If there’s one thing coronavirus did do with certainty, it increased global stupidity levels. -  WM Briggs
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.

Just how depleted of self-respect must one be to agree to get on their knees because someone of another race demands it?

G. K. Chesterton

We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.

Another great quote by Chesterton

"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes being corrected."

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

From what we've seen a very significant percentage of the mobs are felons.

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.

In fighting those who serve devils one always has this on one’s side; their Masters hate them as much as they hate us.

The moment we disable the human pawns enough to make them useless to Hell, their own Masters finish the work for us.

They break their tools.”

If falsehood, like truth, had only one face, we would be in better shape.

For we would take as certain the opposite of what the liar said.

But the reverse of truth has a hundred thousand shapes and a limitless field.

In the last analysis, we see only what we are ready to see, what we have been taught to see.

We eliminate and ignore everything that is not a part of our prejudices.
