Re: good round-up to get us to where we are today (none / 1)

Bravo, Brenda.

it is so sad when our country has turned the page of democracy, into the rules of deception.

when will people recognize that it is total monetary control we live under, not only corporate greed, but down to the level of personal egotistic greed.

the past four administrations this country has elected, (valid or not) have systematicly stolen our rights. these rights that generations have suffered and died for.

I can assure you that there is a rumbling going on in this country, and every chance, I intend to make it louder, until it becomes a roar that hopefully will awaken the sleeping mass'.

again, I salute you...

peace be with you ..

IP!!!!

Where have you been??????

I miss your voice here. Thank you for your kind words. Yes we have all been snookered for so long of a time.

I know that many have great things to say about Bill and Hill, but they are not who we think they are, or at least how they project themselves to be, IMHO. yes certainly they are not as bad as this administration but they are just a corruptible

We all could use a refresher course in our history, me thinks.

Hugs my brother. Stay well and safe.

Hey Brenda, great to hear from ya, I've been busy, up to my eyeballs in work, and constantly telling people everywhere I go about the injustice we have been submitted to.
You would be surprised to know the numbers of people I have been talking to, and have converted to a different thought train. It has not been so much in what I have to say, but what they are witnessing that is converting so many. The Proof is in the Pudding let us say.
The more the scoundrels that are running things are going to get caught. Not just this administration but several in the past. It's catching up with them.
As I have said many times, if you want to get a person's attention, get in their wallet ; )

I'm an Independent, always have been, always will, so it's not about Republican/Democrat, it's about what's right, and we allready knnow the wrong.

great to hear from ya, and hope to chat with you again.

peace be with you...

Re: good round-up to get us to where we are today (4.00 / 2)

me too IP. I am independent. I tried once to be a dem but it did not work out for more than one month...:o) What can I say....wink wink. The dem party around this part of the country is worthless as, well, you get the drift...;o) YOu are absolutely right about the politics of day present and days in the past.

Good for you to stay in the pitch of things. My brother is a dem and he even worked with and for the dem party till they stabbed him in the back, many years ago. He does not have much nowadays to say about the good of either party. He abhors the rebubs. So guess he is sorta in the same boat as you and I.

As a matter of fact, I need to get off h ere and get ready for a long drive this w/e to go and see them, the family. He is much older than I and he is not in good health. I just feel the need to go and see him for a day or so. Took some vacation days to do this.

Anyhoo, do stay well and safe and try hard not to get into any trouble....wink, wink....hugs...
