Truth.
Being a realist, without trying to deliberately rain on the parade... i predict that in 2024, after 8 years of MAGA, there will still be MS13 in the urban streets, sanctuary-city-lawless-homeless-drugster-disease-zones, bad actors on Wall Street, commies running the humanities colleges, and yes, to our shame, porn as one of the top 5 internet websites as the norm.

WE need a national revival, we need a new way to do Billy Graham’s Crusades or something. Then maybe a chance to have greatness again.

They weren’t simply burning American flags during the Vietnam War, they were proudly carrying North Vietnamese military flags. They weren’t anti-war, they were pro-Communist rallies. They wanted the Communists to win.

Anti-imperialism? They didn’t mind Cuba, China, and the Soviets coming to assist North Vietnam’s war effort.

American patriotism has just reached a record low entirely because of Democrats, of whom only 22% say they’re “extremely proud” of their country.

Glad he said this. This is ALL on the heads of the Rat party, ALL of it. It's like we have a political party in the USA that represents enemies of the USA, it's unreal. This Colon Kaeperndickhead, has he ever thought about the kind of life he would have had had he grown up in his "hometown of Ghana"?? He actually called it that on his Facebook. He said he went to Ghana to "visit his people".

You are the worst thread hijacker of all time.
You should only post on religious threads.

"And weren’t people burning flags over Vietnam?"

And carrying the enemy flag - Vietcong and NVA flags.

Imagine how much fun that was for us who were risking our lives every day against those enemies.

Damn Leftists.

Because Obama agitated millions into believing they should fundamentally transform an immoral country. And this paper, who helped him, is too stupid to understand it.

We didn’t lose it. We, the American public, were talked out of it.

Can you imagine what would have happened during WWII if some idiots/traitors carried the Nazi flag or the Imperial Japanese flag in the streets while our young men were overseas fighting?

I'm still furious that our government and our people did absolutely nothing about the support of our enemies during our war.
