    How perverse is it that the major denominations - so-called Christian denominations in our country - affirm homosexuality, ordain homosexuals, ordain lesbians, marry men to men and women to women? Even the Quakers - and I quote - say, “Homosexuality is no more deplorable than left-handedness.” The Episcopalians have led the parade with a well-known bishop, for the whole of the United States of America, who is a sodomite. A local Methodist church not far from here, the pastor says, “A homosexual is welcome in this congregation and will have all the rights and privileges.” That’s hate speech. If you love that man, you’ll confront his sin and tell him about the gospel so his soul can be saved.

      Imagine what could be done if the collusion fiasco had not happened and the Dems were the Dems of old.
      Based on our current status it’s said that the US has 10 to 20 yrs until collapse. Might want to have some food and ammo stashed. When the urban areas free money dries up things will get very interesting.

      P S • "Make America Great Again" depends upon far, far more than a few amidst the many. In his September '96 newsletter to the audience of the Billy Graham Evangelist Association, Mr. Graham said "...If America is to be spared and to avoid the horrors of a dying nation, we must rediscover what it means to love God and one another." Without widespread repentance of our sins against God, there is no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no Holy Spirit revival to arouse the church from 'her' deadly spiritual slumber. Without repentance and revival, America continues to evolve into a nationwide holocaustic nightmare. As Anglo American Patriot Daniel Webster is quoted to us from 1823 "...If God and His Word are not known and received, the Devil and his works will gain the ascendancy." For vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. I will repay, sayeth the Lord.

    • @Gweidemann

      @@robertblake1032 It took far more than "luck", for the settlers of this nation to carve a civilization out of a wilderness, sir. Storing up food and weapons is advised by survivalists, for us to prepare for potential disaster before disaster strikes, as you suggest. General Douglas MacArthur so insightfully said "There had never been a single precedent in history where nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There either has been a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to national disaster."

    Germany had the most advanced weapons in the world during WWII. They had produced the first cruise missiles (Doodle Bugs), the first supersonic missiles (rockets), the fleet of giant submarines that were automated to fire six massive torpedoes in less than half a minute. The largest calibre guns in the world and the first squadron of jet fighters, it took three US or UK tanks to take out a single Panzar. After the war ended thousands of Nazi scientists were taken to America along with all this technology.
    The "Gass Station Posing as a Country" defeated this technological superpower. It also put the first satellite in space, the first man in space, built the first space station all while cut off from the rest of the world. To lie/hide about these historical facts benefits only the 1% mega wealthy at the expense of every one else.

    Hansen is a knowledgeable historian and a good public speaker. Unfortunately, some in our "youtube" society have elevated his stature, his significance, and his analysis of 21st century politics far above their rightful places in public discourse. He draws conclusions based on personal feelings masked in carefully selected facts, and has knowingly (or unknowlingly) become a shill for the neocons.
