No. LII: Arc (Personal History)

Produits de l'imagination depuis 1943. When young I voted Republican. Democrats were union goons or Ku Klux Klan. Camelot Kennedy? Not my cup of tea. (Frankly, thought it a scam. I was a Goldwater man.) Through Johnson and Nixon I lacked conviction. For Ford and Carter I couldn't bother. Then came Ronnie. The smarmy carny, hominy nominee. Time to change party! Bush, Clinton, Bush led to Obama who led us to this, our present trauma. Labor's diminished. Maybe finished. The Klan is a GOP brand. Anger predominates. (At best) second-rates hold fate in tiny hands. Not a Democrat, yet I vote like that. Now an elderly man, I'm an anti-Republican.
