BTW, this WAS posted in chat.
“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.”
Makes you wonder if we really won the Cold War, doesn’t it?
People need to accept the fact that were on a path to nowhere. The ship has sailed and not even the biggest of landslides in November will stop what’s coming.
WHat I fear is the other shoe dropping, times getting worse, much worse and people reacting with uneducated, blind hate. lashing out at Corporate America and running full on into the arms of the hard left.
Its happened before, many times and I’m afraid it will happen again, right here.
They're laughing all the way to the bank, sadly for us.
You do know that DU lurkers masturbate to threads like this.
Where are the real, USA-loving, Law-abiding MEN? Where are their principles?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those men are all in nursing homes awaiting their turn to see the light and their long ago dearly departed. We’re on our own now.
Congress never had any principles. The lame stream media covered it up for a long time. The statists are going down hard.
Choose a black candidate and you will forget his communist past and connections.
Spill some oil and you forget that they now own your bodies (0bamaCare).
Don’t worry, Americans, something else will come along and it too will help you to forget the day they took control of the Internet, taxed your breath, turned down your air conditioner, took your guns, indoctrinated your children, and on, and on.
Your mind is the prize.
The time to rise up is now.
Fight communism in America.
Remember, hang on to that TRUTH...it's the only thing that is true in a world that is under the control of the evil one.
If you are trusting in Him, then you know the rest of the story. You would be, like me, the most optimistic person in the world, because you know that NOTHING can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
You would also know that the strong delusion has been sent - hence, nothing makes sense anymore...and it's going to get worse.
Additionally, you also would know that in these final days He is calling out a people to Himself. Those who have ears to hear...those who will finally hear the voice of the Great Shepherd. That's why He has caused all the things that most put their hope in to fail them. He's taken away any last refuge, so that those who have yet to come to faith will put their hope in Him - the only REFUGE & STRONG TOWER to run to.
Hang on Maddy - the best is yet to come, for He is set to return for His people & take them to a place He has prepared for them...so that where He is, we may be also!
I’m pretty much in the same place. I turned 50 this month. Eeek!, enough in itself. My mother in law died 3 weeks ago and I have a feeling my own mother is not far behind (won’t see a doctor).
My husband has a great job, teenager son is straight A’s (well, one B+), so I have a LOT to be thankful for in so many ways.
There is an undercurrent of dread that colors my days. Certainly I keep up with things as a FReeper. I try to shake it off and stay positive, as I must for the people in my life, but I worry.
Trust in God is all I can tell you. He is much bigger than anything that happens in this life.
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.
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.......
I choose NOT to get depressed about things over which I have absolutely NO control. I’ll be positive and live my life that way. But I will make sure to keep myself educated, and educate others around me. And I’ll make sure to vote against the libs in Nov. of 2010 and 2012, and encourage as many others to do so as I can.
I completely understand your feelings. Don’t let these ostriches make it worse.
Obama can bring us Sarah Palin / Michelle Bachmann -- if we pull together.
Cheers!
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!
