Don't worry. Defiant is a known troll here. The Mods let him stay just to keep up appearances. But in reality he is someone's left over sock puppet from a bygone era.
Yes, the bygone era in which I am stuck are the nostaligc late 1980's and early 1990's pre-NAFTA, pre-Clinton America that kicked Saddam Hussein's ass and defeated the Soviet Union ...
It's Mike Dukakis' third term as Governor.
During the 1988 Democratic Primary, a less woke, less douchey Al Gore introduced America to Willy Horton, a man who helped elevate Bush #41 to the Presidency.
John Kerry was just a Lieutant Governor.
Ted Kennedy still hosted traditional Kennedy Family Easters in Palm Beach, FLA.
The Boston FBI Office was buying their Christmas party booze from Whitey Bulger's Liquor Mart.
Boston Mayor Ray Flynn hadn't yet desegregated Boston Public Housing's projects in his own neighborhood.
Boston was mired in the post-Wars and post Forced Busing flith, grime, poor white Irish Trash culture that would become Boston Noir Film (Gone Baby Gone, The Town).
Cheers made Boston drunks appear classy; not like the black-out, belligerent, incontinent, leg-less drunks they really were.
Fenway Park was not Family Friendly, yet. The mens rooms still had urinary troughs. Blow-up sex dolls would be treated as beach balls / volley balls in the bleachers. Chants of "Tastes great! Less filling! Eat $h!t! F--k you!" echoed from the bleachers when the Wave was not making the rounds amongst the crowd.
The old Boston Garden couldn't host events in the Summer because it lacked air conditioning.
These were days when MasHoles looked to the Republican Party and Reaganism to rescue us from the hypocritical limousine liberal cesspool that was Taxachusetts and Boston Harbor.
I still remeber the day Ronald Reagan visited the Eire Pub at Gallivan Boulevard and Adams Street in Dorchester, MA. I was a wee lad in a nearby suburban Cathloic grammar school. I saw Marine I and the other helicopters fly overhead. It was a damn glorious day.
Boston Harbor and the Charles River were far cleaner than Massachusetts Dem politics during those days.
I may be someone's left-over sock puppet troll, and the mods let me hang to keep up appearances, but, dammit, I come from a time before America was wussified by the Bush's and the Clinton's. And, dammit, I'll fight to de-wussify America, and return us to to being Reagan's shining city upon the hill.
Long live the Laffer Curve!
