I haven't been commenting much lately because my mind is simply on overload right now. I'll bet yours is, too.
About all I can say is that, now isn’t the time for me to ramble, but to digest, contemplate, plan, and prepare.
I’ve spent years at this forum spilling my guts and taxing my synapses. The exchange of viewpoints with others, and even the verbal fisticuffs, has been rewarding in many ways for me.
But recently something’s taken hold of me that’s hard to explain. I guess I’ve quieted down due to the storm clouds I see gathering on the horizon. The low rumble of thunder is just barely heard, but I feel it in my bones. I’ve stepped back from the roundtable, and am now intently gazing at what approaches from the far distance. I can’t take my eyes off it. It’s distracted me from the hearty and boisterous conversation around me.
I’m obviously not the only one who notices, but unlike most, I’m having a hard time talking about it. My survival instincts are kicking in, and all I can seem to think about is doing what I must, to protect my family and myself.
Well, enough with the poetry. I know you get my drift.
I still harbor a great deal of hope that we can propel a conservative champion into the White House in 2016, and help to end our collective nightmare. I've become convinced that Ted Cruz is the one person who has the capacity to unite the good and decent people of this country, and that he's a man who has the requisite courage and backbone to do what must be done to rein in our tyrannical government. I am backing him 100%, and will do everything in my humble ability to see that he becomes our nominee.
For one, Ted is the very first candidate I’ve ever sent money to. Considering the fact that I’ve been voting since 1972, that’s saying something. The way I see it, this is our very last chance to steer the ship of state away from the rocks before she finally crashes, and I have got to do what I can, to avoid what will surely follow, should we fail. I do not want to look my teenaged children in the eyes in a few short years, and say, “I’m sorry kids. You shouldn’t have to risk your lives to save your country, but my generation was just too weak to keep things from coming to this.”
Although it’s incumbent upon me to stay up to date on the tragic unraveling of America, I’m doing my best to not become completely overwhelmed by the course of events. I’ve got a business to run and a family to provide for. That comes first, above all else. That, I will do, but more and more, I look to the Founders for guidance in these bleak and horrible times. Their personal stories, and the examples of heroism they provided, give me hope and strength to carry on in the face of a tyranny they would recognize at once.
In the past, I’ve prayed that our generation would not be called upon to earn our freedom as our forefathers of the 18th century did, but more and more, it appears that that hope is vain. Every day, a new page of history is printed, which in retrospect, will prove that our darkest fears were right on the mark, and that we were right to posit that this generation would either fail, or would pass the greatest test a people can face. I think we can agree that such thoughts are becoming more crystal clear by the day.
I was just telling my wife today, that I wish we could just pick up and move to our rural dream home. Right now.
If only it were possible. I need that solitude and sense of safety. Alas, it’s not to be — at least not for several more years — that is, if things in this country can even hold together.
One saving grace is that I’m in the great state of Texas. As I’ve often told my wife, if things in America go completely sideways, we’ll be safe here, because if (God forbid) the S does HTF, things will straighten up in Texas overnight, as the good men of this state WILL stand tall, and they WILL do their ancestors proud. My certainty about that outcome is just as strong as my gut certainty about the horrific trajectory of current events in this country.
I think every thinking patriot on FR is on the same page with this. It would be a wonderful thing if the ‘other side’ would simply let us be, but they won’t. They’re going to continue pushing until something breaks. It’s just how they roll.
In my heart, I honestly feel pity for them, because when they finally light the match on that prairie fire, no power on God’s green earth will be able to put it out.
I read Ferfal’s book years ago. Seems there is a delicate balance of being left alone and being involved. Too far either way may not be compatible with survival, which is the whole point.
Your absence had been duly noted. For this piece, splendid and true, your absence was the price to be paid. Thanks, Windy.
What is there to say, but for repentance, prayer, fasting, and understanding Ephesians 6.
It has to be true that we are battling now the prince of the air. God has surely lifted his hand from this place for a time. Perhaps, so that even the galactically stupid and the Godless will see what they will have wrought.
Truly this isn’t Kansas anymore, and it certainly isn’t politics. It is full force satanic attack.
Who are “my people”?
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and repent of their wicked ways, I will heal their land.”
“My People” are His Church. We have failed the Church and the Church has failed us. Together we have failed our Father in Heaven.
I am resigned that we will do nothing until our houses are breached. At that time we rely on the grace of God to be able to stand, to suffer or fall, or be martyred. It had crossed my mind that we Americans are of no greater value than the Coptic Christians, in the eyes of God. What to do with that thought? How many passes are we allowed, if it is true that “to whom much is given, much is expected”.
” Saint Michael, Archangel, Defend us in battle. Be our Protection against the wiles and wickedness of the devil; May God rebuke him we humbly pray;
O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into hell Satan and all his evil spirits Who wander through the world seeking the destruction of souls.”
God be with you and all of us. Rita
Touche, is where I find myself

Thanks. Bookmarking.
Well said, windflier!
This Highlander stands with you!
Bookmarking....
Well put, I agree with your sentiments.
I think that puts me in with some good folks/company.
God Bless.
Dawg ping!
Think of Lot. He could have said the same thing. How did that end for satan?
Do what Lot did.....keep the faith, persevere, keep hope as a virtue not an emotion, and know God has all the tools to rectify His creation in His own way and time. Don’t just be Lot’s wife!!!! Almost enough, but Not enough!
Bless you, dear FRiend. You’ve expressed the thoughts and feelings that many, here, and across this nation, are holding in our own hearts.
We Shall Stand Together....looking to Him - and His laws, who holds power, over all things.
I suppose your “going dark” comes from submarine lingo - when the enemy is near, the sub “goes dark” to keep from being detected.
Your statement about “going dark” is what I feel - stay out of the light as that makes one a good target to hit. I feel like doing that - so why did I just order an “Appeal To Heaven Flag” and will fly it on a flag pole in front of the house?
You see, I want to do both:
1. Go Galt: Hunker down, be prepared, ready to come up from the darkness to defend my liberty and way of life.
2. Fly my “Appeal To Heaven” flag in the light of day and night now and dare anyone to mess with me. I know someone may try to steal that flag.
Several months ago, someone stole our flag pole and our American Flag. Will have to buy another flag pole for the “Appeal To Heaven” flag.
I don't often get thoroughly mad (you don't want to mess with me when I am thoroughly mad, ok?), but I am now as I see the abomination of the homosexual colored lights on our White House. I think this country now spits in God's face with those colors on the White House.
A couple of weeks ago, a Taurus 1911 45, was added to our defense weapons. My emergency prepping is never over and I started in 1998.
If you go completely dark, I get it.
I’ve been the same way and not just because of the news, some of what is happening on FR is very depressing.
I have to wonder if we are not on the down hill to God’s judgement and they is no brake and we will be force to take the last great stand.
Just recently ordered the same flag, dear FRiend.
Blessings to you for all of your timely advice, over the years.
We are on the same page but I have a big mouth.
Mumble mumble...
True, at some point if they don’t stop pushing, there will be a backlash at some point. As Glenn Beck said at one time, we could see what America would look like under Robspierre. It’s amazing how for America has changed as I listen to American Top 40 from this week in 1975. The Hustle is playing now and the nation that produced it was so different than it is now.
When I was a kid we had spinsters and bachelors and no one cared. They were decent .
Now we have perverts waggling their dicks around at 3 year olds in the public schools
IT IS WRONG!!
