The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land is expanding the most corrupt courts of any nation in time. Executive and legislative branches exacerbate the inebriated stagger and chaotic confusion. Evil is now called good, darkness - light, bitter - sweet, abandoning our national family to enemy slaughter - success, socialistic theocracy - moral and the demonic tyranny of compelled compliance, government license, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police state confiscations, etc.) - inalienable rights and liberty. “In such a strait the wisest may well be perplexed and the boldest staggered.” SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
