Great article! It says it all.

[laplata]

You are correct and they’ll continue to erase our history.

[Ancesthntr]

“Their pig ignorance of the world and their smug and stupid imagined superiority over the rest of us don’t allow them to know what they’re doing.”

---

Maybe the rank and file, what Lenin called “useful idiots” (and what I call “useless idiots”). But the leaders know EXACTLY what they’re doing. They are every bit as evil as Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin and the rest of those murderous, power-at-any-price, Bolsheviks. Don’t fool yourself, these people are NOT stupid - they are the embodiment of evil on Earth.

[laplata]

You are right. The typical ignorant and naïve Liberal is a Useful Idiot being used and abused by the Left.

[Ohioan]

Yes, the hard core Left epitomize true evil. (For example, consider my current Feature: Wealth Tax)

No rational person, in touch with reality, and not totally hate driven, could believe that you benefit society by tearing down the high achievers. You only benefit demagogues & scoundrels.

“Holier than though hasn’t cut it for a long time.”

Which is why I was dismayed when Rand Paul decided not to support Trump on the emergency wall order.

Paul might be an academic and well trained general like McClellan, but Trump fights like Grant. As the author said, we don’t want to have to “shoot our way out of socialism”. Trump is giving the country a chance to avoid collpase.

Tempt not a desperate man, exactly.

I have never ascribed to the notion that...

The story goes that Lincoln was pressured to remove Grant from command because of his drinking. It was unseemly! Lincoln’s response - I cannot spare this man, he fights!

Lincoln is also reported to have responded to criticisms of Grant thusly:

"Find out what he drinks and send a case to each of my Generals."

[KC Burke]

I’m stealing that line for occasional use. I will credit you but only for a while and then its mine. LOL

[Jim Noble]

This is why I kept saying that we should send Stormy Daniels gift certificates to McConnell and Ryan.

Alas, too late!

[rlmorel]

Thank you for that correction.

[robowombat]

Rand Paul has to show he is his father’s son every now and then.

[Windflier]

You’re welcome, RL.

[rlmorel]

I have always thought of myself of having a pretty good vocabulary, and I am definitely a “words have meaning” kind of guy, so when you corrected me, I had to look it up, because I realized it was quite possible I was indeed using the wrong word.

I read a lot from an early age, and even though there are many words I have never seen the definition of, I have found that I can discern a word’s meaning from observing how it is used in context. (I know everyone does it to a degree, but I have always found it rewarding to be able to do that.

So I don’t mind the correction at all...I meant it when I said it!

[Windflier]

Thanks again. Freepers have helped me sharpen my English skills many times. Just paying it forward :-)

[rlmorel]

Yes! I fall prey to the “TL/DR” tag (too long, didn’t read) but I enjoy posting and reading here.

Note to recent list joiners who aren't getting pinged on this: I'm a little behind Duncan on updating the list, my apologies. I'll make sure to get that done today.

Me too. Been away from keyboards recently, hope to be back soon and will update my ping list as well.
