20/20 Gonzo 50: Several Elegant Evenings

  

Grateful the Democratic Party was busted by Eisenhower in the 50s and Civil Rights legislation became the law of the land.  Those Democrats were stubborn in their convictions, unsurprisingly ignorant, and without soul.  Similar to the Democrats a century prior, fighting Lincoln and the Republicans to break the Union and create their Confederate nirvana.  What the modern day Democrats see in Communism, I do not know, but it continues a pattern of taking indefensible and dumb positions.  Although the modern Democrats have lost most intellectual credibility, it's hard to believe they had any left to lose.  

In 1878, Senator Aaron A. Sargent. (R-CA) initiated a proposal that eventually gave American women of age the right to vote.  However, it took over 40 years to overcome the Democrat's feisty opposition when they gave up their filibuster and the 19th Amendment, the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, was finally ratified in 1920.  Then a decade of roaring, followed by a decade of depressing, followed by Rosie The Riveter literally building our World War II war machine.  A war machine that helped eliminate the most barbaric evil of the day, saving all of Europe and Asia from certain doom.  But unfortunately, doom descended anyways, as it will, called communism, it's really about cash money, seizure of wealth, cash money, greed, and cash money.

The classless of all classless has gathered together for several elegant evenings of pre-taped telethon segments.  Wandering around in empty buildings, pointing at nothing, insulting our country, it's leaders, most of it's people, and our intelligence.  We see your slather, we know things, we can detect your smell through the screens, despite the editing, that same sour, dour, cynical froth common among the classless, tasteless, and humorless.  Go ahead, pile on, cancel Thanksgiving for sure, Christmas is for fools, give us three extra paid Labor Days instead, screw Eisenhower, Suzi B was overrated.  At least Jerry Lewis made us laugh and money was raised to fight a specific health hazard, his telethons were so much better.
