Typical excellent insight and historical background that is indicative of the type of trouble the current administration is likely to lead us into... if they don't lead us into even worse.

CommonTator has common sense, that’s for sure. Wish our elected officials had some. A good start would be by reading this post. You would think the dummies would know this already. Geesh! It’s COMMON SENSE.

God bless ya Tator!

Thank you for putting CommonTator’s wise analysis on “virtual paper”. Still praying for a miracle.

Thanks so much for doing this! And our prayers are with Ray; I’m praying for a miracle, too!

So good to hear from Ray once more. :-)

Many prayers are being said for you, Ray, along with a gentle hug and much love. :wub:

Hello all. When I was talking to Ray on the phone yesterday, and told him about all the thoughts and prayers sent to me, he was overwhelmed. He said he would love to post something, and I told him I would write it down, and get it on here. Besides his thanks for all the well wishes, he, of course, being CT, wanted to make a polit[ic]al statement. With the gracious help of AF Phys, who is and always has been, one of Ray's favorite FReepers made sense of my scribblings. So below is the post, what I was able to convey what Ray was telling me, clarified by AF Phys. Whether you agree or not, this was a joint effort, and I am so glad that I can get Ray's words on here again.

Love and prayers, Lisa

With great respect for CommonTator, I took notes scribed by Lisa from her phone conversation with him. I've done my best to flesh those notes out in the direction I believe he was heading to smoothly argue for that truth. In the process, I've expanded the notes by about a factor of four. Areas between [*** . . . ] I've added for clarification, not simply as interpretation of Lisa's notes. I've done my best to be true to his direction, and any failure in this presentation to effectively argue or present his points with his typical eloquence is solely mine. He may have removed some parts if he had chance to fact check, but I believe the argument does not rest on any such sections. - ###AFPhys

Commontator's right.

Short term solutions are going to make the problem worse in the end. The only way that's not going to happen is if some Deus ex Machina - cold fusion or the equivalent comes on the scene.

Short of that - liberal solutions will produce what they always do - great misery and despair.

I miss Commontator's thoughts ...

Unfortunately the great depression is something few of us remember and the lessons of it seemingly are considered to be of no import in our current situation.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The younger members of our society by and large do not want to know about events that happened to America 80 years ago. Big mistake. It is essentially the same thing all over again ... magnified by about 10 times ... maybe twice that number.

We are walking the path of our lives being in totally controlled by a Socialist/Marxist/Communist government ... in all areas of our life, oppression to our freedoms, persecution for being Christian, discarded for being too old, sold lies about global warming, carbon emissions, having our exploration for oil curtailed to the point of creating a true shortage and sky rocketing prices again; our children taken over by the state, educated with evil intent, our guns collected, and/or ammunition the same, a police state is coming. Where is the resistance? Who is standing their ground? Where is the line drawn in the sand? The One World government is almost upon us. We will pay the price for the whole world's costs; and we too will be a third world country.

Believe it or not ... it is closer than you think. We must stop this madness as best we can.

I've been a quiet reader of CommonTator's writings from Day 1. They've been especially insightful to me during the election seasons.

Thanks for sharing the wealth of your experiences with us.
