Welcome to the American Spring (vanity)
Vanity

Posted on 02/11/2016 4:59:04 AM PST by TigerClaws

New media created revolutions in the Middle East. Now both political parties in the U. S. are being rocked by uprisings. Cruz/Trunp from the right. Sanders from the left.

The elites once controlled the narrative by controlling the news. The internet created a true democracy of ideas and information. Old media (magazines newspapers and networks) fight to stay relevant. They can't control a public wise to them.

Let the American Spring continue. Better fought at the ballot box than on the streets.

It’s the Triumph of the Boomers.

Archie Bunker was right about us.

Boomers still protesting?

People are tired of the same old s-—.

The Generation X, Millenials and whatever seem to be more Left oriented though.

The mediots are not going to give up easily. They will fight tooth and nail as evidenced by their hugs of Bernie and Hillary and their outright hatred of Trump and Cruz.

Everyone's more stupid when they're young.

“Cruz/Trunp from the right. Sanders from the left.”

Cruz and Trump are patriots running against the corrupt Washington establishment.

Senator Sanders is a long time member of the corrupt Washington establishment.

Sanders is not a voice for change. He is not independent. He is not an outsider.

Sanders has been a Washington insider and office holder since 1990. He is in favor of all the current policies of the Obama administration. He is in favor of the corrupt status quo in Washington.

As a member of the Senate Committee on Veteran's Affairs, Sanders was responsible for protecting the corrupt bureaucrats who were denying veterans decent health care.

Sanders has defended government corruption, incompetence and fiscal irresponsibility throughout his career. He works closely with the Obama administration and the Democrat power brokers and inside players.

All of Sanders proposals involve expanding the size and scope of the Federal government. They all involve giving more money and power to bureaucrats in Washington and taking away the freedom, opportunity of ordinary Americans.

All of Sanders proposals involve confiscating enormous amounts of the income and savings of ordinary Americans. All of Sanders proposals greatly increase the already unsustainable deficits run up by the Obama administration.

Thanks for that info on Sanders. I wish we had more of that, going after the real villains, rather than the frequent circular firing squads.

Yes, but even they recognize that something is wrong.

$crew the Trump Haters/GOPe pundits owned by the Open Borders Elite.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollsters and focus groups, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.
