The Decorum Police are Liars

Glenn Reynolds

I’m amused when people who’ve spent 50 years declaring the very concept of decency repressive and outdated suddenly start with the “have you no decency?” shtick. When Joseph Welch used that phrase, it was pretty much Peak Decency, or as we’re now told, a horrible regressive time of racism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia.

I'm so old that I remember that women with notches on their bedposts were "empowered" and "slut walks" were all the rage because power.  When Christians and their values were denounced and leaders of the Democrat Party used the "F-word" to demonstrate their street cred.
