Well said. I’m in Arizona now, a year from being eligible to retire. I spent some time in Texas as a young airman. I may end up joining you there.
America is now controlled by Satan.
Excellent Post my FRiend.
President Reagan famously said that we were merely a Generation away from losing our Freedoms. A Wiser Man I will never meet.
Can’t say I disagree with anything you wrote.
I am nearly 62 Years old and I thought the Carter Days were dragging this Country into the Abyss. Little did I know.
Sadly, those days seem like a trip to Disneyland.
Take care of your Family, appreciate who your true Friends are and Pray that your fellow Citizens will wake from their Obama inspired Socialist Stupor.
Good point, in chaos and disorder, Texans will be inclined to be pioneer like and set about restoring order, making things work, cooperating with fellow Texans, and not tolerating the rise of dangerous predators.
When things go wrong, a strong people, feeling strong tribal identity can make things work, and Texans are so very Texan.
Silently clapping. I think we are all hurting like you. You always say it so well. It is a brief time to watch and wait, but we do need to right this course very soon. Liberty will out, but what will we have to go through to get there? Please Gd have mercy on us all.
Well said. Thank you. We moved from CA last summer, to join family in Maine. Wish we’d moved to Texas.
Two paths at the same time:
1. Support Ted Cruz with my money, my time, and my prayers.
2. Shopping list: gold, silver, lead, brass, food, medicine, soap, . . .
The current path is unacceptable and unsustainable.
I am almost 60 and will never live long enough to to see a return of the US.
For me the fight’s over and I am working on leaving the country.
This is not the country my parents fled the Iron Curtain to reside in.
Obama was that point of no return.
...” all I can say is that, now isn’t the time for me to ramble, but to digest, contemplate, plan, and prepare”..... 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.”...
Yes Windflier, and many here can relate no doubt. Your righting was very moving and hit home with me. Thank you for sharing as it’s comforting to me reading your words for in them there is still hope...no matter how dim that light is burning now.
I agree Ted Cruz may be the last hope we can change this tide that’s sweeping our nation...but moreso has taken over our governance in full....when I saw the White House lit in gay colors so many emotions swept over me, from shock to fear, anger and great sadness...and it hung on as that for a couple days....until....I was lead to this opinion piece is by Russell Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. It reminded my that we are now where we were as Christians in the beginning...and should have been all along.
I will trust the Lord to give you a few moments to read this worthy piece as you prepare.
This is what happens when the culture turns to drugs.
We all know it is unraveling, but I didn't see it happening at this speed.
There is almost a surreal aspect to it for me.
It is hard for me to wrap my mind around what appears to be the near total corruption of all branches of our present government, judicial, legislative and executive.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Windflier. I think a lot of us are having similar feelings. My family and I live in California, but I’m a native Texan, and I’m starting to wonder if we shouldn’t move back now rather than waiting until retirement.
I feel very socially isolated here in California. Just tonight, I skipped a monthly games night, held at a friend’s house, that I usually go to, because I knew I couldn’t hear all their crowing about “gay pride” without wanting to take someone’s head off. And I’m sick to death of hearing casual references to “evil Republicans” among acquaintances here. It’s very wearing.
Post; thread BUMP! Thanks.
Windy, you know better than anyone on FR ever will what I think about pity for anyone that contributed to this fiasco by action or inaction. And this latest literal affront to God and all his Angels does nothing but reinforce it for me.
That said, At this point all we can do is hug a loved one and wait for the inevitable race war, terror strikes and sharped dressed men in snappy black suits with fashionably accessorized Rainbow armbands to come knocking.
Lesser evil was more important than greater good. Staying part of online cliques was more important than principle. Reality TV and football were more important than starving propaganda outlets of operating capital. Most of America is getting exactly what it asked for and it should. It sucks for those that stood strong. It sucks worse for the families and loved ones they strove to protect. But history shows that’s always the case.
When this all comes apart. Any day now at the rate of advance, some of us will remain to clean up the ashes. Such is the lesson of history. And those people will be the ones responsible for bringing back what the gutless wonders sacrificed in a fruitless effort to appease evil.
I say this semi sarcastically, semi ironically for the gamers I pinged. But it’s really true.
“War. War never changes.” Nor do it’s causes, it’s outcomes or the people ALWAYS responsible. Liberals in what ever form or political stripe the era creates them.
Good post - mirrors most of my thoughts/sentiments. Stay strong - the world that is coming will need some strength to lean on as Evil gains ground.
Woof.
