Benjamin Franklin, cited in All the Men of the Bible, by Herbert Lockyer.

I have a collection of memes regarding the LGBTXYZ agenda, some of which I found and posted on Facebook, but since FB is suspending accounts which post things of which FB does not approve I decided to make a post here with all these memes I've collected. This collection should provoke some thinking about the agenda and how 3% of the population is taking control of the other 97%.

Need and Greed
"Need" now means wanting someone else's money. "Greed" means wanting to keep your own. "Compassion" is when a politician arranges the transfer.

Knowledge vs Ignorance
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance. And a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
