This is the way world ends, not with a bang but a whimper - T.S. Elliot.
A whimper? Of course! We can't afford outrage because we work for a living.
We poo-poo the OWS crowd and the liberals when they march for their deviant causes. Of course they have this time we say, they don't work for a living as we do! We laugh at their folly.
We can't carry signs or march on washington, we are too busy working. We don;t see that we have become too busy being something that long ago quit being anything other than funds for those who rally against us.
While we make fun of the OWS crowd and those like them, they use our indirect support to bring this country down.
We are SUPPORTING our own downfall. Worse than that, we are feeling superior doing it!
Satire all you want. Really.
I know it’s your point. It makes me sad that I, the Rebel with a Cause, have turned into such a chicken sh/t. I am single, have a good job, just turned 65, and work for an Obama zombie (the good boss was fired and the affirmative action black woman replaced the old white guy). On Flag Day, I hung a little flag in my office, and I haven’t taken it down. What are you doing to fight Tyranny - I need some examples.
Yes, and it makes you wonder if people are hesitating to put signs out, are they giving pollsters accurate information?
Because we are now a nation pussified by PC. Afraid to offend because offense will alienate us from friends/family and cost us jobs.
Everyone has an excuse as to why their personal circumstance prevents them from standing up or standing out. And excuse is all it is. Because they are every but the cowards that the GOP is or any of our ‘leaders.’
Personally I don’t think this ‘world’ ending would be a bad thing. Those who survive it may do better in what’s to come rather than repeat our mistakes.
I’ve watched that movie 37 times i guess i’m addicted to fantasy and magic but i’ve watched harry potter series of movies at least 26 times i lost count !
Guys........the ONLY thing that gives me a glimmer of hope is my experience at “Chick Fil A Day”.
I turned to patrons and said......”If this is what the Nov. elections are going to look like.....the I have HOPE for this country.”
They all agreed.
Enjoy GeronL.
Since they never gave a date when it was going to end i guess i’ll go ahead lol
They are fast becoming the establishment.
They will meet resistance From the young upstarts when they get sick of them telling them what to do.
In the meantime we fight and tell those young upstarts there is a better way.
There is a house down the road has a great sign that says “Vote Like Your Freedoms Depend On It”.
You are right Ron. Evil will lose in the end.
I would suggest for the thread another Elliot quote. One that contained the phrase “redeeming the time” that Elliot uses and is traced to biblical roots as well. It is an Elliot quote that Russell Kirk loved to use to inspire. From “Christianity and Culture”:
“The world is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time; so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and to save the world from suicide.”
Perhaps your questions are legit.
So you need examples from me? What? to prove myself?
I was just giving word to a feeling. I know who I am, what I will do, but this post has devolved into “lets make fun of the OP”.
“Homey don't play that”
I'll stay in for a bit of fun, but I certainly do not need to legitimize my feelings to those who just want to make fun.
Great quote! Thanks Kartographer!
Our indirect support...? Speak for yourself...
You and others see the worl ending, but ignore the WHIMPER.
Our indirect support...? Speak for yourself...
