Embrace the machine, starve the system, position traditional conservatism and liberty
The Nov. 6 big win (let's not kid ourselves about this) for the progressive agenda reveals some changes in America that we, as conservatives, cannot ignore. It is apparent that the American ideal has changed over the last 60 or so years such that a traditional conservative viewpoint is no longer relative. Traditional Americans have few options to steer the ship or promote the Founder's vision. We frankly lost because there are too many who get a slice of government cheese and don't want to (or can't) risk losing it.
Embrace the machine, starve the system, position traditional conservatism as the only rationl solution.
Entitlement growth including EBT, food-stamps, housing and education assistance, single parenthood, rejection of traditional marriage has a clear end-game. The result is an automatic vote from this wedge of the electorate. All of us, regardless of need, should leverage any benefit that we technically or legally qualify. The rules for many entitlements with regard to ID and proof of need have been relaxed. Use the new rules to advantage. There are "free" legal services available to "help" ensure you qualify (answer the questions right), use them. If denied, use the free services to appeal.
When the healthcare law kicks in - use your new weapon of free medical services. Have every ache and malady investigated, get a second opinion. Demand the most up-to-date therapy. It is your right. Appeal every denial of service.
Stop giving to private charity (this is a tough one). Limit who you help to individuals in your personal circle. It is now the State's responsibility to clothe the poor and feed the hungry. Force the state to accept this role in its entirety.
Support the expansion of the entitled. Campaign to reduce requirements on benefits. Expand the pool.
Support the regulatory push that hobbles our extraction and harvest of resources (gas, oil, coal, forestry). New wealth pumped into the progressive machine will only help sustain it. Reduce the creation of new wealth into the system.
Promote the anthropolgical global warming hoax. Regulations and initiatives in the name of global warming reduce new wealth. Embrace it.
Establish economic relationships outside of the system. Establish commodities as a means of trade. Gold for the big stuff, junk silver coins for everyday, goods and services where you can. Challenge yourself to use less currency each month but still enjoy the comforts.
Use your personal resources wisely. The crash is coming, with some very black years ahead. Those who are prepared and can excel in the darkest days will be the ones society looks to for advice and leadership. Prepare yourself and your children to lead.
Resist the temptation to believe the machine can be fixed, it can't.
springtime means a 50cc scooter. no cycle tabs needed in MN, cheap on gas means less money to the gas tax and less $ for choo choo trains.

Great post, you took the words right out my mouth.
You might be right about this. I suppose there is no reason it couldn't be both.
You got that right. When the entitlment slugs realize that the tap has gone dry, they are going to be looking for us.
My sister and I both own small businesses. We discussed this and plan to close them when our leases/franchise agreements run out, putting several people out of work and ending services to many women in need. It will create waves in our communities, but as Dabney Taggert stated in the most recent “Atlas Shrugged” installment: “We’re not in business to run a charity...shut it down!”.
Reach out to them with a free iPhone (rather than a cheap Obamaphone) and an American Express card (instead of an EBT card).
“we will do what the people of the old USSR did; we are going to live “na levo.” The rough translation is “on the side.” We will create our own underground economy, where barter rules, and theft from the government fuels it.”
That is a great tip. My wife’s family is from the ex-USSR. I am going to get on the horn today and get some info from her father. One thing he did in the USSR was run childrens clothes from Moscow to Lithuania as a little black market side business.
We are all going to need off the books side gigs now. Time to start them up.
Make sure that those who are disappointed that you’re no longer providing services understand that the country’s vote for socialism means just that - they need to go to the gov’t now for their needs.

“Go Galt is exactly the phrase I woke up with too.”
I swear to you that those were the first words out of my mouth to Mrs. panax this morning.
Or, help crash the system so that they HAVE to support themselves like the rest of us do.
>>> I believe you are right except I want to be alive when it happens and I want to die know there is a future of liberty for my son and future grandchildren.
The only liberty in anyone’s future is for those who will escape the coming tribulation as a born again believer in Jesus Christ.
Point being... we are THAT close to the events foretold in the book of Revelations.
That is exactly what independent entrepeneurial types will do.
Crap, I meant entitlement slugs. I am so pissed, I can’t even spell our enemy.
Back in the early 70’s, I was newly-married, in college, and getting by on a meager part-time income. I applied for and received food stamps, even though we could have manged without them. My rationale was, if the government is stupid enough to hand them out to someone who would not otherwise starve, I should be smart enough to take advantage of them.
After about six months I could not continue living with that decision, when I realized that it wasn’t the government that provided food stamps, but hard-working men and women; taxpayers in other words. So I un-enrolled. To this day that remains the only government hand-out I’ve ever received, and not one I am proud of.
So before you reverse course and put your values aside for the sake of a political end, think long and hard about it. Just be sure you are willing to engage in that kind of non-violent warfare, because that’s what it is.
This is what has needed to happen all along.
I wanted to throw up over that stuff about “moving left”. Then why bother with a “separate” party at all?
The fact is that we didn’t fight them hard enough. We let the left go too far, and now we are going to play hell pushing things back to the point of anything remotely moderate, decent, & sensible.
America voted for White genocide last night. Literally. White genocide & Christian genocide. Haiti, Jamaica, the Reconstruction, & South Africa.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I'd be interested in what they have to say. I'm sure there is some advice available that would be useful.
When both parties compete with each other to see which one can buy the most votes with Federal Reserve funny money, that will crash the system PDQ.
