Well, to be fair (and frank), I’m following this race as people follow sporting events. I am a prepper and consider the country (and western civilization) as done, almost certainly in 2012.
Heck, why restate it. Here is how I feel about it: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2795993/posts?page=4#4
Over? Did you say ‘Over’?! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
I agree. Maybe the 2012 disaster is the US crashing and taking the rest of the planet with her. I’m not much of a prepper but I have been stocking up on the essentials to tide us over for a few weeks. If SHTF most would be dead in the first few weeks anyway.
What’s a prepper?
Went over and your post there. Pretty accurate IMO.
I’m not prep’ed enough and am too close to major cities. And I can’t relocate because I am helping my elderly mother who has health and mobility problems.
It will be FUBAR.

So my question to you then is, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to leave the country? If so, where are you going to go? Should all of us who still love and are willing to keep fighting for this country just jump off a bridge since you seem to think it’s a foregone conclusion there’s no hope for western civilization and therefore we should just turn it over to the socialists/communists and get it over with? Well, I’m glad our founding fathers didn’t have this defeatist attitude when they were fighting for independence from the British. Sheesh!
Honestly, I’m so sick and tired of reading doom-and-gloom posts on FR, which seem to be becoming more plentiful here these days. They’re highly non-constructive and counter productive quite frankly. SHOW SOME BACKBONE, FOLKS!!
I just wante dto say, I read your post on the other thread (that you lined), and I agree. Mostly the chairs are just being shifted on deck at this point. Unless Social Secuirty, for example is completely eradicated, then there will be no change. Socialism doesn’t work. Even if it could be made to work, financially, on paper, the human element doens’t work. The problem is that no one other than Paul and Bachmann, are willing to get up and say “NO! The government WILL NOT take care of you.” Now, both of them have points I disagree with them on on a variety of issues, but I refuse to vote for anyone who says a little socialism is ok “Because you earned it.” As long as Socialism remains protected, God’s providence is ignored (and subsequently, withdrawn).
actually, I think you’re probably correct. When we look back on the election of 2012 from the perspective of say, 2013/2014, we’ll see it didn’t matter because of the bankruptcy of the country and the break down in civil society.
