Bottom line: “Keep yer powder dry!”

[Fantasywriter]

Can’t be true. Perry said we’re not angry, merely “indignant”. Big difference.

[Personally, I think we’re seething.]

[The Shrew]

This is the kind of populist rhetoric that wannabe dictators and their minions love. Be careful what you wish for.

William Ayers responded to Larry Gratwohl, "I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say “eliminate,” I mean “kill.”

Twenty-five million people.

I think that we are in for something like the collapse of Argentina’s ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index), but a much more violent version. We have a larger entitlement minded population and a much more violent and armed population than Argentina and I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and see rape, robbery and murder for murder sake. Many of these ‘yutes’ will think no more about killing you than most people think about stepping on a roach. That will be the test of many. Most preppers I know are Christian people and they will hesitate to do what they might have to do to stop the ‘yutes’. On the other hand the ‘yutes’ won’t think twice nor lose a minute of sleep, in fact they will smile and laugh about it.

Think of this quote which is one of my favorites:

“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8)” (1998)
Quark: Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.

Now go look at some of the videos of the riots in the UK and of some of the flash mobs here in the US and look into there eyes.

For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:

http://www.tomeaker.com/kart/preparedness1i.pdf

For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.

As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3

Lastly this for the doubters and the scoffers.

“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.

Underestimation can be fatal.”

The government spending 160 percent of the government’s yearly income each year of Obama’s presidency is not helping. It is no wonder people are incensed. Cut the spending, you idiots in Washington!

My husband stopped at a Love’s truck stop to fill up his company truck last Friday. A black woman pulled up to a pump in a Mercedes, walked up to him and asked if he’d pay to fill her car up.

"We are incredibly spoiled. Most of us have only known good times, and most of us have been taught that we will have endless prosperity all of our lives"

Bullshit! I'm not spoiled, nor are most. I've experienced bad times, as have most. No one ever has been taught to expect endless prosperity, we've been taught that A=A, we've been taught the rules are what governed the game.

Idiots like the author of the above quote are a large part of the reason we are here. Such damn liars still lie and are deserved of quick redemption.

I can say with all conviction that I am no longer a prepper....I am prepared.

>> Most Americans just want to be able to go to work, make a decent living, pay the mortgage and provide for their families.

Who the hell wants to go to work, and pay for a mortgage? Nobody, that’s who!

Most yearn for the labor of love with the perks of financial success. That’s the American Dream!

Your Hope has been Redistributed. Here’s your damn Change!

The solutions are simple. Keep the government out of our lives and things will heal themselves. The reason this country was so great for so long was that we had a minimal of government interference. One only has to look at the Civil War to understand that government meddling in human affairs leads to disaster.

The problem with many Americans today is that they have been dumbed down to the point they actually think government can "fix" things, when in reality government is the problem, not the solution.

While I want people's lives to be as they once were in this country, I don't want things to get better why Bozo is in office, because then we run the risk of a second term of the communist SOB.

I have no great fear that he will learn from his mistakes because I believe his mistakes are deliberate and meant to bring us down.

The real danger of things not getting better before the elections is that we may have riots which would lead to declaration of Martial law and the tyrranization of the US will be complete, with a revolution being the only way back at that point.

#3 Gallup says that Barack Obama's job approval rating has hit an all-time low of 39%.

...

#14 According to one recent poll, 39 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. economy has now entered a "permanent decline".

See a problem here? On the one hand 39% is "an all-time low", and on the other hand it is pessimism in flood tide. Rhetoric!

1 Statistic Which Proves That The American People Are Not Angry At All

I don't see any politicians in this country walking around in fear of their lives. In fact, they all -- Democrat and Republican alike -- seem quite content.

[monocle]

Well, as I have written about previously, globalism is absolutely devastating our economy. Millions of our jobs have been shipped to countries where labor is far, far cheaper and they aren't coming back.e

It is not hourly wages which cause outsourcing but indirect costs such as health insurance, paid vacations, payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, retirement contributions, OSHA, EPA and ill-conceived energy policies which drive employers outsource to foreign countries.

There is NO solution under present Federal structure..

However...

The American job machine doesn’t start until someone in DC grabs a history text and starts reading about Warren Harding...and acting on it.

Warren Harding figured it out in 1920...

Congress and the Executive Branch have lots to do.

So far they’re not doin’ it right..

Its been done before..

Harding cut the government’s budget nearly in half between 1920 and 1922. The rest of Harding’s approach was equally laissez-faire. Tax rates were slashed for all income groups. The national debt was reduced by one-third. The Federal Reserve’s activity, moreover, was hardly noticeable. As one economic historian puts it, “Despite the severity of the contraction, the Fed did not move to use its powers to turn the money supply around and fight the contraction.” 2 By the late summer of 1921, signs of recovery were already visible. The following year, unemployment was back down to 6.7 percent and was only 2.4 percent by 1923.

BTW..ole Warren ALSO fixed immigration...

Mr. Harding signed into law the Emergency Quota Act[3] which sought to control immigration following World War I and preserve the distinctive American culture by ensuring the majority of immigrants came from the historically compatible cultures of Northern Europe. This law aimed to bring wages of hard working Americans under control by limiting immigration to 3% of the 1910 census. It was followed on by a similar act in 1924, after Mr. Harding’s death.[4]

A Warren Harding prescription...if filled ...would ignite the afterburners on the US job machine and the economy. However DC would have to yield on a tremendous amount of power. Our job as We the People...is to persuade them of the “utility” ..shall we say..of doing so. In all probability the same minds that made the mess...aren’t capable of the solution however.

BTW any takers that ‘Bammy couldn’t even tell you that Warren Harding was one of his predecessors in office?

Even more telling about what our betters in the RinoCracy think of a Constitutional President..
