I disagree. When I see all of these welfare moochers and commies I say they don't deserve to be free. They really aren;t "free" people, but that goes deeper than laws. The nation has to be a nation of laws for people to be free but there are people who will never be free due to their blindness. This country deserves better citizens IMO as it is much bigger than just one person.

I’ve seen this more than once recently. The Second Coming by Yeats.
The other that comes to mind is The God of the Copybook Headings by Kipling.
Good to hear, because I'm making a very similar move next week. :)
“There is one peaceful option”
Is there?
And .. ObamaCare is for the rest of us .. because at the age of 76 - YOU ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR CANCER TREATMENT.
YOU CAN’T GET MUCH MORE EVIL THAN THAT ..!!!!!
It was actually over quite a few years ago. I bought my property with the assumption that McCain would win...
The Gods of the Copybook Headings by Kipling.
...When the Cambrian measures were forming,
They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons,
that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and
delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
“Stick to the Devil you know.”
...On the first Feminian Sandstones
we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour
and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children
and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
“The Wages of Sin is Death.”
...In the Carboniferous Epoch
we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter
to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money,
there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
“If you don’t work you die.”
“because at the age of 76 - YOU ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR CANCER TREATMENT.”
I know what we need. We need a Great American Patriotic Revival.
I’m too small and untalented to do it first; and too cowardly to try to do it alone. It’ll take a far younger man with far more charisma than me.
The carping cynics will make fun of it, and make it sound crazy over-the-top-Tea-Party-vastrightwingextremistconspiracy, and most people
would rather die than be ridiculed. So, it won’t be easy, and the Powers That Be will be the enemy — and they are both cruel and powerful.
But I’ll be in that army (small “a”) and do my part as my health and strength allow. But I can’t start it, and I can’t lead it.
That’s what we need to survive as a Republic.
Sorry you’re so pessimistic but I’m not even close to giving up.
BINGO! We have a winner.
” But I think the answer lies earlier than that: the discovery and widespread use of The Pill. It threw open the gates for the “sex without consequences” libertinism that’s engulfed our society”
Is there?
Yes, and it is right under our noses in Article V.
One man’s realism is another man’s pessimism. ;-)
BTW, I’m not pessimistic. I simply know the heart of man and the fate of democracy. And this life is but a mist anyway.
FWIW, here is where I am enjoying my pessimistic years:

We enjoy every single day the Lord brings us and feel like we are living in the garden of eden, but with more ticks.
We’re in the apathy of cheap sentimental one-ups-man-ship. There isn’t a “war on women”...in fact women are killing us. Single women as voters are killing the country.
“Convention of States.”
I don’t think it could be done, or that leftards would accept it if it were.
Whatever you do, don’t click the link.
It’s a web site. Nice. I’m not optimistic.
“I intend to be in denial for the rest of my living days.”
Same here. I am retiring early to a rural area that is said to be 40 years behind the times. I was told that as if it Waseca bad thing.
Days spent hiking, chopping wood, raising chickens and goats, and making cheese. I’ll check back here for news, but will otherwise be living in a bubble of my own making.
Awesome. Sounds like my plan. In a state very close by. I considered Kentucky especially Amish country. But I have to be near mountains or hills to feel at home.
