Seriously considering going Galt (YAV - Yet Another Vanity)
Vanity ^ | November 7, 2012 | ConservativeInPa

Posted on 11/07/2012 4:55:13 PM PST by ConservativeInPA

For quite a while I have been considering going Galt. This election is a tipping point for me. I live on PA and things are not getting better. But living in PA isn't the entire problem. There has been a progressive assault on freedom and liberty in our nation for decades.

Are there others considering going Galt or off the grid?

Who will fight with us? Who will fight for 2014? Who will fight for America? Who will ride to the rescue of Lady Liberty?

Unless you mean actually fight (as in swords and guns) there is no point.

Yes. My family and I are going Galt. Purchasing only necessary day to day living items. Other than that no purchases. We are not exchanging Christmas gifts. Dinner with family, church. I will not give this economy one iota of an uptick so this douchebag in the WH can claim a better 4th quarter.

I am done. We also sold our home in Florida and moved to Tennessee. Love it here. Red state.

Starting my fourth year. Was going to reenter but not now. IMO, have the wisdom to realize when you’re in a hole and it’s time to stop digging.

I will demonstrate, march and do whatever I have to do for my country. I am part of the tea party, 912 project etc., but I am going Galt. I WILL STARVE THIS BEAST. They want HANDOUTS, they’re not getting it from me.

I'm with you AppyPappy. I posted this earlier this afternoon on another thread -

I woke up thinking about this quote from Thomas Paine in 1776 -
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. "

It strikes me that going Gault is sort of like escaping from the Matrix.

Consider those things portions of your fruits, taken by this regime, go to fund. Abortion, illegal immigration, gun control, promotion of homosexuality, indoctrination of our youth, 47% population dependency, war on coal, war on fracking, war on our faith to mention only a few.

Don't you think the height of stupidity is continuing to fund our own destruction?

Respectfully,

It's actually a great strategy. If even 30% of those who voted against Benghazi Barry went Galt , it would starve the Monkey( FEDZILLA ) just enough to capsize the system. When the Monkey dies , no more ebt cards . When that happens things are gonna get very ugly . Mostly in blue state inner city cesspools . Death to the Monkey !

There is the unlimited printing of money to contend with. But that can’t last forever... Eventually, we’ll probably be forced into some kind of slave labor. But that’s only twice as bad as what we have now and they would then have to feed, house and transport us... ;)

Family (cohesive) philosophy faith-freedom (studied discussed), shelter (secondaries available) food (storing) protection (practiced) fuels (alternatives available) work (productive) health (practiced) spending (stopped funding anything socialist & most unnecessary) optimism (very high for this collective) enjoyment of life (every minute)

Some categories need more work...others are solid. Produce prepare conserve. It’s fun. It’s easy.

You are comparing times that are different. Back in 1998 and up until recently there were more producers than takers. Now it's about a new generation being even more indoctrinated to expect stuff as they leave their centers of propaganda, not to mention the increasing race baiting, and those who are to proud to wash dishes.

I'm sorry old MFJ bro, but it's going to take an economical collapse before the socialists wise up. Just today I cut off another liberal friend because she just couldn't understand simple economics and has lost commonsense. Count me as GALT. I'm done with the political system - I await the implosion as I head off to Arizona.

Sir - you are most correct.

Sure, we can bitch & moan and pontificate endlessly about why Romney lost or Obama won or why so many Americans are stupid. We can tear our sleeves, mourn, and even lay down.

Or we can fight. We can stand, not for a candidate, but for ourselves. We can tell both parties, and those other nefarious groups (unions/acorn/media/etc) that we are NOT going to roll over.

I plan on starting a thing called I-CAN (Indiana Conservative Action Network). We will (hopefully) be able to hold CIVICS classes in the local library - Constitution, History, Social/Governmental Theory w/some solid conservative principles.

I am hoping to start a grassroots campaign (on the local level and eventually the state level) to return integrity to the election process. Actual prosecution of voter fraud, tighter controls, etc...

“I live on PA and things are not getting better. But living in PA isn’t the entire problem.”

Granted, Philadelphia, Scranton and Pittsburgh aren’t places to be in or even near, but PA is a large state with a “conservative middle”, and there are plenty of “Galt’s Gulches” to be found there, where one can hide right in plain sight. Just came back from one on election day.

I still have faith in the lawsuits filed on religious grounds and that God know’s the way to defeat this evil.

I just love all this "give up and screw 'em" talk. What a bunch of summer soldier, pathetic pink baby-men. The Democrats NEVER do this absurd self-flagellating surrender whining.

You make me sick. You make me physically ill when I think of what giants like Washington, Churchill and the doomed Seals at Benghazi were up against.

Go off the grid and take all the (non) principled FR losers with you. Bunch of gutless punks.

Drop DEAD!

Let 'em all go off the grid. After a while they'll start whining because "its too hard and takes too much work". Idiots. Its better to thin the herd of these diapered, fainting goats than all the RINOs who actually stand up to the Left.

Our guys survived the Bataan for THIS? Let these off-the-gridders eat SHIT! (I assume this is a profanity thread)

Should have been “Bataan death march”, but you know what I meant dammit!

The ironic thing is that Obama has been President for 4 years now. The man ain’t exactly shown that he is shot in the ass with initiative. If he was going to build concentration camps, I think we would see some construction by now.

4 more years of golf and NBA games is going to be about it.

I’d be hauling ass out of California though.
