Thread on American Common Sense that prevails. My 83 year old father speaks. Wise words to keep us hopeful and balanced in the face of sometimes discouraging events.
1) I remember my father ranting about how Franklin Roosevelt was “destroying America”. The 1930’s were replete with far left labor driven riots. World War II was the event that stopped this nonsense. Roosevelt had no choice but turn to the private sector (Rosie Riveter) to win
2)the War. In order to win a 4th term, Roosevelt had to select Truman as his running mate – a moderate Democrat from the mid-west. Roosevelt died – Truman (with a lot of Trump’s no nonsense jargon) took us back to center left.

4)George McGovern - a way out wacko socialist whom Nixon defeated in a landslide – his 2nd term in 1972. Dukakis – a Massachusetts far left liberal whom Bush #1 defeated in 1988.
5)Obama was the first far left socialist since Roosevelt to figure out how to gain power. He ran as a moderate – portraying himself as a non-racist black appealing to Republican white guilt. He empowered the far left for the first time since Roosevelt allowing them to take over
6)the Democrat Party - giving them a very loud voice in the main stream media, 24 x7 cable news and social media – exposing them for who they really are – really noisy wackos who have no faith in the goodness of America.
7)It is very important to focus on the good news in all in all of this -- 1) Since 1944 - up until 2008, the only Democrats who have won - ran as moderates and governed as moderates. 2) It only took 8 years with a socialist in power for “we the people” to decide
8)stop the utter nonsense of socialist driven identity politics and clear out the Obama swamp rats who among other damage, have created a huge divide in our Country. Trump’s election denied them continuing power to which they believed they were entitled. End
9)driving them literally crazy – relegating them to go back to their stupid stuff – ranting and rioting -- which based on a review of history, will not do permanent damage to America.
