TED CRUZ GOES ROGUE AT THE GOP CONVENTION
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks DD ~ My message to the USA is WAKE UP and DUMP TRUMP. Middle class America is too greedy ~ too possessive and like Trump is homophobic ~ racist and anti-Mexican and swallows his bait. My message to all decent Republicans (and I know many) don't just abstain but ~ VOTE HILLARY ! She is running a decent campaign - she's only ben married once and she is a Politician not just a Business Opportunist ! I know not everyone love Hillary but compared to TRUMP she looks like MOTHER THERESA ! So please America don't just DUMP TRUMP embrace HILLARY and give her a LANDSLIDE ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

FOR AMERICA, AND THE WORLD: \"BREXIT\" IS OFFICIALLY A THING
Tropicana said:
this is true! Britain leaving the eu has created a domino effect of others being against immigration and it's made the hate more acceptable. i'm gutted by the results, big mistakes were made and it feels like things are going backwards

FOR AMERICA, AND THE WORLD: \"BREXIT\" IS OFFICIALLY A THING
DubbleDhee said:
Thanks for the update Brian! It's all relative. People here in the US have the very same complaints about immigration the Brits have in your country. They feel crowded out too. Their anger is pointed mainly at Latinos (Mexicans especially) and Muslims. Other immigrants (Asians, East Indians, et al) seem to get a pass somehow. Trump resonates with the growing anti-immigrant resentment some people have and he has given voice to their anger. His campaign has recently started to flounder and BREXIT is a political gift that fell out of the sky. Bad for many people, but great for Trump! Thx for sharing!

FOR AMERICA, AND THE WORLD: \"BREXIT\" IS OFFICIALLY A THING
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks DD for your attempt to understand BREXIT in essence it is even more complicated than cricket ! David shot himself in the foot because he called the referendum (feeling he would win !) when it was not necessary. Labour (whose Leader looks a bit like COLOMBO) also supported REMAIN (the opposite of BREXIT). For remain the big issue was ECONOMICS related to our dependence on the EU for jobs ~ tarrifs ~ exports ~ World trade etc. These are real issues and the UK economy is now much weaker. BREXIT chose immigration. Every American has eight times the space we (UK) do so we are much more densely populated. Old folk (65+) are scared of immigrants and say they are taking our Jobs ~ filling our Schools and causing a shortage (pe capita) of Doctors & Hospital etc. The YOUTH (18 - 25) voted 70:30 to stay and the older voters (60+) voted 70/30 to leave. It was a great pre-election with lies ~ exaggeration ~ scaremongering etc. The way they carried on would make TRUMP look normal ! Anyway the deed is done but it is the Young who will reap the whirlwind. Please check my IN or OUT Poem . Thanks for sharing - BRIAN

GOP CREATED A VERY STRANGE FRUIT
DubbleDhee said:
Thanks for commenting abstract! I was going to use "Tea Party" instead of "GOP" at first. I didn't realize it would have that kind of affect, but you never know, huh? Trump is one of my favorite political targets so I seem to have no problem writing about him. His antics make it so easy for me. LOL. Thanks again!

ANOTHER GUN MEASURE PROPOSAL GETS SHOT DOWN (PARDON THE PUN)
DubbleDhee said:
Thanks Lysis! I'm not sure what Americans do when in Europe, but I don't think guns are allowed on planes. And in the U.S. most Americans don't carry guns around with them at all. Most of the guns are actually owned by a relatively small (and very vocal) percent of the population.

lysistrata said:
Thank you so much for this,my friend.
I was wondering do Americans carry their guns when they go on holiday to Europe?
Do they feel safe in Europe and in danger while at their homeland?!

Poor Child Dragged Into a Pond by an Alligator
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
POOR ORLANDO DD ! Our fave resort in the USA now we're scared to go ! I don't think Floridians take gators seriously enough. We were on a guided walk in the Everglades at 7am to see the birds. Therewas a 15 ft gator right across our path. The Guide said "He's OK he's had his breakfast - just don't touch his tail. I was the first to step over him ~ but it felt spooky ! He sue was alive because one person jumped over him and the vibes woke him and he whipped round and (fortunately) missed ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN

Prayers For Orlando. Here We Go Again!
DubbleDhee said:
Hi Brian! Get rid of guns in the USA? Much easier said than done. Americans love their guns and will fight you tooth and nail to keep them. The NRA gun lobby is a powerful, well-funded organization that strikes fear in the hearts of politicians. They bully and bribe to get their way and stop at nothing to impose their will. Hillary seems to want sensible gun laws but she'll fight a steep uphill battle trying to making a dent in the gun debate. Thanks - DD

Prayers For Orlando. Here We Go Again!
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks for your tribute DD. This is hard news for us to take in the UK ~ it must be devastating for decent Americans like yourself. The USA has to wake up ! The WILD WEST is dead and gone ~ just MAKE GUN OWNERSHIP ILLEGAL ~ like we did in the UK. The Americans I speak to ~ when i stay in American homes ~ admit nobody in the USA really needs a gun. Th good guys have to have a gun 'cos the bad guys have them ! Take them all away (good & bad) and the problem would be solved We are praying for ORLANDO (where many Brits own homes) and the whole of America. Hillary is a Woman (I'm sure you noticed !) and I hope when she is elected she will work to dump the Gun Lobby as well as TRUMP ! Yours BRIAN

Ali Answers His Final Bell
DubbleDhee said:
Thanks so much for your comments Isi! People forget or are too young to know how hated Ali was at one time. His glass is more than half full and public opinion changed over time, but I think it's important that we look at the total Ali - warts and all. Critically, but fairly. Thanks again. Keep writing. Stay in touch!

Was Snoop Dogg Wrong? Or Are We Blaming The Messenger?
lysistrata said:
This is a site dedicated to poetry,so I can't write an essay about "The Politics of Arrogant Ignorance or is it, Ignorant Arrogance in the 21st American showbiz".
Maya Angelou has written
"I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise.
I rise.
I rise."
"Never judge a man without putting yourself in his place." This is what Maya Angelou did.She put herself in the position of the slave,coming herself from slaves. I could easily put myself into Snoopy's position and murmur a couple of excuses. But I am not. I watch the History Channel,to learn Historical facts about Slavery and Race, and I watch the Fox for series like "The Empire",with the Black Successful SnoopyBiz like people.
That's in short my opinion.Thank you once more,my friend .You need,I think,a different title,a more catchy one.
Looking forward to more,
Lysi.

Who is Responsible for Harambe\'s Death?
lysistrata said:
My new friend,Didi,
Should I tell you about all the fools of the world
Who the fate of the entire humanity hold?
Should I tell you about all scumbags, dead clowns,
Who pass into history in white crowns?
But what for?
There would be no revolution.
Democracy is just an optical illusion.
This case proves once more that the human jungle is more dangerous than the wild animal one...
Looking forward to more from you.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks DD - love topical ODES ! PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are a sincere but misguided group. In my book Human Life is sacred Animal Life is subordinate. The Parents have suffered enough and if the Zoo felt that demise of the Ape was the appropriate action and it should be left at that. Parents are warned to be extra dilligent in zoos. I am an Animal lover and Gorillas are wicked - BUT - the child's l;ife was being threatened so the Gorilla had to be sacrificed. Lesser of two evils. Nicely structured Poem love rhyming couplets.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
WELCOME DUBBLEDHEE (great pen name !) And thanks for a topical poem and I love the structure (rhyming couplets) and the topic - USA Primaries ! I'm a UK Socialist so I'm for Hillary and in my book anyone is better than the Chump Trump. Although my Bible-belt Republican Friends rea saying they would even JUMP for TRUMP to keep Hillary out of the White House. I like Bernie because SOCIALISM is a dirty word in the USA - BUT - I think that by going a "Bridge too far" he is preventing Hillary for exposing TRUMP for the bigot he is. Like REGAN they will all be 70+ when the axe falls - are there no JFK's left in America. I tell people that America gets the President it deserves God forbid that that ends up as TRUMP ! Watch this space ! BRIAN
