Random thoughts / September 2, 2019 September 2, 2019

Rock was the Music of the of our youth, adulthood, and now our old age.

“Time waits for no one”

… Bob Dylan (78 years old); Paul McCartney (77); Paul Simon (77) and Art Garfunkel (77); Carole King (77); Brian Wilson (77); Mick Jagger (76) and Keith Richards (75); Joni Mitchell (75); Jimmy Page (75) and Robert Plant (71); Ray Davies (75); Roger Daltrey (75) and Pete Townshend (74); Roger Waters (75) and David Gilmour (73); Rod Stewart (74); Eric Clapton (74); Debbie Harry (74); Neil Young (73); Van Morrison (73); Bryan Ferry (73); Elton John (72); Don Henley (72); James Taylor (71); Jackson Browne (70); Billy Joel (70); and Bruce Springsteen (69, but turning 70 next month).

Lets include Graham Nash (77); Stephen Stills (74); David Crosby (78); Ringo Starr(79) and Stevie Nicks (71)

Oh and least we forget… Yoko Ono (86)!!

I really believe that Yoko will survive everyone on this list. She is one of those Japanese women you hear about that live to about 115.

But for every Rock personality on this list I’m sure that any one could name six or more that unfortunately “died before they got old” via accidents, suicide, disease, and a lot of drug overdoeses.

I remember being a kid watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan way back on Feb. 9th 1964. A black day for barbershops all over America. Later being introduced to something called “Hashish” at a friends house in 1966, I recall “Buffalo Springfield” was on the turntable.

In 1969 there was of course “Woodstock”.

The seventies was the era of “prog rock” ELP, YES, King Crinsom et al.

Rock was a big part of our life throughout the seventies and eighties. “Long live Rock”, “Rock and Roll can never die” was what people said.

Of course that’s not true in the case of people. Everyone gets old , “all thing must pass, all things must pass away”.

Even the “Grunge artist” of the nineties are now all in their forties and fifties.

Within twenty years all of them will be gone.

Except Yoko.

What will the Western civilization be like in twenty years?

Perhaps it’s just as well I not around to find out.

It might just SUCK!

Meanwhile in Hong Kong.

Bernie Sanders channels the Soviet Union

Bernie Sanders / August 29, 2019 August 29, 2019

Bernie will be your shepherd, you shall not want.

And he knows that he’ll need a ‘big stick’.

A Sanders government would take control of ...

Your energy choices: His Green New Deal would spend $16 trillion to force you to stop using the energy mostly used today — oil, gas and nuclear. He promises cleaner power and air in return.
Your house and car: The Sanders government would pay to weatherize homes and small businesses, and to upgrade gas-powered cars for electric ones. He would mandate the end of conventional gas car manufacturing in a decade.
Your health insurance: He would eliminate private insurance and put you on a government plan more generous than Medicare. No more copays, deductibles or premiums, too.
Your current student debt: He would eliminate it for everyone.
Your kids’ college: Everyone gets free tuition at public universities, community colleges, trade schools and apprenticeship programs, too.
Your teachers: He will hire more teachers, pay them more, and fund better school supplies.
Your job: He promises full employment.
Your wage: He would guarantee you at least $15 per hour.
Your rich friends: They’ll be paying for much of this with a fat tax increase.
Your own taxes: Sanders has been vague on this one. But the total cost of just the programs listed above are $20 trillion-plus at the lowest possible end over a decade, excluding Medicare for All, which experts say could at least double the total.

What the Sanders campaign says … Josh Orton, policy director, tells Axios:

“Bernie will continue to fight for proposals that save American families money and hold giant corporations accountable. … [T]he cost of doing nothing is significantly more expensive for average American

This is going to require a few thing to happen. The Democrats will need to take over the House and Senate. The Constitution will have to be scrapped, and a new “living one” written, a bill of “rights” of what the Government “CAN” do, like whatever is deemed necessary to control the lives of the people. For the greater good of everyone, especially the ruling class.

This is going to require coercion . A lot of coercion.

After fifty years of indoctination in our public schools they’re plenty of hard core leftest living in America. One only has to look at election night 2016 to realize that these people are unhinged.

They’re thousands of financially powerful hard core Leftist in America. Many are in positions of political power in all levels of Government. They have a fanatical Militant Wing only awaiting a leader.

Bernie could recruit thousands more foot solders from illegal aliens hiding in blue state “sanctuary cities” and from emptying the prisons. But they will be re-filled…with a different kind of ‘felon’.

Who would Bernie pick to be “his” Iron Felix ?

Think all this is impossible, that this couldn’t happen ?

Think again!

Vermont was ranked #3 in patriotism.

How, I don’t know.

Meanwhile out on Cape Cod

Apparantly Obama isn’t that worried about rising sea levels

He did say that he would slow them down

Take a peek at Barak’s new digs

The estate — incredible. It’s 29 beachfront acres. The main residence is just shy of 6,900 square feet. It has 7 bedrooms, so Sasha and Malia have a place to crash, along with several of their friends. It has the obligatory pool, an outdoor fireplace, a chef’s kitchen, vaulted ceilings and 2 guest wings. It has incredible views, especially while soaking in the second-floor balcony Jacuzzi.

Vermont challenges California

Vermont is doomed / August 23, 2019 August 23, 2019

As the Nation’s most Dystopian State.

A race to the bottom.

Excerpts …

Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven advocates for extending the vote to 16-year-olds (“Listen to the Young,” he admonishes). Vermont Public Radio commentator Bill Schubart proclaimed that “I’ve recently learned I’m a “privileged, cisgendered, white male[.] … I’ll keep an open mind about identity politics, and trust the next generation to better educate me on the concept.” Talk about optimism — an old man hoping to be educated about his hitherto unknown identities by those with less than fully formed brain…

Vermont leads the nation in adults who behave like errant children and delegate leadership to infants. Small wonder that Vermont uncritically embraced a 14-year-old candidate for governor. Vermont is the forefront of the new utopian vision of which Ryszard Legutko has cautioned — this is the state where Black Lives Matter flags are flown at numerous schools, and textbooks are edited to teach children that Vermont is a white supremacist culture. This is where young children halt public parades while no police or other authorities intervene.

In Vermont, this experiment now extends to sexual and gender identity decisions in early childhood, and genital-mutilating surgeries at taxpayer expense, which insurance companies are mandated to provide without age minimums. Vermont’s largest hospital even invites children to think ahead before they attempt to alter their sex…

And lets not forget that Vermont has abortion/murder on demand right up until the baby is poking his/her head out of the birth canal. And for any reason, and no one, including the father, may raise any objection at all.

What makes this all so depressing to Me is that in my lifetime I have witnessed my home State flip 180 degrees from a solid conservative Republican to far left wing Progressive. To accomplish this Judeo-Christian morality had to be trashed and eliminated. As it is always with Progressives, Socialist, Communist regimes.

Thirty years ago I never would have imagined Vermont falling so fast.

But it has.

And not a Republican in sight / August 19, 2019 August 19, 2019

Has gone straight to hell !

(A close relative was going to Los Angeles for a vacation next month. She has since changed her mind. Much to my relief.)

Every 60 seconds a crime is committed? Only 35,000 rapist, murderers and theives? The telephone rings every 20 seconds 24/7?

Back in the sixties, those were the good old days Joe.

Be thankful Sgt. Friday that you’re long gone dead and buried.

You could never have imagined what Los Angeles has become today.

**The deepest Sh*thole of all the Democrat ruled cities in America.**

And that’s saying something.

Have the Democrats become a cult? Part XXVI

Democrats, Progressivism / August 14, 2019 August 14, 2019

Why yes…yes they have.

The Left likes to claim that its plans come out of the light side, but history shows they originate in the dark. That’s why all the scientific plans never work out the way that they are meant to. The revolutions devolve into blood rituals. The economic plans fall into corruption and chaos. And when it’s done, masses of brutalized people wander in the shadows and wonder how all this could have happened.

The answer is that leftist politics only pretend to come from the conscious mind, but actually originate in the resentments, fantasies and terrors of the unconscious mind. Leftism isn’t reasoned, it’s rationalized…

Marianne Williamson is unremarkable. After Trump’s election, tens of thousands of women like her swarmed the streets wearing pink hats to shriek at the sky and repel the dark psychic forces. This caucus of crazy white women, who underlie the leftist activist base, are spiritual rather than religious. They believe that they have special insight and are much too smart for organized religion. They are convinced that women are more spiritually attuned than men, that progressives are more sensitive than everyone else, and that they project spiritual forces through their activism that will change the country.

They believe in everything, ghosts, auras, energy forces, UFOs, and even angels, but no God.

That would be blasphemous because what they believe in, above all else, is themselves.

Marianne Williamson, like Obama and Oprah, speak to their inner specialness, to their egos and their conviction that they were put on earth to change the world and feel good about themselves. They assure them that all their inner conflicts can be resolved by directing their energy into politics and that they will be assured of immortality if their political activism puts them on the right side of history. They are their own goddesses, their religion is narcissism, and the church is leftist politics.

So where does Marianne Williams stand on the issues?

Everything you need to know is here.

Most (people) on the left think she’s a Looney Toon also.

When the left employs stormtroopers like Antifa, it’s not hard to why. Violent revolution has always been the Lefts S.O.P. New age spiritualism, especially if it includes “love” is simply not going to cut it.

But Witchcraft. Now that’s a different thing altogether.

Now is there any wonder why Vermont and the rest of New England are deep blue.
