Are you feeling the Bern ???

[G GOLLY WAlly]

Well first let me say I'm not a veteran, I haven't served in the armed forces. I thought very seriously about joining the Airforce right out of high school even stood inches from the recruiting office door but never entered. Looking back I regret not walking through that door, but sometimes we don't always make the right choice.
But for the ones that did walk through that door, I would like to say thank you for your service. While watching the news and listening to Bernie spew his message I thought to myself is he not slapping the face of everyone that has served, fought, and died for this GREAT COUNTRY? I mean is he not pushing the very agenda that all of these men and women fought against to keep our nation free from. That we might have the opportunity to operate our own businesses, to live in a country that we're free to make our own decisions, to make a good life for ourselves and our families. I just don't understand why these Washington Democrats claim this country is on a road to disaster, if this country is in such trouble and Socialism is so great why then are these people flocking to the United States? I know things aren't perfect we could make improvements, but Socialism IS A ROAD TO DISASTER! How can so many people be so blind? I'm no genius but I know Socialism doesn't work so yeah I feel the Bern, it burns my ass every time I hear some one pushing Socialism.

Unfortunately they are pushing socialist ideals at the colleges and universities. Hollywood and the American media have a hand in this too. This is the propaganda that the Soviets put in play so many decades ago. It is still going strong...... Americans used to be quick to flush out communism wherever it popped up. Now when it pops up, it is propagated.

I have moved this thread here to keep it out of the general area due to it's political rant nature. Things like this generally go off track and tend to get nasty. This section has pretty much become an area for such threads. No editing has been done......just a simple move.

Both parties collude. There’s no real difference, in the end. The conservatives have conserved nothing, and the liberals haven’t liberated anything but societal ills. This going back well over a century. Nothing good has come of changes (pick a date, 1870 forward.

The lies are overcoming as is taught. As is used for justification to societal changes or even to war. FDR lied us into war against the Germans & Japanese. (Neither the real enemy)

Pick your target. Use the Net well while you still can.

The bastardization of language is the trend over time. Those in power define it. Lately, merit means nothing. Rationality is dangerous. Facts are destructive. Forget any appeal to God.

I’ll give Trump credit for being the funniest ever SOB in the White House. LBJ & Clinton were raconteurs out of the public eye, but Orange Man Bad! is hilarious the way he can play off of it.

Some decent stuff since 2017 — some that isn’t — as his Admin moves along. One hopes for a lot more. He’s a pause till the war changes into a higher gear.

But no one is faster off the mark than he when in person.

Sorry I posted in the wrong area, totally understand stand, kinda wondered if it needed to be in preppers when I started. Yeah I remember my 8th grade civics teacher saying that Russia interferes with all of our presidential elections, and that they've had a candidate run for president in every election, that they would take over without firing a shot. He Also talked about the dumbing down of the educational system now more evident than ever. I've noticed over the years that the media never shows socialism in a bad light I can't honestly say I've ever seen anything about the goings on in Venezuela. I guess since I'm old enough to have actually had civics and history glasses growing up I can see a lot of things unfolding that older generations have warned of. The young people of today have been groomed to believe that everything should be done for them that's why free this and free that let the government take care of you is so appealing.

I don't like to get into politics on here , as all see Capt knows how it ends up . But I have 2 words for Burnout ..... " SEMPER FI " ! I'm done !

The dumbing down of the educational system is atrocious. The achievement gap ( between highest and lowest level kids) is at an all time high. Despite the fact that the public schools are doing everything in their power to close the gap. Even if it means bringing the top kids down..... The ACLU and NAACP are forcing this gap to be closed at all costs. Bringing the top kids down is easily done while bringing the kids up from the bottom is a futile effort. A lot of the kids at the bottom are there because they don't care. Flat out. And no figure of authority can make them. They would rather be hanging out on the street and only come to school for free food because they have no food at home. Then the school district wants to base the teachers review on being able to motivate these children. Then the school district wonders why there is a shortage of teachers. My wife has been a 7th grade special education teacher in the same public school for over 20 years.

Now I will get down off of my soap box.

Shade , God Bless your Wife ! It takes a special person to do what she does . Make sure you tell her what I said !

When my daughter was a junior In high school I had to go to a parent, teacher conference after school with my daughter. The people in the meeting were me, my daughter, the teacher and a counselor. It was just over tipical high school stuff bad grades, not getting along with the teacher stuff like that. And my daughter does have a mouth when she's had enough just like her father so I new my daughter was part of the problem. So we started the meeting and I can't even remember what all was said but I kept watching the body language of this 20 something yr old teacher every time it was my daughter's turn to talk she would constantly twirl her hair and roll her eyes. So after about 15 minutes of this I'd had enough and stood up leaned across the table and told the teacher look it's clear to me you don't want to be here, so if you have somewhere else you'd rather be you need to go because you've already pissed me off. So without a word she gets up and leaves, I sit back down and apologize for my actions and said if that's what my daughter has to put up with no wonder there's a problem as you've seen I can't put up with her. Don't get me wrong I couldn't be a teacher especially now when their hands are tied when it comes to discipline, but some people shouldn't be teaching. I had teachers back in the day that it was obvious they were only drawing a check one in particular Mr Cowin my 7th grade math teacher, when you entered his room every day all you saw was the news paper in his face, feet propped up on the desk, and his cup of coffee on his desk. When the bell rang he lowered his paper and very loudly said THE ASSIGNMENTS ON THE BOARD SHUT UP! then he went back to reading his paper and never said another thing the entire hour, the guy was a complete joke should've never became a teacher. And some of my high school friend's who I knew were bad students became teachers and I've always thought they were bad students how in the world could they be good teachers ?

Bern stated he was going to sweep Texas, let's see here......4 stops = 26,000. Half were in libtard Austin. Oh wow, a big 26,000.

Trump's last rally over 100,000 at one location.

Funny how the lying media promote socialism/ communism. But their blind eye shall befall them. Look how communist China censors media. And Bern wants the US to be like that.

Funny how media hype of Corona is spreading fear. China made this virus, and hides true reporting. Media spreads the fear in hopes to disrupt Trump presidency by crashing the market.

Just do a little research, corona is less deadly than the flu, which comes every year. Only 2% actually die from corona. Gotta dig deep to find that.

Left has expelled all ammunition, Trump exonerated. They even tried Russian meddling in 2020 here recently. That was a puff.

The more they push bern the better Trump. The other socialists have no real plan. Mike is a chump and takes it both ways.


Just kant fix stupid.

Wish me luck I'm about to go see my buddy Eugene we support different political parties so we don't talk a lot of politics, but I'm curious about his views on how this is all going at the moment.

 

[G GOLLY WAlly]

Red beard, he'll probably sweep Austin

That and 2 counties down by the boarder who like Beto. Bern is wishing deep in that well. But maybe a magic unicorn will appear spewing flames and rainbows out its (where is the jackass emoji?)

357 Magnum .......what? You like bern? Sweeping Austin? Umm? I hope not!
