Let's see, the election seems to be coming down to a two mule race between a Millionaire Professional Politician and a Billionaire Businessman who both claim to be People's Candidates.  Yeah Right, when do you think either one of them ever had to worry about the rent money?  Bascomb Biggers is still your best bet!

Something to Ponder

SOMETHING TO PONDER

As the 2016 election trail continues its twisted path, we may see a huge storm developing on the horizon.  America has been deeply divided over the years between "Liberals and Conservatives", with elections clearly rotating around these diverse viewpoints, with a lot of attention being paid to various special interests on both sides.

We now have the potential for a dramatic showdown between "Left and Right".  If Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump should face each in the general election for President in November of 2016, the American people will have a clear choice as to the future course of our country.  Both are on the outside of typical party lines, and both claim to support the working class where most of the anger against the establishment seems to originate.

Sanders is an acknowledged Socialist who believes the average citizen can best be served by a large powerful government whose ability to intercede in their lives, will provide a better quality of life by equalizing assets.

Trump is an acknowledged Capitalist who espouses a smaller government with a hard stand on foreign economic interest as a means to create more wealth for the working class.

It has been a long time since two opposing candidates both sought approval from the average worker with such different philosophies.  This may be the ultimate conflict between these two very different approaches, giving the American People a clear choice on our path for the future.

At any rate, neither the Republican Party, nor the Democrat Party leaders are in favor of this outcome.  It could divide the country even further, or perhaps create a more consolidated approach to the future.  It will not be politics as usual, but it will be interesting to watch.
(Of course, you can always vote for Bascomb)

2016 "Bascomb takes a stand"

RE: 2016 "BASCOMB TAKES A STAND”


 
A lot of folks have been asking me where I stand on the issues, besides hating all of the lying Skunks and Polecats up in DC.

Well there are four big issues facing the country today.

1. Immigration

2. Money

3. Jobs

4. Terrorists

Well first let me say that when it comes to our borders, that I believe we should have regular patrols to keep them folks from down in Columbus from sneaking in up here in Nankipooh. I also understand that there has been a few of them Roosevelt Liberals from over in Warm Springs coming over here to our barn dances.

When it comes to the broader issue, I ain't wanting none of them folks from Alabama or Tennessee coming around here neither. Now my kin folks came to Nankipooh from South Carolina a few hundred years ago, so I guess them folks are alright, but we don't want none of them Yankees sneaking up here from Florida though.

Now when you start talking about money, it’s a tough subject, since most of the folks around Nankipooh ain't got much of it. It seems like the government and the banks got most of the money, and they ain't spreading it around too much. The big Federal Bank up in DC just keeps giving the littler banks money for free, and they use it to buy up mortgages and other banks. The 1st Nankipooh Bank wouldn't even lend old Bascomb any money to put more stock in the Nankipooh General Store. A bunch of folks around here is trading with each other, since they ain't got no money, but I understand that the government is trying to figure out how to put a tax on that too.

Maybe the best thing would be for us to print our own money down here in Nankipooh and not use none of them DC greenbacks. We ain't got none anyway. Course the Skunks and Polecats up in DC won't allow that either, since they are the only ones allowed to print money to pay bills, that they ain't got no money for. So I say let's do away with money and go back to using gold and silver, or just trading with one another.

Now the hardest thing is how to come up with some more jobs. Maybe the farmers could take on folks to help them, and teach them how to farm, and then after they have learned, they could give them a little strip of land of their own to farm. Old Bascomb is willing to take on a helper at the Nankipooh General Store and teach him how to be a store keeper in exchange for him running the soft drink department on a commission basis.

There is a lot of folks that ain't got a job cause they don't know how to do what people is paying for. Maybe the Mayor of Nankipooh could teach some folks about politics, since there seems to be a lot of work for politicians. It also seems that the government and the banks ought to be hiring since they got all the money. If folks don't work, they can't spend money or pay taxes, and that's what it takes to keep things running

As far as Terrorism goes, I saw a bunch of them kids from over in Double Churches running around over here in Nankipooh stealing apples and spray painting folk’s barns.  I done called the county sheriff to do something about those brats, since that is one of the main jobs that the government is supposed to do.  Protecting the citizens, as a matter of fact, is supposed to be the number one job of the government.  Course, the sheriff we got right now don’t seem to have much time for that, since he is always spending his time pitching horse shoes, or making speeches about how things really ain’t all that bad.

Now the one thing we all got to learn to get through hard times, is that you can't buy things that you ain't got no money for. If you are in debt, you can't borrow your way out of debt, just like you can't dig yourself out of a hole! That goes for folks in Nankipooh as well as the Skunks and Polecats up in DC!

RE: "The Latest from Bascomb Biggers"
 
 
It is hard to get any press these days when you are running for President of the Good Old USA, when you got a guy like that Huckster from New York who makes one outlandish statement after another, just to see how far he can go.  It seems to work too, since the press in this country would rather report the rantings of a confirmed con man, in preference to somebody who actually would like to work on fixing some of the big problems that the country is facing.  Of course, some folks think the New York Big Shot is crazy because of some of the idiot statements he makes, but I think he just likes to hear himself talk and get headlines, and he sure has got that covered.  One thing that I would bet on, is that Mr. Big Shot cares more about his hair than he does this country.
 
It is plain to see that the Skunk Party has got itself in quite a jam when they got way more than a dozen running, and the only one getting any notice is the Snake Oil Salesman from New York.  On the other hand, the front running candidate for the Polecat Party really doesn't have much time to campaign, since she has to keep busy trying to cover for the dozen or so scandals she has been involved in.
 
Folks, Old Bascomb has seen a lot of history in his time, and the country is in about as bad a shape as I have ever seen it, and this parade of fools running for President is a good example of just how bad things are.  The Good Old USA sure could use an honest man right about now, who cares more for the country than he does for himself, or all the money he can make off the job.
That's why Old Bascomb is running for President, so that we can get this ship of state back on course, and steer her toward the glory which once was America the Beautiful.  We still got the best place to live in the whole wide world, but it ain't quite what it used to be, but it still can be.  Besides all that, I sure could use a job, and I am mostly honest, and only a little bit lazy, and am willing to put what we stand for back on the map, up front, for the rest of the world to see.

Changing History

Scoop's Comment:
"The ostrich may stick it's head in the sand and deny the egg from whence it came, but we cannot deny that the past is us and we are the past, whether we like it or not.  History contains the essence of humanity, and the good and evil co-exist in us all. A great individual is no less great because he has flaws.  Those who wish to erase their past are doomed to repeat it."  scoop

RE: "Changing History"
 
In light of recent events which challenge the validity of holding certain individuals in high esteem, I would like to weigh in, and emphatically state that I believe that anyone who has ever held slaves should be erased from history, and all monuments, flags or other written documentation representing their lives should be forever banished from our sight and minds.
The following in alphabetical order, is a list of those we should begin with.
 
Abraham - Hebrew leader
Augustus Caesar - Roman Emperor
Christopher Columbus - Explorer
Demosthenes - Greek Philosopher
Benjamin Franklin - Inventor and Journalist
U.S. Grant - American President and General
Hannibal - Mid-Eastern Conqueror  
Sam Houston - General and Hero of Texas
Pope Innocent VIII - Religious Leader
Ferdinand Magellan - Explorer
Mohammed - Religious Leader
Moses - Prophet of God
Ramses - Egyptian Leader 
Solomon - Mighty King of Wisdom
George Washington - Father of our country
 
This is of course, only a partial list which can be added to later.
