Folks, whether you avoid thinking about it or not, we may be governed by socialists in all three branches of our government next year. We are going to get a Liberal administration one way or another. We already have Liberal judges all over the country. In the worst-case scenario, we would also get a bigger-margin Democratic congress with Liberals in the leadership positions. As conservatives we don't feel doom and gloom all the time as Liberals do (except now they have 'hope and change'). Lives go on. A good thing about being a conservative is that we prepare for a rainy day.
We can't do anything to change the mess that is going on in our country overnight. It is an accumulation of the ills in the society, planned or unplanned, from mal-education to entitlement mentality, Oprahfication, dishonest media, immorality, multi-culturalism, political correctness, motivations initiated by envy, fear and/or hatred and so on. It seems that all the fruits of these errors are going to ripen at the same time.
Let's brainstorm what may happen and prepare for it right now. We still have almost a year to do whatever necessary to protect our families and ourselves. Hopefully, we still have strength left afterwards to reclaim our country back to be a shining city upon the hill again.
Ah, Mike and the Mechanics, good song, scary that it is appropriate. Looks like I’ll need to buy some more bricks of .22LR. BLOAT
Do you have to live “back woods” to make use of the information there?
Is title this science fiction, or modern fiction?
What is a good, low maintenance garden crop for Texas climate?
What are Rhodesian boilers?
Do the Dave Ramsey routine. Pay off debt, build up an emergency fund, pay off the house.
My own thoughts are that the US is no longer a viable country and will need to be split up within the next fifteen years or thereabouts. Democracy is a good system for governing a fairly homogeneous group of people with shared ideals and values; it is NOT a reasonable system for sharing power between two or more groups with nothing in common at all who basically just hate eachother. When that happens, which is what we have now, than democracy is reduced to a contest to see who can be better at gaming the system. The thing we want to be sure of when D-Day (Divorce Day) arrives, is that the country is split up by county and not by state.
I’m sorry, I don’t understand the question.
I was asking if Sundown at Coffin Rock, The Sequel was science fiction or modern fiction.
I found a excerpt on line later, so you can disregard the question.
I write science fiction and horror, sometimes along the same lines as Sundown at Coffin Rock, though not quite so rural a setting for my stories.
Or do what I’ve done: boy lots and lots of reloading gear/supplies.
Stay as poor as possible. For heaven sakes, don’t try to get rich or better yourself. By keeping yourself poor, you will not only stay safely below the radar from gov’t oppression, you will get free perks and benefits from the gov’t, as you will have achieved victim status, no wealth, but better yet, victim status. You will be on the high priority list for handouts. You will be beloved as long as you don’t get an uppity attitude, unless it is to squawk about the rich.
The final stage of the cycle is the fall back into bandage. Thomas Jefferson provided the perfect warning with this statement, “A government big enough to give you anything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.”

Must be why it's my favorite mag. I fit the profile.
We will be vastly expanding our garden plot this spring.
As will we.
>When the county sheriffs round up the guns for “security” reasons it will be time to move on.<
It won’t be the county sheriffs rounding up the guns. It’ll be UN troops. How many LEO’s is there in your county per 100,000 people? Five, ten, fifteen, a hundred? Would you fight 1000 to 1 odds? Cops aren’t that stupid.
If the local cops ever decided to go against the people, they wouldn’t have a home when their shift ended. Maybe not a family either if shooting were occurring.
