Close friend tells some shocking stories about growing up in South America - UPDATED

"I hope that people who read it will get a more complete picture of how the invasion from the south is going to change our country."

HER STORY:


Among people I know, the ones who haven't lived around illegal aliens think that:

--they are just sweet innocent poor people who come here to find work

--without them, the price of fruits and vegetables would go up*

--America is so rich we can support everyone in the world

--we should all just 'love each other' (the most self-righteous people use the word 'should')

*According to the California census 2010, two percent of the Mexicans in California are picking crops.  Most everything is harvested with giant harvesting machines (called 'harvesters').  So, 'deporting all the illegals' would have little effect on fruit and vegetable prices.



Idealists are nice, but I wish they would talk to people who have lived around South Americans before they form strong opinions about how everyone should feel about immigrants.


*******************************************

Invasion is exactly what I call it - not immigrating.  

South Americans don't even know the history of their own country, much less ours.  No kidding!  They get excited about Cinco de Mayo because they get to party and drink but I have asked them what country they won their Independence from - they look at me blankly - they have no idea what I mean.  They don't know that their country was invaded by Spaniards who took all their gold and killed all the rebellious people (and all the smart people - 99% of the illegals have IQ's below 100, they are concrete thinkers their entire lives).  Spaniards kept the docile ones as slaves to work in the mines and service them in every imaginable way; they don't know why they speak Spanish and they're Catholic.  They also don't know what democracy is or how the economy of a nation works.

*******************************************

The rich people in Peru are the "first five families of Peru".  They own just about everything.

When I lived there, the patriarchs of the families were running the businesses, the adult children were jet-setting around the world going to parties given by rich young people in other countries, I don't know what the moms were doing, they were kind of invisible.

The people who come here illegally are the poorest of the poor and the least educated in their mostly-illiterate countries.  Millions of 'la gente' (peasants) live in cardboard boxes on the outskirts of Mexico City and Lima, the capital cities.  They were born into abject poverty and most of them stay there.  They string electric extension cords for miles to have some electricity for televisions (in their boxes).  Now and then there is an electrical fire that destroys a cardboard barrio and people are killed.  Government doesn't care.

The public schools are pathetic, the government hires ignorant women who are little more than baby-sitters (parents in Brazil were rioting a few years ago, trying to get the government to hire real teachers).  The kids don't have any toys, they don't have any educational toys either, they don't do 'sorting' games when they are toddlers so their brains don't develop the compartments that are necessary for abstract thinking.  When Steve and I vacationed in Mexico, bands of tiny children roamed the beaches begging from the tourists and attracting attention by banging empty tin cans and other metal trash together.  Their eyes are deadpan, their faces are expressionless.  There is a small middle class of people who work and live in apartments in the cities.  Their children wear uniforms to go to public schools.  They learn a little more but not much because the priests run the public schools so the children spend most of their day memorizing catholic prayers - they are repressed and controlled.  When they get out of school each day they act like wild animals.  A lady who immigrated to Torrance came over one day with some other people and brought her 2 boys that she had just picked up from Catholic school.  They ran around like whirling dervishes trying to break everything in my back yard.  I just stared at them - I hadn't seen children behave like that since I lived in Peru.

I could go on and on.  The girls in the barrios and in the jungles are raped daily by every man who can get access to them including their brothers.  That's why they are constantly pregnant, there are a lot of birth defects, and the general population is still very short.  Peruvians are mostly under 5 feet tall.  When I went to Cancun and Cozumel in 1984 the people there were also tiny, under 5 feet tall.  They haven't gotten taller and taller like Americans and Europeans.  A doctor explained that: when children start getting pregnant, before they are full grown, their growing stops because their bodies focus on nurturing the fetus.  Here and there we met a tall red-headed freckle-faced Peruvian - some of them had German last names, some of their ancestors changed their last names to Spanish-sounding ones ... they fled Germany after WW1 and 2 to avoid being tried for war crimes.

I read a couple of books about South American culture: one called The Children of Sanchez, another was about the Sherente and Shipibo tribes in the jungles.

My brother was a Peace Corpsman in Peru.  He used to come visit and bring other Peace Corpsmen/women.  They loved it at our house - American food, showers, and beds, were a luxury to them.  One group had been to the jungle where they encountered villages that didn't have any grown women, just men and children (most of the girls pregnant of course).  When they asked 'where are the women'?  They were told "dead".  They found out that most of the girls died in childbirth as teenagers -- after having 8 or 10 children, their bodies were so malnourished that they couldn't survive another birthing.  The men didn't exactly raise the children.  When the mother died they were on their own - some of them already pregnant from getting raped every day.  When a man saw a girl on the trail, he put her down on the ground, got his rocks off, and walked away.  The boys in the city were very aggressive with girls.  I went to a British boarding school in Lima.  I was safe at school but in the city I was sometimes pursued by native boys - I had to run home and burst in the door and lock it more than once.

It sucks, doesn't it?  When these immigrants become the majority in America, they are going to get elected and change our laws.  They will set back women's rights 500 years.

*******************************************

Oh, there's more.  Absolutely everyone in government lives on bribes.  We bribed the aduanas (contraband inspectors) at the seaport and airport.  We had nothing illegal but if we didn't, they would spend several days taking us apart - after a few hours they would start hinting around about their bribe money.  Anyone who needed anything from the government started by bribing clerks a little bit, then they got to see a manger, they got a bigger bribe, they could get you in to see someone more important, who got a bigger bribe ... you get the picture ... all the way to the top.

Shopping in the city was an ordeal.  There was a Sears Roebuck in downtown Lima, it was the nicest store in the country but it still did check out the same way as the other stores.  All the merchandise was behind counters, customers weren't allowed to pick up anything or walk away with it or try on any clothes.  You could see it, handle it in the presence of a clerk.  If you wanted it, the clerk gave you a bill, you went to a cashier, like cashiers in Las Vegas - a bulletproof cage with armed guards around it.  There, you paid for your item and got a receipt, took the receipt back to the clerk who gave you your item.  If the store didn't do this, nothing would ever get paid for; people would walk out with everything.  There were supervisors watching the clerks and the guards too - they protected the store from employee theft.  Employees would take every dime the first night if they could touch the money unsupervised.

How long will it be before stores here do something similar?  There are already some stores where clerks deposit money from customers directly into the top of a locked safe that no one can get into.  An armored car service collects the money every night.  And of course, everything we buy here is encased in hard plastic boxes to deter theft, and we have the security cameras and merchandise detectors at the doors.  In Las Vegas, I saw older neighborhoods that had new high walls built around them.  Residents left absolutely nothing outside of their house.  There was colorful graffiti on the walls -- it all looked barren and cold and vandalized.  In Lima, residents in nice neighborhoods (doctors, foreigners, etc. lived there) had multiple locks on the doors and windows, and high walls around the houses with brightly colored broken glass cemented into the tops of the walls!  It was pretty and it deterred burglars.

When we were shopping in Lima, there were peasant men peeing on the buildings in every block.  They were also ejaculating on the buildings.  Every time they saw a woman and got hard, they turned to the nearest building or fence and ejaculated.  My mother would shield our eyes and say 'don't look over there'.  When peasant women had to do #1 or #2, they squatted at the curb with their skirts around them, did it, got up and walked away.  They never cleaned themselves.  My sister and I never looked a man in the face - if we did he would make some gesture that indicated he 'wanted' us, then he would follow us around.  Some of them would sidle up very close to us and whisper endearments into our ears - we were 11 years old.  We had no carnal knowledge but we could tell that the men wanted to do something to us and we knew that we better never let ourselves be caught alone with any indigenous man or boy or something bad would happen.  That's a scary way for children to live.  Guess what - Immigrants do the same things in the U.S. that they did at home.  In Los Angeles, the Downtown Merchants Association complained to the city that the outside walls of their store were always sticky and stinky and their customers complained about it.  The merchants said 'We used to wash the outside walls of our building once a week and that was sufficient -- now, the south Americans are urinating and ejaculating on it many times a day -- we could wash our building 10 times a day and it would still be stinky and sticky most of the time.'  Los Angeles has laws against public indecency and if only a few immigrants were doing it, they would be caught and put in jail -- but when a million immigrants are doing it all day every day, police would be overwhelmed if they tried to catch all of them.

Of course, I know Latin Americans in the U.S. who were born here and their parents were born here as well.  They speak English (some of them don't know Spanish), they went to college, they own businesses, they get married (although their track record for fidelity is notoriously imperfect), some of their children serve in the armed forces; they are Americans just as much as any of us.  Some of them go into Politics (I heard one of them yell 'the beeg houses should go to beeg families').  They want to socialize housing.  The government gives them homes to live in so  they think the government gives homes to everyone and it's unfair that they get small houses while white people get big houses in nice neighborhoods.  They don't know that we have mortgages, we pay taxes, interest, insurance, upkeep, and capitol improvements on our property -- they wouldn't understand the concept if we tried to explain it to them.  In their country, the President is the biggest bully in the country.  'Elections' are the times when guys with big guns come into the cities and villages, they shoot a man (to scare the villagers into complying) then they march everyone to the Polls and tell them to mark X on the paper here (next to the name of the bully who is paying them) and sign their X at the bottom.  Americans don't know how Democracy is twisted into 'Rule by Tyrant' in the South American countries.  I saw men with machine guns on every corner in Zijuantanejo.  Mexico had just gone through 'elections' and the new President was guarding against the old President taking his country back.  In America, the news agencies reported that Mexico held Democratic elections and elected a new President.

Thanks to news agencies, sheltered Americans are starting to hear about Immigrant Crimes.  They steal everything that they can pick up.  No one leaves a bicycle outside unlocked.  When I put a cover over my car at a repair shop in Torrance the owner told me 'You can't leave that cover on - it will be gone tomorrow; we can't even leave an ashtray outside - immigrants come every night and take everything they can carry.'  There's worse:  In the Latin section of Los Angeles, men burst into a church during a baby's christening and murdered the father.  The same thing happened at a child's birthday party: men burst into the back yard and murdered the father right in front of all the children.  They opened the DWP boxes and pulled out copper wiring and sold the copper to a scrap-yard.  Their greed caused massive black-outs in their own neighborhoods.

We moved to a suburb of Washington DC in 2014.  For the first few months, I heard no Spanish at all.  Then I heard one family speaking Spanish (in the Walmart of course).  Five years later, I was surrounded by Spanish whenever I was in a public place.  In 2014, people played Frisbee, football and baseball in the biggest public park.  In 2019, all the parks are covered with brown people playing soccer, bouncing balls off of their heads, cooking stinky food on the grills, blasting mariachi music from boomboxes, stealing everything from the bathrooms and leaving them filthy.  Real Estate Developers have been quickly building condos and townhouses to accommodate the growing population.  They don't know that Latin Americans don't buy homes; one family rents a 1-bedroom 1-bath apartment then everyone they know moves in with them.  Landlords keep finding 20 adults and 30 children living in small apartments that they rented to one family.  The Latins sleep in shifts, doors are torn off, the boys gather around the bathroom whenever a girl is on the potty so they can point and giggle at her exposed body parts.  No one has any privacy.  When girls go into a potty stall in a public bathroom they often just sit there for a long time enjoying the privacy - while women are lined up, waiting uncomfortably to use the potty.

Did I ever tell you what happened in Palos Verdes one weekend when everyone's lawn furniture was missing?

I hope this sounds informative rather than angry ... I don't have any resentments about it but sometimes written words can sound angry when we aren't.


*******************************************

Well that's a lot - I keep thinking of more.  I don't know if you want to post so much, but I hope that people who read it will get a more complete picture of how the invasion from the south is going to change our country.


UPDATE #1:

Oh, I just remembered an important story that illustrates how they do the same things here that they did in Mexico -- even some 2nd generation Latins.

When we lived in Pacific Palisades (late 1980's), we had a gardener named Jose.  One day, he brought his high school age son to help him.  While they were there, our neighbor called, she was upset and my husband heard her 16-year old daughter screaming and crying in the background.  The girl had looked out her bedroom window and saw the gardener's son peeping at her, not only that, he was jerking off.  She had never seen a penis before, she was understandably horrified, grossed out, scared, all of the above.  We said we were so sorry, we would send them away and tell the gardener to never bring his son again.  The housekeeper was there too, she was also Latin.  She heard the disturbance and wondered what was going on.  We told her what happened ... she shrugged and said "So, he enjoyed himself."  To Latin women, a Latin man enjoying himself is more important than any girl's feelings.  

UPDATE #2:

Another misconception:

I met a fellow in Los Angeles who was part of a project to keep young Latin boys out of gangs.  He said that the hard part was that: the boys are angry and they get angrier as they grow up.  When they get close to puberty, they want the pretty white girls with the creamy skin -- they dream of that creamy skin -- but they are short, dark, they don't make good grades, they don't dress well, they don't have money to buy the girls perfume (that's how their Latin father gets Latin women) -- they see the white boys getting the white girls and they get angry that they can't have them.  The Latin girls also get angry that the Latin boys want the white girls more than them - it makes them hate white girls.  They're all angry about being poor.  They are told that they are poor because of 'over-consumption by white people' so they hate white people for making them poor.  When gangs recruit the young Latin men they tell them that they get to steal and rape and vandalize.  Sounds good to an angry young Latin boy!


BTW, South Americans are told by their governments that they are poor because of 'over-consumption in the north'.  Many of our American College Professors also believe that we are responsible for the poverty in South America, and Africa, and China, and we're responsible for anything bad that happens to any 'person of color'.  Actually, North Americans don't consume anything from South America except what we pay for.  The real cause of poverty in South America is: their politicians take all the money from the treasury for themselves.  Politicians get bribes from the wealthy people who own everything, and they get money from Foreign Aid (mostly from the U.S.).  They give the people nothing.  Evita was beloved in Argentina because she was the only politician the people had ever known who built hospitals for them.  She also took a lot of money for herself but at least the people got some attention while her husband was in power.

UPDATE #3:


TENTS -- I used to play sports on some public courts every night with my friends.  I noticed a tent in the front yard of a house across the street from the courts; it was a 1-bedroom 1-bathroom rental.  I didn't think anything of it but it was there for several more nights.  That was unusual but I just thought the kids were having a weekend sleep-over or something.  Then there were several more tents for several weeks.  My friends noticed it too and wondered what was going on.  Then all the tents disappeared and an article in the paper explained that the tenants (with a Spanish last name) had been evicted because they were renting tents to illegal aliens - there were tents in the back yard too that we didn't see.  Police estimated that there were 10-14 adults and 40-50 children all using the same bathroom and kitchen in the duplex and sleeping in the tents.

HALLOWEEN -- When we lived in Palos Verdes, we used to decorate our house for Halloween and take our daughter trick or treating in our neighborhood.  There were 60 homes tucked inside a golf course, we knew everyone and all the kids too.  It was fun to see their costumes, guess who was in the costume (they giggled when they stumped us) and give them candy.  We kept doing it for a few years after our daughter got too old and went to parties with her friends instead.  The housekeepers who worked in the neighborhood started coming in with dozens of children that we didn't know, they didn't speak English, they didn't say 'thank you', some of them were un-costumed and way too old to be trick or treating.  Then they started bringing bus-loads of people, all Hispanic, all ages, they grabbed handfuls of free candy and ran off.  Halloween wasn't so much fun any more, we turned off our lights.  

I've been spending some time on the East Coast this last year.  The Hispanic population is growing rapidly.  People here are upset that graffiti has appeared on lighthouses, statues, and buildings that have been here for hundreds of years; buildings are smelling like urine and the crime rate is rising ... all hallmarks of Hispanics.  My friends in Utah are upset that graffiti has been spray-painted on ancient petroglyphs.  They can't get they can't get the graffiti off without damaging the petroglyphs.  My friends in Pacific Palisades get up early every morning and use some special spray paint remover and scrub the graffiti off of their garden wall.  I mentioned it at a dinner party and a lady objected: "but that's how they get self-esteem".  Charming.  They need counseling before they enter the U.S. so they learn positive ways of getting real self-esteem instead of vandalizing and getting negative attention.  Real self esteem comes from making the world a better place.

POSTSCRIPT:

I think the U.S. should declare a Moratorium on Immigration.  We need to take stock of how many illegal aliens we have in our country now, how much they are going to cost us over the course of their lifetimes, and multiply it logarithmically to project the cost of their children, grandchildren, etc.

We need to implement a plan to teach them our laws, customs, and language.  That will help with the crime and with the problem of Americans getting taxed beyond their ability to pay without seriously damaging their own family members.  "Bi-lingual Society" doesn't work in any city or country where it exists.  It creates segregation and inequality.  In the sixties, Americans fought and died for equality and racial integration.  We all spoke the same language so we were able to integrate -- people don't speak the same language can't integrate.

"New York ain’t New York anymore"

A knish is just a knish,
A blintz is just a blintz.
Of that you can't deny...

Well, apparently not anymore!!

One man recently related:

"13th Avenue used to be fantastic. Carini's for pastries. Scotto's for "Brooklyn bread" and salviatas and other cookies. Long gone. [Yes, Scotto's is still there, but under "new" management.] And it's not just the paisans who are gone. Not that long ago, lady friend and I visited the old neighborhood, and she wanted a knish, like she used to buy for her mother on the avenue. We drove all the way from 38th Street to the New Utrecht Avenue el, not one Jewish deli with a lousy knish."

And a former New Yorker friend's recent experience:

"Speaking of knishes, we went to Yonah Schimmel’s, the most famous place in the world for knishes and they were awful.

Apparently, it’s now a mostly Internet mail order business so they are kept frozen and if you come in person (as we did) they microwave them. Ugh.

Yet another great New York institution down the drain."

My friend also mentioned that all her favorite restaurants were gone too!!

Albert Jay Nock: Perhaps the most brilliant American essayist of the 20th century, and certainly among its most important libertarian thinkers

DOWNLOAD Memoirs of a Superfluous Man - MISES INSTITUTE
Albert Jay Nock, perhaps the most brilliant American essayist of the 20th century, and certainly among its most important libertarian thinkers, set out to write his autobiography but he ended up doing much more. He presents here a full theory of society, state, economy, and culture, and does so almost inadvertently.

His stories, lessons, observations, and conclusions pack a very powerful punch, so much so that anyone who takes time to read carefully cannot but end up changed in intellectual outlook. One feels that one has been let in a private club of people who see more deeply than others. This is truly an American classic.

Film review: "Thank You For Your Service"

POWERLINE:
Of the movies I saw in 2017, Thank You For Service was the only one that shook me up, taught me something I didn’t know and made me want to learn more, all while increasing my gratitude and respect for the service to which we pay tribute in the stock slogan that gives the movie its title.

BEAUTY & BRAINS: THE BOND GIRLS

So James Bond is 50 years old, apparently. While Bond himself has gone through many incarnations, from the incomparable Connery to the mystifying choice of Roger Moore to today's Daniel Craig, only the character himself has remained constant. And so have his women, specifically his arch-nemesis women. Bond's cold war hotties were usually Soviet spies like Anya Amasova and Tatiana Romanova, cunning and beautiful women who started out as mortal foes but ended up flinging themselves at Bond with girlish glee. In comparison to the staid and efficient Miss Moneypenny, these ladies were dynamic and exotic and dangerous. And yet they were, at heart, beautiful and ultra feminine young women. In many ways, these female spies were a glimpse at what mid-century men secretly longed for in a woman. They had beauty and brains, charisma and determination, competence and know-how, but femininity and sexuality above all else. The fact that they all ultimately threw over their evil spymasters in order to sail off with Bond shows that they were pro-value deep down, too, and capable of love. That's why we still love them 50 years on, and likely always will.

YOUNG, WHITE MALES

An Interesting E-Mail on Young, White Males December 17, 2012

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I got an e-mail note. I want to share this with you based on the last call that we had.

Dear Rush:

I have not watched a second of news on the school shooting over the weekend, mainly because seeing the reporting makes me cry and unable to do much else. But I'm tuned in enough to know that once again the American leftist culture is forcing us to collectively look at the wrong reasons for the problem, and as such, we will never be able to come to grips with it, much less find a solution. What do all of the public shootings in the last years have in common? They were all done by young white males who were from upper middle-class families. The problem is not guns. That's the easy shiny thing that the liberals flash in front of us so that we don't look at their failed political agenda.

The problem in America today is how we have treated white boys for the last decades, and it all has at its root the unrelenting liberal political agenda. Boys have been pushed out of two of the most important activities: school and sports. In an all-out effort to convince girls they can do anything a boy can, schools have ignored the natural needs and learning traits of boys and forced them to learn like girls. Fewer boys are going to college, in part because they're being pushed out by a feminist agenda in education. We have rushed to dilute the energetic aggressive aspects of the male species by drugging them as children and chickifying them at every turn.

We allowed our young boys to play violent murdering video games. These types of games are the same ones the military uses to train soldiers. But they are being played by very, very young kids in dark rooms all over the country. You want to ban something, ban those. We have overlooked the devastating effects on all children of not having a father in the house. And we have ignored and not helped boys with their mental illness. We've hyperventilated endlessly over girls and their eating disorders, image issues, self-esteem, sex, blah, blah, blah, but we have most totally ignored the mental challenges that boys face.

Interesting, don't you think? It's an e-mail from a female listener to the EIB Network.

Recognition of the “other” is missing in Arab culture

Salim Mansur, QMI Agency

Liberals:
Only the politically correct, and they are the majority in the contemporary West, remain surprised of how quickly the so-called “Arab spring” has turned into an “Arab frenzy” and is headed into an “Arab inferno.”
The Problem:
The problem is culture. Arab culture, despite tremendous changes that have occurred elsewhere in the world, remains resilient in adhering to traditional values of patriarchy and the tribal order of father (leader) knows what is best for his tribe or nation.

The Arab League consists of 21 states and the Palestinian Authority. There is not one single democracy in this collection of Arab states, and the predominant reason for the absence of democracy among Arabs is culture.

Democracy is not merely an election, and a representative party with majority support holding power.

For democracy to work, the prerequisite is a culture in which the people recognizes the “other” — irrespective of how the “other” is defined in terms of ethnicity or religion or gender — as equal, and their interests and aspirations as legitimate.

This recognition of the “other” is missing in Arab culture...
Arab world a relic of history

OPERA COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA SURPRISES MACY'S CUSTOMERS WITH RANDOM ACT OF CULTURE

RANDOM ACT OF CULTURE ON OCTOBER 10, 2010



UPDATE: I just happened to be reading how the very devoted Catholic blogger The Anchoress, was not terribly moved by this video...something I just can't understand...but I did want to mention a comment from "Ken from Kansas" because it fleshes out the historical setting for the video:
...for people from Philly like me it [Macy's] will always be the John Wanamaker Store at 13th and Walnut.

The Wanamaker organ and the great court at the holidays is something special to us. Plus for me the thought of the Hallelujah Chorus and the words, “the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ,” sung in a temple of commerce (Mammon?) gives me goose bumps. God does honor his Word even when that word goes forth in the most unlikely places and he will be exalted. BTW, John Wanamaker was a wonderful Christian and would have approved I am sure.
Merry Christmas to all.

Kwanzaa Schmanzaa

What do you get when you take a bad science fiction writer with a desire for immortality and add a lust for tax breaks? Scientology. What do you get when you take a neo-marxist felon and add a desire for black nationalism? Kwanzaa. What do both Kwanzaa and Scientology have in common? They are fraudulent products of post-modern culture given legitimacy by a press hell bent on diminishing the Judeo-Christian heritage in the United States.

Over the next few weeks, the media will be wishing people “Happy Holidays” and profiling families celebrating Kwanzaa -- advent wreath lighters are too religious for media profiles. What they won’t tell you is what I will tell you.

Kwanzaa has absolutely nothing to do with Africa and everything to do with hating the United States.

Real Life

“Today’s young people have the ability to experience excitement more than any generation in history.
Outside of school, excitement is available almost 24/7. MTV is exciting (MTV has done far more damage to this generation than has the tobacco industry); video games are exciting... The list of exciting things many children experience is as long as there are hours in the day.
But all this excitement is actually inhibiting our children’s ability to enjoy life and therefore be happy. All this excitement renders young people jaded, not happy... All this excitement in their lives bodes poorly for the future happiness of millions of American children. Real life, let alone daily life, will seem so boring to them that they will not be able to enjoy it. And more than a few of them will opt for lives of constant excitement, often in ways destructive to themselves and others.
The solutions are as simple to offer as they may be difficult to enforce. Limit the amount of excitement in your children’s lives: the amount of video games, the amount of non-serious television, the amount of music whose only aim is to excite. If they are bored, they will have to remedy that boredom by playing with friends, finding a hobby, talking to a family member, walking the dog, doing chores, reading a book or magazine, learning a musical instrument or foreign language, memorizing state capitals, writing a story or just their thoughts, exercising or playing a sport, or just thinking. The younger the age from which children are deprived of superficial excitement, the longer they will remain innocent—i.e., not jaded—and capable of real happiness.”
—Dennis Prager

"How could you possibly live in the freest nation in the history of the world and only see oppression?"

"How could you possibly live in the freest nation in the history of the world and only see oppression? How could you live in the least imperialist power in human history and see us as the ultimate in imperialism? How can you live in the least bigoted nation in human history ... and see racism lurking in every dark shadow?" asks conservative comedian and commentator Evan Sayet.

"The modern liberal will invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right, and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success."

The comedian attributed the trend to a "rejection of all fact, reason, evidence, logic, truth, morality, and decency."
