That's the kind of smackdown you usually see delivered in some ham handed Robin Williams role. (only in reverse) But it's real life. What's really scary is the way that the left driven noise machine has been warning us for so many years about some imagined right wing theocracy taking away all our freedoms, man. Peculiar how the way to escape the racistsexist homophobeislamophobe juggernaut is to implement speech codes, thought codes- in short, the whole ugly morass of political correctness. You want see the future of America if the libtards get more power? Watch those videos. And England is far, far worse. I remember the early days of the war on tobacco. It's funny how few people were bothered by so-called "second hand smoke" until the mid eighties or so. Now you can't even smoke outdoors in some places. <I>Outdoors</I>. Or how many people never ever realized that smoking was bad for them until they found out they could sue the tobacco companies for their decision to burn three or more packs a day.<BR/>Now it's global warming. Just wait and see how many things will be restricted, prohibited or taxed in the name of saving the earth. Just wait.<BR/><BR/>JWMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-22841451086953407582008-01-24T17:10:00.000-08:002008-01-24T17:10:00.000-08:00Elephant - oh my, yes *swoon*It seems there aren't...Elephant - oh my, yes *swoon*<BR/>It seems there aren't nearly enough men like that in the public eye these days.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-23912970261941976592008-01-24T17:04:00.000-08:002008-01-24T17:04:00.000-08:00My heart especially goes pitter-patter when he say...My heart especially goes pitter-patter when he says "...and I hope I call her a thug" in the closing arguments video.

Considering the role the USA plays in the great spiritual/historical drama - it's the last spiritual gasp, so to speak - if socialism/fascism does become the normative here, as no doubt Hillary intends it to be, it would basically spell universal spiritual failure, on the collective level at any rate. You know, a final slap in the face of the divine progressive schematic. <BR/><BR/>Severe consequences would have to be coming, one way or the other.
