Just So Tired of This Stuff
head | 15 Sep2013 | self

Posted on 09/15/2013 7:09:32 AM PDT by Tainan

I am just so tired of seeing the same stuff over and over again. I dearly love the U.S.A. I am a VN veteran an and a Mil /Govt employe. Now retired ...some what. Seen a lot in my years.

Just pissed-off when I think abut moving back to the U.S.A. for living.

Not much more...just a brief rant about hope and hopelessness.

Don't be too disheartened. Things will get better...I think a tsunami of opposition to the current direction of the country is building. Look at the recall elections recently in Colorado, for instance! :-)

I have big hopes for the 2014 midterm elections.

Mother died at 100 in 2008. Whenever I got down, she always reminded me that when the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it does likewise in the other and will always settle in the middle. Don’t give up, continue to fight in whatever way you can. There is hope!

I’d guess what you’re expressing is an exhaustion concerning the never ending attacks against culture, guns, and freedom. You’re probably tired of the incipient political correctness that causes everybody who is white to self-monitor everything you say for fear you’ll offend someone who will sue you, attack you, or just shoot you. It seems as though when one attack is defeated (like in the Colorado recall) ten more take place.

Well, liberals are like the Energizer bunny. they will never give up. On the other hand, we are overexposed to trivial and inconsequential attacks that will never amount to a hill of beans. It’s hard to separate those from the ones that threaten all of society.

I’d prescribe a rest from FR. Turn off the TV. Pack the family and take a vacation. Don’t read a newspaper. (Does anybody still read the newspaper?) Get a kindle and read a book. (Oh, here’s a few books!)

It’s pretty easy to be discouraged when you see the things we are seeing every day. Just remember, politicians are not really representative of the people and the things the media chooses to concentrate on is not what is going on with the average everyday American. It will get better when we can finally boot out the current media and replace them with real people who actually have hearts and souls.

” I *am* William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?

Veteran: Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.

William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

I am convinced that there is One who is ceaselessly working to sustain and help us,to fill us with life and goodness, and to make us saints.

He has preserved you and brought you to the perplexing and disturbing place where you find yourself, for a reason. It may not be apparent - of course it is not apparent -- but you are part of a much, much bigger story. Dimensions you cannot fathom.

I'm talkin' about BIG.

I absolutely believe God is in charge which is why there is a possibility...no, a probability that thing will not get better...at least as we might define better. This country has turned its back on God for the most part and our Lord, in His infinite justice and wisdom, may decided destruction to purge this country of its evil is the righteous sentence.

Hold strong to your faith, trust in Him, and he will see you through. Never stop praying.

After going toe-to-toe with the NVA in Vietnam, you’re worried about having to deal with the passive aggressive liberal wimps stateside? I think you have nothing to worry about.

I want you to know that I understand what you are saying. I am a generation behind, and most likely haven’t seen a fraction of the shit you have you, but feel similarly “tired”. I find as every day passes I am becoming more and more like my old man was in his middle age... intolerant.

I know other people have chimed in with ideas to “take your mind off things”... the only suggestion I can give... and I do so in full consideration that this advise is what I will need to give myself in the future, Hell, I may as well listen to my own advice now... is be “available” to others.

Everyone has a mother and father and a story... while some people are simply not worth the time of day there are many others that can gain from your story.

Don’t feel isolated and alone in your “malaise”. It does get worse before it gets better.

Sorry but speak up about what is wrong with America.

We need to keep and grow AMERICAN production.

For the entire last generation, we have sent American production elsewhere.

Largely to China.

BRING IT BACK. Now.

It seems as though when one attack is defeated (like in the Colorado recall) ten more take place.

The Marxo/Progs/libs ( or whatever they are calling themselves today) are laughing at us!

The NRA may win skirmishes but every government school day children are being INDOCTRINATED into hating and fearing guns. The NRA chops down trees but in our nation's single-payer and socialist-entitlement K-12 schools the Marxists are indoctrinating forests of future voters.

I am appalled that any conservative or Christian would allow their child to attend a government owned and run socialist-entitlement K-12 school. Nearly every teacher in one of these schools was trained by godless Marxists in godless colleges of education. Even if the teacher is not overtly Marxist her/his Marxist indoctrination and training will leak through.

Finally....When the Judgment comes, I expect that God will be especially annoyed with Christians and conservatives. Why? Because they turned their children over to care and influence of evil godlessness in the schools and media. It's a millstone thing, you see.

Well, liberals are like the Energizer bunny. they will never give up.

There are whole counties and even entire states where conservatives and Christians could render Marxo/Progs powerless and COMPLETELY collapse their two most powerful weapons:

(1) Remove your children from any government school. Remove your child from any godless private school. Remove your child from any liberation theology school. ( from pre-k through college).

(2) Turn off the Marxist/Prog media and inform their sponsors that you have done so.

Finally....When the Judgment comes, is it possible that God will be especially annoyed with Christians and conservatives? Maybe. Why? Because they turned their children over to care of the evil and godless Moloch. It's a millstone thing.
