This has been building for awhile, but I see a cognitive tyranny now that I've never seen before. It makes me concerned the country is already lost to progressivism and is on the road to self-destruction.
Screw the progs.... speak your mind.

But let's focus on whether or not William Jefferson Clinton had a dalliance with an intern.

That's what you call Republican priorities. And with that type of mentality, one does wonder if this country really could be finished.
He acted on bad intelligence. But it is completely irrelevant to what I said anyway. It was talking about our elected leaders having equal accountability for committing crimes. You chose not to read and understand the point, which is all part of the decline of our discourse. Stalin had a phrase... you can look it up yourself.

I don't think Dallas is really that liberal. It is actually very conservative.

So the "crime" in question here is President Clinton not being forthright about having a dalliance with an intern.

Yet the crime of lying a nation into a war against a nation with absolutely no justification whatsoever is no big deal. A war that killed hundreds of thousands of human beings and will cost this country over 3 trillion dollars. Republican priorities on display.

The polarization of America, right alongside the Dumbing Down of America and the rise of "news" organizations that pump out propaganda that does not mirror reality is indeed a very real and existential threat to this Republic.

The crime is lying to a grand jury. The fact that you don't understand this and understand the abuse of power it represents is indicative of exactly the problem that I am talking about.

But you are never going to understand, and I do not intend to waste time on you. The usual pattern of these things is that the left corrodes and corrupts the republic, and it falls to the right. So when it does happen, enjoy living under the next Cesar, Napolean, Hitler. It will be entirely the fault of you and those who think like you.

Out.

The country was lost from its inception. It was founded on with a mixture of truth and error, right and wrong.

The country needs to be reformed from within. China is an endpoint of the current path.
