Were the young Brits trying to achieve what younger Americans attempting to achieve with Bernie? They have been shoved under the bus and led to believe by big business and banking, as well as the big pigs trying to remove retirement security from all people,  now and into the future. In attempting to change the world, these people have been encouraged to rip off one another? Are these young people trying to rip off big business and banks,even if the repercussions hit many others in the process? Who can blame them, after watching delegates stolen from someone with less wealth who speaks their language?

The USA with stubbornly ignorant foolish loudmouths attack the very government which, over time, has given us the life we enjoy.  It’s a life far better than many others have experienced around the world. It’s a better life than what our ancestors experienced. Such people are foolish in not recognizing the problem really exists with large business, its control over banks, insurance, media, and government. The younger people recognize this. They spoke in Britain. They are trying to speak in the USA and are being squelched, even by those who pretend to be liberal and progressive – as is the claim of a supposed “frontrunner” (who actually moves the directions of wind and trends).

Republicans de-regulated banks and finance industry, among other business entities in the 1980s. Republicans rid us of regulatory protection from the media “Fairness Doctrine.” Then Democrats control White House  (1990s). People figured there would be an alternative. But alas, it was still a 2-party system winning a 3-party race. The Democrat in the White House strengthened the deregulation begun by Republicans, extending the demise of the “Fairness Doctrine” as well.  Deregulation of cable television and mergers to create large monopolies with single control of the media and begin the implementation of non-objective media under a false claim that the media would be more conservative. A bunch of bull which too many swallowed such putrid cow manure. In effect, all good things which made America strong following WWII and gave us a better standard of living was ripped apart by noisy ignorant fools who were very convincing with the movement’s actor in the White House. Unappreciated s***heads tore down objectivity in news and more competitive capitalism.

In today’s world, these unappreciated non-intelligent s***heads blame government and work to shut it down, rather than regulate big business to be MORE COMPETITIV and destroying monopolies which destroy capitalist competition.

Little people are mesmerized into drug-induced fantasy that democracy works when owning stock and voting as a stock holder. That is one big fat lie. Only the small number who own the largest accumulations of stock run the companies, like a bunch of little napoleon cowards. Together, everyone else, collectively, own most of the stock, but are forbidden from the decision-making process.

That’s likely thereasoning, said or un-said, for Britexit and Bernie Sanders being so popular. That’s the reason George Will left the Republican Party giving tepid support to Hillary and endorsing a Republican Congress. He sees the same thing Bernie supporters see: a Hillary easily manipulated by big business and bank and finance industry. He sees monopolies being enabled to tighten their fascist grip on America and George Will likes the possible results which could be good for bigots like him and the racists and other hateful Americans.

George Will is leaving the Republican Party. Big deal. He wants Hillary as president and Congress controlled by GOP. Wrong. He wants the party blocking government accomplishing anything to continue stalemate. Foolish stupid man. But then, what can we expect from a man who rejects LGBT, saying he does in writing in his column.

Why does he get his voice heard – a voice of hatred against people like me? Interview me on television as to why I left the Republican Party. I can speak with reason and intelligence.  But then, I insult lovers of money and the bigots. What can I say about America today and its corporate controlled media which gives heed to people like George Will.

Don’t know what to think about yesterday’s vote in Britain to leave EU. On historical basis and learning from history, its not so good. The reason for the UK joining EU in 1975 was to solve problems of rampant inflation and it did solve problem. Will it work in reverse and lead back to inflation and other problems? Only time will tell. c i

Another example from history, from Zakaria’s book, is about the time Britain first emerged as a world power.Vj China had been world power,  but entered age of isolation about the same time. China fell into poverty while Britain began to thrive.

History can teach us a great deal but bean counters, bureaucrats and barbarians lead the masses in the wrong direction. Learn from history, rather than the latest hothead leading to oblivion.

To be fair to such objective thinking, also look more deeply at Ancient China and its fall into poverty. When China began to isolate itself, it also destroyed small merchants and businesses which had helped China thrive in the world as a world power. Ironically, those encouraging Britain remain in EU were those of big business and big banks. The thoughts of the “exiters” sounded like a backlash against big business and favoring small business. One could argue that the “exiters” were actually encouraging the same small merchant environment as that in existence in Ancient China which the Chinese destroyed, paving the way for Britain and its small business environment to emerge as world power. Comes down to question. Do we want world power or just to live in peace in a comfortable way for all?

Of all the states which have signed on to create constitutional conventions to rid this nation of the scourge of Citizens United decision which defines big corporations as people, I find none from Dixie.   Same pattern with regard to Obamacare.  No state in the Deep South – the power brokers in those states – support ^we the people.”  Read the text of the Drew Scott Decision, written by a Dixie plantation owner from Georgia and discover the reason. The Southern imbeciles, aligned with wealth from Cuba and Latin banana republics with plantations and a dim view of the value of human labor and you can understand.

The North bailed out the South. Rather than show appreciation once bailed out, the South in stubborn ignorance and insisting on power over people who truly believe “all men are created equal,” insists on “rising again,” with its plantation model called “Citizens United.” 

When will the War of Northern Aggression put the Southern plantation and banana republic thugs and bullies out of business?  I want to see it  beforehe thugs put “we the people” out of business.

It’s not about family values v. gay people.  There are many heterosexuals with lousy family values. At the same time, there are many homosexuals with lousy family values.  Families are made up of one or two parents or guardians in a loving relationship who love and support their children.  Period.

Anderson Cooper is wonderful!  Pam Bondi fails to understand human beings.  She also needs to learn that she is not doing her anti-gay-marriage thing for the Florida electorate because she likely did not get half the vote because 60% did not vote.

It was the summer of 1968.  I was between my 7th and 8th grade years.  I was being encouraged to learn more about our government and the politics around us.  The nation was broiling from the summer heat and the riots and protests of the younger generation, opposed to the Vietnam conflict.

It was a sad year.  I was in Miami in February and encountered this weird thing called a “teachers’ strike.”  In April, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was gunned down in cold blood, as was NY Senator Bobby Kennedy as he was about to clinch the nomination of the Democratic Party as the candidate for president.

Senator Kennedy had challenged the sitting president, Lyndon B. Johnson, with regard to the escalation of the Vietnam conflict.  There are those who, even today, believe the supposed “attack” in the Gulf of Tonkin was a fake.  For that, we lost a large number of our young people.  Senator Kennedy was successful in challenging LBJ and was about to win the nomination, perhaps even the presidency.  What a shame.

The untimely death of Senator Kennedy threw the 1968 DNC convention into an uproar that spilled into the streets of Chicago, as college students protested and were subsequently beaten up with police brutality.

About the same time, a rock group with an awesome wind section was rising to notoriety.  The group consisted of professionally trained musicians – playing rock music.  It was called Chicago Transit Authority, but ultimately shortened its name to Chicago.  From it’s first album comes a CTA musical statement about the negative and fear politics of 1968, which has, once again, reared it’s ugly head – in 2016 (“Prologue / Someday August 29, 1968“).  In 1968, following two assassinations in this nation, rioting erupted in the street.  So, if people are disappointed because no one is paying attention to the attention to the Democratic Party issue of the “Super Delegates.”  This problem still exists today and is, once again, dividing the Democratic Party along the lines of young and old.  It should not be this way.  In fact, if America would gain some intelligence and LEARN from history, it would not be this way.  But America ignores historians like me.  They don’t want to hear it because it “hurts.”  Wait until they see what REALLY hurts because we don’t learn from history.

One more tune from the CTA album is an instrumental called “Liberation.”  It took up an entire side of one vinyl LP.
