Over time I got more and more involved with this thing called politics and the more I learned the more startled I became…probably a better word would be, “disappointed”. I was disenchanted that the party my father was so found of was not what he would agree with if he were alive today. Even that poster boy of the time, Ted Kennedy was on the flip side of his brother former President John F. Kennedy. Something really bad had happened and yet the general public was none the wiser. I took political science and history classes in college to try and get a better handle on what was going on. But then I took a course called, “Texas Politics” only to learn this has been going on for some time. Lyndon Baines Johnson was no saint that’s for sure…let’s just say, “He was really, really bad!” long before he became president of the United States.
I mentioned that the general public was none the wiser. In fact it was worse than that! They were now ignorant (as opposed to dumb)! Most everyone I would talk with was lacking in knowledge of what was going on around them. The country was literally beginning to fall apart from the inside out but you would never know if all you did was listen to the politicians and get your news from the main stream media (MSM). Everything was becoming controlled…especially with the news media! We were brainwashed with the nightly news to the extent we all believed that the most trusted man in America was CBS news anchor, Walter Cronkite*…turns out he was a traitor to the Republic and belonged to groups supporting a one world government…even stating that America must give up its sovereignty! How’s that for a discovery? My point here is that all of us must discover for ourselves the damage being done by our elected officials. If you voted for anyone once and things got worse why do you vote for the same person again? To use the old saying, “The definition of insanity is when you do the same thing over and over again expecting different results.” Obviously I’m not the only one to discover the deterioration of the Democratic Party but when it’s a foreigner from far away New Zealand it makes me wonder how much my friends and family who are still hanging on to the Democratic Party are still absorbing their news from the MSM. Mr. Trevor Loudon gives an interesting speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. last October but pay particular attention to that which he says between 9:00 and 10:10 minutes…his discovery is not so wonderful. ~ Norman E.

Ps: By the way, I’m not a Republican…strictly independent! And that’s really, really good!
