People accepting lesser evil do indeed lose their souls.

It isn't so much the 'lesser of two evils', but rather, the evil of two lessers...

Pretty sure Mormans have not been beheading people, blowing up buildings, setting off bombs in public events, or murdering cartoonists.

The more ‘lesser’ you pile up, the bigger the pile of evil becomes. And ‘lesser’ no longer applies.

Lots of ‘conservatives’ willingly support evil, demand others join them in supporting evil and simply refuse to admit such a simple fact.

Still a fact though. Glad I don’t live near them.

That would do it....

Some Blue blood money supporting Duke....

I'd expect quite a few Liberal Dim's money was behind this too....

They will never be mentioned....of course.

This is the kind of thing that reminds us how much power is in the hands of the people.

You stupid elitists out there don’t care about unity, you only care about your bottom line.

Thanks to Franklin Graham. He tore duke a new one on facebook, told the truth about muslims beheading and killing Christians, etc. And asked donors to cutoff duke. Thank God we finally have a minister willing to stand up to islam.

The sad thing is that duke thought this was a good idea to begin with. I once thought highly of duke but not anymore.

“The sad thing is that duke thought this was a good idea to begin with. I once thought highly of duke but not anymore.’

I’ve detested Duke since the Group of 88 reared it’s ugly head.

It’s a pit IMHO.

Duke has always been wacked out.

They have had nitwit programs like “Thought Transference” and “Out of Body Studies” for over a century.
