almost every day..
when someone down the block is living better than me, driving near new cars while I drive a 200,000+ mile car to jobs I begs and fight for (I am a contractor) don’t get me started on their new boat and other “toys” they somehow find the money to buy while happily telling you no one in the house works and are on disability.....
There are many times I just wana say f*&k it and join them. My boat ain’t new, but I can fish from it and that’s a lot more fun than working.
I blame my grandfather.. He’s the one that installed my work ethic... I just can’t seem to over ride it and sit on my ass all day.
America is different. You know what that one major difference is that gives tens of millions of Americans that edge over Hitlerbama?
The Second Amendment. When I say the masses will go renegade, I mean it. There are not enough Brown Shirts and not enough cattle cars in this country to sustain the Third Reich that B. Hussein has in mind for us. We have them outgunned.
I am still trying to win that lottery.
If FR ever skips a quarterly fundraiser, it might have been me but I won’t tell.
Oh heck yeah! And carry through with it once in a while.
and becomming a deadbeat like the other people that some of your hard earned tax money goes to.
No. Never. Not once.
Become a hermit, fish/hunt/plant&harvest for food, yeah, I think about that. But the wife & kids keep that from being a real choice.
Seriously? Did you opinion of him drop like a rock at that point?
The beast is pushing We the People to choose up sides, either to be freemen or bondmen. While none of us want to be abused and it is natural to avoid being on the receiving end of abuse, in the heavenly court it will be better to be the abused rather than the abuser, the innocent victim rather than the perp.
Who are we, children of Sarah or children of Hagar?
Galatians 4:28-31
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Chofetz Chaim - "When Moshiach Comes No One Will Be Sitting On The Fence"
Rav Elya Weintraub says that the Chofetz Chaim explains as follows. "All innocent" and "all guilty" does not mean that everyone is on the same side of the fence. It just means that everyone sits squarely on one side of the fence. In order for the Moshiach to come the world must be completely polarized. Everyone must choose where they belong, with Hashem or Chas V'Shalom the opposite.

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
My kids are working their way through college so that they will not graduate in debt. I feel like a chump making them do that. By the time they graduate, Obama and the Democrats will have forgiven all of the student debt (meaning that we will be paying for it).
All those poor colleges and universities need their exponentially increasing tuition to pay for their Obamacare.
We have qualified for the Earned Income Tax Credit in recent years, a gimmedat for the working poor. It was our only source of gummint aid. It amounted to about $3000 per year on the average, and we relied on it to purchase school materials.
My conscience was bugging me. We opted not to take it from now on. I don’t want to be a part of the stealing machine.
Freedom. God will take care of us. I am going to build some custom caskets in the shop and see if folks are interested, as an added source for retirement.
Only spoke to him once after that, and only because I had to . . . .
I sometimes think of getting a driver’s license for an illegal with a fake identity so I can keep getting my paycheck while sponging off the gov.
I hope you’re right. I hope people don’t give up their guns when ordered to.
I know I won’t. They were all lost in a horrible boating tragedy anyway. (I see a lot of us are having those same sad problems..)
Yeah, I can’t compartmentalize. Once I know something like that about someone —if I find out they supported Obama, democrats, etc. — I can never look at them in the same light again.
“We opted not to take it from now on.”
Good for you. I didn’t realize not taking it was even an option on the 1040.
Lots of foster parents and guardians carry EBT cards. It is often because a court has ordered these benefits for the charges. I wouldn’t be so quick to draw conclusions just because you see a card.
Good to know, thanks.
A version of this is my plan for sure. I plan to buy a plot of land for cash and put up a few tiny houses, say three. Continue raising my own food (pork, chicken, veggies, lamb) and rent out two of the units for help and a little cash. Off-the-grid, no utilities. Bills are WAY low. Go on all the assistance programs I can and call it retirement. Overall I consider it to be a return of stolen property, hence defensible both logically and morally.
No. Never. I would prefer death and hopefully a happy greeting from St Peter.
“Become a hermit, fish/hunt/plant&harvest for food, yeah, I think about that. But the wife & kids keep that from being a real choice. “
Maybe when the kids grow up.
I’ve been pushing my husband to live a simpler, self-sufficient lifestyle for years now. I planted the seed and he’s finally decided he’s tired to working to support this fascist country. We don’t need ‘stuff’ all that much.
One of my two grandfathers came here from [redacted] with essentially the clothes on his back, and a desire to build something better. He worked in a factory, built 3 businesses, served in the US Navy, married a good woman and raised three fine sons; his grandchildren and great-grandchildren carry on his legacy of faith, family, honest work, and Service. The political elites, illegal aliens, and welfare parasites spit in his face (and, by extension, mine) and crap on his legacy ... I shall not join them. To Hell with them. Don’t give in to despair; in your darkest moments turn to The Lord. Honest labor is one of His gifts to us. He who built the whole of creation made us in His Image and Likeness. In our honest work, we reflect His Honest Work.
Ever ask yourself why we're having those problems? It's because, once again, we have consented and been entirely complicit in the destruction of the 2nd Amendment. I do not see where the 2A states "Shall not be infringed, as long as you have a background check". We all know they are keeping the records of our purchases. The FFL is required to keep them for 20 years. If it weren't for those FFL dealers willing to urinate all over the Bill of Rights just to make a little cash...if it weren't for us who CONSENT to that destruction by purchasing from FFL's, we wouldn't have nearly the amount of "boating accidents" we have today.
