Daily Rants!: (2017 in Perspective)

By Allan W Janssen

In typical Canadian fashion, and in all good conscience, I have to start with an apology to our American neighbours and cousins for some of the mean things I say about Donald Trump and the Republicans The political opinions in this book were not written out of malice or vindictiveness, but rather as a reflection of a society that was once considered the greatest nation on Earth. Since the election of Don the Con Trumplethinskin he has aroused such outrage within me that I am compelled to voice my opinion, and dare I say it, disgust...., if only for the sake of my own inner peace and equilibrium (Folks, I have tried my best not to write too much about Drumpf on these pages, but the guy just won't shut up )Sitting up here in the "Great White North" affords me an interesting yet detached view of what is happening in the United States of America and puts us in the unique position of being able to observe and comment on American society without the emotional and political baggage that goes along with it America reached its zenith as a country back during the JFK years and it was called "Camelot" for a good reason. Then along came 'Tricky Dick, ' and this is when the Republican Party started the long, slow slide into greed, partisanship, and dishonesty From Watergate to the Iran-Contra affair to George W Bush declaring an illegal war in the Middle-East the only "principles" the Republicans seem to have now is driven by profit and power. The post World War ll United States was the greatest nation the world had ever seen, and Donald Drumpf was absolutely right when he said you should try to: "Make America Great Again " Unfortunately he's going about it in the worst way possible, and between him and various groups and ideologues this slide from greatness just seems to be accelerating On the surface there's not much difference, if any, between the average American and Canadian citizen. Unfortunately down in the States, since you are ten times our size, there are so many more pockets of nut cakes, extremists, fanatics, idiots and bigots walking around that are doing great harm to your entire country. The only solution to this problem is taking power away from special interest groups. That's what makes or breaks a country, and in this area the United States has lately been sadly lacking. Now please don't think that we are free of these problems up here in Canada, because we're not......., you just have a lot more of it down there The way I see it anyway
