A member of the Stix household said that yesterday.
When I first visited Communist East Berlin in September 1980, nothing was real. The coffee was entirely artificial. The chocolate bars had 0% cocoa in them. The “Orangensaft” (orange juice) was devoid of orange juice. It looked and tasted like Tang, except that one of the vendors served his up with a layer of mold on the top.
The only somewhat real thing was called “Antonsaft,” in honor of a party convention.
Thank God, I live in the free West!
For a number of years, I’ve noticed that America increasingly resembles the old Communist East Bloc.
Fruit “juice drinks” with almost no real fruit juice (or with 50% water), sold by big-name companies, but for the same price as real juice. Expensive, leather-free “genuine leather” jackets and belts.
About a week ago, I bought a quart of Yoplait “strawberry” yogurt. Except there isn’t a single strawberry in it!
Help me fight the communization of America.

This is sort of on the topic. I used to be a self-described liberal. I left it over a quarter century ago.
ReplyDeleteA "liberal" thinks himself "morally pure." This self-image is combined with a personal viciousness toward those with whom he professes to disagree.
They bleat about how "compassionate" they are, while in actuality being vicious people.
For example, gloating over someone's death.
