I've had two epiphanies in my life, the first came in my early twenties when I turned against my fundamentalist Christian upbringing. I admit this was more of a rebellion against the strict moral code of conduct rather than an ideological awakening, however over time I rationalized and validated my reasons for disbelief. I am comfortable with my religious views, or lack thereof, if not always comforted.
My second awakening of sorts started when I moved to California and saw liberalism in action. It has been a gradual process over the past couple of years but watching the election this year has really brought things into focus.
In our politics there is no integrity, no honesty, no reason, no consistency, no character. There is only the ignorant masses and those who manipulate them.
From top to bottom, the Obama campaign was one of the most disgusting episodes in American political history. From Acorn vote fraud, to Obama not being a natural born citizen, from Aunti to Ayers, from the massive amounts of untraceable donations, from the 'civilian defense force' to the Maliki suprise, from Gaza phonebanks to bankrupting coal, from the race card to the soviet flags; this campaign has been nothing but an exercise in democrat hypocrisy, aided and abetted by a socialist media and carried on the shoulders of a selfish, valueless, and ignorant populace.
Looking at what America has already become, not to mention what it will be after 4 years of Obamapelosi, I have no hope. This country is nearly done. Perhaps that it is a bit melodramatic, I have no plans at this time to cease being a law abiding citizen and am not willing to surrender just yet. But I have started taking steps to 'go John Galt' and I am curious as to if any of you have any suggestions or links to ways I can avoid putting one GOD DAMN cent of my money in a liberal mouth. I am currently limited in the fact that I cannot move out of California for at least a year or so.
This is what I do so far: I do not spend any money on movies, cd's, dvd's or any other trash that comes out of Hollywood. I watch very little TV and less of the major networks. When online, I visit CNN or MSNBC as little as possible.
I've always been a buy American kind of person to keep jobs here, but (and I think I got this idea here at FR) if I am going to be enriching communists with my purchases anyway, I may as well get my items for the lowest possible price. WALMART here I come.
I am tired of placing my assets in a monetary system that charges me money to protect them, will not protect me against ID theft by illegals, and which devalues my earnings through the uncontrolled printing of money. I have begun withdrawing my money slowly and placing it in shall we say, more tangible commodities.
I have ceased frequenting all of the major fast food chains due to their hiring of illegal immigrants and the fact that I can barely place an order due to the fact that their employees cannot speak English.
I buy very few 'toy' items and use what things I do purchase for as long as possible.
Are there any websites that promote conservative produced items or companies? I would love to hear if any of you have any gameplan for keeping your money out of the mouths of the moochers. Also, my current financial institution is WaMu (aka Morgan), I cannot completely remove all funds from the system, so is there any bank out there that does not traffic with illegals or give money to democrats?
Who will save us from this crush of newbies and their preening vanities???
Try some of your local banks. You may find both better service and less objectionable policies. Several even deliberately did NOT expand and therefore didn’t fall into the CRA trap.
No man comes to The Father save through The Son
words to live by my friend.. heed them well
for this is a day that the Lord hath made
let us be glad and rejoice in it
Disregard the flamers. Good post. I totally agree. If Atlas Shrugged has ever been prominent in my thoughts, it is now. This country is on the fast track to 3rd world status.
Good post.. I think Walmart buys a lot of stuff from China.. I could be wrong, but my brother calls it Woo Mart.
I have heard that a lot from my Christian friends lately.
That’s because it’s times like this when we have to be reminded that everything has a purpose and a reason.
And also a reason to celebrate, even in the face of fear.
Well put. I intend to print up some phony vouchers for tips to leave with servers at restaurants. If Obama raises my taxes I will request they collect my tip on 4/15/10.
I dont mind the vanities. I could always skip them.
I suppose it is up to we, the readers, to poke a stick in their eye.
Shop yard sales, classifieds and second-hand stores like Salvation Army. Buy used where ever possible.
Oh, a lot of the Obama taxes will be of the stealth variety, too. Things like when you go to the stores, everything will get higher and higher as the companies will pass their tax burdens on to YOU.
And there are plenty of Yard Sales, especially "MOVING" sales around here. And there will be lots more.
1: Read the foreclosure Pages.
2: Locate the house on Zillow.com.
3: Watch for the "Moving Sale" sign.
4: Bring cash, and a truck.
5: Keep what you like, sell the rest on Ebay.
Spread the wealth. It all came from an imaginary mortgage anyway. The people get cash for things that were not really paid for, and you get great deals. No sales taxes, and I am sure the people foreclosed will diligently report their cash income from the Sale. *snort*
Trickle up poverty is truly the policy of the socialist.

Good post. I try to do many of the things you suggest as well. One addition...if you have cable, cancel it and do not buy the MSM magazines or newspapers either.
We are in this together and we need to stick together if we are to weather this storm.

Love vanities BUMP, Keep ‘em coming. I would rather read a vanity than the screed coming from the “elites”. F all of the “elites”.
Why do you read them?
Study the career of the smuggler John Hancock. Opportunities abound.
