The Coming Depression...Not the Economy
madison10 | June 19, 2010 | madison10

Posted on 06/19/2010 7:17:00 PM PDT by madison10

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.

“Only a collectivist would say that.”

I hope you’re joking.

Folks... Like Rush said “I refuse to participate in their depression!”

I agree!!! The company I work for has lost 3clients, we have terminated 6 people and I am now doing my regular job plus the mail plus answering the front phone plus processing for 2 clients all probably 80 hours a week. However, I have a job, a place to live, I enjoy shooting my guns, playing video games, going out on the weekend looking to buy a house, going to church. Having movie night with friends. Taking the niece and nephews out to the park. And most importantly getting ready to vote in November!!! They may be a bunch of bums but I Refuse To Participate!!!

I will not go quietly in to the good night!
I will not comply!
I will stand up and say NO!

You can follow or lead but if you are going to do neither then get out of the way!

I agree,this is not a time to think defeat - this is actually the BEST time for conservatives, IMO, because “the middle” got a good, up close peek over the edge of the cliff during the last few years, and they didn’t like what they saw.

“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 .”
~~~
Welcome to FR,,,

Small correction,,,

There are about 90 million gun owners in the US of A

at this point,,,

Armed to the teeth,,,

We have bought up the total ammo production of this country

for about 18 months,,,

Folks around here are fightin’ mad,,,

The Military has just under 2 million tops,,,

LEO’s number about 750,000 tops,,,

They mite have 25% total that would fight the people,,,

The very best thing we can do in the coming war is be ready

to just go in your house and be ready to stay there for

3 or 4 months,,,(food,water/etc.)

No work,,,No taxes,,,No Gubmint,,,

Piece ‘O Cake,,,;0)...

Bingo! I’ve known this for a long time. The women are starting to figure this out I think.

...your silly firearms wont be worth spit.

I guess they've scared you into a pre-emptive surrender. What a shame. You could have walked in the sun with us on Victory Day.

Mark well those who ridicule our fight for freedom. They are the same people who will gladly turn your name in to the storm troopers when the time comes, in hopes that they'll be spared.

In truth, they're some of the first ones who will perish.

when there are cameras built into every single electronic gadget in the world and there are supercomputers capable of accessing all that every camera sees, your silly firearms won’t be worth spit.

Cultures have a habit of self-destructing. This current cadre in power is built on the donations of the productive to support the non-productive, the latter a group which will turn on its master and bite the hand that has fed it whe no more treats are forthcoming, and that day is rapidly approaching. We may have one more election first..

Book burnings will follow, and they won't be selective. Welcome to the new dark age.

...shoot the cameras and the robots first.

Some become the enemy before the war even starts.

ok bud. if ya wanna compare arsenals, I’ll be happy to. I’m sure I got more than you. I’m just playing a good chess game(trying to) and looking ahead to the part of the match where my queen(guns) won’t be of any use.

Too bad you are too thick headed to do the same.

Stop and think about how the left is defeating us while we have all the guns and they have none. Once you do that...if you have any sense in your head at all...you should come to the realization that our guns are actually our achilles heel. We sit back on our second ammendment rights and think all will be fine so long as we have the constitutional authority to keep a goddam worthless 19th century firearm in our closet at home. We are like the idiot chess player that will sacrifice all to save his queen. The opponent has figured this out and is using it to his advantage.

More and more firearms are being concentrated into the hands of smaller and smaller percent of the population. There is a tipping point. You know full well what I am getting at.
