meadsjn, I still see people all over FR asking the same questions. What to do, what to do.
No one I pinged has responded to this thread, and no one you asked to ping it did.
Since I posted this article, someone put up a thread calling Jim “out.”
Jim has stated he will boycott CPAC because of GOProud’s sponsorship. CPAC isn’t going to help us and they have lost most, if not all of their credibilty.
The senate has screwed us over royally and still, everyone wanders around as if they are in a daze. WHAT is is going to take, for GOD’S Sake?????????
A wise fellow said some months back: "Pray and work for the best; but prepare for the worst." It seems I've been doing just that since November of 1992, but it helps to get reminded.
There are some very practical things everyone can be doing regardless of the DC circus. Winter is here, the economic outlook is uncertain, and we might have elections in the coming year. So here's my priority list:
1) Keep food and basics stocked up in case of a winter storm.
2) Have a winter survival pack whenever I'm away from home.
3) Keep working as if there is a future to pay for.
4) Keep pretending there is a political process that requires my participation.
5) Be prepared to adapt if minor changes occur, such as a complete economic meltdown, civil war, revolution, foreign invasion, genocide, or other such inconvenience.
6) Last, but most important, stay in touch with family and close friends.
P.S. Pray for military intervention or devine intervention. I do, every day.
First, thank you for your passion and desire to bring this and other topics to the table. I have read some profoundly moving posts in this thread. The bottom line is as you said, “Beware of easy. Easy is a trap.”
This is my nature, the easier, softer way. But I know that I will stand up and do what is right one day when called upon. I am fortunate, I have been tested before so I am confident that I will act.
I told my children in an e-mail today that they will be called upon someday soon. Be ready, don’t be surprised, and do not say, “I can’t.”
God Bless us all, free people of the United States of America. May we all have the nerve to act and the knowledge of what to do.
“The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
