It's finally getting to me, this change in my country. Life is just not how it used to be and will never be that way again. There have been other life changes--my husband's more-or-less forced retirement, October 2008 at a job that is in the finance industry with the subsequent cutback in hours, and that wonderful time in a woman's life when everything sort of sags and stops.
Worst of all is the breakneck speed at which the norms, traditions, and the Constitution have been shoved aside for some young,upstart, radical Communist's agenda, czars, and that d*&*ED executive order pen. That is depressing because there seems to be no way to change the headlong plunge or even slow it down. November 2010? HAH! As if they'll let a real election occur. Most of those-called "Republicans" in Congress aren't helping either. Where are the real, USA-loving, Law-abiding MEN? Where are their principles?
I want things to go back to the way they were, but that's not going to happen---that is majorly depressing. Freddie, Fannie and their puppeteers ruined that scenario, not only for the U.S., but for the planet. Hope they are proud of themselves...
Okay, that's it, needed to rant. Thanks.
Maybe you should open your eyes instead of trying to bury your head like an ostrich.
The hard left is indeed walking all over us. With the help of many on the right, I’m sorry to say.
The “Conservative” cause will not save us. The mainstream “Conservative” cause has only aided in this falling off.
Your beloved GOP is in on all of this. If not, why don’t they fight this BLATANT attack on our way of life?
Where are they? I’ll tell you where they are. They are approaching a microphone right this minute to apologize for speaking out against it.
This is a movement towards a leftist one-world government. They have been fooled into believing there is not other way to “manage” the “over-population” of this planet. Or, they are dreamers and power mongers who want to create one neck for one leash.
Either way, millions/billions will die. They cannot/will not achieve their goals without some kind of holocaust, or war, or famine, or culling.
I’m not depressed, I’m ready to fight. Problem is, most Americans are in denial and aren’t willing to do what is necessary.
Until they rise up there will be no underpinning for the kind of leaders we need to restore our way of life.
I’m not talking about a small group of wannabes, I’m talking about huge numbers of everyday Americans rising up in defiance.
These people know how to manage/perpetuate your denial, and regulate your pain threshold so as to not trigger an uprising. Or, at least they think they know how.
If we wait for the pain to reach an unbearable level, or to reach our homes, it will be too late.
The time to rise up collectively is right now.
We may not get another opportunity. Not without bloodshed, that is.
We all carry our happiness within us, no matter where and under what conditions we live. I don’t mean that people should or would be happy living in a gulag or starving in North Korea, but here in the US, despite changes, the glorious sun still comes up, we still have food, we can still (for the moment worship as we wish). We can still get up every morning and thank God for life, breath, and his world. While there may be a superleftist in the White House, he won’t be there forever, and his power will be largely broken in just a few months.
If you are depressed, I would dare to suggest that it’s not due to a realistic assessment of our situation here in the US. More likely it has to do with what you describe as “that wonderful time in a woman’s life when everything sort of sags and stops.” I’m in that time, too, and let me tell you—it’s fabulous! I LOVE being middle-aged! Never had so much energy, so much freedom, in my life! I feel great, and despite the loss of my job and oncoming grave financial problems, I love life and people.
So my honest, sisterly advice to you is to say, first, that you have to rekindle your relationship with God and your prayer life, then work on your marriage. If you’re depressed, you may need counselling or even medication. And you definitely need your Bible and a great church. Network with other women your age.
Who said anything about giving up? This was only a rant, not an end-it-all note.
the real sad part of it all is that 200 million people own guns in this country , and , we can’t or won’t do anything to stop the takeover of America . Someone needs to rise and lead us to take this country back . Sad .
Then what is the point of you continuing to get up each morning and suck oxygen? Defeatists like you need to have the courage of your convictions and end it, to save the rest of us the irritation of listening to your pathetic, surrendering drivel.
You want to roll over and die? Do it by yourself, and leave good patriots who are still willing to fight for America out of it. I'm sick of you people.
Kill yourself now, and leave the company of those brave patriots who are still willing to stand and fight for their country.
You pathetic loser. How dare you try to sweet talk us into surrendering alongside you?
We didn’t win.
When the Berlin wall came down it was just like kicking a wasp’s nest. The communists scattered all over the world, and now you see the fruits of their labor. International corporations promoting global communism via the G20.
My hope is not in strong horses or armies (or anything else that man puts his hope in, outside of the LORD)...and, I am prepared to stand for righteousness until the end.
Okay, there are people here saying that things are bad, and that’s true.
There are also people saying to “buck up, and arm up” and that’s wise.
There’s also some that say that November Elections will be useless.
What *is* the problem with our society that it seems “nobody has a spine”?
My theory is Stockholm Syndrome: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2538216/posts
"Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."
And:
"Never, never, never, never give up."
Just a reminder what was once said in a much darker time.......
Oh, get over yourself!
Even the Captain of a sinking ship knows when the point of no return has been reached. Going down with the ship is fine and noble. Especially if you cannot guarantee that all souls are safely in life rafts.
But there is no sense is not admitting to the facts, facts that are hard and indisputable.
What part of this escapes your understanding?
You know what? I think you’re on to something. We’re being held hostage so to speak.
Thanks!
THANK YOU. I have been away from FreeRepublic for a few months..health and work issues, but I have been listening to friends and family and late night talk radio on XM and I am heartened by what I’m hearing. We need to keep up the loud voice and keep fighting.
Problem? I’m the most optimistic person in the world!
There is no need for guns. Forget guns.
Collective Defiance
Simply refuse to go along. They will reveal their true colors then, or they will cease and desist.
They cannot shoot or jail us all now for our total refusal to be their pawns and slaves.
But I guarantee you they will shoot and jail many of us later if we sit idle.
They serve us. We FAR outnumber them. We could easily overwhelm their nightmare system.
I’m not talking about the overthrow of our government, but a return to adherence to the Constitution, a restoration of individual freedom.
I was born and American. I have lived as a free and proud American, and I plan on dying thus.
I don’t want any part of their big idea.
I want to fight them. I want to fight alongside millions and millions of Americans who hold similar values and beliefs.
If you are going to fight, when will you start?
