On 22 Jan. 1908, in a Cheetham, Manchester speech entitled "SOCIALISM: 'ALL YOURS IS MINE!', with the grandson's introduction: "In the ranks of the Labour Party there were to be found many hard-line Socialist, to whose presence in the Liberal coalition Churchill took the strongest exception, while anxious not to alienate the working-class vote.", Churchill said: "The Socialist - the extreme and revolutionary party of Socialists - are very fond of telling us they are reviving in modern days the best principles of the Christian era. They consider they are the political embodiment of Christianity, though, to judge by the language which some of them use and the spirit of envy, hatred, and malice with which they go about their work, you would hardly imagine they had studied the teaching of the Founder of Christianity with the attention they profess to have given to the subject. - (Hear, hear.) But there is one great difference between Socialists of the Christian era and those of which Mr Victor Gray son is the apostle. The Socialism of the Christian era was based on the idea that "all mine is yours', but the Socialism of Mr Grayson is based on the idea that 'all yours is mine'. (Cheers)

There is no happiness in Leftville. As Dennis Prager often says: “Everything the Left touches they destroy.”

Comey apparently got to be Obama’s FBI director’s job b/c he is supposed to be smart.
But he testified to Congress 245 times that he ‘could not recall’ details of events unfolding round him.

Say what? American are supposed to simply shrug off Comey’s ignorance of serious crimes that impacted our safety and security?

I dont think so.

As Obama’s FBI Director, Comey didn’t touch:
<><> Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch on the tarmac,
<><> IRS and Lois Lerner,
<><> Eric Holder and Obama’s Fast and Furious,
<><> Hillary and Benghazi,
<><> Susan Rice’s Benghazi lies,
<><> The Clinton Foundation corruption ad infinitum,
<><> The Clintons’ Uranium 1 Deal,
<><> Hillary’s private server,
<><> Susan Rice’s Unmaskings,
<><> John Podesta’s Russian deals,
<><> Huma and Cheryl Mills’ self-service on our dime at State.
<><> The missing $6 billion at Hillary’s State Dept,
<><> Huma’s cousin pigging out at the State Dept trough,
<><> Sid Blumenthal’s $$haul from the State Dept,
<><>Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame’s hubby) helping himself to the State Dept cookie jar,
<><> Obama’s Foundation looting State of $100 million “to teach Muslim girls in Morocco,”
<><> Secy Hillary’s Millenium Challenge Corp slush fund.
<><> Obama and Hillary’s Third World mentality-— using the govt apparat against American citizens
<><> Obama removing WH govt electronic equipment to his residence
<><> Obama Hillary and Huma colluding to remove State Dept evidence.

In our poverty stricken early years, my wife and I used Sunday comic sections of the newspaper. Of course I cancelled my subscription to that liberal screed years ago.

“Leftism is caused by envy”

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. Leftism is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.

Satan is smarter than we are, and he never sleeps. Those over whom he has the most influence are like maniacally evil energizer demons.

Every once in a while one of them escapes, as David Horowitz did, but who knows how or why?

Anyway, Satan knows that leftism is bad for humanity. That’s why he invented it, and that’s why he flim-flams those he can into trying to force it on us all.

Leftists, especially the radical progressive leftists, are seriously brain damaged in so many ways.

I’ve said it before; they all need a frontal lobotomy to make them acceptable for public consumption.

"wrapping paper is recycled multiple times"

Everything about liberals is recycled, especially ideas.

Don't forget they need to stop breathing at the same time to have the desired effect.

There’s nothing that says,”I care” like a brown-bag paper wrapped gift with a dried up orange peel on it.

Theses people are crazy.
