NH used to be Conservative, and mostly (landwise) still is, but all the hippie dopers Masshole trustafarians moved into Portsmouth and turned the place into a giant, skunkweed smelling, woke co-op.

It’s in the home. God founded the family to build civilizations. America destroyed the family in two ways. The black community by not having a father (man) around to the white community eliminating fathers by divorce.
For several decades there has not been an entire family living under one roof where a step parent wasn’t present. That goes for most all races.
If we cannot as so called Christians keep our families together how do we expect to keep churches and nations together. When a nation forsakes God it cannot stand. We knew that but sin has won the day. Tozier wrote that
we have not a quiet time in our day to think about our God. He was right.

“...and can get cattle, goats and sheep cheap if the need arises.”

If the need arises that livestock will not be cheap and neither will anything else in your list. If you want it cheap then buy now.

Sure you can hunt critters but so will almost half of Kentucky.

Not trying to bring you down but preparedness is having the right stuff on hand before the need arises. This includes understandings worked out with your neighbors on how to respond to a crisis.

I’m originally from NC so familiar with that neck of the woods. Does east TN (west side of the mountains) get a lot of tornadoes and bad storms? Seems that the mountains make the weather quite different between western NC and eastern TN.

Why not stay and fight the leftists off?

PA has wavered for years but Trump changed that. I believe Trump demolished Biden here, as most people with a shred of logic do.

I still believe there’s more than enough of us to try and stave these demons off. Maybe it’s misplaced faith...but rather than roll over and sacrifice another 18-20 electoral votes, I’d rather stay and continue to speak the truth.

A long time ago I realized that members of FR take on different roles.
Here are some:
1) Posters: Scouring the internet to provide us with chum to chew on.
2) Fact Checkers: Those that demand a link, call BS or provide the real data.
3) Enforcers: Those that demand FR etiquette be observed.
4) Insiders: Those that prove they have been here a long time via Moose, cheese, shower, series and hugh.
5) Trolls: You know what those are.
6) Lurkers: Those to scared to swim the icy waters of FR but eventually do jump in. Apprentice to one of the other rolls.
7) Vanities: Those that believe their opinion is important enough to have its own thread. Too much trouble to post real article on the subject.
8) Pundits: Those that have an opinion about everything, although they admit they did not read the article.
9) Ping Listers: Those that carve out an interest group and keep them aware of what is going on.

And I am sure there are others.

“Wyoming, Alaska, Oklahoma, the Dakotas”

WYOMING: Liberal/leftist influx is happening as we speak.

ALASKA: One wrong decision out in the bush, one cut, sprain, coupled with fast changing weather patterns, and you are done. Besides, everything is jacked up price wise. But if you are out in the wilds and traveling along a rail bed, you can flag a train down and they are required to stop and pick you up. Also the black flies could choke a moose and the skeeters are so big... How big? The skeeters are so big... they can screw a turkey flatfoot.

OKLAHOMA: uh? Really? Unless you are out around or in the Cimarron... perhaps.

The DAKOTA’S: ND Maybe, SD is too close to Nebraska. I like Nebraska, the paternal side of my family reside there. But their politics are weird for that region.

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is remote but the state is broken.

That’s all I got. If you like wild pig hunting and lots of it... SC, AL, MISS, TX... just sayin’

I would recommend on the ashes and ruins of the lefties that infest this Republic and our political system, but that’s just me.

I have lived a lot of places but I am from and have retired back to West Texas which is about as conservative politically as you can get. But West Texas is a good example of the problem posed by what I woud call “ideological migration” and that is we are only a region of Texas-—a state where liberal intrusion in it worst forms (anti 2nd amendment, green new deal etc.) will eventually reach us and the “blessings of place” will no longer be ours. One way is to establish a rational conservative “place” would be by bargaining, consent and divorce which I cannot see as possible lacking the characteritic lack of good will on the part of liberals. The other way would be the massive (an I do mean massive) movement of conservative popuations to smaller (liberal)geographical states to overwhelm their political political culture and governrmental institutions and to spread this effort to sucessively larger states. But this effort cannot suceed by individual initiative, rather it has to planned, organized and intentional to form a conservative nation.

SW Missouri - NW Arkansas

Reasonable to low housing prices. Conservative area. NW Arkansas have to be careful lots of ‘immigrants’ due to chicken plants. Look at housing in El Dorado Springs, MO - very conservative here. Housing really cheap. Springfield MO or Joplin MO area - again conservative. Weather nice, 4 seasons, access to jobs and healthcare.

There is a young couple who posts videos on Facebook and youtube under the name Wild Wonderful Off-Grid. They have been building an A-Frame style house by themselves for the last year or so in the mountains of WV. The husband is an electrician by trade. The wife is a stay at home mom of three. She home schools the kids.

This is much better than anything on HGTV. These two are actually building this entire house by themselves. They are not subbing out anything that I can tell. They are living in a travel trailer while the house is being built.
They occasionally bring in help to install large heavy items like a plate glass window.

One segment deals with the erection of a solar array. He(the electrician) and his wife installed the array about 150 yards from the house on a steel pipe structure. This location had better solar gain throughout the day. He stated(I emailed him) that it cost about $7700 to install the complete solar array. Not including the battery storage. Again, this is just the materials cost. Not including his labor. They rented equipment to bury the underground cables, etc.
he also, stated they planned on building a shed to house the batteries so that they would NOT be inside attached to the house(due to fire concerns).

His main reason for installing a solar array was because his local electric company wanted the same amount to bring power to their location up on a mountain.

In addition, he stated they also have a stream on their property and planned to add a water power generator in the future.

The current Federal government solar tax CREDIT is 26% for the 2021 year. There may also be a KY state tax credit. However, these may not matter to you because I believe you stated previously you were retired.

I completely agree. First step was getting more chickens. I’m working on repairing all the fencing around the cattle area. One thing at a time. ;)

But your point is quite valid. The biggest problem I have with all this is the phrase, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” I believe that hard core survivalists are not only prepared for SHTF, but their work has helped them to grow an attitude where they HOPE for it.

I really don’t want to get to that point.

I’m looking at York County currently. Need to be near a major airport but really like SC.

“Conservatives do not support each other.”

Conservatives eat each other. Look what freepers did to Fox News Tucker and Laura.

You would NEVER see liberals do this.

Have fun with far left libs for the next two years conservatives. You brought this shite upon yourselves.

Another forecast of the present was Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1956; Kevin McCarthy, Dana Wynter, Carolyn Jones.

The final scene of Kevin McCarthy on the California freeway shouting warnings to cars, drivers, everyone, anyone! was like a vision of 2021 seen in a crystal ball. If only the people of 1956 had believed the unbelievable!

I’m in the Atlanta area—I agree with you. I think it’s clear Stacy Abrams views Georgia as ground zero for her new order—Atlanta carries the inspirational magnetism as birthplace of MLK, which provides a new Mecca ‘focus’ for progressive racial identity actualization.

Georgia has many goods to exploit—a beautiful geographically diverse state with mountains and Atlantic coastline. Atlanta is the world’s largest airport, a vital international supply chain hub—providing a great leverage and negotiating platform and a massive revenue center.

It makes me sad, but her criminal antics have clearly shouted out she is a ‘by any means necessary’ marxist and her lust and blueprint for this new Mecca for black identity politics will not be an equitable place for those of us not willing follow the radical, constitutionally-illegal agenda, especially if we have a pragmatic, conservative (what the Abrams regime would categorize as racist, of course a
complete LIE) philosophy.

The truth is we’ve been horribly defamed. Most of us are hard working, egalitarians that practice Golden Rule living. We want to see everyone across all spectrums succeed. But honestly. Not destructively. Using their own God-given abilities, persistence and talents. This sort of effort is always its own reward.

I worry about the entire south to be honest. The radicals have been given oxygen to flog us and defame us unmercifully for events that occurred 160 years ago.

Of course they will have rich, rallying visuals as they deconstruct— like the full annihilation of the Stone Mountain carving —this will be a massive symbolic, historical event to galvanize the new Mecca—probably given a ‘holiday’ in the new record of the glorious Age of Reparation Justice.

I see Georgia trending the way of South Africa in some ways—and certain projections are already predicting a dem-controlled GA will be the east coast ‘California’ as massive foreign migration will flood the state, taxes will soar, unemployment will rise.

We don’t have to be “evil minded” we just need to fight them using their own tactics, they HATE that and would demoralize them.

And we also need to realize who is really on our side and who isn’t. We have a ton fakes who cut and run once the heat turns up a little bit.

We need to steal 2022 and we need to unseat Nancy Pelosi at all costs, do to her what they did to Trump. At all costs.

Makes sense actually. We go to the places they’ve trashed and now find unappealing and too much trouble to rebuild.

(the left is great at destruction, they suck at creation)

well you forgot the shakedown artists that think you did not donate enough- even though they do not know what you donated.
and the “ you did not donate because your name is not on a list!” types, not considering you can donate privately without crowing about it.
My personal favorites.
