Trying to ignore the farce that is politics

I have been trying to ignore the farce that is politics in the United States, but that is becoming increasingly difficult.  I think my country has gone crazy.  I know the democrats have.  So here is what I have observed and put together.  Back in 1964, we passed the Civil Rights Bill which on the surface was a really good thing.  On the surface, it would create equality for the black population.  Well, it did not.  For along with the Civil Rights Act, we also passed very generous welfare bills.  And the Democrats encouraged the black population to jump on that bandwagon.  They were downtrodden.  They deserved to be taken care of.  What they did was destroy all self esteem, destroyed the black families, herded them into ghettos.  They created a new plantation and they told the blacks that the democrats were going to take care of them.  In essence, what they did was create a new form of slavery.  And when the blacks were no longer of use to them, they abandoned them.  They jumped on the bandwagon for the illegal foreign national in this country.  They are equating them with legal immigrants, blurring the lines between immigrants and illegal foreign invaders.  And ever democrat has jumped on that bandwagon.  And then we have the Democratic Socialists.  They cannot even tell you what a socialist is.  They can't even articulate what they are representing except that everything has to be free. The new darling of the democrats is supposed to have a degree in economics  and international politics and yet she could not articulate why she felt that the Israelis were keeping the Palestinians down.  She could also not articulate where Israel is compared to the West Bank.  She is a bartender.  And now she is going to sit in our congress.  If she had a brain, she would take it out and play with it.  Of course she would champion socialism as she knows it.  She is Puerto Rican and that island has been on the public dole for over 100 years.  They have socialism and the taxpayers on the mainland pay for it.  That is what she wants to push for the United States with no knowledge that there will be no one to pick up the tab for it.  Nor can she or any of the Democratic socialists articulate how it would be different from the old USSR or Venezuela.  It is sad that the Democratic party has allowed them to claim the party, but they have.  I came on the coattails of WW2.  I remember listening to the news on the Korean War.  I remember the fear that my parents had that 1) My father would be recalled and 2) that we would get in a war with China.  Then we had the Cold War.  I very well remember the Cuban missile crises.  I remember hearing the adults talking and wondering if we would all die.  I remember all this.  Those fools do not even know the history of this nor of socialism. 

And Bernie Sanders is a piece of garbage who has never held a job in his life.  He was a protester during the Vietnam war.  Then he went to congress.  He is one of the 1% he villifies.  His wife bankrupted a college.  He is a piece of trash and would like nothing better than to have a socialist country and for him to be dictator of that country.  If this is the new generation, God help us all.
