Voting doesn’t do it anymore, when Leftist Cheating prevents free and fair elections from taking place! Wake Up!

The plain truth is this: You’re going to have to save the country yourselves. Donald Trump isn’t going to save it. Ron DeSantis isn’t going to save it. There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that a GOP majority in Congress is going to save it.


Stand up to one stupid rule and pretty soon you will encourage others to follow......................

There is a psychological study on this if any one can direct us to it.

This could take a decade or more.

I don’t think we have that long. The commies usually work quickly at the end to avoid this type of thing.

Nice thought, until their town, like every other town in the US, is overwhelmed by hundreds, by thousands, by millions of Biden Illegals.

“By temperament and principle, conservatives would rather be left alone to run their businesses, raise their families, worship in their churches, and build up their charities and local communities. Unlike liberals and leftists, they tend not to be ideologues. They are not trying to fundamentally change the country. They mostly want to be left alone.

But of course, they will never be left alone. The woke radicals will never stop — until someone stops them. A kind of conservative radicalism, or at least activism, is going to be required to accomplish that.”

Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
Works for me.

The country is beyond saving, with majority of voters, institutions, politicians, large corporations, all have already gone woke.

The socialists are better organized and have won.

Now it is every man/woman for himself/herself. The cavalry is not coming. Protect yourself.

First, move somewhere that can be saved in your lifetime, depending on your age. San Fran or Chicago probably isn’t it, for examples.

I’m somewhere great, just needs to be preserved, and the locals get it.

Someone like Elon Musk is going to have to buy say 50 square miles from a country with the right to make his land an independent country.

No income tax, no property tax ever for citizens.

Only a sales tax of 6% and only on personal property and only tariffs of up to 10% for government tax revenue.

The leftists are going to have their leftist utopia, for a few years.

Like I said, they win when we give up and only then.

You are proof positive.

A Great man, who was killed by dark forces, once said: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” WE must step up to the plate and do what is right, not what is easy or popular—but right. You know the answers, they may not be pleasant, the truth sometimes isn’t pretty. One town at a time, one school, one newspaper, one radio station, one church, and lastly One state. No one will do it for you. MAGA means you have to do more than wear the hat.

I fear that the right, in general, is a paper tiger and we have lost this nation.

“You’re going to have to save the country yourselves.”

Very true, and it’s worth asking what is meant by “the country.” The liberal order is done. The federal government is done. The larger national institutions are done. “The country” means the people. As all of this crumbles, local and hyper-local institutions are going to be needed to keep order. Meet your neighbors. Go to a nearby church. Join a hunting club. Join a garden club. Run for sheriff. Run for school board. Those are the people you are going to have to rely on, and they on you. Imagine the world portrayed in the first Mad Max movie, but with the urban/rural dynamic reversed. That is not where we are headed. We are already there. Not even the people causing this calamity want it to happen. No one does. We just need to be ready to get the rebuilding project underway. It will get worse before it gets better.

What to you made JFK great?

I’ve heard this all my life about him but I don’t remember hearing any reasons that I would ever consider him great. Popular, yes? Great? Convince me. Respectfully submitted.
