Here we go – from CNN:
…Parham, a 41-year old state employee, says her kids repeatedly ask for Happy Meals, mainly for the toys. “We have to say no to our kids so many times and McDonald’s makes that so much harder to do. I object to the fact that McDonald’s is getting into my kids’ heads without my permission and actually changing what my kids want to eat.”…
She’s being joined in the suit by the leftist group pressure group, Center for Science in the Public Interest – so, this is a very liberal thing to do. Want to know something? The lady has a point.
Let’s face this fact – McDonald’s relentlessly advertises their happy meals and other things in order to get kids to want them. The kids, in turn, pressure the parents in to buying the products. The parents, finally, give in because its easier than arguing. But here is what is being missed: in this oh, so liberal attempt to protect the kiddies from the nefarious effects of relentless propaganda, our liberals are entirely ignoring the fact that its not just happy meals being marketed.
In addition to the harmless-if-its-occasional happy meals, kids are being relentlessly sold on abandoning their religion, having sex at ever younger ages, obeying the dictates of an all-encompassing government (which will provide everything – education and housing and health care and abortions) and following slavishly the fashions put forward by corporate bosses. All of this is being done without parental permission, and with nary a peep about it from our liberals (or, indeed, by hardly anyone). What is at stake here, for our liberals, is just another idiotic attack on a particularly disliked corporation – what is missing here is the fact that if a McDonald’s happy meal was our primary problem, we’d have no problems, at all.
What would be the ultimate outcome of this liberal campaign if it won all down the line? I guess a ban on cheeseburgers – and liberals would probably feel pretty happy about that. But for people who are free of both the liberal as well as the corporate/government narrative, the reality is that we must shut off the anti-human propaganda before an entire generation of Americans are wrecked (though, of course, for a lot of liberals a wrecked generation is ideal – people who are moral ciphers are easily controlled by a Ruling Class). This is serious business – naturally, liberals concentrate on the trivial and don’t even consider the larger implications of their own words and actions.
We, as citizens, must address the real issue which liberals ignore. Do we want a society where parents, families and friends instruct the children, or a society where money- and power-grubbing elites create a mass of serfs ready for oppression? Without our leave, the youth of America is being taught to be lazy, indifferent, narcissistic and licentious. Do we have the courage to call a halt? Or will we, on our side, also miss the larger issue?
