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”?

You know what? I think you’re on to something. We’re being held hostage so to speak.

Thanks!

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.

I’ve never seen or read such a bunch of pathetic defeatist rhetoric on FR. Why do any of you bother posting if all you are going to do is wallow in your self pity? Why bother being freepers? Have you not read about the growing numbers throughout the country opposing amnesty for illegals and more states crating their own stricter immigration laws? Have you forgotten that we outnumber them? Why are all of you so willing to capitulate to the minority? Have you seen the growing grassroots tea party movement in February 2009? When did you decide to crawl under a rock and let the socialists walk all over you?

You can’t see the forest for the trees. If the history of the socialists advance has taught any of anything it is that we need to steal a page out of the socialist playbook by pushing forth with the same dogged determination to advance the Conservative cause and view any setback as temporary! You only empower those who seek to destroy you with your self defeatist attitude. Grow a pair!

Hear hear, sir! I’ve been away from the Freep for two years — only lurking, but this thread drew me back.
I am so sick of this end is nigh attitude I see on the Freep. If it’s over — give up, kill yourself, whatever.

I, and it appears many others as well, are deciding to stand and fight. Whiners don’t deserve liberty. Fighters do.

Get locked and loaded, figuratively and literally, and do our forefathers proud.

They win when we bend over and grab ankle.

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.

I would disagree with the Stockholm Syndrome theory and simply ascribe the problem to America becoming corrupted from within very similarly to the way ancient Rome did but over a much short time span.

If you study the fall of the ancient Roman Empire you’ll see that we have followed it almost to the ‘T.’ But then again most of the major ancient civilizations were destroyed first from within and then finished off from without.

The West is collapsing with the UK leading the charge but here in America I do see glimmers of hope that are somewhat similar to the way Christianity rose from the ashes of a self-destructing Roman Empire.

There’s no real way to stop the suicidal path the West is on even by electing a new generation of politicians who will eff over the citizenry they supposedly represent. Our politicians are only good as the parents who raise them and parenting in the West is suffering tremendously.

The place to start restoring America and the West is the home. Until that is straightened out we will continue to see the downward spiral of all aspects of our society until our death wish is granted in full. To change the trend people will have to make life-affirming decisions that are not popular with the culture at large. A large enough group of conservative, life-minded individuals can make the difference.
