Sanders, Trump, Cruz, et al different words, SAME MESSAGE

“America, you’ve been screwed“

Sanders: “The 1% are the Valois, and the Bourbons, GE, and Goldman Sachs and the corporate Republicans are in charge of the Bastille, and you’re in it, and I’m not going to say it, but Hillary and WS Dems are proxies who lie to you, BUT YOU HEAR ME ANYWAY - THAT’S why the middle class is dying and your net worth has dropped so badly. Kill them in the American way and take their assets so you can live your lives.”


Trump: “Obama and the dems are foolish morons whose naive and idiotic decisions have bankrupted our trade abilities, and foreclosed alliances from being effective, emboldening our enemies, and THAT’s why there are no middle class jobs, and if you think these corporate Republicans are going to help, they’re no different from the naive and foolish democrats.”


Cruz: “The Democrat party are a bunch of polite Bolsheviks whose only answer is to strip you of your rights, and beliefs here while surrendering overseas so they can exert central control whose direction yielded only failure in the last 7 years, and I won’t exactly say it but Rove, and McConnell and the rest of these bought and paid for career pols are just as bad in their way, and THAT’S why there are no middle class jobs.”

_____________________________
END OF THE ‘AMERICA. YOU’RE SCREWED MESSAGE‘

Hillary: “Everyone alive should vote, my life is just like yours, and the Republicans hate wimmin anyway, and my name is Clinton, REMEMBER THOSE GREAT DAYS?”

Jeb: “I’m not crazy and common core is good, and I speak Mexic.., err Spanish, and I appear to be better than those crazy somewhat socialist dems.”

Carly: “I actually have a clue, ASK ANYONE - but no one hears me. GODDAMMIT!”

Rubio: “I’m not THAT wild, and I’m serious, and even though I won’t even INTIMATE IT, I’m sick of the R leadership, and I know you all know how dangerous Hillary and Bernie will be.”

Good summation.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the 80's and 90's in Los Angeles.

I was in my 20's and 30's then.

There was a recession around the early 90's, but other than that, it was nothing but boom boom boom, for about 17-18 years there ...

until the NASDAQ crashed.

At the same time, the Dodgers and Lakers were great, and there was this sense, in LA that nothing could stop us.

At the time, I did not quite understand that things would never get that good again. I was really blessed to live through such a time.

Sad thing is, I have kids. And they are living NOW. There is little opportunity. There is little excitement. There is just a sense of fear and doom.

My kids are now young adults just past the start of their careers. Enthusiasm for the USa and its future has been replaced by gritty determination and a recognition that self gain and self promotion has replaced the idea of hard work being rewarded.
NONE is interested in the problems of entrepreneurship anymore, given the direction of the MAJORITY OF VOTERS.
One boy is a conservative who had told me numerous times he needs to keep this more secret than if he was an trans homosexual, the other is a progressive whose doubts are now manifest and he has to keep the DOUBTS secret. My daughter grows more conservative (2 kids) by the month. Her attitude about illegal immigration is to the right of mine.

And I live in a place, where if this was 100 years ago, foreign policy would never enter any political conversation, and national issues would intrude only for a month or so every 4 years

The danger signs for the nation are ALL AROUND US.

As I recall the past, I recognize (albeit in hindsight) certain points in time when "change" became a notable memory.
On the playground, as a student in a K-8 parochial school during the late '60's thru '70's...squabbles ending with the phrase "...it's a free country, I can say whatever I want."
In 7th or 8th grade at the same school as above, witnessing the change from an ultra frugal learning environment, one which enforced paper conservation to extremes...every shred of paper must be visibly used on both sides until there wasn't a clear space remaining...books were considered treasures, it was sacrilege to mark or bend pages within...to where a storage closet of "discarded" library books were to be shredded or offered to any student willing to give it a good home. I remember taking one, then two and feeling greedy for wanting to save all the books from the shredder. The nuns encouraged us to take as many as we wanted. How could books be treasures and yet discarded or even shredded? I wish I'd paid more attention to the titles. Unfortunately, I never read any of the books I took home from that day.

As a teen and young adult I enjoyed music but did not pay attention to the lyrics. Today, when I hear many of those familiar tunes, I question my sanity of those days. Lyrics? So many 'dance' tunes had little to no lyrics. Think "Get down...boogie oogie oogie". Oy! Or any of Boy George and the Culture Club songs...I'm embarrassed to admit I purchased those LP's back in the day. Dare I express an opposing opinion of contemporary 'hits' given such tastes in music, gender, politics, society?

Mixed messages were thoroughly common, to the 50's - '80's generations, we were fully conditioned to accept confusion, hence the state of affairs we endure today & continues unabated. Our children have been nurtured even more thoroughly by our continued fully molded conditioning at home.

What we see today is the consequence of acceptance of 'change' for changes sake. Those old farts (grandparents, priests, ministers, rabbis, founding fathers etc.) what would they know?

Too few think for themselves and believe they can learn from history and too few wake and divert away from the path of 'change' in time.
