Here's some info from a local blogger that is also a history buff. He walks his dog Molly every morning and she gives him insight.
Somehow Molly The Wonder Dog has gotten the idea that I was suppose to buy her a bunch of chocolate for tomorrow's big holiday. She's going to be disappointed when I don't. The real message here is another lesson from history. See, the Romans started this whole thing off with their holiday of Lupercalia:
"... seems to be that the Roman festival involved two nearly naked young men slapping everyone around them with pieces of goat skin. According to the ancient writer Plutarch, some young married women believed that being hit with the skins promoted conception and easy childbirth. ...."
Then the Catholic Church came along with their martyrs:
... supposedly a Roman priest who performed secret weddings against the wishes of the authorities in the third century. Imprisoned in the home of a noble, he healed his captor’s blind daughter, causing the whole household to convert to Christianity and sealing his fate. Before being tortured and decapitated on February 14, he sent the girl a note signed “Your Valentine.”
... another saint named Valentine during the same period was the Bishop of Terni, also credited with secret weddings and martyrdom via beheading on February 14. ....
It appears that the Catholics had a hard time with this Lupercalia Holiday .... naked guys running around and women participating:
... with a Christian effort to replace the older holiday of Lupercalia, which Romans celebrated on February 15. Some modern stories paint Lupercalia as a particularly sexy holiday, when women wrote their names on clay tablets which men then drew from a jar, pairing up random couples. .....
The church moved their Valentine Holiday to cover the same date as that nasty Roman one. BUT, at first, the churches idea had no connection with Cupid ..... until:
In the 1370s or 1380s, he [Chaucer] wrote a poem called "Parliament of Fowls" that contains this line: “For this was on Saint Valentine’s Day, when every bird comes there to choose his mate.”....

This imposition of one groups idea over another group has been going on for eons. The libtard progressives are desperately trying to do this same thing now. They just hate the American ideal that we grew up with. The idea that just because a skin is white ..... to these white libtards, that makes a person racist. Whats even more astounding is the solution that these liberals have:
Supreme Court Vacancy: No White nor Male Folk Need Apply
... Biden’s desire for black representation in the Court should come as quite a shock to the esteemed Justice Clarence Thomas, against whom Biden attempted to carry out a “high-tech lynching” in order to prevent his selection just thirty years ago. ...

The other astounding evidence that we have is that only white people seem to be affected by this self-inflected mental disorder. It appears these liberals are adamant in their efforts to suck us down with them.
Speaking of mental disorders, I'm sure there's a name for those who see an action ..... but completely ignore it. Kinda like our current Olympics where China is extreme in there repugnant treatment of those they control ..... and our libtards ignore that but pee their pants on the Jan 6th riots ..... oh yes, lets not talk about any antifa riots being ignored.
Again and again we hear judy woodenhead on PBS say there was no voter fraud, awww do you think she's got her libtard goggles on? ..... Peanut is desperate to hide how his junta is illegitimate:
