Docp,
Not bitter at all. Just stating my opinion, under the 1st Amendment.
You know, "free speech"?
IMHO,
The Dems are no better than the Repugs! They BOTH, want it ALL for
themselves! Think the American Public is stupid and recruit people
like you, to do their dirty work, FOR, them!
I think Nancy Pelosi is a fraud and a sham, talks big, but is in bed
WITH the Republicans! She's a millionaire and has no intention of
sharing anything with us and you're RIGHT about them giving "just
enough", to give Americans, the sense, that THEY, the DEMS are better
than the Repugs. NEITHER are good for the US! War feeds their greedy
pockets, while young men and women, from small towns all across the US
fight their wars and die for nothing!
Not anti-military, but Americans shouldn't get into wars to defend one
despot over another. They're ALL crooked, ruling over fiefdoms, just
like in the Middle Ages. Please read Early European History. MOST
wars are fought over religion! We are supposed to be tolerant, which
is the basis for creating this "so-called" Democracy.
Ask yourself why early patriots "dressed up" as Indians, in the Boston
Tea Party? So as NOT being recognized and being charged with treason.
What they did was a treasonous act! I have a ton of books on how
this nation was established. Mostly out of print books, beautifully
bound!
This country is not living up to its promise; "Freedom and Justice For
ALL"! Bitter? No! Disappointed? Yes, because I believed everything,
grownups said, when I was growing up. Have things changed? Some, but
politicians who are against everyone enjoying American Freedom, only
want it for themselves and they keep the poor at each other throats,
while they fill their pockets with wealth, that should be fixing a
crumbling infrastructure.
No child should go to bed hungry. No veteran should be homeless.
When precious jobs go overseas, WE lose! I may be the in the last
generation that works for a company 25 years and receive a pension, if
I'm lucky and I'm one of the few! We have had politicians, who preach
one thing and espouse another, behind close doors. Strom Thurmond,
comes to mind. A staunch racist, he had a brown baby with a woman who
worked for his family. She was 16, he 21. Today, he'd be charged
with statutory rape. It wasn't revealed until after his death. The
woman, is about 80, now. Just one example and he was a Democrat, when
Democrats were mostly southern and white men.
We're in this group fighting, instead of coming together, for good.
Asbury Park's history is either lost, stolen, (see the
Palace/Casino/Movie Houses/Entertainment-see Wonder Bar), or strayed,
all going to "hell in a hand-basket", while the people elected to
"fix" Asbury Park, has SOLD her, down the river! Sad? You bet, when
you can't hear the opinion of a free thinker, on a local radio show,
or "do the circuit" anymore. A town without pity, for its' lessers
and wonder why gangs proliferate and shootings are commonplace. Low
expectations and no future!
A town that has beautiful schools, but can't funnel the funds where
they're supposed to put it, because of fiscal mismanagement, (pass
boards), and a board with no home, of its own, to plan the education,
of its' precious resources; its' children and seniors, wandering from
place, to temporary place! You can't get a job here, unless you own
the business, because City Hall jobs are "locked down", for its' own
citizens, but open for everyone from "out of town"! I can get a job
here, if I cut or style hair, wait tables or work for minimum wages.
A solid citizen gets sent to jail, for no other reason than not
"fixing" something, when he has the papers in his hands, to do just
THAT! I'm glad though, we have good lawyers here, who really help
people! A sad commentary on a city with so much promise, but not for me.
This is not only Asbury Park, but everywhere you look; Long Branch,
Neptune and Freehold, for starters.
