"Leftists are God players and they are in politics because that arena gives them the most leverage over others to control them."

At least they are doing if for our own good. /sarc

They covet EVERYTHING. What’s yours is “ours” - but, some animals are more equal than others... and so they deserve all the milk and apples, for our sake.

What does any spoiled child want.....LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, look AT ME, ME, ME..........

Tattoos on their face, nose rings, tongue studs, big protest signs, bitch, bitch, bitch.....you name it.. I doubt seriously that the vast majority of those folks ever worked an honest job in their entire lives.....

As long as Mommy and Daddy's money holds out we will be forced to put up with them.... But I really believe that hard times are coming..... What kind of work do you suppose they would be able to do......

Well the Career Education Center in Denver doesn't have a metal shop any more, but they've got courses on Audio production and Game programming.

MTV produced the XBox Generation that is producing....

While they are away from God, they can never be truly happy. Thus, they feel the need to use their misery to try and hold our joy hostage.

One day, they will realize it was never about us and them as they feverishly try to portray it.

It has always been between us and God.

We are just trying to point the way.

Thank you too. Rediscover old time radio. The post war and early Cold War era was extremely my pro-America and Constitution. The shows that have commercials remains are really fun.

From Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 speech at the Sarbonne:
There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The rôle is easy; there is none easier, save only the rôle of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

What do “liberals” want? Ask rather, “Who are “liberals,” that they speak as they do?
I put it to you that “liberals” are “the critic” in Theodore Roosevelt’s formulation. They want the “credit” which the logic of TR’s speech denies them. They turn TR’s logic directly on its head when they arbitrarily declare that “you didn’t build that.” And they do so precisely because they “didn’t build that” - but they are envious of those who did, and do, build.

The truth is that “building that” is a continuous process. Businesses won’t stay built, they have to continually be adjusted to the times and the circumstances. “Liberals” steal “credit” from "the man in the arena” by postulating a world with profit but no loss. They make the dangers the “man in the arena” hazarded disappear, and show only his reward.

Whenever I do listen to Hannity, I’ve heard him say several times over the years something like this:

“I think Barack Obama is a wonderful man and a patriotic American that loves his family and his country. I just disagree with his policies.”

Would it make you feel better if his every other sentence was about his hatred of Obama? Would it change anything one iota if we all kept saying how much we hate Obama?

Is it not enough that one merely disagree politically, and subsequently not vote for him...? Is there a hatred litmus test we all must pass lest we be thought of as insufficiently against something...?

They want the power to impose the whim of the moment, only they know what is best for each and every individual.

They have succumbed to the lie of Satan appealing to mankind’s arrogance

I'll leave those answers to the consultants, like the clueless dolt that wrote the original article. However, I do know that almost every one of our tactics and strategies have left us with complete defeat. Talking nice about our adverseries doesn't help. They certainly never talk nice about us.

A person shouldn't say nice things about somebody that's trying to destroy him. That's foolish and naive. That's why we lose - our side is so goody-goody and naive that it's killing us. We need to WAKE UP and see these Liberals for what they really are. Our side just hasn't come to realize how dangerous and powerful the modern Liberal movement is.

When Hannity or Romney, or anybody else, says things like "I like Obama personally, I just disagree with his policies," the Left sees that as weakness. Because......it IS weakness.

These clueless people have been purchased by the dark side.

The media drones and Hollyweird stooges are lured by bazillion dollar contracts and become hooked to their lives of luxury and ease, unaware that they were flagged and tagged as useful idiots from the get-go.

They happily parrot [or passively refuse to judge and discern] the party line in order to keep their .001% lifestyles. Meanwhile their egos convince them that they they earn their salaries because they have real talent.

They prevaricate and otherwise lie for upscale food, vacations, and homes.

In the case of the author of this piece, well, he's just clueless. Not everyone can be a star, lol.

They want the power to control your every deed, word and thought.

You can fancy it up but in the end that is what they want.

I remember.

When I and the other kids were walking to school back in the pre-forced-bussing 1960s, along the route through the neighborhood were numerous “old” men (hah, younger than I am now) who’d been and done and lived the sacrifices necessary to preserve liberty.

They’d be out mowing their lawns, and tending their flowers and gardens... and watching over us. They were our leaders in Boy Scouts, and at church, and elsewhere.

They, were why it was safe to walk to school.

They covet it.

That’s why the 10th commandment, along with the other 9, is such an accursed to them.
