When the end of the world comes, I believe it will be liberals who will cause it to happen.

No. IMHO, all the “heroes” in Atlas Shrugged had major personality disorders, including but limited to, narcissitic PD, anti-social PD, borderline PD, and good dose of passive aggressiveness. Were it real, Galt’s Gulch would have ended up some sort of weird suicide-homicide crime scene with dismembered bodies everywhere and weird scribblings on the wall.

I believe we are in the midst of a DEPRESSION, not a recession. The government is constantly lying to justify their actions and trying to paint these rosy scenarios which are all lies.

That wouldn't be the ultimate theological answer, but it is very likely to be the basic methodology that brings it about.

There’s a weird ‘job protection” series of laws in Costa Rica that function as the ultimate disincentive to do anything. Crappy service etc...

I think so, too. And I'm going to blame anyone who's not conservative - libs AND rinos.

Well, it's going to go bankrupt if they do pass the health care bill, too, but at least he's thinking about it. He talks about it publicly, which is one thing prior administrations refused to do. Give him credit for that. But what he's setting up with this health care system will just accelerate the process.

Yep, we should applaud him for that, HE LIES!!!

“A question to consider is why; if a near-controlling entity wants to expand, would it allow the economy to make a down-turn? The answer seems simple. It is only when there is loss, panic, or confusion can power and control be usurped. If economics is indeed a science, then it can be manipulated”

I agree. Obama and his cohorts are in the crisis manufacturing business. Health care is a crisis. Automobile industry is a crises. The Air we breath is a crisis. Soon the whole economy will be one big crisis and they will step in to save the day. All you have to do is turn over all your wealth and freedom and you will be taken care of.

Good advice. Question - what are you investing in? Where are you keeping any extra cash?

The New Deal killed the US. LBJ just built on FDR’s destructive policies with a second enormous wave of wealth redistribution, destruction of families, killing of individualism and rise of collectivism.


Fair enough. Now we need to kill nearly a century of Fabian socialism. And any who would resist the reassertion of liberty.

Yes, since it may be illegal to charge more than x dollars for open heart surgery, off shore Heart Surgery could be a boom business. I have heard that Costa Rica will be the place where we go for health care.

If Americans were all online and protected themselves by heeding the advice of Jim Sinclair and John Williams they would stand a good chance of surviving the coming debacle.

Good point, but I don't want leftists to survive the coming debacle.

A third party would need to be successful right from the getgo. That is why any talk of a third party is counterproductive. Rush Limbaugh makes this point over and over again. The thing to do is hold republicans to tough standards and if they fail to meet those standards vote only then for a third party candidate but never ever vote for a democrat.


Ideally, crush the Democrats immediately; replace the StatismLite party after.

Except for District 23 type games, or a creep show Presidential nominee (eminently possible) 3rd Party is foolish at this critical time.

I'm also looking into getting a couple of rain barrels for an alternative water source. Will be growing a large garden this spring, got a woodstove and a wooded lot.

Good moves. If you study survival, the texts generally focus on satisfying basic needs: water, food, shelter, etc. All FReepers need to be thinking in these terms.

Above ground swimming pools are good, too.

Good speech. I wish so much he had kept church/state separation out of it. It’s irrelevant to the rest of what he said. I wouldn’t advise crushing the secular society.

Are you serious about boiling stones? Does that really work?

A better approach is to buy a few years worth of multi-vitamins. Then if you are forced to eat nothing but rice (for example), you can get your minerals and vitamins from the multi-vitamins.
