Wasnāt there some saying about taking the narrow road vs. taking the one everyone else is traveling on?

13 āEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Ohh! The biblical reference that was changed to fit contemporary context.

The Bible (Revelations) is very specific when mentioning the Church! The priest is probably correct and that next super power is China and Russia.

Iām responding to your old post.
Paul Harvey was a radio man, conservative and patriotic (despite his affiliation with ABC), operating from Chicago.
He had a long Saturday piece titled āIf I was the devilā or something like that.

Yes I do recall listening to him on Saturdays when I was younger.
Think about this in the bigger perspective
Not only did the media claim Trump stole the election, Hillary wrote a book about it, actors made a video asking Electors to change their vote, BLM/Antifa tried to storm the WH, and they even had a play where they murder Trump every night.
Tell me how this story ends when they eliminate Trump?

The left (Democrats) have gone too far for there to be any reconciliation, donāt you think?

Depends on if you are talking about Democrats or what the real problem isā¦ the far left, loony progressives that have wrested power from real Democrats. Real Democrats are actually sane people. I donāt agree with them politically most of the time but, I can talk with them, disagree with them and then have a beer with them. My inlaws were Democrats. We had good times togetherā¦ we just disagreed politically.
The nut case progressives are f***ing worthless idiots that should be carted away in straight jackets.

Without a doubt ! They have to work for a living , unlike the 60% of the leaches that live on the government tit . The only one that have the time to fight the government are the freeloaders and they are happy collecting !

The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The question is: Where did the narrow one lead to?
I think you know where the narrow one leads toā¦ even if you donāt follow Jesus.

Robert Frost wrote āThe Road Not Takenā as a joke for a friend, the poet Edward Thomas. When they went walking together, Thomas was chronically indecisive about which road they ought to take andāin retrospectāoften lamented that they should, in fact, have taken the other one. Soon after writing the poem in 1915, Frost griped to Thomas that he had read the poem to an audience of college students and that it had been ātaken pretty seriously ā¦ despite doing my best to make it obvious by my manner that I was fooling. ā¦ Mea culpa.ā However, Frost liked to quip, āIām never more serious than when joking.ā As his joke unfolds, Frost creates a multiplicity of meanings, never quite allowing one to supplant the otherāeven as āThe Road Not Takenā describes how choice is inevitable.
Frost wrote this poem at a time when many men doubted they would ever go back to what they had left. Indeed, shortly after receiving this poem in a letter, Edward Thomasās Army regiment was sent to Arras, France, where he was killed two months later.
When Frost sent the poem to Thomas, Thomas initially failed to realize that the poem was (mockingly) about him. Instead, he believed it was a serious reflection on the need for decisive action. (He would not be alone in that assessment.)
Frost was disappointed that the joke fell flat and wrote back, insisting that the sigh at the end of the poem was āa mock sigh, hypo-critical for the fun of the thing.ā The joke rankled; Thomas was hurt by this characterization of what he saw as a personal weaknessāhis indecisiveness, which partly sprang from his paralyzing depression. Thomas presciently warned Frost that most readers would not understand the poemās playfulness and wrote, āI doubt if you can get anybody to see the fun of the thing without showing them & advising them which kind of laugh they are to turn on.ā Edward Thomas was right, and the critic David Orr has hailed āThe Road Not Takenā as a poem that āat least in its first few decades ā¦ came close to being reader-proof.ā
Our choices are made clear in hindsight.

Depends on oneās point of view. The narrow road can lead to many places.
Interesting story and I enjoyed learning about this poem. Thanks for sharing.

I think itās too far gone for civility to return. When thinking about this on a deeper level my contempt for the left for undermining my vote is palpable and that goes without saying. Point is it was the left that decided to burn that bridge and now itās war. Here we are.
