There are three things that America will be known for 2,000 years from now: the Constitution, jazz music, and Baseball. They’re the three most beautifully designed things this culture’s ever produced. - Dr. Gerald Early, Washington University
Well don’t count on it, seeing how things are going. We all know about the left’s deep disdain for the Constitution, verbalized by none other than Barack Hussein Obama who described it as a “charter of negative liberties.” He went on to complain that it
“says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf.”**
Yes, precisely. Those limitations were intended as our Constitution’s greatest strength; unfortunately they are what the left hates most about it. And they intend to change it around to the Obamunists worldview of government as your lord and salvation.
And jazz: by all accounts it is now the least favorite musical genre in the country. Which strikes me as strange not simply because I happen to like jazz but because it’s distinct musical style was developed and deeply identified with the black experience in America, a cultural thing which is greatly venerated in all other arenas. The cold sad fact is that jazz has been displaced by hip hop/rap – a “musical” genre that is far more about the black “culture” than it is music.
And now baseball: America’s pastime. Well apparently we can’t have that anymore either. Probably because, like the Constitution, it started out too white. Now it is being used, like everything, as cudgel in the hands of the woke left.
Barack, a lefty with a bat even as a kiddo
Because we are not allowed to have a game that is just a game anymore. Football is about BLM and baseball is about voters’ rights…or something.

At issue are laws recently passed by Georgia, targeting what critics said were abuses that took place during previous elections. The bill's critics claim that it will disproportionately affect people of color and other marginalized groups. The primary complaint is that voters of color do not have access to government issued IDs, which will now be required to vote. However, the law has provisions for those IDs to be available at no cost. – Post Millennial
I will guarantee you that none of the “disproportionately affected people of color and other marginalized groups” have any problem presenting whatever documentation is required in order to secure any of the other (multiple) governmental benefits the federal government is mandated “to do on their behalf.”
So I suspect the mockingbird media will excoriate President Trump as a “racist” for this statement released late yesterday condemning Major League Baseball's decision to pull the All-Star Game from Atlanta:
“Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections. Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!” - President Donald Trump
President Donald Trump: Like him or not, he’s still a straight shooter
But in answer to my own question: Is there nothing the left can’t destroy? In a word, no.
Pitches left too. Like a girly man.
**FOOTNOTE Obama was wrong about this too, the powers specifically granted to the federal government in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution are: “the power to coin money, to regulate commerce, to declare war, to raise and maintain armed forces, and to establish a Post Office.”

Nope.
There’s nothing the government can’t destroy once it gets its paws on it.
“says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government...... can do to you” There, I corrected it to what Obama really meant to say.
The Left feeds off the unbelievable stupidity of non-Leftists who roll over and allow them to conquer. No one stands up is in public office and calls them out for being the fools they are.
This idea of males “identifying” as females and competing on female teams is a screaming example of the utter stupidity that has taken the ascendancy in this country.
No, there is nothing the left cannot destroy. Everybody get ready and prepare to be amazed. And, appalled.
“... jazz has been displaced by hip hop/rap – a “musical” genre that is far more about the black “culture” than it is music...”
Yup! My nephew thought he’d play some ‘jazz’ for me.... and I told him it was just ‘over-produced Motown’.
He gets it, now. I played some of my Lester Young, Sonny Stitt, Stanley Turrentine, Miles Davis, Johnny Hartman, etc. for him.😉
Liberals cannot destroy God, no matter how hard they try (and they do try). That’s really why they’re so scared and act like bullies. They think this life is all they’ve got.
“... jazz has been displaced by hip hop/rap – a “musical” genre that is far more about the black “culture” than it is music...”
“hiphop/rap” is NOT music.
“hiphop/rap” IS racist hate speech accompanied by a computer bass program...and it is absolutely disgusting.
I keep a running list of things liberals destroyed:
College
Dating
Halloween
Football
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
Rock and roll
Hamburgers
Comedy
Parades
Olympics
It goes on forever.
Someone said once” If you got a bunch of white people together and asked them to invent something to make black people look stupid... they would invent rap”.
They can destroy everything physical and the minds of those not strong enough to fight them off. Like all totalitarian movements, the mind is all one has left.
Sadly, I’m somewhat frequently in a “hiphop/rap” area and see the inner animal of the “Bell Curve” culture.
The blasting of bass crap at excessive db levels from their car stereos is beyond repulsive and lacks any respect for the people around those narcissistic animals.
Usually when I hear it, it's some white dude blasting it.
Reality101:
90% black animals
10% whites pretending to be black animals
That is our collective weakness.
That’s why they (dems) are so hot for identity politics & “racism”. You need only to look at their plantation denizens- they dress alike, worship the same Hollywood meat puppets, etc.
But we may have no choice. If the leftists continue the attack on Conservatives or “Whites” in general, there will not be enough people to dig their graves.
A 10% pretend stereotype....and NOT representative of the 90% animals.
Better question: Is there nothing that cancer can’t destroy given the Left is simply a cancer upon this country and I am not seeing any type chemo or cancer treatments that will rid of us of their continued destruction of America?
Unfortunately, these jerks drive by my home at all hours and blast that garbage from their car.
I wonder why police don’t charge them with disturbing the peace
