Expect more, not less of this. The natural impulse of a political system in institutional crisis is to dig in. Too many institutions in the West remain decades after their birth, frozen in the moment of their creation. NASA, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the university system and the United Nations rule us from the past. Public life has become a museum of memes from which nothing can escape without a mummy hand dragging the fugitive back into the darkened interior. It is perhaps no coincidence the two most popular leaders of the Western left, Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders, might credibly impersonate Boris Karloff. They are here to lead us back to 1968.
Speaking of Jeremy Corbyn …

Speaking of “appropriation” of other people’s things. Speaking of a return to 1968 radicalism. Speaking of overturning our capitalist economic system. Speaking of the politics of envy. Speaking of flooding our nations with TAKERS.
Don’t these people understand that Dr. Zhivago was a cautionary tale … as well as a Love Story. That seizing the good Doctors home for the Communist rabble … was NOT a good thing.
“Don’t these people understand that Dr. Zhivago was a cautionary tale …”. Exactly! My family went through that, and now it seems some want us to go through that again.
My opinion, for what it is worth, is that this all stems from the infiltration by the extreme left of our educational and media systems and many of the people are falling for the big socialist lie. This same lie has infected all of our political parties in various degrees as they no longer champion freedom of the individual but tout the collective. We may have to, as did the Russian people, discover for ourselves the fruits of the big utopian lie. Before this is over there will be jails and labour camps for dissenters.

fortunately, vlad the impaler has stepped up and offered
the #nevertrumpers the ultimate safe space…
“Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday
offered to give political asylum to former FBI
Director James Comey, poking at tensions
between Comey and President Trump.”
gotta wonder “wtf”… when ol’ vlad is suddenly the
happiest boy in the room.

The thing about corrupt Russia: If you have the money, you can buy safety. Money talks.
In the partisan uproar of Washington DC, -nobody- is safe. Trump and his family are probably in greater danger from their own security detail than from the nuts lining the White House fence.
they shed one religion, only to embrace another one. People join a “clan” and very quickly become part of that clan , and justify it’s existence, so to justify their own existence and membership of that clan. I’v said for years, it’s a US and THEM world, us being who we/they belong to, and them the rest of the world, who do not belong to that clan. People are believers, not thinker/doers, they want to be lead by some one so they don’t have to think.
I nominate the following people to be the next presidents of yhe US:
Richard Fernandez
Thomas Sowell
Victor Davis Hanson
The list goes longer, but these guys have always been very rational thinkers, and rarely off by a lot. Michelle Malkin would bring reason back to the public square too.
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is having starting June 17 a homage to the late sixties called You Say You Want a Revolution.

Kevin,
Sorry, Richard Fernandez does not qualify for President of the United States, even though he loves America and Western Civilization more than the entire complete Democrat Party. He was not born to US Citizens.
Bernie and Jeremy are more likely to take us back to 1938, than to 1968. Their idea of a fair and equitable economy is Venezuela. Read up about the ongoing disaster that is Venezuela. Our host has been watching it decline for years.
I was okay with 1968. I was twenty years old. In 1969, though, the gov. sent me to Viet-Nam. Total bummer, dude.
Education and politics and government healthcare. Three things that are ripe for disruption (aka uberization)
All three will in time…
In 1969, I, and a couple of my buddies gave up on the Canadian educational system and decided to join the US Navy. The recruiting station we went to was closed, however. The US Army station was not, and a sergeant approached us and asked what we were looking for. When he found out what we were trying to do, he unloaded on us big time, told us we were idiots, etc,etc, and to get the hexx back to Canada. A pivotal moment in my life I suppose.
Ken, the explanation can be found on one of Stefan Molyneux’s YouTube blogs If you go to YouTube search for Molyneux’s “r/K Selection Theory. r/K Selection Theory will explain why all of this happens and where it leads. Or, Google “r/K Selection Theory by Anonymous Capitalist”.
You can also Check out Bill Whittle on the same topic. I sometimes hesitate directing people to these sites because I fear they will go looking for a high bridge or tall building from which to jump! It’s rather distressing but it sums up why societies end up like lemmings all running in unison over the edge of the cliff when their population gets out of
control.
Well, they can lead some people back to ’68. I ain’t goin’. If there are some people whom want to go through puberty again well good luck, you failed the first time, I doubt you’ll get it right 2nd try.

The Republicans have not been fighting back against the Slim…Little Jeff did a better job before Congress…Those who would call him a traitor are not “REAL” Americans….I see a few bad people who are in the CIA & FBI, but most are loyal Americans
I think if we started “Naming” the worst slim, the lizards will climb back under a rock..
1. WAPO: Bernstein….low life lying POS, Pushed the Russian Story.. CIA connections… Will not be with us in 2018 unless he flees from cia
Thanks. I may have already seen their relevant videos. My comment was based on personal observation and the experiences of teacher friends decades ago.
All of this seems to be coming to a head in the US. Friendly baseball games will not arrest the tragic trend. Nancy Pelosi, the NYT and WaPo were already fueling the flames today.
Canada has already succumbed to the Frankfurt School.
