Prepare your family for the collapse, so you won’t have to depend on the gov’t when it all goes kablooey.
There’s not rolling this back short of total collapse,
and they will try to take advantage of it to get you dependent on them so they can control you.
Prepare yourself, your family, and build your community.
You are not the only one. I do not participate in online surveys that ask for an opinion of Obama. I suspect some of these surveys are info-gathering sites for the WH.
The problem, as I see it, is like trying to run an association
of people who don’t like to belong to associations.
“They” also have the infrastructure. The natural reflex of all government bureaucracy is to be pro-government. With Marxism, that inclination is decoupled from patriotism, distinguishing it from old bureaucratic states (pre-20th century Europe, old Russia, etc.) We also are disinclined to destroy standing institutions, for the reasons you state.
It is going to have to get considerably worse before there is a reflexive response. The longer it takes, the worst it will be, and the end result might not be better.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “the reason we won’t stand up and against”. Most here do stand up & against. The problem I have with my family is that they refuse to acknowledge the reality that the communists have infiltrated both parties to a degree that we are losing our country. Obama is a Marxist true-believer. But he repeatedly says ‘I’m not ideological’, & they just accept that. Despite his talk about equality, fairness, redistribution, etc., etc.
If you can’t get the average American, who is not as politically informed as we here, to understand the truth, we’re pretty well lost.
An excerpt from
They Thought They Were Free
The Germans, 1933-45
Milton Mayer
snip
“What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.

“Uncertainty is a very important factor, and, instead of decreasing as time goes on, it grows. Outside, in the streets, in the general community, ‘everyone’ is happy. One hears no protest, and certainly sees none. You know, in France or Italy there would be slogans against the government painted on walls and fences; in Germany, outside the great cities, perhaps, there is not even this. In the university community, in your own community, you speak privately to your colleagues, some of whom certainly feel as you do; but what do they say? They say, ‘It’s not so bad’ or ‘You’re seeing things’ or ‘You’re an alarmist.’

It’s like being a Christian. You become one knowing you may be a martyr or possibly so, at least in this era.
This year we conservatives will be more officially a political third wheel. Not really Republican and unable after all to muster the financial war chest to work inside and change the R. Party.
I foresee an odd couple union with Libertarians if there is ever to develop a Third Party that is close to viable. I am not saying I recommend it, but they are better organized at least during the primaries and at the state/national conventions, worked as a unit, are attractive to the young adult voters, and unafraid to get messy at the Rules Committee meeting.
Conservative numbers are stagnant, with mostly the religious Right together with the solely fiscal conservatives. We have not grown our numbers and we will not let someone like Cruz, as an example, move to the center far enough to expand voters beyond the base.
Conservatives won’t play ball.
Tax revolt as in a true Tea Party action is the only broad thing the country, historically, has can done that cuts the spigot off in DC and cramps their style.
Thanks, very much, for posting.
I’ve said since the early 90’s that I feel like a jew in early 30’s Germany.
And to carry that paradigm through, what did the smart Jews in Germany do? They left. I believe western civilization is the “spiritual babylon” of Revelation. I left it in the spirit of Revelation 18:4. I bought my small farm in central KY in 2008 (two weeks before obama was elected. The timing is not coincidental) and moved there from my home of 45 years, Seattle, in 2011. We also dumped television in 1997.
I got out of spiritual Babylon as best as I could.
The down and dirty fundamental bottom line is that conservatives are not smart enough, period. Yes, not smart enough, particularly regarding the social effects of technology, namely, electronic technology. Start with Marshal McLuhan’s seminal book “Understanding Media, the Extensions of Man”. Then Google Antonio Gramsci followed up by a close study of these two web sites:
www.ecofascism.com
http://deepgreenresistance.org/en/who-we-are/about-dgr
And then we can always use a little work on our sense of empathy and try to learn what it meant to be a REPUBLICAN in 1856.
The left will try for a coup before Obama is out of office. They are desperate and aware that their own insanity will sink them. Their Global Warming delusion was their frontal assault and it is bogged. But we really need to target the mind set that enables them and it’s not what you think. www.ecofascism.com. Read it and try to learn a new trick about who controls what on this planet.
Things are unfolding pretty much the way they were planned, but don’t pay attention to me, I’m a wacko conspiracy theorist, and considered foolish by many here on FR.
This is a good thread to post this link again:

The One Hour Meltdown

"Tyranny is always better organized than freedom...the strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance." -- Thomas Paine
"..it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.." --Samuel Adams
My reason for leading with these 3 quotations will become clear as you watch the maddening 20+minute video at the link below. It will most likely cause you to recoil and shout "bulls**t", "that CAN'T be true", "these guys are NUTS," "I LOVED Bush. Why woulld he have been involved in this stuff," etc., etc... The answer to that last one is simple: He -- as have been so, so many of the others -- was either BORN into it, tapped later in life to become part of it, the scam pays VERY, VERY well (both emotionally and monetarily) and they with to continue breathing! Think JFK for that last one.
Then you will ask the same question I ask myself when more of this information pops up: How is it that guys like Jones and others are not "taken out" for trying to blow the lid off this -- and there's no other word that works here -- conspiracy? Your reaction to this information is a micro expression of why it continues: You either don't BELIEVE it (cognitive dissonance) and/or think to yourself that it's so BIG that there's no way any sort of critical mass could be assembled to do anything about it so WHY BOTHER even thinking about it further.
Then there's the "conspiracy's" understanding that their control of the mass media prevents any but a small fraction of the people around you from even HEARING any of this.
Add to that the growing numbers of dumbed down suckers at the government teat and you have your answer. We have allowed the main actors in this treacherous, treasonous theater to bring the process to the level where they really don't CARE if we know about it as we will do nothing substantive to stop them.
If you remember the film "The Manchurian Candidate" you now know where we are. Except this time OUR "candidate" came to us from Chicago (but you can insert a number of place names here). The bad news is that given our current trend, there's less and less difference between Manchuria and Chicago every day.
The REALLY BAD news is that if something isn't done to arrest that process, it is spreading to the entire nation.
Might want to start preparing an answer to a question your kids and grandkids will ask you: What was freedom like?

It is your kind of fear that the regime (as does every regime since the beginning of history)relies on to impose its will on you. Without that fear, they are nothing.
“Am I the only one who knows my family can’t survive if I am in jail?”
No. But also ask yourself: how well will your family survive in a gulag?
God, family, tribe. Those are the things that will matter.
