The Lucifer thing really got my goat. Not because I thought it was over the line; in essence comparing your political opponent to the Devil. You can hear that on talk radio all day long.

That is not what concerned me the most. The really scary thing:

Most of the people in that arena truly believe in Lucifer. They think there is this really bad spirit dude who is tempting each of us and some people not only give in to temptation, but 'join' his team. And the groups they think have joined Lucifer's team keeps getting larger. LGBT, Feminist, Democrats, Pro-choice folks and the list goes on. And since they think we are allies with the devil, we are witnessing the de-humanizing of all of us. They are not close to needing a final solution for us, far from it. But we cannot give them time.

We have to win this election or things are going to get ugly.

If you had told me 2 weeks ago I would post something like this I would have cussed at you. I am not that many years removed from being a republican, but what we are seeing now is just crazy. Carson was not using hyperbole. He truly believes Hillary, and all of her supporters, are aligned with the Devil. And lots of folks in that hall totally agree.

God, I wish Walter Cronkite was alive today. He would call this shit for what it is.

I normally hate CT but this is too odd. A poorly organized coup in a very professional military. And the embattled president having a press conference 5 hours after it starts?

We are seeing the death of even a semblance of freedom in Turkey.

And a president for life.

I am a relatively new member and have been shocked at the change in tone here since I joined. So my question.

It is grilling season and we grill lots of chicken. My good friend insists that we must drink a white wine and at the most a French Rose with grilled chicken. I think you can drink a light red like a thin French Pinot. Our goal is to lighten the place up at night. What think you?

And thanks for all you do.
