“Our erosion is not the result of poverty and want, but of leisure and excess. “

It’s the disease called AFFLUENZA. It causes you to not appreciate how well you have it and who made it possible.

The final stage of the disease is you will have nothing.

Kamala Harris is a wordsmith.

Russian collusion really happened.

So did Russian laptop disinformation.

And 51 former intelligence authorities bravely came forward to offer their expertise in certifying that Hunter’s laptop was cooked up in Moscow.

Christopher Steele’s dossier was mostly true, in the fashion of Claudine Gay’s dissertation and Barack Obama’s memoir.

And weirdest? MSNBC bimbos and pretentious 'men' believe all the above. Just ask the Morning Joe sycophants... what fools.

It took them roughly 125 + years, but the “progressive” movement of the late 1890s has just about finished its “long march” through America.

God help us if We the People are not able to stop it in November!

“In sum, American civilization has been turned upside down, and we have a rendezvous soon with the once unthinkable and unimaginable”.

That’s a good and accurate summary.

“ And that’s to acknowledge our True Savior.”

In a nation where the most important and decisive political issue is ensuring that it is legal for women to kill their own children?

I don’t think that kind of reflection is within the capability of this population. I think the situation that applied in Sodom & Gomorrah is far more applicable in this country.

It started when JFK was murdered. Then your points happened.

“Kissing Black Ass is an existential activity for Democrats”

That’s part of how they keep most of them on the Plantation.

The public is baffled: is the Left playing chicken with us? Is the strategy to “gorge the beast,” thereby demanding even higher federal taxes, which, combined with many state taxes, now exceed 50 percent of one’s income?

No worries, they'll just pass laws to confiscate everyone's 401k.

You remind me of the joke:
How many pancakes does it take to cover a dog house.
6 because bananas don't float.

It always happens slowly and then all at once.

Precisely! The rot has been slowly happening since Lyndon Johnson. The avalanche began when Obama came onto the scene. Beck tried to tell us that but no one believed him. Thought he was a kook.....
