I think that if we are totally honest and know our recent history, we can easily conclude that if Paul Ryan had done his job representing the people and not the swamp we would not be where we are today. Paul Ryan did all he could to subvert the agenda designed to Keep America Great. Thus we have this attitude so proudly displayed by the ignorant New York masses.
I knew they’re bat shit crazy but that segment brings it home hard.

With everything going on right now, I can see the value of a diary. Names, dates, what was said, what was done by who to whom, for historical accuracy and accountability. Minitrue shouldn’t have sole say.

These words ring true today to describe those who are fighting so hard to cling to power.
From Cromwell’s time of civil war.
“…
In friendship false, implacable in hate,
Resolved to ruin or to rule the state; 25
To compass this the triple bond he broke,
The pillars of the public safety shook,
And fitted Israel for a foreign yoke;
Then, seized with fear, yet still affecting fame,
Usurped a patriot’s all-atoning name. 30
So easy still it proves in factious times
With public zeal to cancel private crimes.
How safe is treason and how sacred ill,
Where none can sin against the people’s will,
Where crowds can wink and no offence be known, 35
Since in another’s guilt they find their own!
…”

Yes, Joe Krill, Ryan is a pathetic RINO. So glad that jackass is gone. Yes, some people hate Donald Trump more than they love America. Been that way for awhile. Sad.

My heart leaps up when I see Dryden quoted here. Very fine indeed. And still pertinent as well.

Those people who would allow millions to die in exchange for Trump to lose? How about if you asked them, “Would you yourself be willing to die in order for Trump to lose?”
No, of course not! They’d trade a million lives but not their own. Silly hypocrites.

Used the chainsaw to cut 8′ off the skinny end of a power pole, then used the auger to drill a 10″ hole 3′ into the ground. Stood that cut off pole down into the hole, plumbed it then back filled it. Almost ready. Used the long tape to find a spot exactly 100′ away. The top of that pole is exactly 5′ above the ground. I had installed the new reflex sight on the 870 but had not yet zero’d it. Sand blasted the pole with #7 shot, while turning the turrets, from about 20′ away. Then walked to the 100′ mark and loaded 8 slugs in the tube. “Shoulder up gentlemen!” Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. The top of that pole was ragged. All 8 slugs touched it, in about 15 seconds. “Patriots qualified and ready, Sir!”

This sort of attitude exhibited in the video is learned and nurtured. Nobody thinks this way on their own, except a true sociopath.
We can assign names and associations and groups and companies (ahem…..the networks) that have done this, but where does it stop?
And really, to quote Theoden……”How did it come to this?”

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
