I can’t help but think - REALLY, I can’t - that this is far, far different from us sitting around in our living rooms and at kitchen tables in the sixties/seventies discussing current affairs with friends and relatives and lamenting on “Where is this country going?” We survived THAT. I don’t think we’re going to survive THIS!

I hate being this pessimistic and cynical but there’s just too much evil going on and TOO LITTLE is being done to stop it. Maybe we WILL witness the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST and maybe we won’t. That is all that is between us and this evil.

Don’t we all know it would have been (would be) different if we didn’t have that oaf in the WH with his teenybopper advisors? Where on earth do they think they’re going to end up when this evil takes over all the countries of the world? It’s like the song from “My Fair Lady:”

Words, Words, Words, I’m so sick of Words!!!!!

Words are not going to end these monsters OR Iran. We have the pacifists from the sixties/seventies in office now.

Islam always destroys knowledge.


Because it takes ignorance to buy into that crap cult.

...ISIS members burn the Mosul public library.

Hey, a book here, a book there...

This is SOP for a 7th century culture to remain in the 7th century.

That, and the subjugation of their women.

Idiots.

Nothing paralyzes Islam with fear more than freedom of thought.


They don’t won’t people seeking truth.

I remember reading in a early edition of RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT about some moslem ruler in the middle ages, who always traveled and had a large library.

One day he was killed, and the other moslems piled his thousands of books in huge piles, almost like small hills, and allowed them to disintegrate over the years in the sesert.

Just wait, Obama will come up with some reason why something Christians did a thousand years ago is worse. I can hear it now. “Lest you get on your high horse, the Gnostic gospels were suppressed in the name of Christ. And as I’ve stated before, these Islamic State guys are not actually Islamic so this is just vandalism anyway, comparable to some schoolkids sowing their wild oats. No comparison to christian thugs at all!”
