I love reading History. I find it more fascinating than most fiction. Although a registered Independent voter, my political and social views lean to a conservative outlook. Both major political parties are, in my opinion, totally bankrupt in ideals and intent. Both pull too far in their respective direction, and all have sold themselves to the highest bidders. A New England Yankee, I have great admiration for the founders of our nation. The early ones, Washington, Adams Jefferson and others put their lives on the line. Add Madison, Franklin and more. We are most fortunate that our Revolution/Rebellion was organized and led by educated, enlightened men (not to forget Abigail and some other uncelebrated women) who thought far into the future, and it took other men like Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR to maintain the hopes & dreams of millions. France's Revolution started well, but was taken over by lesser men, and fell into the Reign of Terror, and the Guillotine. Russia suffered Lenin & Trotsky. We were luckier! I cannot get through the day without reading the Comics. Regular comics first, then the Political 'toons. Unemployed for 35 months, I finally landed a good position with a good company! However, now I have less time to comment, (a relief to some) and less time to read other comments. Just typing out my gripes & diatribes gives me a feeling of being a little less helpless, and I feel better having said it. Sometimes I goof. I do like reading other comments: occasionally I learn something.

    Similar to the TV screen, there is something about these little hand-held gizmos that somehow command one’s attention, and have an air of authority. If one reads it on screen, then it MUST be true! (21st century Pandora’s box)

    One of the worst mistakes this country ever made was to go back on FDR’s word (not legally binding) and support the UN resolution establishing the state of Israel, arming Israel and giving billions in aid annually ever since.

    I voted for Ross Perot. After I voted early that morning (In Mass.), I drove to northern Maine, arrived in a motel late that night, and crashed. To sleep, that is. When I awoke the next morning, I was disappointed Perot did not win, but was relieved to hear Clinton was in. Just a pretty boy who wanted to be president, but I could not bear another 4 years of republican rule.

    There are a lot of great things in Massachusetts. But having read the papers every day and see the news often, plus a few shenanigans I have witness personally, the Democratic leadership in this state practice a high degree of corruption and push the democratic agenda a bit too far for the taste of many of us taxpayers. I am not surprised that many others around the country have a low opinion of us.

    Come January, Duke and his assistant former-dictator will probably become trump’s Chief-of-Staff. (And Duke will make a killing charging for meetings with the President.)

    You can toss the Beacon Hill crowd of Massachusetts into the top (lowest?) ten. They give the Democrats a bad name.

    In my lifetime, I always voted for whom I considered the least undesirable presidential candidate. And will do so again come November. No different this time, but my choice is so obvious, I have no doubt that he will be the LEAST undesirable. (as opposed to the most deplorable)
