A Bit of Wisdom from J. Paul Getty

“In some respects, a society in which the members reach a universal level in which they are anonymous drones by choice is even more frightening than one in which they are forced to be so against their will. When human beings relinquish their individuality and identity of their own volition, they are also relinquishing their claim to being human.” ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

“The conformist is not born. He is made. I believe the brainwashing process begins in the schools and colleges.” ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

“There is, however, hope for any person who wants to remain an individual. He can assert himself and refuse to conform. He'll be on his own, that's true, but while he will not have the security enjoyed by those who do conform, there will be no limits to what he may achieve.” ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

“It shouldn't be very difficult for anyone to resist the temptation to force himself into the pattern of the structured man. One needs only to remember that a groove may be safe--but that, as one wears away at it, the groove becomes first a rut and finally a grave.” ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

“The majority is by no means omniscient just because it is the majority. In fact, I've found that the line which divides majority opinion from mass hysteria is often so fine as to be virtually invisible.” ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

“The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavor.” ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

“If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.” ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

"My formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil." ~ Jean Paul Getty Sr. December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976

Without Getty oil money there would be no Gavin Newsom or for that matter Nancy Pelosi. J. Paul's grandkids are even his business partners in Plumpjack. The Getty influence opened every door Gavin needed to open. But he hates oil, oil money and wants to destroy the industry that made his entire life possible. Typical leftist. [Reply ]

You can't choose your parents and grandparents. A dotard chooses to live in grandma's basement because he has no other choice. [Reply ]

Beats being a Biden supporter, they're so stupid they think bidenomics work, and that Joe Biden isn't corrupt.

Did you know 70% of Americans believe Biden to be corrupt?

Yet the Democrats in Congress except it, and year after year they still try to hang something on their political rival~ that my friends is known by the United States Government, before Biden of course, as a corrupt government.

It seems the Democrats don't want an impeachment inquiry of the president despite what the American citizens want, and already know.
It's also about our National Security of our borders that the FBI has said, never before in our History has America since Biden became president, have terrorists threats been this High.
The Democrats voted unanimously to stop further questions, even though half of Americans, according to a recent poll, support the inquiry. Seventy percent of Americans believe the president has acted illegally or unethically. So these questions do have to be answered.

HEADLINE NEWS THIS WEEK THAT THE LIBERAL LEFT TRIED TO HIDE
Posted on: 2023-12-15 12:25:37 By: Anonymous

Today's news that's not a surprise to anyone with a brain and isn't a felon, a drug addict, or an imbecile.

Biden least popular president in modern history at this point in office: Polls
"President Joe Biden is the least popular modern U.S. president in history at this point in their presidency, according to new polling data"
"His approval rating may be even lower, as a TIPP Insights survey earlier this month showed his approval rating at 33%, an all-time low for Biden at the polling firm. That poll of 1,464 adults was conducted Nov. 29–Dec. 1 and had a 2.6% margin of error.
Meanwhile, more people disapprove of Biden at this point in his presidency than all other modern presidents dating back to Harry S. Truman, per FiveThirtyEight."

"His low approval ratings may be due to his handling of the economy, according to TIPP, which found that it is the top issue for Americans. Less than a quarter of Americans, 24%, approve of Biden's handling of the economy. That is largely supported by Democrats, 47% of whom approve of his handling, while 81% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats rate Biden's response to the economy as poor or failing.

Americans say he is doing even worse with handling immigration, as just 18% say they approve of his response to the issue, while 56% say his response is poor or failing. Similarly, 54% of people polled by TIPP say they are unhappy with Biden's handling of crime, while just 19% approve of his response to the issue.

Just goes to show you how gullible and/or ignorant and easily manipulated imbeciles of the Socialist Party voters truly are.

I see the brainwashed dotards are ranting on lies.

The Demoncrats haven't actually believed in Democracy in a long, long time. You think you have the right to tell everyone else how to live their lives! You don't! Look at what you idiots have done to what used to be the envy of the nation. [Reply ]
