Couldn’t happen to a more deserving city.

Don't forget San Fran, and Seattle.

It’s weird to think now, but there was a brief time in America in 1984 when the two most beloved male athletes in America were gay men.

Most beloved athletes? Lewis and Lougayness? What are you smoking?

I don't think so. Try Montana, Bird, Gretzky, etc.

All a “creation” of the media. They (Satanists/Marxists) have controlled the media/arts/schools for a hundred years and so their power to “influence” is almost absolute-—since they now take up 95 % of children’s time (if not more)-—children who hardly have any contact with mom and dad (whose morality is very wishy-washy anyway since they eschew Knowledge and pursue the physical, rather then mental stimuli—who live in an “artificial” world which sends mixed messages (lies) to little children 24/7).

Good and Evil and “heros” are manufactured by media-—just like in Hitler’s Germany—which learned from America’s Hollywood.

People who practice Vice should never be “glorified” to young children. It normalizes the Vice. Good and Evil can never be blurred for the young who need to develop character.

Up until 1970, it wasn’t allowed for the public square to promote Vice as “good”......which changed when the Supreme Court ejected obscenity laws (which is not “Just” since anything which dehumanizes man destroys Virtue in government-—and “Virtue” is absolutely necessary for Freedom.

We now have the public square and our “Justice” system promoting Vice 24/7 to young children-—to normalize the Frankenstein world they want to create-—NWO-—which is right around the corner with people who actually will believe that Evil is Good, Vice is celebrated——what follows is “Slavery is Freedom”.

“Will it include the National AIDS hall of “fame” as well?”

Magic Johnson will be the first inductee.
