Liberals Awake from 8-Year Moral Coma
American Thinker ^ | January 7, 2016 | Jeffrey T. Brown

Posted on 01/07/2017 5:40:20 AM PST by Kaslin

For eight years, the voices of what passes for morality on the left were utterly silent as the values of generations of Americans were flushed down the drain. Those Americans whose desires, experiences and values differed from the leftist elite were treated as worthless garbage, no longer necessary to the imminent liberal utopia, except as a source of revenue. Christianity was treated like a virus to be extinguished, or revised and controlled to accommodate leftist ideology. Speech that offended the shameless was branded as hateful, and those daring to openly object to the onslaught of vice and immorality were falsely smeared with every vile epithet the liberals could conjure. Rights were relegated to what Democrats were willing to grant their enemies, but we were never going to be entitled to privileges they reserved to themselves.

Our nation has been assaulted for eight long years by those who contributed nothing of substance to its successes, but were eager to pillage its resources to fund and advance their political agenda. Every means possible to offend and marginalize their political opposition was employed, so that decent people were called racists, “phobes,” haters, deniers, liars, morons, bullies, and many unprintable things, all for wishing to have a say in what was being done to them by the left, and for possibly stopping the moral, philosophical and physical violence that have always been tools of leftist overthrow.

They’ve awoken from a bacchanal, drunkenly worshipping at the feet Obama, so maybe a Barackchanal. Voraciously stealing the vitality of America, living off of America’s success as they stole the good and called it bad. They’ve tried to kill the salt of the earth as they elevated and adored evil.

Good can triumph but the hard work is not yet done and we have to be vigilant and continue to fight for the victory we’ve won. We can’t let them, along with the media, demoralize and de-legitimize Trump and ourselves.

Liberals treated Americans whose desires, experiences and values differed from the leftist elite as worthless garbage, no longer necessary to the imminent liberal utopia, except as a source of revenue. Christianity was treated like a virus to be extinguished, or revised and controlled to accommodate leftist ideology.

The disdain Clinton and her team heaped upon believers and the trashing of religion had a huge effect on voters, IMHO.

Bordering on fascism, Hillary derisively said on video: "deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”

A classic Hillary gem made in response to the leaked Catholic Spring emails.

--------------------------------------

REFERENCE WikiLeaks emails appears to show Hillary Clinton’s campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri joking with a confidant about Catholics and evangelicals in emails sent to John Podesta, chairman of Clinton’s campaign.

Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri, who ran communications for the liberal think tank Center for American Progress that Podesta founded, responded to emails from think tank fellow John Halpin who noted a 2011 report in the New Yorker about News Corp chief executive Rupert Murdoch and Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson raising their children Catholic.

“Many of the most powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic (many converts) from the [Supreme Court] and think tanks to the media and social groups,” Halpin wrote in the 2011 email, according to WikiLeaks.

“It’s an amazing bastardization of the faith. They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy.”

Palmieri responded that she believes Murdoch, Thomson and many other conservatives are Catholic because they think it’s “the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion.” “Their rich friends wouldn’t understand if they became evangelicals,” she wrote.

Podesta did not respond in the email thread.

Many don’t realize the scope of what happened in the fundamental transformation of America until the path of its destruction is laid out as a total plan like the author has done.

Interesting.... the only time I have heard that phrase in the past was in describing a psychopath.

I guess if the shoe fits......
