President Trump promised us he'd make America great again. And that was when Ronald Reagan starred in 'This is the Army' with its drag number and Bugs Bunny appeared in drag. That was G rated entertainment for the whole family. So, America was great when drag was accepted. We need to return to that. Ronald Reagan! He became President! And they tell me he was one of the greatest. Ever. Probably sent by God. Like President Trump. That was about the time the Nazis decided that the 'not us' were bad - kill the Jews. Jewish lives matter right? No... there was the voyage of the St. Louis so… Plus Jews control the world anyway. Soros… open societies...bad… not us… freedom… um… If we had an open society with transparency… no… that’s not right…. we are baning books...under the first amendment. because the 2nd amendment guarantees our gun rights...and to say what we want...not what someone else might want to say...or be… pursuit of happiness…. well...that’s our happiness… not theirs… if they are like… different...well.. you know what I mean. And the Nazis were also bad for burning and banning books. Animals! Sub human troglodytes. Not like people are removing books that deny people or relationships exist. People will be indoctrinated. Look at all the transgender people Bugs Bunny created… Then that move...”Some like it Hot”? That last line by Joe E Brown….’nobody’s perfect...’ when Jack Lemon said he was a guy… Hmmm....I am getting confused... which was good/bad again? What are we doing now? What makes America great? Of course America did persecute the 'not us' back then too. Um.… So being ugly, denying rights, that was great? Everyone can suck seeds if they can buy them… ah… u.. doesn’t matter who you are, color, religion… um.. How about we build America back again into what it was. Like when Eisenhower did all those highways. It would be anti-American to be against a 'build back America' plan right? Make America great again with great highways, power grid, etc? Screw that — national debt — buying votes. Tax give aways, those are good. Taxes too high. Why didn't President Trump get us out of the middle east — Biden did a bad job — except President Trump said he would get us out — he said he was smarter than all the Generals too...? He was making America Great Again, right? Or was America great during the 1850s? Wait what? Perhaps we need Critical History Theory. All those new movies that don't have John Wayne in them are a bunch of communist, nazi, whatever...crap. That's what it is. Crap! We can't portray things as they were! The 'not us' don't exist! Or they shouldn't. Two guys kissing! WOW! What is up with that? Unless they are father and son. Um… And Alan Turing...how many lives did he save — but he was a bad man. Firemen and police officers and soldiers save lives! They are our heroes. But if they are the ‘not us’….well...their service is an example for ‘their kind’. The rest of them...should be like that… Turing broke the codes….saved at least 100,000s…. well….whatever. We are all native Americans! We were BORN RIGHT HERE! We didn't come into this land and refuse to learn the culture and the language... wait what? We didn't flood across the border right? And we kept our word! We didn't keep taking more land. Nobody flooded Oklahoma to grab land… that’s unacceptable. You can’t take my land. Native Americans we are! People of the two spirits — honored and revered. Wait...no… that’s not right… Jesus said… love others as I have loved you… well, Jesus didn’t mean ‘them’. Ariel Sharron gave the Palestinians land. So good thing settlements don't get built on land given. Except....if...you don't want... peace. Well, they are different. They aren't like us. All those semites in the middle east under the Abrahamic religions.... After all not like Christians and Protestants tried to kill each other... uh... Them. They. Those. Say...what are we selling these days? Oh...I remember. Intolerance, anti-life, slam the door shut and ignore the statue of liberty, nazi book banning, people don’t want homes — look at the homeless! What’s that American dream… .... wait...what? I am confused again. We are for democracy and truth. Joe Biden stole that election. Except the people who said he stole the election never believed that and said so... And people's lives where ruined for standing up for the truth. So the truth is bad.... we don't ...want...lives.....ruin… But votes… only the bad guys would try to lean on people to get votes. Tammany Hall - bad. Wait...what? You lost me. If we had religion in schools we wouldn't have school shootings....except there were those shootings in the house of God... churches.... like in Ft. Worth Texas - God's mighty hand guiding conservative values... Um...Reagan… Only a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun, so if God had a gun at that church then…. but bad guys… school shooters… crooks... Wait...we are for law and order. And anyone that expects to come here to get it should just get the hell out and not come across our borders to escape from drug cartels.... um.... they can't come here for a better life. We were born here. Our ancestors were born here. Our ancestors didn't come for a better life....so...… And we don’t have room. There are too many of them. What...100 or 200,000 at the border and there are 330,000,000 people here? So...that’s like...too many...to come here. Its their fault. Freedom and democracy... yes...that's it....we are for that.... So if some country invades another we should fight for freedom and democracy. We spent 20 years in the middle east bringing peace and democracy.... And Aggression. That's bad. We should preserve democracies where they exist! That's American! That's what the Vietnam War was about.... they told me. Stop communism. Russia is communist.... all that cold war stuff.... showed them... their system failed.... bad! Except... they say we should leave Ukraine out of it and make them negotiate and cede land to Russia for Putin's despot desire. Putin leads the communist party so.… But George Bush looked into Putin’s soul… President Trump likes Putin... Putin's not like Hitler. Hitler just marched into countries and took over the place. That didn't happen in Crimea a few years ba... and they are not....um... attacking.... and killing… Ukraine should negotiate. Yeah.... we shouldn't be defending democracy where the people are ready to fight to the bitter end and repel aggression. When America was Great we just said, meh, let the Nazi's have Europe...or... wait... lend lease? Arsenal of Freedom? So its American to not get into wars... like europe...but...middle east...vietnam.... What? You lost me. What is it we stand for? None of this makes sense… [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/4/22/2165404/-What-what Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
