It has been a while since I posted. It got very busy during
my hiatus, and I found new employment. Nonetheless, I will try to start posting
more frequently on Monday Moment With Kyle.
Today I wanna write about this mythical time called “THE
GOOD OL’ DAYS.” I’m sure you’ve heard people speak nostalgically of halcyon
days gone by, of when life was simple and perfect. The streets were so clean,
you could walk on them bare feet…Gold poured from the skies…the races got
along…it was just so much better back then.
For whom??
I usually get a great laugh when I watch the crew on Morning
Joe, and Joe Scarborough waxes poetic about the Reagan years. It’s gotten to
the point where it is simply comical. If you forget the propaganda machine and
look at the facts, Ronald Reagan did more to harm the Republican Party than
anyone. He also wasn’t as popular as many are led to believe.
What has happened over the years is that an image was
created of him. An image of a strong president who told Mr. Gorbachev to “tear
down these walls.”
In this country, where 6 major media conglomerates control
the narrative, image is everything.
Image is displayed on our television shows…about whom the
news chooses to cover…on whom the media chooses to glorify and demonize; and
sadly many people take this as fact.
The good ol’ days weren’t really that good, because it is a
creation…an image.
The good ol’ days are now!
Until next time…
