Well, it looks like my paranoia about liberal perfidy and statism wasn’t based on apocryphal tales after all.

Don’t know how many of you are familiar with MeekMom but i was sad to read that she has passed away. She was often asking for prayers to help cope with pain, but i had no idea that it was a life threatening situation which caused the pain. So sad. Prayers for her soul, secure in the knowledge that she’s in a painfree paradise now.

The apocryphal false premise that 97% said the science was settled is proven to be false. No surprise there. They are not the party of science. They are the party of liars and manipulators who hide behind the protective, agenda-driven media skirts.

All the apocryphal stories about how the Democratic Party has been working in our best interest are brought crashing to the ground by the assault of WikiLeaks!!!!

Have you watched Clinton Cash on line yet? We stayed up late last night watching and it absolutely connects cash donations, then bill’s speeches to the same corp, then Hillary granting favored status or grants to the donor. It is devastating. Of course libs won’t believe it - even with all the facts - but it will stun you.

Hillary’s speeches—a crock; they’re full
Of lies, mendacious, apocryphal
Her methods and practice
Just serve to distract us
She’s shrill and debasing, just schlock-ryphal

Apparently that Kumbaya thing is not working for the DNC-

Hillary will be the candidate
And absolved of her every sin
But Bernie’s koolaid drinkers
Didn’t believe the fix was in...

Until WikiLeaks went to work
And quietly started to hack-
The genie is out of the bottle
And now there’s no going back

The DNC just sacrificed Debbie
And they made her walk the plank-
But the Bernie fans don’t want
To be thrown into Hillary’s tank

I can’t wait to see what e-mails get dumped next-the DNC bunch apparently even criticized Bernie for being Jewish and wanted to put that into the narrative-and they call conservatives intolerant...

I highlighted the wrong thing to copy-and hit post-

A few may have begun to see
The apocryphal stories told
About Trump and other stuff
Are just more lies they’re sold

Apparently Basil had a very serious stroke earlier in the year and was not expected to recover. She was a very bright lady and very active in the Austin Texas area with protests and gatherings for freepers.
