At Troy, Laocoon warned them about the Horse. But the snakes in the media got Laocoon -- and they got his children too. After that, everyone in Troy thought the Horse was a swell thing.

Ancient Troy. Ever wonder about the internal discussions that went on in that city/civilization when The Horse showed up outside its gates? The Trojans had just survived a multi-year war and were emerging victorious, with the besieging Greek forces divided and demoralized, and ready to head home. In Troy, one can only guess at the level of acrimonious discussion about whether to take the supposed equine present into the city.
Is it too much of a stretch to say that today’s conservatives (the real ones) would be advising against opening the gates, while our Leftist overlords would be extolling bringing the wooden equine in? Doesn’t bringing The Horse inside the gates sound a bit like open borders, or sucking up to China, or castrating your military’s fighting spirit and resources, or kneecapping your industrial and manufacturing base, or stoking racial upheaval, or brainwashing our children?
So, were Troy’s greatest enemies Greeks? Or were they Trojans – specifically the feckless morons (aka “useful idiots”) who said, “Open the gates”? Now, jump forward to America: Is the greatest enemy of the United States the CCP or Vladimir Putin, or is the corporate boards of Google, Facebook, Apple, Disney, Progressive Insurance, and other “woke” corporations; the NBA and professional sports generally; Hollywood; the Mainstream Media; the typical university administration and faculty; the school boards in any Democrat municipality; most of organized religion’s prelates; and last, but not least, the Democrat Party?
After watching my country gutted for over a year by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, where should my anger turn? To Xi Jinping and the CCP? Or to Anthony Fauci and the biomedical “Swamp” who seem to have made the research possible? Or to the New York Times and Washington Post (and NPR, ABC, etc) that ridiculed Senator Cotton, President Trump, and Secretary Pompeo

Traitorous Demonicrats!
BINGO!!
At Troy, Laocoon warned them about the Horse. But the snakes in the media got Laocoon -- and they got his children too. After that, everyone in Troy thought the Horse was a swell thing.
So, who is equivalent of Poseidon in the USA?
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
A great quote from a work of historical fiction from A Pillar of Iron (1965) by Taylor Caldwell
NOT CICERO!!!!
RE: A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.
And it cannot survive a citizenry that cannot discern the existence of such treason and continue voting such people into office.
The virus may have originated in a Chinese lab, but we inflicted the hysteria and needless closures on ourselves. Rather than cripple themselves, the Chinese declared victory and moved on, laughing at us on the way.
And their assistants, the TransRepublicans
Stop blaming/hating Democrats for covid consequences and the 2020 Steal. Focus your rage on where it belongs -- to the traitorous RINOs.
Vote out every RINO who must face a primary in 2022 and replace them with MAGA patriots, especially in the state legislatures.
I'll take "What are Democrats?" for the Win, Alex!
The Establishment, not the Democrats.
McConnell could have ended this. He could have worked with Jordan and Paul on that, but they’ve been out there essentially all by themselves.
McCarthy. They’re all culpable. Not just the D’s.
Just hang them all. Let God sort it out.
Why won’t you give our Chicom Collaborating Democrat leaders any credit for this “plague”? They funded and prophesied it’s coming since 2010
—” it cannot survive a citizenry that cannot discern the existence of such treason”
We will see how this plays out.
Also:
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy”
Said AL Tytler, an old Scottsman.
America’s greatest enemy - HINT: It’s NOT China
Look at every democrat ran state and city and what Biden and ass clowns are doing.
01-06-2021 was an unarmed peaceful mistake.
America’s greatest enemy is the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party controls enemies 2 and 3. To wit} The media and the disciples of the Democrat Party. Enemies 2 and 3 are all Demonically possessed.
