How Many of These Insane Freaks Does the Left Have? When you have no conscience, self-control, or standard other than “every man does that which is right in his own eyes,” there is no final, absolute moral stopping place. And as populations grow and atheism and amorality are taught widely and constantly, more and more insanity, perversion, and freaks will arise. Hence, we have the Left, the Democratic Party in America.

Remember this: the left sees everything as a money issue.”

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:15-17).
