"Ernie" has some thoughts about young democrats.
What's going on with the young democrats? Looks like fantasy hour at Miss Moppets PreSchool for the mentally impaired. These millennials have watched so much Star Trek Space Odyssey sci-fi they can't tell the difference between fiction and reality. They see the Flintstones zoom around in flying sedans and think we shud be doing that. Their imagination can't envision the skies over New York filled with millions of people in flying autos going to work.(and they propose all this while wanting to abandon air travel).
Forget trying to explain Econ 101 to them. Forget the history of varying forms of failed gov'ts. Don't even think about teaching logic. The only instructors they ever listened to were obviously Lenin, Marx, Stalin and Alinsky. Perhaps a little Mao thrown in along the way.
I'm afraid I can never be friends again with anyone who thinks the country should be steered by a nitwit like Alexandria Ocrazio-Cortez. It was bad enough when they kissed the rings if Pelosi and Chuck U. Schumer, but embracing this 28 year old barmaid can be nothing less than the result of their socialist education and Hollywood sci-fi fantacism gone crazy. If this is today's democrat party I want nothing to do with it, nor with the people who blindly and enthusiastically support it.
Can't help but remember Soviet President Krushchev gloating that America would one day become a communist state, and it would happen thru the democrat party. The old boy was quick to pick up on the fondness the dems openly expressed for a gov't that had control and ownership over every aspect of a country's financial, industrial, social and informational needs. Talk about Utopia!
Youngesters who love Che Guevara but have no inkling of what a piece of crap he was. Maybe it’s time to start selling Pol Pot t-shirts online. Millenials won’t know about him either but I’ll promote them as cool, edgy and hip. Millenials will buy just about anything online. Same way they’ll buy what they are fed in schools. And not just Millenials but even high school students as well.
It’s cool and hip for a new breed of Congress Critter to call Trump a MF’r. Cool and hip for a new breed of Congress Critter to spew religious hatred whilst wearing her religious garb. Cool and hip to fall and kowtow before the hate-monger Sarsour. Cool and hip to watch an ersatz Mexican named “Beto” getting his teeth cleaned.
Damn, if I weren’t an old white man I’d consider the cool and hip route. Doesn't require experience or an I.Q. Easy peasy.

The Vietnam War protesters of the 1960s were similarly impaired with a lack of reality and pragmatism I call it cognitive dissonance (CD). A large percentage of them continued their schooling and became teacher or instructors in all levels of our educational system. Over the decades they have rewritten history in the minds of the young and impressionable. They were helped along by an evil bias in the media, which helped change history and even rewrite and change current events. The minds of many youngsters today are so skewed with CD that logic, even reality escapes them. Just look at how much the Democratic Party has changed since the elevation of LBJ to the presidency. The USA is truly in peril and people like Trump, as crude and self absorbed as he is, are keeping us afloat.

The Marxist students of the 60s are now in charge of education and information, so nothing is going to change til they find themselves living under the communist govt they created. Maybe then they'll finally learn what brought about the collapse of the USSR. A cynic might say they'll get what they deserve, but I can't help but realize there are lots of US patriots who'll pay the price as well, including my grandkids.

The Marxist students of the sixties created the Marxist students of the eighties, who in turn created the Marxist voters and politicians of today. If something doesn't work, but you keep doing the same thing over and over again: That's insanity!
