I don’t doubt what you say.

Hell, I’d even settle for the America of the 1970s and 80s. Just having America be America again is a dream...but 50 years of being force-fed Third World immigrants has put that hopelessly out of reach. That America—the great America—was the product of a particular demographic mix with a particular value system, both of which were intentionally extinguished.

Disneyland opening day, full ABC broadcast (B&W) with Art Linkletter. Ronald Reagan has a spot starting at 12:20.

Click Bait.

My mom knew Disney and he used to talk about how he was laughed at for wanting to build the thing. Where? ANAHEIM?? You crazy?? LOL.

Was just at Downtown Disney last night catching Pokemon. It’s still magical to me somehow.

I saw the movie after the fact, because I have always been interested in the current state of CGI and 3D technology.

Movie plot sucked (pillory the Evil Capitalists) and I laugh every time I see this, because it is SO spot on:

I had to put tape on my eyeballs to keep them from rolling back in my head watching the movie.

They used to be a family place.....

It just makes me sad - the America we grew up in is dead and gone. The common values, the civility, the civilization: all gone.

We went to Disneyland 2 years ago and left the hotel to get Del Taco. That was a mistake.

It reminded me of that movie Elysium, where all the white people live on a space station and the earth is one big 3rd world toilet. It was not safe. We were the only Americans that I could see. Everyone else was a hostile 3rd worlder.

Liberals did that. They must pay.

You’re right, Anaheim, where Disneyland is, is totally going to pot with third world immigrants. I have friends who live there, and people who visit them have to park on the street. It’s hit or miss whether their cars will still be there when it’s time to go home! My friends have nicknamed their town “Ana-crime.” It’s a rotten shame. Multiply that by thousands of formerly nice towns throughout the U.S.

Interesting - thanks for the back story!

From your lips to God’s ears. No, I mean it quite literally. I know you understand.

Love your screen name. Ain;t it the truth. We all are now. All of us.

Ouch!

Your depressing post has me running to the website “City Data” to check the demographics and crime rate of Anaheim today.

http://www.city-data.com/city/Anaheim-California.html

Demographics:

52% Hispanic
27% White
16% Asian
03% Black

Surprisingly though Anaheim does not have a peculiarly high crime rate. It is about 3/4ths the national average for overall crime. Still and all, this is NOT the nation I grew up in and NOT the one I hoped we would leave to future generations.

I really hope Ted Kennedy is roasting in Hell for what he did to this nation and her people. Dirty evil SOB.

Certainly !

Thanks. The Gadsden flag immediately came to mind when I was trying to come up with a handle back in the day...it sums up my general sentiment since the Clinton years. We are all being stepped on now, but there are indications that We the People are getting ready to bite. Cheers.
