I feel like a fighter who will have to come back later after the first brave 300 have already died fighting to hold the ground.
But like in Spartan history the elders won’t condone any organized act of war, no they will just let 300 Spartans die first, seems like the same issue nowadays.
Tea Party will just allow 300 martyrs first before sending and army is my guess.
Meh. From October of 2008:

a snip:
I’ve been saying five things for the last year or two:
1. This thing could get as bad as, or worse than, the great depression (GD).
2. The GD ended with WWII.
3. The US is a form of worldwide empire with “colonies” like South Korea, Taiwan, India, Etc.
4. As the world economy collapses, countries like NK will be both desperate and emboldened to take military action against one of our colonies in near proximity. The result could actually ultimately end up with a hot war fought on US soil. I”m talking about the 50 states.
5. Somewhat related to the four but more domestic in scope, expect a serius (sic) uptick in domestic violence, divorce, murder and various other crimes.
He was wrong about the rioting, but he explains why later in post 20.
Correct. And, if you're not from there, they will rob and then kill you.
Switzerland comes to mind. They have been riding it out for a long time. Of course, you need major assets to make a move to Switzerland to work.
The Crisis Is Imminent: “When The Real Crash Comes It Will Be Worse Than the Great Depression”
“The United States is like the Titanic, and I’m here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship… I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States.”

I was just mentioning to someoen this weekend that one talking head said, a couple of hears ago, that these things always take longer to happen than those that see it coming think it will, but once it does happen it unfolds with a rapidity even they did not expect. Have you ever laid on the ground during a rainstorm and watched a raindrop come toward your head? It seems to cover the last foot a hundred times faster than the distance before it.
I’m already seeing it speed up. Even NPR’s in depth report yesterday about the fallout from obamacare was extremely gloomy. And yes, I think Obamacare could be the straw that broke the camels back, mainly because it’s really a bundle of rebar. Extra thick.
“It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.”
“programs and entitlements will be cut to the bone.”..
Might be a great place to start RIGHT NOW instead of waiting. Such action would certainly divert a significant part of the problem. Oh, never mind, that makes too much common sense.
Anyone who plans on leaving, don't come back. Guys like Duncan and I aren't going to look too kindly on those who have no stomach for the heavy lifting when the time comes.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
If we go down, the whole planet goes down with us. There will be no other place to “ride it out”.
My personal opinion is that this will get VERY ugly. Worse than most people can imagine. However, I’ve also been amazed at how they can STILL kick the can down the road, though with each kick, the distance is shorter.
They are now printing almost an additional one trillion a year. That means that as you and I may reducing our debt, our government is borrowing, on our behalf, $3,300 per year for every member of your family.
And Interest rates are going nowhere. They can’t. They would put a knife to our economy in one day. It would be easier to eliminate welfare.
Soros Rogers and Buffet are trying to talk down gold but
then, those guys can buy entire small nations and own their own farmlands river and mines
Meanwhile China is trying to own all the gold in the world
and every world government is trying to “repatriate”
its gold reserves
what do they know?
LOL!
Does your queen know this?
Now THAT is a tagline I might borrow!
correct-o
No one in America “owns” land, if you think you do, stop paying property taxes
Correct. And, if you’re not from there, they will rob and then kill you.
the Swiss just decided to limit immigration
and they are all armed
“programs and entitlements will be cut to the bone.”..

We’re in this fall to the “slap” of our body hitting the asphalt.
This whole thing is like the joke about a man jumping off a 100 story building. As he passes the 10th floor, a guy yells out a window, “How’s it going?”. The jumper yells back, “So far, so good.”
We are the jumper and we just passed the 5th floor, and Obamacare is like the anvil Bugs Bunny hands his falling pursuer, causing rapid acceleration.
Yes. It’s gonna hurt.
Um...
I was paraphrasing Spartan302’s expressed desire to get out of Dodge.
He later clarified his stance.
As regards our Queen, she knows a lot, although I doubt she lurks at FR.
Strange statement. The Tea Party is not Top Down. Never will be. Sounds like you don't like the Tea Party. That is a bit strange here.
