Pretty good summation....all tip top pints and true. Good job. CHECK!!

"Roger that Roger. What's your vector, Victor.' Shirley you can't be telling the truth? Oh forgot. Not suppose to call you surely.

Only the now younger ignorant folk can't see it, cause history was never learned, nor the writings of Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Aristotle, etc.:

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the Tranquility of servitude better than the Animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." ~ Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." Thomas Jefferson

"It is also in the interests of a tyrant to keep his people poor, so that they may not be able to afford the cost of protecting themselves by arms and be so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for rebellion." - Aristotle

If you want to see what an effective and pervasive job the left has done to destroy our youth, and to remove from them knowledge about our traditional values, the accomplishments of western civilization, and our magnificent US history check out this issue of Atlantic

I glanced at it in library yesterday and was SHOCKED. I don't think I have ever seen such strong self loathing white liberal guilt!
