My life experience is that just when I am ready to slit my wrists, things change for the better.
Other than hanging on to that thought, I bury myself in work and am grateful to have it. I putter with my hydroponic veggies and my beautiful blooming and fruiting houseplants. I try to make home a sanctuary for my husband and myself and we both take much joy in our elderly Akita, who, thank God, really seems just about the same at 11 as he did at 5.
I don’t want the shooting to start. Once there, there is no turning back. I keep telling my husband that violence is what the multiple oppositions want and they need us to start it. I know that if we don’t, they will, while trying to make it look like it is us. So, we must stay above reproach.
Irresolution is difficult to handle for many of us, because we are doers. But, at least for now, no resolution means things could still turn out alright for us all and for America.
There is nothing at all wrong with our happy place, as long as we keep an ear out for the real world and stay grounded and prepared for good, as well as for ill.
With all due respect, RL, the leftist traitors in this country will continue to strip away our freedoms and liberties like peeling an onion, until one day, we are utterly and completely enslaved. That is, unless we find it within ourselves to fight back with sufficient force to stop them.
Witness what the lame duck Democrat congress is doing this very minute. They know that they have been fired by the American people, so they're doing everything in their power to circumvent the will of The People by passing a raft of treasonous legislation in the twilight hours of their term. The results of the November elections were an historic repudiation of their party and their agenda, yet even that has done nothing to slow them down.
When you're dealing with tyrants of this sort, you must use a degree of opposing force, equal to, or greater than the force they're exerting against the people. Obviously, this isn't being done, because the onslaught against us continues unabated.
So, how much force is necessary to stop them in their tracks? I don't know, but it's definitely more than the level of opposition they're seeing now.
Our forefathers had to cross a Rubicon in their time. They, too, suffered under a tyrannical and diabolical regime. Came a point where they had exhausted all civil means of addressing their oppressors, and were forced to take it to the next and final level, in order to affect true redress of their grievances.
It's my opinion that we passed a similar point a long time ago, but our people have been so conditioned to obey authority, and to even fear their own government, that their natural inclination to respond to tyranny in the most moral, instinctive, and justified way, has been atrophied into inaction.
Apparently, we're now at a point in history where we nearly need to see the Redcoats looting and burning our towns to pull the flintlock down from the mantle.
That said, the American people do have a breaking point. My perception is that the ruling class is applying about 95% of the required pressure to unleash a real rebellion.
I wouldn't worry too much about the left attempting to lay blame on the patriotic right for initiating a break out of real hostilities. If it comes to that, they're going to lose - and lose badly. I doubt they'll be in any position to go around pointing fingers after the dust settles.
