It’s a weird world when the ideal male is the one displayed in the Obamacare ads. The head of the dynasty was already a TV personality back in Louisiana doing a hunting and fishing show when he and his family were tapped to star in the Duck Dynasty series. The Obamacare chap was a left wing political activist.
Compare and contrast. And for what it’s worth, the following is a straight up ad for Obamacare which is discussed here.
UPDATE: This is from Mark Steyn in a brief but clearly angry post that should be read in full. His title is Re-Education Camp and directs his aim at the editor of National Review:
I am sorry my editor at NR does not grasp the stakes. Indeed, he seems inclined to ‘normalize’ what GLAAD is doing. But, if he truly finds my ‘derogatory language’ offensive, I’d rather he just indefinitely suspend me than twist himself into a soggy pretzel of ambivalent inertia trying to avoid the central point — that a society where lives are ruined over an aside because some identity-group don decides it must be so is ugly and profoundly illiberal. As to his kind but belated and conditional pledge to join me on the barricades, I had enough of that level of passionate support up in Canada to know that, when the call to arms comes, there will always be some ‘derogatory’ or ‘puerile’ expression that it will be more important to tut over. So thanks for the offer, but I don’t think you’d be much use, would you?
