We have all witnessed, of late, the extreme calumny of liberals and liberalism. It is their cachet, their scrip, their very language that sets them apart as hostile to civilized, decent, responsible citizenry.

Let liberals be liberals. No one else wants to engage in the remorseless calumny of this pack of jackals. A word, not uncommon, but insufficiently used to describe 1/2 of our political discourse.

I think we can all agree
From what we saw on TV
That General Sessions
Taught a lesson
In dealing with Democratic calumny

The extreme calumny of liberals and liberalism as well as many bodies of American political, professions and academic groups, has been evident in our nations history. As an example, one, only need look at the way the press covered the Jackson Presidential or the Lincoln Presidential Election Candidacy’s.

Gov. Terry McCauliffe engaged in calumny and gross exaggeration at his news conference at the scene of the attempted assassination at the Republican Congressional Baseball practice field when he claimed that 93 MILLION lives are lost every day because of gun show loop holes. Sheesh! When is this clown going to go away?

Well, at 93 million lives lost per day, this clown and everyone else in the world will be gone in about 80 days. Except for that last gun-totin' guy or gal of course - who is that going to be?

LOL haiku is its own best friend. Sessions did indeed nail his (Wyden’s) butt.

A cry for crazy behavior is callunacy, is it not? The daily 5:00 oclock news, for example, the is calumny of our times, no longer the source of information, but deformation and division.

CAL --UM -- NY

From the Left coast… Throughout the Liberal citadels of academe across the Heartland… To the East Coast power centers… The hateful rhetoric of the Establishment against the American people is palpable and toxic.
