The voters will not vote out the Marxists Liberals. Instead, each election more Gen Zers will become eligible to vote. And they will elect more Marxists Liberals and worse. This election, in Florida, the Gen Zers elected Maxwell Frost. Next election, as more Gen Zers become eligible to vote by reaching the age of 18 years old, They will elect at least one more of the ilk of Maxwell Frost. Each year more of them reach the voting age. Each year because of death, they are fewer of us.

based at Norton AFB in San Bernadino

I'd drive to Norton from the coast on weekends to pick my brother up for leave back in 1970. It was a respectable place, San Ber'doo. I remember a freeway to freeway transition ramp that must have been a good 80 feet above ground, and one time the old pickup with bald tires I was driving hydroplaned in a pouring rain. Scary.

The big event in town for the year was the "Orange Show". A century ago I think it was a Mormon enclave. I think nearby Loma Linda still is an enclave for Seventh Day Adventists.

Yes, ignorance and apathy may turn out to spell the end of the Republic.

Sad

Many blacks actually place a major emphasis on the pigmentation of their skin.......believing lighter skinned blacks are somehow superior to darker skinned blacks.

I’ve experienced that first hand on more than one occasion.

Garrett Morris: [ interrupting ] Well, I think I understand the problem with the tests. But the fact is that people have been saying that white people are smarter than black for hundreds of years. We’ve only had I.Q. tests for 20 or 30 years. How did the idea of white intellectual superiority originate?

Julian Bond: That’s an interesting point. My theory is that it’s based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.

Garrett Morris: [ not sure he heard that right ] Say what?

Julian Bond: I said I think it might have grown out of the observation that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.

Garrett Morris: I don’t get it.

Julian Bond: It’s got nothing to do with having white blood. It’s just that descendants of the lighter-skinned African tribes are more intelligent than the descendants of the darker-skinned tribes. Everybody knows that.

Garrett Morris: This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

Julian Bond: Seriously? It was proven a long time ago.

Garrett Morris: Well, I still don’t quite understand. We’re out of time right now, but perhaps you could come back on the show again and explain it further.

Julian Bond: There’s very little to explain – it’s just like I told you.

Garrett Morris: Well, we are out of time. Good night. [ to Julian ] If you could repeat it just once more…

From 2014:

“Appearing as myself on a mock television interview show about black issues, I told Garrett Morris, one of SNL‘s original “Not Ready for Prime Time Players,” that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks. Morris, who is darker skinned than I am, did a perfect double take. I felt squeamish then but did the skit anyway, and I feel uneasy about this joke even today. I believed it treaded dangerously on the fine line between comedy and poor taste.”

I thought it was hilarious

You know Julian was totally on board with it at the time.

Just like Chris Rock when he did his “Blacks vs N_____s” routine. But of course, if one wants to continue to work, you have to ‘get your mind right’.

This one was certainly edgier that Bond and Morris. I saw it live and I don’t recall much being said about it......and also hilarious.

That was also a classic.

They would never get away with that stuff today.

Wow. We lived in Mira Mesa for a year. Early 80s.

I moved in on Dec 9, 1983. The purchase was done in August, but the owners needed time to line up their next home. I assumed a 13.25% loan that had been co-signed by the owner's parents. That slowed the process as well. By August 1985, I refinanced that loan to a 15 year, 10%. The house was on Handel Way.

Definitely could not.

I saw an ad on my streaming service for the All in the Family sitcom......I was pretty stunned that would be allowed to air considering some of the subject matter.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

We were almost there nearly the same time. We moved into an apartment north of Mira Mesa in Dec 82. Then to Mission Gorge, Del Cerro, and Tierra Santa, finally buying a house in Oceanside.
