Here we are in the Decadent phase of Western Civilization when good times have produced weak men--and women and children.
The signs are everywhere.
America's weakness is not lost on America's enemies.
In fact, America's domestic enemies, i.e. America's Fifth Column, aided and abetted by America's enemies abroad, constantly encourage America's decadence and weakness. Their intention is to destroy the USA once and for all or to weaken the USA to the extent that they can seize her, with all her riches, for themselves, which is the same thing.
Their greedy hands are busy, and they salivate, as they see, for the first time in history, the real possibility of seizing America, with all her riches, for themselves and enslaving and exploiting The American People.
Many Americans are so weak, enfeebled by good times and luxury, emasculated, and brainwashed that they are unable to comprehend the danger which threatens them and their children--or the consequences of not defeating it.
In fact, some are so weakened, enfeebled, emasculated, and brainwashed that they can find no reason to survive, to have children, or to have a past or a future, which is the ultimate wretchedness of decadence.
The evil exploit this wretchedness.
Are there enough strong Americans--enough Americans who have not allowed themselves to be weakened like this--enough Americans who are strong, wise, and benevolent--to save the greatest nation in history--to save the government of The People, by The People, and for The People?
Only time will tell.
Freedom? This country was locked down, critical institutions such as healthcare and the armed forces were stripped of anyone who is not completely obedient to their masters.
Ladies in most states have men in their bathrooms, so do their daughters.
The defence of marriage act will have enormous impacts.
We have lost the freedom to call a man a man and a women a woman.
This post truth, post Christian country believes in the ancient cults of the ark ages.
Now we are all forced to do so.
Before J6 the Obama admin was using the IRS and other agencies to target political or moral opposition.
We are censored to the deepest regions.
We may be more free than other countries…. But just wait…. Davis is coming and Whitney and kemp are brining it to a city near you.
I personally think freedom lost is never regained in the history of the world. Trump presided over lockdowns, masking, travel restrictions and the inappropriate use of EUA. A Republican prez did this… unthinkable.
If this is freedom… I you have a lot of convincing to do.. or my be just face reality.
Trump was easily used as a leftist tool to put what is coming into motion. Records matter.
I’m proud of what America was, not the way it is.
Trump listened to authoritarian suggestions because he thought he had a sure-thing re-election coming up and didn’t want to lose.
And then they cheated him out of office, anyway.
I’m sure he has many regrets, but the lesson for future conservative office-holders is to never give in on basic principles of liberty. There is no way to allow government to exercise “just a little bit more authority during this emergency” - doing so always leads to a permanent erosion of fundamental freedoms.
Your list is a good one. We have lost much in the past 25 years or so.
Freedom is, however, a relative thing. There is more freedom (of all sorts) in the United States than in most countries. This is something to be proud of. That was my point.
But as you noted, many of our freedoms are slipping away. This is something young folks need to be aware of. Unfortunately, many don’t see it. The liberal propaganda machine is very effective.
I used to be a five alarm flaming lib.
What I expect is that if the indoctrinated still have a few billion neurons to fire together they take their brains out of neutral and trust but verify.
They don’t have to stay indoctrinated.
That’s a choice.
Good explanation.
They should try living elsewhere.
Wait for WW III and the 24/7 Patriotic programing on every media. When the Big Boys get scared that we might lose big—America is no longer the world’s cash cow and the propaganda isn’t enough to hide the truth. Then—all will be Movie Stars going into uniform, Rock Stars, entertaining the troops. Anyone who will not do their part will be shamed and beaten. Looters shot as unpatriotic. Churches full, flags everywhere—not one word on a “Green New Deal” or Climate Change. All will be for Victory. This one we may not win.
I thank God for the low tech, backwoods hillbilly childhood I had.
I’d get on the horse in the morning, whistle up the dog and we’d roam the ridges and woods all day until dark.
Nobody knew where I was and no one worried either.
Kids today are under attack from the minute they hit preschool
( which wasn’t even a thing back when I was little)
I’m a Boomer and I’m having my doubts.
Riding a horse and playing with dogs? I bet you’ve even shot a gun. Are you sure you aren’t really a boy!? (That is what the trans-cult pushes on girls today. No more tom-boys.)
BTW - how are you doing? I hope you are having some good luck with your housing, dealing with insurance and all.
“Z is for Zombie.”
You nailed it!
50% of Zers are total narcissist.
p.s. How are you doing? Prayers your way.
Had to go back to meet the cleanup/restore/replace people today.
All my Alice Cooper shirts perished.
Some were very collectible and valuable.
So much so I never wore them.
Whilst digging through the ruins up there, I realized my crate of original LPs were gone too.
Especially gutting was my Jethro Tull “ Stand Up” pop up double album.
It’s like the literal whole history of my life is gone and I’m not even me anymore.
I’m SO uncomfortable and displaced wearing the clothes I could scrounge up.
All that made me me is gone.
I may seem like I’m staying afloat on the surface but I suspect I’m horribly traumatized deep inside and I worry about the moment it eventually surfaces.
The terrible wreck I witnessed, that killed my friends in 1997 was suppressed so much that I still can’t consciously recall it…while I’m awake.
Two nights after it happened, I was walking past the bedroom door and for a split second I remembered it all consciously and it was very bad.
Crazy screaming bad.
(I’d never screamed like that before and have not, since. Didn’t even know I had such in me)
And then the memory buried itself again.
The state cop had warned hubby that that would probably happen and it did.
As of this moment, I have the same numb detachment with the fleeting grief of the magnitude of the loss like I did back then.
Waiting for the mental dam to break.
For an hour today I went up with a garden rake, desperately digging through that mess in the hope that maybe somehow a pair of my boots had survived and I could regain at least a little piece of “me”.
Instead, I found only remnants of my Converse Chucks collection.
I had to go back to my car and hang onto the steering wheel to stop the chest pains and breathing difficulty.
Thank God Hrafi shoved his warm face up against my cheek and anchored me until it settled down some.
This is a nightmare.
Well, okay then.
They’re off my Christmas list.
You’re in my prayers. And then some.
Have you thought about talking to a therapist? Might help.
Waiting for Red Cross to send me one.
I got my FR family for now and it helps a lot.
I love you all.
