I was a senior in high school in the late 60's when Lobsinger was making waves in the city of Detroit. I wasn't sure what he was all about back then other than he was always involved in some sort of protest.

Now that I'm old and wiser and a vet, everything he was fighting against back then is what we are fighting once again but the enemy has gotten bolder and much, much stronger.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Things change but people don’t change much. There is still a battle between good and evil, wisdom and ignorance, independence and greed.

I remember he ran for Congress a few years back against Commie David Bonior. I didn’t know much about him until then.

I worked with his nephew for a short time.

I remember he ran for Congress a few years back against Commie David Bonior.

Even tho Macomb County was strong GOP, Bonior had a lock on his district, which is where I lived.

It wasn't until the district was redistricted to included a Republican stronghold that he knew he couldn't win so he ran for governor.

Make sure you read the interview at the link I posted, it's fascinating......

The interview at the link makes it very clear how much the Left controlled the Media, or the Media controlled the Left, as far back as the 1960’s.

One of those names that rings a bell from back then. Like those from the other side. Mel Ravitz. Justin Ravitz. Lou Gordon (met his daughter a few years ago). I was a teenager. A lot of it is a blur now. My first presidential election I was able to vote in, I pulled the lever for Jerry Ford (disappointed that Reagan didn’t win the primary).

Lou Gordon (met his daughter a few years ago)

Wow, there's another name from the past. Dad was a Detroit police officer and he was a fan of Lou Gordon. As for me, I was only about 16 or 17 and couldn't care less.

I don't remember what dad's views of Lobsinger were but dad was active LEO during those tumultuous days. He was a Sgt. in the Tactical Mobile Units (TMU's) and absolutely hated Soulman Young who also hated the Detroit Police and if you recall, Young disbanded the highly successful STRESS units claiming they were racists.......
