WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

When I consider the foolish, naive things I did and believed as a young person, considering Cronkite to have been fair and down-the middle is right at the top of the list. He was nothing more than a pioneer for subverting what little bit of integrity the field of journalism might have once enjoyed. Nothing more than a foot soldier for advancing the agit/prop that so poorly masquerades as “journalism” today. Yeah, good ole Uncle Walter. *spit*
“He [Cronkite] was nothing more than a pioneer for subverting what little bit of integrity the field of journalism might have once enjoyed.”
Walter Duranty beat him to it.
I accelerated my turn right-wards upon learning that Uncle Walt lied about Vietnam.
And then discovering that he wasn’t the only one.
In re “Back of the Bus” — I suffered a brief infatuation with the left in college; the black anti-war armbands I wore in HS were inexplicable to my folks, who tolerated them anyway.
Walter Duranty beat him to it.++++++++
Yeah, that’s the thing about the Left and so-called progressives. They have this irrational enthrallment with iron-fisted, functionally insane, tyrants who think nothing of using food as a weapon. Engineered mass-starvation conducted by Stalin in which millions were murdered and survivors resorted to cannibalism? Never happened according to Duranty and the NYT ( I understand that the Times never bothered to return the Pulitzer it was given for that fraud Duranty’s “reportage”).
And speaking of food being used as a weapon: look who wants to be President someday. Pretty sure freshman congress critter Bugsy would be totes cool with it, too.

I remember Walter Commiecrite. He was practically worshiped by average Americans who had no idea what a treasonous monster he really was.
