I’ve recently noticed a few State Flags being displayed with “Proud Democrat” printed on them. I couldn’t help but wonder what was it that makes these folks so proud. Might it be an elimination of U.S. energy independence causing high gas prices? What about the selling off of U.S. Strategic Oil Supply to Chinese Communist? Could it be the uninhibited printing of money that’s causing record inflation. In case these harmful energy and fiscal policies aren’t the reasons for their deadly sin of pride I’ve searched elsewhere. 1000 babies are killed every day by Planned Parenthood while child castrations and mastectomies are performed under pretense of sex changes. Joseph Mengele would have been proud of that. There are men who pretend to be women while acting out in degrading female stereotypes who are shown more respect than actual women. There are guys pretending to be gals in sports who often defeat and sometimes injure the smaller females. Are they proud of those depravities? Then there’s the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” agendas that are divisive, unequal, and exclusive, and let us not forget the wide-open U.S. borders. Are those reasons to be proud? Maybe I’m being too harsh. These might be folks who may sometimes use the phrase “Proud as a Rooster” not realizing roosters eliminate their offspring, have relations with their mothers, and scratch around in their own crap all day long.
