The guy should have done his research better, or maybe defined what he means as "the Left."

On the one hand, there's no doubt that the last 50 years have seen social destruction in this country that is largely driven by leftist politics.

On the other hand, we've gotten to the point where Democratic candidates are pushed by Wall Street because they sell out so easily. Liberals don't like to remember that most of Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" was actually signed into law -- by Bill Clinton.

Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton are such dull minds and slow wits that the worst Republican nominee in the last five decades looks brilliant and wise by comparison.

The worst Republican nominee of the last five decades was Mitt Romney, who somehow found a way to lose to an unpopular president who governed against the will of the American psople and presided over a bad economy. The next worse nominees were McCain, Dole, Ford and the Bushes.

“Leftism has been on life support for fifty years.”

B.S.
It’s gotten so far that it’s becoming illegal to keep men out of women’s bathrooms.
Conservatism has never been so in danger from the Left becoming totalitarian about reversing all values.

Liberalism, like Islam, is of satanic origin. That’s why they both love death, etc. That’s why liberals hate Jesus Christ and cannot bring themselves to NAME islamic terrorism, let alone CONDEMN it.

They’ll be with us until the devil is locked up, Revelation 20:3 and context, and Christ sets up his thousand-year reign here on Earth.

In a political sense, they've already been eliminated as the nation's largest minority, and they will become less and less influential if current trends continue. I've heard individual blacks express concern about that, but their 'leaders' seem oblivious to it while they seek short term alliances with other minorities.

Don’t we wish. Maybe the next 50?

My thoughts exactly. The only thing on life support is Traditional American Values.

Life Support? Refutation? I want whatever the author is smoking, imbibing!

Man on the street 95% of the time couldn’t tell you our form of govt, or the 3 branches of govt. Let alone the (R), being the small govt types that they say they are, recently gave us the DHS, NSA, TSA and the largest expansion of Medi-X in recent history (can’t forget the open checkbook for Zero too).

Dude is delusional on all fronts


Yeah. The author gives your average, dupe on the street, way too much credit. Your current crop of college ...graduates, (LOL!!) over the last ten years, are just not all that bright and little more than angry infants; now looking for someone else to be Mommy and Daddy.

You are correct, of course. Christ is the only Hope.

That said, we do not know that we are in, or near, the End Times.

It is our duty as Americans, as Christians, and as men, to do what we can to defeat the spawn of Satan that is liberalism as represented by Hillary.

The victory is in Christ.

The Left cannot be defunded without massive and total deconstruction of the Agencies and total separation of government from education and medicine.

Probably right. But we can make a serious dent. For instance, the DOJ is funding La Raza. What the FReep!

The title is correct but the content is wrong. How about this?:

The LSM is a shadow of its former Self, because, due to the alternative media telling the truth, they have lost most of their viewers and are no longer able to convince their remaining viewers to think like they do. Lies just become so apparent when contrasted with the truth.

The #NeverTrumpers are a combo of LSM, Big Government and Military-Industrial complex, but I repeat myself. That's been made abundantly clear recently thanks to Donald J. Trump.

The Education establishment is on the ropes, since last year when the inmates (students) took over the asylum. Safe spaces, freaking out at Halloween costumes, etc have caused them to lose endowment and students and any stitch of credibility they had with normal people and even some liberals. The only good part is seeing the liberal professors faces when faced with verbal attacks from their students for not being liberal enough.

This is absurd. Liberals have won every presidential election since Bush 1, with the exception of 2000 and 2004. Their courts overrule our ballots routinely. They flaunt the law and dispense favors. Their people live like monarchs and drain us of our wages. They control thought and speech through political correctness.

That’s winning? Rush Limbaugh said that in 1993. It was stupid then and insane now.

Well, not only that, but the GOP in presidential elections has only won the popular vote once since 1988.

That’s why I find GOP Inc boosters particularly maddening. They stick to the 1988 campaign book, continue to lose, and somehow think minor changes here and there will reverse the trend.

It’s crazy.
