Roll down this Willamette Week article about some person or other scouring for signatures for the Gay Marriage ballot measure in rural-est Oregon,

a random comment…

While I’m pleased to see a return to more Eisenhower style Republicanism (it’s none of my business, so why should I make your moral decisions?), I still find parts of this article laughable.

Hm.

The figure in power at the time of the nation’s most stratified gender norms?
Granted… this isn’t specific to Eisenhower, and kind of peters out to Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn…
And I suppose the key is that Eisenhower’s vaguely patriotic religiosity… “Don’t care what the religion be, so much as you are such”…
Hm.

No.  You lost me here.
