Sometimes I like to just get away from politics such as will happen when I go on my Caribbean cruise sans internet connection in a few weeks. Such was also the case when I clicked on a video about how Andy Griffith's hometown of Mt. Airy, North Carolina, reinvented itself into the fictional Mayberry which aired last year on CBS Sunday Morning. Although I expected a nice nostalgic trip down memory lane, Ted Koppel ruined it with his absurdly misplaced obsession with President Donald Trump. Yes, Ted, you definitely suffer from TDS but why do you insist on displaying the symptoms of that ailment in situations where it is completely inappropriate?
PING!
And yet many of the people involved in the show were already radical lefties. Why did they accept conventional society back then but not now? How long has this whole mess been in the works?
I thought he was dead...................
Today’s Democrat Party is not their Democrat Party...............
Are you kidding? Andy Griffith was (and Ron Howard is) a screaming lefty, "Gomer" was homosexual, etc.
This insane upside down world we live in was not created by newcomers. It was created by the same elites who have governed us all along.
What happened to them???
The McGovernites took over the Democrat Party in 1972. It has gone further and further leftwards faster and faster since then...............................
Andy and Opie (and Harvard and Yale) were leftist before George McGovern! This country (and "western civilization") are being destroyed by the very people who created and have always governed them, not by any "newcomers!"
At the time the show first aired, none of them were particularly political. I mean Ron Howard was like what? Six years old? At that age the only party that interested me was the birthday party.
Opie was a pre-teen leftist? Get a reality check. Yes, the ADULT Ron Howard is a liberal but that is not retroactive.
It was always the objective of the World Communist Party to take over the Education systems FIRST then patiently await the fruits of their labors, which is now.
The harvest is just beginning..................
The point is that today's "radical left" and yesterday's mainstream "liberals" are exactly the same people! If old FDR were still around today he'd be wheeling his chair at the head of a demonstration for bestiality. The same goes for Hubert Humphrey and Adlai Stevenson.
Wow. What a single-issue dumbass. Glad he was put in his place by those people.
The harvest is just beginning..................
"World Communist Party!" This isn't Communism. Communist countries have never engaged in the sexual dysphoria and insanity that our western elites glory in. If anything it is the depraved western elites that are using the Communists and not vice versa!
The Communists knew what the West’s weakness is: immorality.
They exploit it. They are very successful at it..............
The main thing to remember about most.. possibly all..leftists..IS..
They are not really for communism per SE or the most benefits for the most people.. as much as they are for themselves.
They see themselves enjoying all the benefits while the peasants do all the actual work..and do most of the suffering.
Sure they TALK about lofty things..A LOT...or at least they use to.
Ted Koppel is still alive?!!?? Who knew?
The real question is...is his hairpiece still alive?
He’s dead to me.
