I re-read your post and it has to be the most screwed up post on this thread.
#1. Who cares what your rural relatives had back in the day.
#2. “We are going to have to go backward for awhile?” Backward is what? I’ll tell you what. It is called backward in FREEDOM.
#3. “Now *I* have the magic wallet, and the only way it has money in it is if I don’t spend it.” This is the most laughable. Guess what. 0bama knows you have the magic wallet. You won’t be able to say ‘No’ to him.
You seem to delight that misery is coming by way of communism. It’ll teach us young whippersnappers a lesson won’t it. Teach us the value of a dollar won’t it? Don’t you get it?
What matters is FREEDOM. Not whatever crap you have piled up in your garage that you wasted YOUR money on.
A Sam Adams quote is good for you.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” Sam Adams
Recent conversation with a lib-in-law who drives a huge SUV used just for buying junk at estate sales -
she thinks she will still have the freedom to choose what vehicle she drives if these people get their way.
How is it that all libs seem to think THEY are part of the exempt elite that will not have to comply with the rules being imposed on everyone else?
Dude. That is the third time you’ve replied to my post, and it wasn’t even posted to you. Lighten up.
I can see I touched a nerve, but it wasn’t intended to be inflammatory. I’m not saying I LIKE what’s going on, I’m just saying what I see coming. When the first bombs fell last September and Circuit City announced they were going out of business, my first thought was, we’re not going to be needing as much retail.
Likewise, when the cost of energy “necessarily skyrockets”, people aren’t going to be able to casually trot up to the city to buy things. That’s all I’m saying.
