Buzzy Lands for Breakfast

Good Morning, Breakfastpoppers. Today is Wednesday, August 19, 2015. Our dear friend Buzzy, the Proverbial Fly on the Wall, is at the breakfast table this morning. Buzzy has been zipping around following Socialist candidate, Berne Sanders, on the campaign trail. Judging from the large crowds Sanders is garnering, Buzzy fears for America. Please join us for breakfast this morning. Buzzy has prepared breakfast pizzas and lattes for your enjoyment. We hope to see you soon

The Democratic Party is Dead

Thank you all for coming to the breakfast table this morning. The Democratic Party of your father's era died a slow agonizing death. In its place, the Socialist party has blossomed. Clearly, judging from the welcome Bernie Sanders is getting, either Americans want Socialism or they don't understand what is going on. Either way, we are in trouble. Clinton is right in there with Bernie. The only difference between them is that Sanders admits he's a Socialist and Clinton admits nothing about anything. She is a far left radical wing-nut who wants to take this country in the same ugly direction as Obama. We have good reason to worry that way too many Americans are willing to ignore the Constitution and give up their freedoms in the hope that a candidate like Sanders will give them what they think they deserve. They thrill to his promises of robbing the rich to make the masses wealthier. So what if their precious liberty is trashed along the way. Sanders followers and Clinton's as well are lazy and ill-informed. They don't have a clue about life in a Socialist country. Sanders loves big government and his followers seem to be embracing his message. He is fond of EPA control, United Nations control, high and higher taxes, amnesty for illegal aliens, Obamacare and so much more. His adoring crowds are either brain dead or hard core Socialists. The idea of living in a country like Greece appeals to them. Bernie Sanders is their guy.

Ignorance is Not Bliss

I can only assume that Bernie's fans are also fans of Karl Marx, Stalin and every other totalitarian lunatic that ever existed. Perhaps they are anxious to give up control of their lives to a big strong government that will track and direct every moment of their lives from cradle to grave. Never mind that Socialist regimes always fail. Never mind that Socialist regimes bring misery to everyone under their control. President Obama started this mess and if Sanders wins the nomination, the long national nightmare will continue unchecked. The same is true for Clinton. The Democrats are Socialists in better fitting clothes. Those hypnotized citizens who love the idea of Big Daddy caring for them need to be re-programed. If not, they need to pack up and move elsewhere. There is nothing like a first-hand experience to raise awareness.

Time to Wake Up

Greece is the perfect example of the failure of Socialism and of what happens when people with their hands out run out of other people's money. This is going to be Greece's third bailout in five years. The people of Greece were so used to being taken care of that hey refused to comprehend that the free ride was over. Now they are going to have to learn the hard way that difficult choices have to be made if they are to survive. We will face the same difficult decisions if a Bernie Sanders gets the White House. He will redistribute the wealth and turn the U.S. into a sad third world country. He will knowingly complete Obama's dream. The same will be true of Hillary who is a far left radical unwilling to come out of the closet as a Socialist. President Obama has changed America and I, for one, am saddened by its demise. American voters are either not paying attention to events in this country and around the world, or they simply don't give a damn. Just imagine the horrors that take place when people don't care. One day, if we are not careful, we will wake up in an America that is totally unrecognizable. The dismantling of our cherished way of life is already taking place. Traditional marriage is under attack, religion is under siege, the rich are being vilified, the Constitution is being ignored and trashed, freedom of speech is dying and political correctness is destroying our ability to speak clearly without retaliation. All of this has to stop now. An ineffectual and crippled Congress allowed the damage to be done during the Obama years. Our only hope is to put people in office who really do love this nation. It really is now or never.

Buzzy's Song

Fly me to the moon

And let me live where I am free

Things are so ugly now

We may be up a tree!
