“We are officially Balkanized.”

I’m sure the Serbs are watching and enjoying the US coming apart.

The sad part is that I wouldn’t blame them. After what crimes we (Nato) committed against the Serbs, they would have the right to gloat.

Khrushchev’s “We will bury you” promise is coming to fruition. For decades, the communists have been infiltrating our institutions and conservatives have been watching meekly, sucking their thumbs.

The communists are currently instigating a violent insurrection against Trump and the American people. As usual, conservatives are still sucking our thumbs.

Let’s get on with the amicable divorce.

It's not possible.

I’m all for us traveling to Seattle and destroying the statue of Lenin.

That would really enrage the communists, including my millennial communist relative who recently resided in Seattle. And her equally worthless, bratty brother.

The aforementioned “relatives” are no longer welcome on my property and I never want to lay eyes on them ever again. They are dead to me.

I would love to see the leftists’ tantrums if their beloved Lenin suffered the same fate as the Confederate statues.

“They’ll die if they try ANYTHING”

“AMERICANS ARE ARMED TO THE TEETH.”

LMAO! Don’t make me laugh.

Most Americans are cowards who absolutely, positively refuse to fight.

As I previously stated on this site: Civil War II is here, but only one side is fighting. Sadly, I don’t see that changing.

“When God’s wrath falls, it’s going to be mighty. And it’s going to be WELL DESERVED”

Yeah, sure. My mother has been saying the same thing. I haven’t seen it yet.

The only wrath that I’ve seen has been coming from the communists. And the
Goody Americans are getting their asses kicked.

The old adage is true: Nice Guys Finish Last.

What would Trump do? He would put a new one up 30 feet taller.

So do it, Virginia

Should have been “Good” instead of “Goody”.

It seems to me that there needs to be a severe punishment for anyone who would attack a church, a library, a school, a public monument or statue, or any institution that reflected the values of the community at large.

Destructive attacks on symbols and institutions are not victimless crimes. On the contrary, they are very real attempts to destroy our civilization.

The Sopranos did an episode about Italians fighting for Columbus Day, but it was clearly written from the anti-Columbus perspective. I believe it was written by the guy who played Christopher, and I believe most of the episodes he wrote were leftist.

I believe it’s true because I believe the Bible is true and I believe the Bible is God’s word of truth. Every day that His PROMISED wrath does NOT fall is another day He is giving to a fallen world to be reconciled to Him by the FINISHED WORK OF Christ; HIS death, burial and resurrection, for OUR sins. Every day He waits is another day of His GRACE being freely offered. To anyone who will accept it. It’s a blessed new day to be reconciled to Him. And it costs nothing. It’s already been paid for. By Christ.

65 years ago they were saying it was hysteria to believe that these American traditions and memorials and everything else will be vandalized and torn asunder.
