Average Citizen's View
00:02:47
|
|
| Hello in Portland. | |
| Hi there Dennis and the world. | |
| Yes, we have a mayor who doesn't really care about the common citizen. | |
| Their only focus is the miscreants, the ingrates, and the hell raisers. | |
| So good. | |
| I'm glad you called. | |
| What does the average citizen of Portland think? | |
| Most people are to the left, leftists as you would call them. | |
| Apparently they like this mayor. | |
| They plan to re-vote for mayor in November. | |
| So if I asked your neighbors what should be done about the violent rioting that has gone on now for two months? | |
| Well I just found out that the young neighbor next door has been participating in this and she got an earful from me. | |
| Do you speak to her parents at all? | |
| No, I don't generally. | |
| They've been kind of quiet over the years, but we had an encounter the other day. | |
| She had a concern, and I mentioned the rioting downtown, and she said, oh, I participate. | |
| And she seemed totally oblivious to rules, law, order, civil respect. | |
| She just thought that that was what you do when you're stupid and educated by the government over the last 20 years. | |
| How old is she? | |
| She's early 20s. | |
| Right. | |
| And she went to college, I presume? | |
| I presume she has some college, but the local public schools here, middle through high school. | |
| I think they're just as bad. | |
| Oh, they are. | |
| No, no, you're absolutely right. | |
| College is irrelevant now. | |
| It just cements what has already been paved. | |
| Right. | |
| But still, what do the business owners think? | |
| That's a problem that I have. | |
| have we have had this problem for 30 years long before Antifa that ingrates the miscreants the hate America first crowd has been here for a very long time and Chamber of Commerce seems to do absolutely nothing second another world Portland It is indeed. | |
| It once was a beautiful city. | |
| It still has some fantastic places to go, places to see. | |

35 Years Of Decline

|
| But the total politics of this town has deteriorated. | |
| I have lived here 65 years and have seen my once beautiful city to the point where I cry. | |
| For 35 years I drove by the Washington statue that the President has mentioned. | |
| I drove by the other day and it's just the pedestal that's standing. | |
| Wow. | |
