Desire to promote free speech and public discourse. You have the right to say it, and I have the right to comment. This is the backbone of American freedom. We can always learn if we keep our minds open.

The largest threat to our Democratic Republic today is the muzzling of free speech.

Taliban actually means "students"

a ®️eMark from eMark ™️

Taliban means students. No, I mean literally, the name Taliban translates to “students”! This should send off alarm bells! The Taliban in the mid-90’s was a student faction, in many ways similar to Antifa!

My first question is, “Is history repeating itself?” When I researched the conflict in Afghanistan, I found an eerie parallel to us, today! Besides a radical organization that was sure they were, “doing the right thing”, and they were justified to use violence as a means to a better end, there is another gut-puncher!

Afghanistan was at relative peace under a dictator in the late ‘70’s until the “city folk” decided they didn’t like the way the “country folk” thought! Does that sound familiar? Those differences caused several regime changes, but every time the real friction was the city folk wanted to force the country folk to think their way!

This led to the city folk terrorizing the country folk. Now you know, that is the best way to win them over! Not! The country folk fought harder and a full-scale civil war began! The war has continued for 43 years now!

The Taliban were angry students from the city that had a well-designed and vicious strategy. They were backed by big money from Pakistan, as they saw the Taliban as an ally to allow the shipping routes to stay open (in the mid ‘90’s)

Of course, Pakistan acknowledged the legitimacy of Taliban’s takeover of Kabul (26 years ago, not the takeover Joe Biden allowed today), and so did Saudi Arabia, giving more legitimacy to the Taliban.

Russia and eventually the U.S. and UK tipped the scales from time to time, but all along this was a civil war between the city folk and the country folk, only because the city folk wanted the country folk to agree with them.

Today the city folk have great animosity over how country folk think. Today they insist on everything running their way and get angry and violent enabling students, who are sure they are on the side of good, (due to decades of leftist indoctrination.) Students banning together as Antifa, BLM and being funded by our own “Pakistan”, (Billionaires, with their own agenda).

Are we on course for a 43-year civil war? All the cake’s ingredients are laid out on the counter, will it go into the oven?

Respectful comments, snide remarks, essays, are always welcome.

Are you a 'Reluctant Republican'?

Dipping my toe into podcasting, here is Freemerican's Podcast1

Are you a 'Reluctant Republican'?
This is my first podcast. I plan to do many more. This was 43 years ago today..

I was the Production Director. I edited (spliced with a razor blade and tape) reel to reel audio tape and made magic, (commercials and contest promos). To maintain my energy I brought a gallon of orange juice into the studio every day and it was gone five hours later when my show was over. Funny, I don't recall ever getting the Flu when I was there.. 🙄😎

The reason there's only the parts where I talk and not the whole song is because the boss, (the Program Director) required us to record 'skimmer tapes' that only run when our mic is open, so he could yell at us for anything he thought was wrong. LOL

This is my first podcast. I plan to do many more. This was 43 years ago today..
This is me about 43 years ago.. in Racine Wisconsin at WRKR-FM
