"A read well worth the investment in time: Rousseau, Guevara, Marx and More: The Moral and Intellectual Bankruptcy of the Left
Hayek observed that the committed collectivist must hold to no morals of his own because the only thing that matters is the success of the plan and loyalty to the leader (which are one and the same).
Such is true.
Such is true.
We are witnessing this in the Democrat agenda - nothing must stand in the way of their plans and there is no law, rule or moral code that cannot be broken in pursuit of that plan.
The only definition they have for evil is opposition to their agenda.
If you remember, Obama said this quiet part out loud in a 2004 interview Obama did with Cathleen Falsani of the Chicago Sun-Times:
FALSANI: “Do you believe in sin?”
OBAMA: “Yes.”
FALSANI: “What is sin?”
OBAMA: “Being out of alignment with my values.”
This exchange is far more revealing than was intended...Read all!

Reward lies, get more lies!----------Fake Indians: All of a sudden, American Indian population has surged 86.5%, according to Census - American Thinker
- Sen. Liz Warren, an early adopter on the fake Indian front, suddenly has a lot of company.
Get a load of this from Legal Insurrection:
The Native American population in the U.S. grew by a staggering 86.5% between 2010 and 2020, according to the latest U.S. Census – a rate demographers say is impossible to achieve without immigration.
Birth rates among Native Americans don’t explain the massive rise in numbers. And there certainly is no evidence of an influx of Native American expatriates returning to the U.S.
Instead, individuals who previously identified as white are now claiming to be Native American.
This growing movement has been captured by terms like “pretendian” and “wannabe.”
Liberals destroy EVERYTHING they touch!

"There's a national touring company of Oklahoma that's hitting Chicago next month.
I was interested at first.
Then I read their website.
Now, remember Oklahoma - this is the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical - happy, cheerful, beautiful - one of the hokeyist, most fun shows in Broadway history.

...Now check out this advertising blurb about this "reimagining"... (note: remember that whenever a show says it's "reimagined," odds are 90% against it being good)...
From the touring company website:
"Stripped down to reveal the darker psychological truths at its core, Daniel Fish’s re-orchestrated and re-imagined production of this classic Rodgers & Hammerstein musical tells a story of a community circling its wagons against an outsider, and the violence of the frontier that shaped America."
Violence?

Prominent Democratic lawyer predicts 2022 litigation aimed at removing Republican House of Representatives members from their seats - TheBlaze:
His prediction, therefore, is more than idle speculation, and may in fact be a trial balloon for an actual Democratic strategy.
On Twitter earlier this week, Elias said, "My prediction for 2022: Before the midterm election, we will have a serious discussion about whether individual Republican House Members are disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment from serving in Congress. We may even see litigation."
I think we lost him years ago!-----Dad tells Biden, 'Let's go Brandon' during Christmas Eve call
Dad tells Biden, 'Let's go Brandon' during Christmas Eve call
"Things went off script when President Biden and first lady Jill Biden spoke with children and NORAD officials who are tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
A dad who identified as Jared from Oregon closed his family's call with the Bidens by saying, "Let's go Brandon," a phrase that disparages the president.
...It's now used to mock both Biden and the media for not understanding those who oppose the president, and as a euphemism for that more vulgar chant.
"Let's go Brandon, I agree," Biden responded.
The president followed up by asking where Jared's home was, but no one responded.
"I think we lost him," Biden said."...Audio at link.
