Funny, I learned all that in 2008.
Sever all personal interaction with lefties, other than what you are required to do at work, and you will feel a lot better.
And cellphones. Don't forget cellphones.
Amen .... I was in the same classroom.
Who would have thought America would choose to walk to destruction of our system and government?
God forgive us, open our eyes to reality, we thank Thee for thy kindness, and blessing in our lives, in Jesus name, amen.
The American people have voted for an end to the rule of law. The looters have won and occupy the wheelhouse of power.
Ok, I read through many of the posts here and what I am getting is that the political divide is now going to poison Republicans/conservatives. So far, the political divide has been something that the left has pushed for more than 30 years but, now, because we are pi$$ed that our moderate candidate (who validated the history of moderates that they don’t win) lost, we are going to become dems.
Rather than pout and sulk and take our toys and go home, let’s give the left what it wants - a nation that doesn’t oppose their radicalism and hate. Let them stew in their own juice after we seceed from the United States of Liberal Loonyville.
When the left loses us, they lose the people who pay all the bills and give them the funds to buy more votes to oppose us politically. If we aren’t part of their liberal, loony schemes and agenda and they have to start paying their own way, liberalism won’t look so attractive to them.
But, I believe that realization is about 50 years or so down the road.
That Gilligan was an evil genius.
I wouldn't mind be on that island right now.
REMEMBER THIS DAY:
When the power goes off, not because of a storm, but due to lack of electric generating capacity because the EPA shut down all the coal-fired power plants
When a older loved one is denied a life-saving medical procedure because a Washington bureaucrat decided that treating him/her isn't cost-effective
When terrorist attacks on the homeland become a regular occurrence, because our enemies rightly perceive us as weak
When young men continue to come home from Afghanistan in body bags, killed by the Taliban forces that our leaders don't consider to be our enemies
When we start pushing around wheelbarrows full of worthless dollars to buy a loaf of bread
Go on, enjoy your moment now. Gloat all you want, but remember this: when the Chinese call in their loans, and economy collapses from an unsustainable level of debt, then CIVIL WAR II will be in the offing. That's something you WON'T be able to sit out ... you'll need to choose a side.
Choose wisely, and REMEMBER THIS DAY.
Welcome to 1996.
Funny....I learned some things too. I learned that hanging out at a site like FR here without scanning out around and getting other input can lead to mistaken perception of reality.
The reality is that the majority in this country, it seems, could give a shit about its future; they only wish to subsist for a pittance foresaking any chance to improve their wholesale lot for themselves and their heirs.
If they don’t succeed, they can blame it on anyone - rich people, white people, Americans who were born here of American citizens who themselves were born here.
So, what’s to do? Try and keep your children and grandchildren from being brainwashed in government schools. Sit them down every day and find out what bullshit they’ve been told. Correct it.
If you don’t own a gun, buy one. Buy one for each of your heirs. I’m not saying start a war, but each heir should be comfortable and proficient with one. Buy them, hide them if you have to. You can buy guns on Craigslist and don’t need a Form 4473.
Above all else, when you’re down, do something cathartic. Mine was a trip to the range this morning. I took my 1943 Colt US Government 1911 along with 250 rounds of 1942 45ACP ball ammo made by WCC and I shot. I shot until I felt better. On my last target sheet, I stuck the “I voted” sticker from Georgia and let have at it.
There’s an old Chinese saying about knowing yourself and your opponent. It basically says that in order to win, you have to understand your people and your opponent’s people. We make the mistake of believing that the Democrats feel and think like us. They don’t. We need to understand them to know their strengths and weaknesses. We don’t even understand our own party. Where’s old Reince Prebus today? Where’s Karl Rove? Where’s Ann Coulter? Where they should all be is looking for work. Pull away from Democrats? I hope not. If we understand them, then we can convince them to vote Republican. I strongly believe that it is in about 90% of our citizen’s best interest to vote Republican. Why are we losing when 90% of our population should just automatically vote Republican. It’s because the Democrats have them scared and jealous. No, all is not lost. The Democrats don’t own the future. They’re just money-grubbing grifters who need to be exposed. It’s actually fun work.
I learned one thing.... only one...
1) Voting is for chumps... a distraction for the politically unaware.. and that democrats use the “veil” of voting to fool the unwary.. and use them as tools like a corrupt mechanic..
What i learned last night is that the ancient Mayans were right, the world did end in 2012. A new world is lurching forth to take its place. Not unlike the Invasion of the Body Snatchers where it looks the same, sounds the same, but there is something completely alien and deadly that has taken over.
I also learned not to pay much attention to anecdotal accounts of what’s happening on the ground. Another thing i learned is to trust my gut instincts. I kept hearing that we’d win in a blowout, but it kept reminding me of what we were hearing back in ‘08 — that the polls are wrong, that republicans are going to show up and vote like never before, and oh boy is it gonna be fun watching MSNBC and checking out DU tonight.
(When i heard that Republican internals were showing a very tight race i knew it was going to be a long night. But i had no idea it was going to be this bad. I’m still in shock.)
This thread reminds me, I have a little sister that needs to be notified of her disowning.
Time to “Go Galt”.
