The Weekly Standard, Done

Years ago I was led astray by the likes of those who wrote for this rag and The National Review.

They called themselves conservatives but they never helped conserve anything.

They promoted giving away the farm in trade regardless of the cost to Americans, promoted massive illegal and legal immigration regardless of the cost to Americans, promoted a globalist agenda regardless of the cost to Americans, promoted foreign wars of aggression with tenuous if any connections to our own national security, regardless of the lives lost.

May God have mercy on their souls.

Good riddance.



For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Agreed,  good riddance.   Neocon trash.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

The demise of the Weekly Standard absolutely breaks my heart.  What am I going to use to wrap fish?
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

New York Times is still in business.  Plenty of liberal rags used by billionaires to promote an agenda no matter how much money they lose.
