Quote HistoryQuoted: Doesn't matter if you are a "Trumper", libertarian, conservative, "never trumper", neo-con, capitalist, etc. As of Wednesday, we will all be Plan accordingly Sadly, I had to fix it for you..... "I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history." - Francis, Cardinal George |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I worked with a Vietnamese man who was old enough to live through the US involvement and pull out from Vietnam. He would always point to a black chair in his office, and say "That chair is red". And then he'd tell me that the Communist Government would just repeat something untrue until everyone started to believe it. A guy I know that came here from Poland in the 60s he is 80 + today. But he has said a lot of the same. The food store had someone in charge of keeping the shelves stocked. But as you would guess they would steal much for themselves. They would point to an empty shelf and say what you are looking for is right there even though it isn't. You couldn't question either. You could not walk in public with closed hands or hands in you pocket. They had to be open and down. He is afraid of what he sees today. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's fascinating, hearing tales of people who have lived under hard core socialism and communism, and how things today parallel their experiences that they fled to America to escape. People who vote this stupid shit in just don't know or appreciate how good they've got it here. But but they are handing out free money. |

Almost all those guys are wearing black hoodies or black jackets. The unofficial color of BLM and Antifa. No other colors really in there. Sorry, just my cynical talking. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Vietnamese guy I work with, he and his family and friends are all Trump supporters. He says he has seen all of this before. We are fooked. One of my friends is dating a woman that had to flee Venezuela when it went socialist and she said that the switch and inevitable downfall is happening almost exactly the same here. |

Great speech. America is the greatest country in the world, if we can keep it. 33:14 long. Many comparisons to our current political situation. Guess what point she was driving home at time interval 30:06? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: One thing to consider about these "revolutions" is that in just about any case I can think of, it has been people from the countryside that have been the insurgents. I can't recall a single case where it comes from the cities. The current "unrest" in the US is generated in just a few big cities. Those people are fine running around in gangs intimidating others - then going home to order take-out, watch Netflix and gabbble on Twitter for a while. They are not the stuff of a real revolutionary army. A few core institutions in those cities, too. |
