Corruption by politicians is a function of making the office without term limits, making it a full time occupation and paying them too much!

You WILL comply.

And that’s an order.

Wonder if this applies to the Mexican flag?

After all we fought and defeated Mexico just like the South and that was well over 100 years ago.

People will argue that the Mexican flag is part of American culture. I argue that the Confed flag is no different.

This is beyond outrageous - just one more step in erasing our history and historic sites. Eventually all we are allowed is the left’s fabricated version of events.

And in the 1950’s we would criticize the Soviet Union for revising history and erasing undesirable individuals from it.

My how we have evolved.

Huffman, a Californian, got his law degree from the same college that allowed MLK, Jr. to skate with a doctoral thesis that was primarily plagiarized.

Yes, the painting of Lenin with his comrades. The comrades disappeared from the painting one by one as new versions were made.

Term limits will not stop corrupt people from electing corrupt politicians. This has become a nation of cowards, unwilling to risk anything in opposition to tyranny and demands to reject God. The flag is just more of the façade being peeled away.

So how long before we’re seeing the disgusting rainbow flag on the graves in federal cemeteries?

Once the ‘Confederate’ flag is gone from all public places, all references to the Civil War erased, and no one remembers any more, then all our problems will go away....................

oh goody! Can we all go out and play then?

Good morning.

We are literally living in a dystopian novel, a kind of combination between 1984, Brave New World, and Foundation.

I posted last week that Animal Farm, 1984, and Atlas Shrugged have become documentaries.

I think Foundation and Empire also fits, because it appears society is actually devolving.

These are the times when any sane politician should vote present like their fearless leader.

Still working to start #DumpBoehner thread.
