Victor Davis Hanson - The Left Are the Great Destroyers of Civilization

[PaceAdvantage]

I agree completely

Hanson is second to none when it come to laying out the way things are with the LEFT.


Of course, for a more passionate and ENTERTAINING exposition, there's Milei. - and he's getting shit done in Argentina.


The problem, unfortunately, if you happen to live in a BLUE state, is that your neighbors will NEVER stop voting blue.


All the shit that they do in NY and no one cares enough to protest about it - unless, of course, it's the LEFT doing the protesting, then they all come out WITH IMPUNITY.



I mean, 30,000 MoFos turned out for SantaCon, while less than 100 turn out to protest migrant shelters in their neighborhoods.



It's not getting better.

Without progressives, the world would remain stuck in ignorance just like the Dark Ages.

The enlightenment of the Arab world to filter back to Europe and allow civilization to improve.

Quote: The Arabs made great progress in cartography, chemistry and medicine at a time when the Christian Church was telling adherents that diseases were divine punishments for human sins. Flagellation was one of the atonements for the Black Death.

In every discipline, Arab scholars were assisted by the manufacture of paper, while Europe's relatively few literates were writing on cumbersome and expensive parchment. Libraries in Islam then contained hundreds of thousand.

Arabs adopted the efficient Hindu decimal system, with the nine numerals and zero we use today. On the basis of Euclid's geometry and Ptolemy's astronomy, the Arabs devised algebra and trigonometry and made astronomical observations of their own. At a time when the Christians of Europe believed the world was flat, found it difficult to fix the date of Easter and could not even tell the time of day, the Arabs, aided by a gadget called the astrolabe, made astronomical and terrestrial measurements to discover that our world is spherical and to calculate its size almost exactly. The astrolabe was also a valuable navigational instrument, determining latitude.

Maybe they can go to Canada and straighten them out.

Canada already has wide based multi-culturism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_...%20is%20Muslim.

There are a number of Islamic organizations and seminaries (madrasas). Opinion polls show most Muslims feel "very proud" to be Canadians, and majority are religious and attend mosque at least once a week. More than half of Canadian Muslims live in Ontario, with significant populations also living in Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia.

My experience was that no one persecuted them either.

What do Arabs or Islam or Canada have to do with the video I posted?

Broken 46zilzal AI BOT strikes again...I guess...

Oh, those terrible dark ages.

Why back then, we were forced to endure secure borders, no wars, booming economy, energy independence....oh the humanity!

I agree with the video except you cannot blame Bidenomics for the price of copper wire, copper has been bouncing around in price for almost 20 years.
It is much higher than when Biden took office, but today's price is the same as it was a dozen years ago. I am just aware because I have frequently been buying wire for 30 some odd years.

i watched the video and that sums up the way this place is. but what is more important is how this country got to this point.

you have to start to when the country was founded, it was started with conservative values with immigration rules. for the most part the largest influx of immigration took place starting after world war 1. the people that came tended to stay in the same sections and brought their own customs with them. but there were rules in place to become citizens here and the values that founded this country didn't change that much. fast forwarding to where we are today, we have let go of our standards. everytime you call a company on the telephone you are going to press 1 for hispanic, 2 for english or 9 for something else. the people that come here sometimes never learn the language. then we have to deal with the process of people trying to get into this country from the southern border that were oppressed by the place they came from. the rules allowing this to occur were not put in place by Democrats, President Reagan and Bush allowed for more people to cross the border and get processed this side of it. so what we have today is a culmination of the problem with so many people getting through the border with the side that caused the problem originally blaming Democrats for not doing anything about it.
part of the reason why these policies were lax were because there was a shortage of labour to do menial jobs at low wages. fast forwarding to today, the whole thing has blown up to out of proportion. the way the politics of this country has turned out is one side constantly blames the other for the problems and takes credit for the accomplishments and also profits financially from the inefficiencies in the cracks.

now for sure, i loved President Reagan and think he is one of the better Presidents. he made moves including his tinkering with immigration policies with the good of the courntry in mind.
