“Self-Reliance”
I had the misfortune of working for a bunch of lefties once. What a learning experience! Yes, I am a Rush listener, but his teachings never really hit home until a person lives the experience.
Things like “Self-Reliance”, “Rugged Individualism” are total taboo to them, let alone individual thought. I never fit, and only came close when I mended my ways towards theirs.
Simple tasks requiring only one individual was often done with two or more. Thinking of new ways at lower echelons was just unheard of. Micro management down to the simplest details were common place.
In a live or die scenario, this mentality will never survive. If they initiate CWII, they will not win.
Great image!
At the moment just basking in good feelings.
That and practice.
Repeat after me:
President Donald J. Trump
President Donald J. Trump
President Donald J. Trump
Off to find some liberals - watch out for that explosion. George of the jungle never had as much fun as we DJT supporters in the next eight years.
As FReeper redhead posted (Freeper's a MAJOR intellectual).....
"Good luck with that, you little cockroach."
Not only is Trump completely reshaping the Republican party, more importantly hes establishing a coalition that will overwhelm any DC opposition in the short-term, and make any political opposition futile in the long-term. Legendary winning!
Donald's draining the swamp.....that includes the pitiful leavings of the Boobamba crowd.
It's another win!
I’m not tired of winning ....yet. Gimmee more.
Excellent. You learned "self-reliance" in spite of a work culture that discouraged it. As for me, 25 years of being self-employed (and seeing many ups and downs) taught me the necessity of thinking creatively and putting in the time. This week I'm listening to a fabulous audiobook, The Wright Brothers. From the Amazon promo:
Wilbur was unquestionably a genius. Orville had such mechanical ingenuity as few had ever seen. That they had no more than a public high school education and little money never stopped them in their mission to take to the air. I'm now on Chapter 3 or 4 where the Wright Brothers basically built a wind tunnel in their bicycle shop to test out different wing designs. And each design was formed of plain hacksaw blades. As they discovered, the supposed "science" behind aviation was all wrong: they basically needed to understand flight theory from scratch. This is one of the great stories of American exceptionalism and with David McCullough as author and reader, it's highly entertaining and inspiring.

Hey, LOL. I like the sound of Boobamba. Has an authentic Kenyan ring to it.
Yes, it’s the wit of FReepers that keeps me coming back for more...
HAS PRESIDENT OBAMA ACTUALLY DONE ANYTHING FOR HIS HOMELAND LATELY?
<><> $2 billion US tax dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood,
<><> $50 million US tax dollars to his tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.
<><> Total US Foreign Aid to Kenya (FY 2012): $749,236,440
<><> Kenya listed as one of the Top Ten Recipients of US Foreign Aid
I can’t believe this is actually happening! As a republican, I forgot that it is possible to win and be the party of the people and I love it. We are truly witnessing history.
Think of all the SJWs that title will trigger:
I like it.....The Jungle Book......LOL.
Nice take...it IS enjoyable.
Intangible but real.
Well said.
Thanks for the ping!
Your welcome ;)
Hey Liz, Great luck! As I was surfing Google images for the Kenyan ancestors of Boobamba, I ran across something remarkable:
Look at that photo! Isn't that a striking resemblance to the Boobamba we know? Well, it says in the album that this photo -- taken in 1912 -- is a photo of Boobamba's great great grandfather, Boobamba the 1st. It further says that Boobamba the 1st was a witch doctor in his local village. And following the strange rituals of the village, Boobamba could never treat a patient more than once. Apparently it was against the rules. Each family in the village had to rotate through various witch doctors -- to save costs. It says people at first complained about this policy but sooner or later accepted it as the village custom. The only trouble was: there ended up being more witch doctors in the village that regular villagers. Regardless, Boobamba the 1st was an elite witch doctor, highly skilled at removing splinters from fingers and performing many other delicate surgical procedures. Well as I read these facts, a flash came to my head! It dawned on me that the 21st century Boobamba (who many of us know affectionately as Zero) was basically trying to fulfill the Dreams of his Father -- his Great, Great Grandfather! Boobamba the 1st wanted to see a witch doctory spread to foreign lands. And that dream was fulfilled in ObamaCare! Of course, his great, great grandfather didn't have any vision that the Obamacare website wouldn't work. But that's to be expected since very few people at the time had personal computers. He only dreamed that some day that witch doctory would flourish and that doctors would have to rotate as was the custom in Kenya. So I thought I'd share this interesting news. It certainly helps fill in some of the blanks in Boobamba's colorful history. |
GREAT FIND......your surfing skills are second to none.
Listening to Pelosi was astonishing. To think that the RATS have chosen her again as their House Minority Leader. She is absolutely clueless as to what happened.
