"If not checked, the Left will lead the world into a hell of decadence and depravity."

Agreed, though what they'll wind up with is an entire world with all the social amenities of Saudi Arabia.

And the Leftists will say, "I hate it. I wish we hadn't destroyed America." That is...the Leftists who survive the shariah.

There is no truth in the story of "water on the ropes" which is supposed to have occurred during the raising of the obelisk, the work on which was, however, suspended during the summer. On the top, in place of the golden urn, said to contain the ashes of Caesar, was placed a bronze emblem of Pope Sixtus containing a relic of the cross. At the base are four bronze lions supported by a high pedestal.

The Obelisk: repositioned by Fontana, September 10, 1586

(see, now that's an example of desecration)
