Sorry all for the vanity, just feeling very melancholy tonight watching everything that was good about our country be destroyed at such a quickened pace....
I know - and have known - too many good individuals to believe that ‘everything good’ is being destroyed.
Get out of your cups.

If it is possible at all, I would like to see what you write in three years. It will take 1-5 years to get us all where the elite and Soros want us, abjectly impoverished, ignorant of current events (already starting with a terrible internet especially out here in the cornfields of PA), unable to gather, paying the snoops/spys who will inevitably report us to the Current Day Gestapo (the CDG), etc.
It is clear to me you do not function in the realm of logic.
“Conservatives” like you killed conservatism forever.
Hey don’t be upset now: the America I grew up and lived in died back in 1978-79; its been a corpse ever since - you are just noticing the stench of the decayed corpse as new organisms begin to flourish.
We will not be afraid of evil tidings: the heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
Psalm 112:7.
David won many great battles.
And Psalm 23, comes to heart.
Just stop it.
We have been betrayed.
Now, we need to move forward, look forward, work forward to keep hanging onto the election stuff is damaging to any future efforts, future political campaigns, and minimizing the fallout damage taking place right now.
The advantage we have right now is to just sit and observe. The events at the Capitol has forced them to show their hand and their fears. Those two things we can use.
Already it is coming out that Biden has over 14 technocrats on his transition team or slated for advisory/cabinet posts. Now we know that and we see the power they wield already. We are caught flat foot, not knowing how to deal with it and it will only get worse.
Their fears: We are also witnessing deep fear of “We the People.” I do not think that 10,000 troops in DC or Trump declaring a SOE in DC is an act. They weren’t afraid of BLM/Antifa, but they are afraid of us. That’s a powerful emotion that we wield over them. The question is how carefully we handle it, because it can backfire on us.
“I’m with you. I’ve been down, really down these last few days.”
I could limbo under a snake.
Except it wasn't forever.
Reminds me of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
Except Mao is dead, the Gang of Four were defeated, and the Han Chinese nation rises in the world with economic and military power for the benefit of its people.
“The United States no longer has free speech in any practical sense. “
When they go for the guns in a serious way I think that will be the breaking point.
Republican politicians and bureaucrats stabbing their president
—
That’s the standard GOP/”conservative” response to a disagreement; you just have to read all the responses on this post to see the usual sample of GOP/”conservative” eating their own; name calling, bickering, threats, are just some of the repertoire to expect when you go up against the prevailing orthodoxy of the moment on FR.
So when this same policy plays out on a larger stage, these same sorts of people act surprised. Go figure.
I agree whole heartedly. I doubt many people even know what you are talking about. I do, however. I was a POW as a child in the Philippine Islands. I was not alone in any sense of the word except not one adult knew what being a POW would do to a child.
There are pictures on the internet about how the Japanese starved civilians in the concentration camps of the Philippine Islands. My 6’ well muscled father weighed 135 lbs when we were liberated after 4 years in the camps. My 5’5” tall Mom weighed 85 lbs. Most of the children had many different nutritional deficiencies and infections of not only bacteria but of parasites...you see, our captors didn’t differentiate between adults and kids. Adults with children tended to feed their kids even if it was bugs and grass. Nobody could do anything about the bacteria or viral infections just as they could not prevent intestinal parasites.
Americans born and bred, raised in the USA have no real comprehension of what is to come.
And come it must...we are beyond choice now. Simply put, not enough logical thinking people, educated people who would “see” and understand who the enemy is or have the will to fight.
I can hear it now, “Let’s wait and see what happens”.
Good luck with that...we don’t have the technological infrastructure to support a war-going population even if they wanted it.
Those are the words my wife said the other day. Her family lived through it. She knows what is coming unless it can be stopped. It will not be pleasant.
I now I better understand how American Indians felt. Watching their way of life and land being taken from them.
And I better understand why so many of them chose to die facing the enemy on their feet
Praise God that you survived that horror most of us cannot imagine. Sometimes, any Rescue Teams don’t arrive for a long time if they ever arrive at all. Even under such devastating conditions, you were helped spiritually by being with your family who loved you.
The last song that is sung as they are climbing over the mountain to escape the Nazis is “Climb Every Mountain.” The “bless my homeland forever,” that he and Maria sing in their last public appearance before they escape, gets me every time.
Another great scene in movies is in Casablanca when everyone in Rick’s cafe sings the French national anthem as they drown out the Nazis who are singing some Nazi ditty. Even the little French nightclub singer joins in defiantly with tears in her eyes. Extremely powerful moment in that terrific film. We need films like that now, not the typical noxious bilge Hollywood is pumping into what’s left of the culture.
Just watched Casablanca two night ago. Pointed out to the younger generation each time a scene contained a line immortalized into popular culture and what it means, i.e. “Shocked, shocked” means it is a phony reason that the speaker knows is BS. “We’re shocked, shocked there incitement going on”
“Here’s looking at you kid”
“I’m shocked, shocked there gambling going on...”,
“This is the start of a beautiful friendship”
“Round up all the usual suspects”
...
How much social credit did that post earn you?
That’s pretty powerful Bodega...I am sorry your family had to endure that :(
Yes! I'm glad we agree.
America is a nation of immigrants...
LEGAL immigrants!
