A man who understands history . . .

The founder of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid, was asked about the future of his country, and he replied,

"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover, but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again."

Why is that, he was asked? And his reply was,

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times.

"Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times.

"Many will not understand it, but you have to raise warriors, not parasites."

And add to that the historical reality that all great "empires"... the Persians, the Trojans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans and, in later years, the British ... all rose and perished within 240 years.

Each "rotted from within".

America has now passed that 240-year mark and the "rot" is visible all around and now accelerating quickly. They are past the Mercedes and Land Rover years, and the camels are in their yards.

You are right. The camel's nose of Socialism and Leftism has been sneaking into Americas tent similar to how you got onto this forum.

I love it that the GOP, which is actually a neon**i party thinks the Democrats are destroying the country.


Here is that phony, ignorant, description of conservatives as N**i again. N**is were ultimate government control. An ultimate liberal philosophy. In fact, N**i and C*******m were 2 sides of the same coin. And BTW it's the liberal that are pushing CRT and all w****s are guilty simoly because of the color of their skin--So who are the r****ts?

WHAT? You quoted an opinion-piece WITHOUT FACT CHECKING IT?

WTF!
Now THATS embarrassing!

I would have thought you would have had the sense to check the source before spreading nonsense—you are so quick to point out potential false narratives in other cases . . . .

So "we" who have not consumed any Kool-aid, rate Kraken as unreliable and unable to fact-check stories before dissemination.

Frank has no clue. I agree with the OP. And we are only continuing the trend with another weak man as president in addition to our weak congress critters.


I have a clue that you are ignorant of most facts, but simply love to put your opinions on display.
Perhaps you should have someone ghost write for you so that you'll come off as intelligent.

No! Neither Frank or you have a clue.... Same difference.


As far as I've been able to determine, your stating something does not make it fact.

No you don’t frank. As a caricature many of your statements are over the top ridiculous. You are very good at being a caricature though. Lol

Remember what I said about 4 fingers Frank? She certainly does come off as being far more intelligent than do you... I don't think that you could have posted a better description of your contributions here.

Blurry, there's an old saying: It's difficult to win a debate with an intelligent person but, damn near impossible to win one with a stupid person.
That's why I don't debate you.
