A warning from Ben Franklin

One of the founders of our nation, and arguably the most influential, Ben famously said in response to a question about what kind of country we had, said,"a republic, if you can keep it."

Now, 250 odd years later, Trump and his nefarious minions are hell-bent on ignoring old Ben, attempting to tear up the Constitution and bring about a dictatorship, with the lying, grifting, scumbag Trump at his helm. Trump supports the Big Lie; he lives by it. And his adoring followers believe it, all evidence to the contrary.

The big question: Why?

(Liberal) Physician. Heal thy self. Easy enough to change Trump to Biden in your statement and see what I mean. By the way do you guys still get paid like a nickel per post for your masters? Flipping burgers most likely pays more and is so automated that the machine does the actual work.

[–] KBiker (769) 3 months ago

Your reply is as feckless as your name, FarmerTed. Just ask Molly Ringwald.

[–] nte1igentwon (933) 3 months ago

Yeah, fuck Ted. I'm tired of these idiots trying weave a narrative the left & right are equally bad. It's a highly dishonest false equivalence.

[–] FarmerTed (180) 3 months ago

I figured that you would be tired of feeling threatened by anyone that does not agree with you. I'm assuming that you never leave your home on a weekly basis?

[–] nte1igentwon (933) 3 months ago

It's laughable that you would characterize me calling out your fallacious claim as feeling threatened.

[–] FarmerTed (180) 3 months ago

The most fearful hide behind a veil of laughter. Do you keep the curtains drawn during the day? Good way to get ringworm which is a fungus by the way as you probably do not know.

Farmer Ted was the most fascinating character in the film.

Well if you knew you weren't going to like the reply, why did you ask the question then??

[–] FarmerTed (180) 3 months ago

His attitude is inversely proportional to his height so I am guessing that he is 3 feet tall. Feels threatened by his neighbor's French Poodle.

Childish much?

Ronald Reagan: ‘If Fascism Ever Comes to America, It Will Come in the Name of Liberalism’

[–] Ranb (7266) 3 months ago

Was this Reagan before or after he decided to be anti-gun?

[–] tvfan (8415) 3 months ago

Was that decision before or after the DS threatened him with a bullet?

[–] Ranb (7266) 3 months ago

Why is everything the deep state with you?

[–] tvfan (8415) 3 months ago

You mean the Constitution that was changed and edited in 1871 by the traitors of congress and the compromised 18th president when they sold out the USA as a corporation? That Constitution?

[–] KBiker (769) 3 months ago

Yes, that Constitution, the fifteenth amendment of which stated that:

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

Are you claiming that voting rights should be denied to anyone?

[–] tvfan (8415) 3 months ago

Are you claiming that voting rights should be denied to anyone?

On the contrary, the establishment has violated the Constitution several times since 1871 by trying to remove a nominee from the ballot.

They literally changed the wording of the Constitution in 1871 when our country was sold-out as a corporation to the same DS/Cabal that Trump is trying to destroy.

[–] KBiker (769) 3 months ago

It seems you are changing your tune. What wording of the Constitution was changed? The 15th amendment was adopted, voting rights for all citizens was established. What else are you talking about? Please cite sources.

[–] Pete314 (2462) 3 months ago

Anyone here on the verge of despair? 😂

What did Trump do against the Constitution?

[–] moviechatterer (13436) 3 months ago

ignored the election result andtried to stay in power

[–] chilone (17284) 3 months ago

Wait. Didn't you leftists hate Ben Franklin like 5 minutes ago?

[–] KBiker (769) 3 months ago

No, but that would be irrelevant, even if it were true. The point is he was issuing a warning way back when the Constitution was created, that the Republic would always be in danger if we didn't guard against usurpers like Trump trying to destroy it.

[–] chilone (17284) 3 months ago

The left are the biggest danger to the Republic.

[–] Sparky (2344) 3 months ago

It is the left that is attempting to destroy the first and second amendments. It's good that so many of your cohorts are seeing the light and abandoning that Satanic party of yours. The country and the world can only benefit.
