  1. Well, the Canadians that fought for King@Country certainly died for nothing… the country they fought for, the flag they fought under, all gone, legislated away by a callous and malicious Liberal Party doing what the enemy could not do… a real shame. Although flying to France and using Vimy Ridge as a backdrop is a good photo-op opportunity for the retarded leader of the “First Post National State”… its hardly worth the death toll… tragic.

  2. We have John Lennon and his ilk to thank for much of that mentality. A lot of lefties/commies/SJWs took that cloyingly irritating song of his as actual instructions.

    1. Sadly … they ignored Lennon’s warning about Revolution …

      You say you want a revolution
      Well, you know
      We all want to change the world
      You tell me that it’s evolution
      Well, you know
      We all want to change the world

      But when you talk about destruction
      Don’t you know that you can count me out

      Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
      Alright, alright

      You say you got a real solution
      Well, you know
      We’d all love to see the plan
      You ask me for a contribution
      Well, you know
      We’re all doing what we can

      But if you want money for people with minds that hate
      All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

      Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
      Alright, alright, al…

      You say you’ll change the constitution
      Well, you know
      We all want to change your head
      You tell me it’s the institution
      Well, you know
      You’d better free your mind instead

      But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
      You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow

      Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
      Alright, alright

      Alright, alright
      Alright, alright
      Alright, alright
      Alright, alright

      Essentially … all you leftists are going about your Revolution … all wrong. Lennon mocks you FAKE Revolutionarys

  3. Some older wisdom…

    But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

    32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.

    33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

    34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

    41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.

    66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

    67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

    1. Yes, and every generation experiences this and discovers it anew.

      The ‘old wisdom” that Robert references is directly descended from the ‘older wisdom’ that you reference.

      1. Jeremiah 31:29-30
        (29)  In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
        (30)  But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

  4. The funny thing is that young adults think they expanded their freedom by legalizing weed. What they did was make themselves more dependent on gov’t and willingly abandon individualism for black non-gender specific pj’s.

    1. Canada IS So. Africa now. Reverse-Apartheid has come to North America. How DARE all you white people build things, and improve the lives of the entire world. You are white devils, you deserve to DIE.

      The walls NOT erected by the utopian one-world governments … will be built around each one of our homes. North America will eventually look like the walled-in Pakistan compound of Osama Bin Laden. Soon … we will all be living behind 12ft concrete walls. Venturing out ONLY with armed guards for resupply.

      1. My married to a Nicaraguan buddy says to buy American made razor wire, the Chinese made stuff is junk. Yes, he really said that.

  5. Bull.

    They died for civilization, for ideals, for adventure, to get out of bad situations, to free the Belgians, the Dutch, the Poles. They died for wingers and mates. They died cause the Captain said, “Go there.”

    That some see civilization 100 or 50 years later as moving backwards and thus negating the sacrifice is as asinine as tearing down statues of nation builders because of butt-hurt victimitis.

    Far too few people actually consider Lincoln’s words, “The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.”

    1. Nice quote. And I might add …
      John 15:13
      Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

      No doubt Pres. Lincoln had Christ’s words in the front of his mind as he wrote those beautiful words.

  6. Psalms 2:1-5
    (1)  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
    (2)  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
    (3)  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
    (4)  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
    (5)  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

  7. Simply solution to the open border concept, Open borders = No welfare, no health-care, no handouts, no social housing. You want to live here, you are on your own, here is your 6 month working visa, good luck, Thanks for coming. After 6 months, re-apply for another visa. If after 5 years of paying taxes and you have had no convictions or issues, you can apply for citizenship.
