With all of the past, present, and future "damage" that leftists, both within the U.S. and all over the entire world, have and will successfully create upon everybody, how can conservatives, from all over the entire world, successfully "fix" all of the short-term damage and all of the long-term damage on all of the issues and for always? This is the definitive question that seriously needs to be brainstormed to the best of abilities! It will definitely be much more difficult to even communicate with each other soon enough, after leftists successfully suppress all non-leftist activities for as long as humanly possible. Leftists with all of the power are extremely dangerous, and even this statement doesn't go far enough in fully explaining the calibur of danger that leftist possess whenever they are given the opportunity. How do conservatives successfully become a political majority throughout the entire world, and, even more importantly, how do conservatives successfully maintain this political majority FOR ALWAYS? Truly doing nothing only helps leftist even more!
It’s just begun. How do you patch a wall that someone is currently smashing with a baseball bat?
Quite frankly, I don’t think we can.
I am honestly trying to figure out how bad it’s going to get. I hear people saying CW2 and using the “S” word, and then other people think I have a tinfoil hat for being worried about how bad it’s going to get. My mom thinks they can just go live out in the country to escape it, and I think we might need to move overseas. I told my mother, “Wouldn’t you rather not be the people stuck behind the East of the wall?” (We had family trapped in E. Germany.)
No one can.
Make sure that we are structuring our lives so that we can be the best parents we can.
Today, figure out what per centage of your income you can give away. Pick the best charities you can find, especially ones which deal with needy people in your area, and give what you can afford to give. In particular, you might “adopt” a needy person in your area, and do what you can to address the needs of widows and orphans.
If this kind of thing seems daunting, compare the luxuries you enjoy to life in the early 50’s. You may need a computer and Internet access. Pare away luxuries.
It might be that even if we had shown mercy as we ought to have done, the envious would still have gained power over us. But, I think, if we do right by our children, our parents, and our neighbors, we will, at least, not deserve the tyranny of the envious.
Explanation: For around 100 years, a certain class of intellectual and politician has found it plausible to think that the people of the United States cannot take care of themselves. Enough of us have been unwilling to take responsibility for our families’ welfare that it hasn't been hard for the condescending liberal elites to sell the idea that we need people like them to take care of us.
The only way to avoid the scourge of government is to be responsible, not only for ourselves but for the widow and orphan. This may sound -— indeed, it may BE simplistic. But nothing but lives of conspicuous probity and mercy will show us to be a people who deserve freedom.
As I say, it may not work, we may not get the freedom we seek. But at least we will not deserve to lose our freedom because we squandered it on selfishness and trifles.
CW?
“How Can Conservatives Successfully “Fix” All of the Problems that Leftists Will Successfully Create?”
Excellent question.
THEY CAN’T ‘FIX’ THE PROBLEMS THIS TIME!
This is the big myth that is being sold to the right by the conservatives.
YOU JUST TRY TO TAKE BACK WHAT THE SOCIALISTS ARE GIVING TO THE MASSES RIGHT NOW.
There was a time when this could have happened but the population is now too, too ignorant.
Mark my words, these socialist hand-outs will not be ended this time, sorry, Conservatives—it’s gone for good.
“We are all socialists now.”
Like it, or not, the time to stop it has past.
Hell, they just made sure many successive generations will be shackled with debt that THEY CREATED.
All of this and the American right couldn’t muster even a good protest in response/resistance.
Don’t you see? There is so much debt, so much government there are no real options left for the wobbly-knee’d Conservatives.
I’m in California. Ahnold gave the civil rulers two days off to help with our FAILING DEMOCRAT RUN ECONOMY without pay and they protested vigorously. You think you’re going to take freebies away from the ignorant, “entitled” masses? Think again—they’ll have your head.
0bama will add tens of thousands to government. What, do you think the Conservatives will fire them when/IF they get power again?
It is now about WHO will offer the most/best “free” stuff—freedom is not even part of the equation.
And you think the conservatives will take this and ‘fix’ it?
Ha! Not a chance.
Oh, and I’m supposed to be impressed with the votes on the ‘stimulus’ bill? I’ll need a little more showing of huevos than this. I’m not impressed at all.
Where were they during Bush the Big Government Spender’s rule?
Your paycheck isn’t private property anymore—it’s a government subsidy.
This is socialism.
The more you keep, the more they ‘lose’.
Your labor is owned by the US government.
It’s done, and the demographic changes that are just down the road a bit will seal the deal.
America’s best days are indeed behind her.
But at least we have lots of cool gadgets to play with...for the time being.
Civil War
Thanks, I needed that.
Some things can’t be fixed. There will be suffering, turmoil, and hopefully there will be a chance to come out the other side. But there’s no solution.
My hope is that FREEPERS pay off their credit cards and other debts they have. I think they will be survivors in this mess. I was deep in debt in the 90s and was so miserable but I am debt free now after at least 15 years of paying them off and now feel so much better about my financial future.
to the folks on the right, i would say... don’t.
do not help fix the situation the left created. they are planning on the conservatives and business leaders to ‘make things work’... while they reduce the ‘sky is falling’ rhetoric. and then claim victory/success as things start to pull together.
and i say, don’t do it. bear the pain. let it fester for 4 years until we get a conservative in the white house.
and if you think this would just make the left attack anything that president would try to accomplish... i would say, that would be no different from how they play now.
screw them and anyone on the left... they will not receive any help from me.
I seriously don’t see having another truly conservative POTUS for, at the very least, sixty years, but it’s also possible that there will never be a truly conservative POTUS ever again. The leftist political domination throughout most of the world is so deeply rooted, that I seriously don’t see how conservatism ever really becomes a political majority ever again. I’m also seriously hoping that I’m missing something and that I’m very wrong about my political predictions of the future. What are conservatives seriously supposed to do next with their lives, if conservatism is never, ever going to make any kind of political comeback at any given point in the future? All of this is way beyond frustrating!
Prosecute all white collar criminals, crooked contractors, and politicians taking bribes. That would eliminate about 90% of ‘em. I’m not joking. A major theme for 2010 should be “Prosecute all the Wall Street crooks, and throw their crooked political cronies out of office”. That should include RINOs who took money from the banking perps.
I kept waking up last night thinking, what happens if my husband or I developed cancer (my mother, sister, dad, aunt, grama all got cancer and rec’d excellent treatment)? What kind of treatment would we receive, if any.
I had trouble sleeping last night.
Do you mean mortgages too?
Psalm 11
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 In the LORD I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2 For look! The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in His holy temple,
The LORD’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 The LORD tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
Shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the LORD is righteous,
He loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.
STARVE THE BEAST!
Everyone should ASAP change your witholding on your paycheck to as many dependents as you can get by with, send as little to Washington as you can. (You can claim more dependents than you have you just have to pay it back at tax time.)
Then take that cash extra cash you get per pay period and put it in savings, when you get enough buy a CD.
ALso talk to your accountant and see what you can do about making a legal side business out of one of your hobbies. Its amazing how much money you can save on taxes by doing a side business. (Even if you make little or no profit) Its agreat way to get Vacations and Holiday travel tax free, as well as hobby purchases.
Cut out every extra penny the Government takes from you legally, if just 10% of the Taxpayers would do such it would put a large dent in the looters plans!
