And the TRUTH IS that it is the Liberals who are becoming Fascists. For so long many of the public has labored under the mis-conception that Fascist & Liberal (socialist, communist, etc.) were antithetical, opposing terms. Actually, if you read Mussolini on fascism (and he can be fairly said to be the father of European fascism, Fascism is derived from a latin/italian root) you will find out that everything our Democrats want fits perfectly within the definition of fascism! For the simple and plain-spoken purpose, Fascism = totalitarian statism. Just like it is the Democrats who are the real fascists, so too are they the real racists! But accusing the other side of being guilty of what you are actually doing is right out of the Communist International playbook.
Willy: Bingo!!! Like Queen Hillary said: Democrat voters are stupid and easily manipulated. If lies are repeated long enough, stupid people believe them. So, you are an escapee from Portland, too. We lived in West Linn. Check out my recent article: "Fleeing The Madness." Where did you move? Diane
Clatsop Co., which is colored "purple" on the voting maps but we find our neighbors to be sensible conservative people. Had to keep a condo in metro due to many grandkids there + a lot of our medical resources.. But the condo is in Clackamas Co.. Born & raised in Portland, educated in PPS & UofO, but I will never own property in Mult. Co. again! And I'm not that bullish on Clackamas either truth to tell. But we had to keep a lifeline to the metro area because grandma insists we spend the holidays, soccer tournaments, etc., etc. with the grandkids and we're too old to be round-tripping it from the Coast in one day! I'm almost ashamed to say that my Dad, in the 1930s, was pres. of the Young Democrats of Oregon and actually ran (unsuccessfully) for Congress in '37 or '38. But I can tell you that he wouldn't recognize his old party if he came back today!! He was a patriotic Democrat of the type that doesn't exist any longer! Michael Savage was right: Liberalism is a mental disorder! I suspect that it is caused by urban crowding! Seriously! Great blog!
Willy: Good morning! We are practically neighbors! When the last straw broke (2020 riots wherein the police WE PAID TO PROTECT US stood by & watched) we moved to our vacation home in Oysterville, WA. Then we sold our house in West Linn, bought a summer home in the gorgeous Black Hills of South Dakota. We are very fond of our beach neighbors on our private easement road, all Conservatives but one. The Liberal isn't as nasty & pushy as she was 15-20 years ago. We noticed a BIG difference between Portland/West Linn Libs and Long Beach Peninsula Libs. The former are nasty, bitter bullies around whom we were forever "walking on eggshells." The latter are merely delusional, but otherwise pleasant to be around. Indeed, a BLM thug tried to start a riot in downtown LB, no locals were interested so she literally bussed in thugs from Longview. Still, not enough of them to create a riot. Ha! When we built our WL home in 1988 and bought our beach acres in 1994 it didn't occur to us that, eventually, both places would be in Marxist states. Like Brown, my law school classmate, Inslee is VERY QUICKLY turning Washington State into a cesspool. When it gets bad enough, we will escape again: to the Free State of South Dakota. Diane
Oysterville is a special place! One of those rare spots that transports you back to an earlier time. And the old graveyard is full of friendly ghosts for sure! At one time I had a close acquaintance with Dale Espy Little, sister of Willard who wrote "Oysterville", and her husband Bill I visited her a few times up there after her husband passed on, but the last time I checked in, she was in nursing care and not doing well. So I imagine she's gone now. Used to make an oyster dinner pilgrimage to the Ark at least once or twice a year, but I haven't been up there much since it closed, which has been a long time now I guess! (time passes very quickly when you get to be in your 80's!)
Jailing anyone who disagrees with the Biden admin. is closer than we think. That admin. has managed to bastardize an entire political party of Republicans and conservatives because we won’t drink the Koolaid. This is an outrage. We were a fair and just society many years ago, governed by the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Ten Commandments; now their spin is shameful and demeaning to our great nation.
