America: We had a good run while it lasted
wnd.com ^ | 6/19/2015 | Burt Prelutsky

Posted on 06/19/2015 6:14:54 AM PDT by rktman

Every time you turn around these days, there’s a new Clintonian scandal in the news. Among conservatives, the scandals raise hackles, while among liberals, they don’t even result in a raised eyebrow.

It’s unfortunate that liberals only care what you say, not what you do, but, unfortunately, that’s the only way it can work with that crowd. Once you sign on to be a Democrat, the contract demands that you never dare question why, for instance, Barack Obama has kept all of his documents under lock and key or why Bill Clinton has never served time for sexual assault, accepting bribes or fudging on his income taxes.

So long as politicians on the left utter the customary pieties about urban blacks, illegal aliens, Muslims, public schools, homosexuals, unions and single women, while blaspheming religious people, corporations, gun owners and conservatives, they will continue to hold their own in national elections.

Rock on Burt. Always enjoy your articles. Maybe there's still some hope remaining. We shall see since you can't tell the players apart anymore. Left is right and right is left. Down is up, up is down. Pretty sad state of affairs but all going according to plan.

Dims are just corrupt. Of course RINO’s are corrupt too, but in a different way.

It took hard work and planning for liberals to turn a proud and free people into what we’re becoming today. We dismissed them as silly and their positions as jokes.

It was a mistake.

We should have been examining their tactic - questioning why they were creating victim groups. Were they running psych ops from the start?

How did that happen?

Didn’t we notice the push to accept illegals was part of a larger plan? Or that the group-think behind simple name calling ( like xenophobic) was in fact a highly sophisticated technique? They put us where we are today. That doesn’t mean we have to stay in this spot - or that we have to give up. We need to identify what they’re doing and counter it. WE MUST NOT allow them to define the playing field.

We need people like Burt Prelutsky - he must NOT give up.

The leftists have destroyed reality so much that anything associated with Republicans is hateful & anything the Democrats do is just fine. Witness the fact that our dem legislature felt quite at ease about voting down Republican ethics bills...

Not that these would’ve made much difference anyway.

Pieties imply a deity.

In this case it is the god of hell

And in the meantime I tell everybody the truth, but I have been placed on double secret probation here.

What happened to the United States went exactly according to the KGB plan as outlined by KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov. The Democratic party was infiltrated, and then the plan was easy to implement.

Crap. I used to hate double secret probation. Lucky for me that I’m old enough to now place it on others. :>}

If we could go back in time we should have taken the Nazi mind control ‘scientists’ rather than the rocket scientists... Or we should have shot them all...

The left is close to branding ALL conservative thought as an “ism” & once they are finished doing this....it’s truly over.

The Clintons are not America. However, as long as the most beloved and respected and clamored-for leaders of America are among the greatest grifters of all time, Burt is right on the money and not far off at all.

David Frum of all people correctly referred to the Greatest Generation as the “Statist Generation”. Besides giving us the Boomers, they also sired the belief in civic culture as religion, as well as the welfare state.

Fairly long article but I just kind of think of myself as a “leftover”. :>}

I would recommend to all the gloom and doomers, the nay sayers, the negativists, and pessimists to go once in a while to Forbes.com to see what Americans are doing to build the future.

Believe it or don’t but young entrepreneurs are disregarding all the hullabaloo over what is lost and proceeding with building their own futures, new stuff, new business, new wealth.

It is a real pleasure to read about their struggle and accomplishment........ now, today!

Um, you forgot the courts and, more importantly, We the People.

It was the courts, whom self-decreed “We are the arbiters of the Constitution”, when it really (and always been) We the People. It was the courts, terrified of ‘packing’ that gave way to the Socialism/Communism of the early 20th century...more worried about themselves, their stature, status and ‘prestige’.

It was We the People whom allowed unconstitutional tyranny to develop: income taxes, SS, medicare, welfare, o’care, TSA, EPA, ‘gun control’.

The DEM takeover was just the icing on the cake.
