I'm So Old I Remember When Liberals...

It's like every few months a new one pops up from our resident partisans. I don't see the left doing that. I see the right sharing all types of unknown crappy blogs and partisan rags from the deep corners of conservative blogosphere. Like is there somewhere other than Drudge Report where they get this stuff?

I see some of it on Drudge, but NOT all by any means.

I am also old enough to remember when Conservatives were in favor of free trade, American exceptionalism, and the rule of law. Now they have but one rule. If Trump does it they like it. It so simplistic that it almost sounds like surrendering their souls.
 
I am not old enough to remember a time when conservative policies were palatable to me. I came of age during the Second Iraq War.

Myself I read liberal to Conservative views. That said I stay away from nutcase sites. I still stumble upon them, but usually not more than once.

Nowadays it's the Democrats/Media who are afflicted by that sort of thinking.

LIBERAL MEDIA SEES A RUSSIAN CONSPIRACY IN EVERY TRUMP POLICY WITH WHICH THEY DISAGREE.

I wish I had a dime for everytime a conservative saw a commie under every bed, I can tell you that.

NeoCons used to be liberals and have always hated Russia. NeoCon NSA director, John Bolton for all his Trump/Putin butt kissing, still seems wary of them.
 
I'm old enough to remember when the Republicans worshiped the old GOD!

Their new God and savior is "Good Ole' Donnie".

Yep! They worship, tithe, and go to his sermons now!

I’m a long-term poster on a couple of sports sites with political sub forums. One is based on the Deep South (SEC football). Constant posting of random, fly-by-night crappy blogs and websites is a ubiquitous feature with the Trumpist GOP base. It really exploded under Obama, though. Hot Air, Conservative Treehouse, Ulstermann Report, etc make Fox and even Breitbart look credible. Check out the “Q” conspiracy if you want to travel down their latest rabbit hole.

Leftists still adore Russia and yearn for the days of the old USSR. Which currently, Russia isn't too far from being. Remember, it is the left who would impose their will on the rest of us if they could. Just like the KGB, Stasi, or Hitler's Gestopo. Make no mistake.
 
I'm so old I can remember a time when a president who cozied up to the Russian prime minister and alienated his allies while talking against NATO would have been called a Communist sympathizer.
 
I'm so old I remember when republicans cared about people who made less than 7 figures and didn't stop caring about children once they cleared the vagina.

Thread fail.

Liberals accused Republicans of seeing COMMUNISTS under every bed, because they WERE.
Joseph McCarthy, Birchers, Kefauver.

Thread fail, needs flushing, and that avatar of yours is an insult because it comes from FDR, someone you clearly hate.

I remember that too. Although this wasn't during the cold war when democrats accused Republicans of seeing Russians under the bed. It does show what Democrats thought of the Russians prior to Trump.

I think most of us forget that Putin was in charge of Russia from 2000-2008 before taking a four year break. then returning in 2012.

They got very weird after Clinton won. Before then, they were just obnoxious.

You and I are both old enough to remember when Infrastructure was the top priority under a Republican President; IKE of course. We’re also both old enough to remember when Republicans thought the EPA was a good thing under RMN.

Now, all we see is one bill in 1.5 years so far, windfall tax cuts as per Reagan, and trillion dollar deficits throughout #45. Inflation at a 7-year high, interest rates steadily increasing; my trump farmers-in-law getting trashed. Thanks AG SEC Sonny Perdue from your state.

Btw, in Iowa where I’m helping farm, they’ll be cutting back on dozens of rest areas at a time when there’s not enough OTR spaces now, and with truckers facing electronic log ins. This farm state flips faster than most other states, any state.

Good to finally hear from you. The family farm is a thing of the past. I was raised, grew up on a farm, some 120 acres. Now corporations own almost all the farm land around where I grew up. Thousands and thousands of acres. I'd welcome IKE back in a heartbeat. He still ranks number one president in my lifetime.

Just came in from brush for a towel down. And a Silver Bullet. Nothin like the sun setting now and clear nights. We’ll be getting a prime-time torch and start after heavy implements in metal 2.0. $$$ No wind now though, still humid, and the bugs.

There’s money in wood right now. Check the stocks. Homestead Act trees were just let go. Now I’m cleaning up my part. I’m intrigued by AG, as you can tell, as if it doesn’t have chem-is-try, physics, math, hard labor, skilled labor, and brains, farm manager brains.

This is my practice year. I learn fast, and have the capital for investing, after working a lifetime. I want to see my money work for the future generations on these farms. **** corporate farms who drove the little guys off.
