You know, maybe we deserve Joe Biden.

When I was a high school freshman in 1961 I was in the advanced class, so I was forced to read George Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984. As a sophomore the boredom continued with Animal Farm. Why, I asked myself, do they make us read this stuff? Ministry of Truth? Some animals are more equal than others? What kind of absurd manure are they forcing on us? None of this could ever happen! What a waste of time, Blah, blah, blah!

Well, now we have Joe Biden, and I am not reading these novels, I am living them. Some of the other classes got to read a Tale of Two Cities. Not ours, we got Brave New World when I was a junior. Huxley was just as futuristically precocious as Orwell-Watch a cognitively denuded television commercial and you will see that Huxley and Orwell are faces on opposite sides of the same coin. I missed the genius of these modern seers of course; their warnings went over my head like a cloud on a mostly sunny day.

When Orwell published his masterpiece in 1949 only about six percent of Americans had a TV set. Yet he accurately predicted the screens that watch the people as much as the people watch the screens. Huxley authentically forecasted the rise of the televised advertising industry and its influence in spreading vacuousness from coast to coast.

My laziness and probably yours are now reaping the whirlwind of Black Lives Matter and Critical Race Theory. Doublespeak and newspeak are as ubiquitous in public discourse as the alphabet is in a first-grade classroom. Defund the police? The police are the criminals, and the criminals are the victims. War is good and not bombing distant countries with primitive, medieval, and poverty-stricken populations is bad.

And of course, rewriting history is job one in our illustrious system of education. Indoctrination of a captive audience of cultural orphans wired on Adderall, Ritalin, and micro doses of LSD because they are afflicted with politically correct maladies like attention deficit disorder and behavioral defiant personality traits. Government encouraged improvident parenting leaves storefronts boarded and businesses burned to the ground while opioids destroy an entire generation.

Google, Facebook, Twitter, along with corrupted print and screen media censor any voices that challenge today’s Ministry of Truth. Perhaps you and I deserve Joe Biden. We should have paid more attention in school.
If you posted that on Twitter you'd have your account locked, Ray! Such views are "dangerous"!

I remember back in the 60's when the Left fought for freedom of speech and against censorship! Now the Left demands "safe spaces" and thinks that dissenting opinions shouldn't be argued against but be kept from being heard all together!

I remember back in the 60's when the Left fought for freedom of speech and against censorship!


Sorry, you are wrong...they did not fight for freedom of speech and against censorship.........they fought to be the ones in control of speech and censorship.......they were not noble in anyway....they did not care about freedom.....

I suspect, at this late hour, Ray that no amount of attention payed to those great and early science fiction masters could have saved our civilization. The concept of life imitating art really did not sink in until what? The 1970's? But let's forget for a moment about ships that never passed at all in the night. The real and present problem, in my opinion, with modern Americans at this very moment is their lack of willingness to no-shit actually fight the forces of evil and darkness which have overshadowed their nation and are stealing their rights and freedoms. At this point in time it seems to me like nothing much else matters. Once upon a time our young and brave men were eager and unafraid to go to war against the likes of the Nazis and other monsters. But now? Now the concept of actually using violence to save Madame Blue is lost and drained down into the dirt. And so the book closes on America Chapter: THE END.
I believe when it gets to the point when no food is on the table, that will be the turning point-and that is not far off.


Nope......by then it will be too late......just ask Cubans, or Venezuelans......they dig through garbage for food, and the socialists are still in control.

Don't blame me, I voted for Trump.

I like to think that too, but apparently someone changed my vote to Biden when I wasn't looking. :mad-61:

No nation deserves a leader like Biden.

But, the people of the United States had committed no offense so severe so as to deserve the a$$hole trump.

Biden ain't much, but he's a he11 of an improvement over the RWNJs' choice that American's suffered through for the past four years.

That's bullshit.

This is a clip, from the movie biopic, "Lenny," on the life of Lenny Bruce, played by Dustin Hoffman. Most movies you can just view from YouTube, you'll have to order this one through Amazon though. . . :heehee:


. . . and of course, the original of this clip, is always taken down. And this clip always gets taken down too. Because the elites don't like to be reminded that the left, USED to actually be liberal.

Now? It is about fascism, divide and conquer, and racial politics.

It didn't used to be that way though, it used to be about consciousness liberation for the left.

So you on the left have given us Joe "ain't much" Biden when you had four years to come up with a good candidate? We're supposed to deal with that idiot just because you didn't like Trump? Seriously? The country is suffering from a pandemic that's bankrupted tens of thousands of Americans and has millions more teetering on the edge of bankruptcy but you want us to trust the dumbest man in the Senate for the past forty years to "fix" things?

1984? Our beautiful First Lady Nancy Reagan was pushing her "just say no" campaign to influence America's youth from frittering a life of uselessness away with drugs. I think she kicked it off in 1982 and was still encouraging American youths to say no to drugs through 1986. She took on the drug cartels and made a dent.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to hear that the present administration is taking personal kickbacks from the drug cartels. Easy money has been Biden's self-serving goal for 47 years, and his bragging about it on you tube was over the top when he was bragging about getting a billion dollar bonanza from the Ukraine that was in transition when he gave them 6 hours to deliver his billion in Cash to Air Force II. That video no longer is available on you tube. Wonder why. /not.
