Already got one, craig, a small enamelled red flag, presented in Moscow in 1966, straight off the lapel of a Soviet film director. To make Ken's day, also a few days after I was born, a tiny sterling silver hammer and sickle necklace from the secretary of the Communist Party of Canada, and the middle name Lenin from my mom and dad. Reckon you'll be honoured similarly by The Tea Party?

Probably not. But, you should realize, that, for the rest of us, the previous mid term elections and the last one have completely dismantled the democrat party, both at the state and federal levels, and, perhaps more importantly, at the local level. We have never seen anything like this in our entire lives. Democrats and their party and their ideas are completely gone from the landscape. It is really quite unprecedented. The honor is right there, and I can think of none higher for me, to live in a country that has completely rejected the corruption, and foolishness of the last president and his hacks.
Best, Ted

I'm always fascinated when King pivots. Old Misfire's hands are used to this, whenever his totalitarianism is pummeled into the dust he pivots, becoming the "kinder, gentler" King. Here's quick list of words and terms King used (or referred to) earlier in the thread, before he made himself the target of derision and decided to pivot.
Regression, Punk's Game, Bigot, Mysoginist, Racist, Moron, Punish his Enemies, Ignorance, Poisonous, Vile, Discrimination, Predatory, Boorish, Demeaning, Hatred.
All these wonderful terms were applied to Trump and/or his supporters, as well to other large parts of American society. This, of course, is what King really believes about America, his hatred for our founding principles, and the exercise in freedom that was the last election.
Once a sociopathic, totalitarian Red, always one. His tactic now is to lie and obfuscate. Now is when he's the most contemptible, since he's not being honest.
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

....Reckon you'll be honoured similarly by The Tea Party? Durn, you make it sound like a war trophy. Deep breath, peace-n-humanity, it's all good, 'cept for Trump. You have me curious though, I'll have to check if the Tea Party has a film dept. This is important, when you dig through that gumdrop jar, don't leave the black ones behind.

Sure about Moron? I wouldn't have capitalized it. It was a prohibited word for my children.
I have no hatred of founding principles, more like disappointment of ignorance of them, as if forgetting or not knowing them is a neutral act. Talk of freedom and liberty in early going but talk of representation, parties was their any?
While Americans themselves are not that all approving of the new president, they finally rebelled against what I always advocated here: stop voting against your interests in a punk's game.
Finally disgusted by political manipulation and unrelenting kicking by elites, pushed down to widen the inequality gap and please the five per cent, they finally stormed the barricades for freedom.
I rejoice in it. It's messy. Birthing as an "exercise in freedom" is always a messy thing.

Corruption is endemic of all systems, as it will be with the new one. Christ himself couldn't change it. The pieces of silver. Dismantling the party is the best thing that could have happened in place of more of the same.
