Obviously, there’s something to his argument. When we have culture in which the LGBT crowd and the abortionists have been able to use the courts, rich corporations and institutions like the educational system to bully the rest of the population into accepting their perversion, you can certainly see that there are flaws in the West’s liberal order.

At this point, it’s almost a cliche to point to John Adams’ famous quote: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” And, yet, that really is the case! As morality and religion have faded in the U.S. and Europe, the outcomes we’re seeing haven’t been all that great.

He’s right, of course. I use this language when describing unions. They served a purpose at one time, but are now obsolete-outlived it’s purpose.

Same with Democrats.

Way to go, Vlad. I wish more Americans could think critically .

Yep. When microagressions against transexuals is considered an actual point of concern, the ideology has jumped the shark.

The goal of socialism is communism - VI Lenin

That goal has already been achieved so the first step on the socialist road, liberalism, is superfluous.

Bingo.

Hey Putin, how’s socialism working out?

Hey Bernie, the collection agency for socialism is communism.
