There was (and probably still is) a young woman who went by the handle "Nuck Fewt" (although I suspect that subsequent events have caused her to choose a new handle). In this particular case, she'd chosen the handle "Nuckie". Whatever she had said was, of course, quite forgettable. Thor's response, however, was a keeper. I present it here for your consideration.

There are many things which build and bolster a civilization, namely:

• honesty
• courage
• faithfulness
• self-sacrifice
• hard work
• patience
• love of and devotion to family
• love of and devotion to neighbor
• love of and devotion to country
• doing what is right whether you like it or not
• belief in personal control of one's destiny
• a common belief in something higher than your own self interest.

On the other hand, there are many things which degrade and destroy a civilization, namely:

• dishonesty
• cowardice
• unfaithfulness or infidelity
• self-service
• laziness (expecting a handout)
• avaricious impatience
• lack of care for family
• lack of care for neighbor
• lack of care for country
• doing what you like regardless of whether it is right or not
• a plethora of excuses for misbehavior
• belief in nothing higher than your own self interest.

Where does Clinton fit into this picture? Where does his party stand? Where do you and I stand? I truly did not tailor the content of this post to Slick Willie or his party . . . or his despicable supporters [like you, Nuckie], they just naturally fit the bill. It is the result of my research for a book years ago . . . before I ever heard of him. This pattern of virtue and vice has been repeated and repeated at the rise and fall of every great people throughout the history of mankind. The ugly thing . . . if you have the guts and tears to face it, is that once the amoral slide begins, there can be no recovery. I say not impossible, but history shows that it has never happened . . . NEVER. Many rise to warn their people toward the end, but none of them have ever succeeded . . . ask my friend Tacitus.

Liberalism wins because of its essentially satanic glamour, which plays on all that is weak, broken and ugly in mankind:

• If you are lazy, it offers a handout.
• If you are stupid, it offers self-esteem.
• If you are evil, it offers a denial of guilt.
• If you are a liar, it offers a denial of the existance of truth.
• If you are a slave to sin, it names your shackles, FREEDOM.
• If you are a coward, it offers its own false security.

Sorry, my friends. Truth is a downer when the world rots around us. Yet, I would rather know the painful truth and deal with it, than to steep in the comfortable ignorance of the very liberalism I loathe.

For the sake of mankind LIBERALISM MUST BE CRUSHED!
