As most often occurs, I agree with your perspectives and analysis.
To me it is sad that Cruz has allowed himself to be marginalized — but it will be as it will be, not withstanding various opinions including my own. My biggest concern is winning the general election and it will be brutal come November given the stakes and the national rancor that has developed over the last decade plus.
Thanks to Free Republic we have a forum to read various conservative perspectives and learn the truth.
Thank you, Jim Robinson, for providing this forum and your views. Always appreciated.
You are right on target. Being prepared is more than having a few gallons of water and a couple weeks of food stored in the pantry. It requires strategic storage of food, clothing, source of heat, and protection. Many signs are clearly apparent for the threats that exist in this sorry world. And our government (federal, state or local) is not something to rely upon for anything if a SHTF event. When one looks at the very real and apparent threat from a "EMP attack" (just Google it) upon the US, it is sobering and of epic proportions... Also, many people who look at the threat, then just want to cover their ears and shut their eyes to what it might mean to them and their families -- too horrific for many to put on the family kitchen table for understanding, much less planning and preparation for the inevitable consequences.
Citizens shouldn't just take the word of internet warriors or Preppers, but go to the sources of intelligence such as ex-CIA Director James Woolsey and Frank Gaffney Center for Security Policy. Both of these experts have been sounding the alarm for years, and know what they are talking about based on factual evidence and background.
People absolutely need to wake up and consider what they need for at least six months or a year or longer to survive without electricity and their usual source(s) of food and other supplies. And no, your Safeway store won't be able to restock (after a three day run on their shelves) in three weeks if electricity is gone. Recognizing the reality is something we all should do before it is too late.
PS thank you for continuing to post the Preppers' PING list.
Wonderful idea, attack your base. Maybe the GOPe should try that. Oh wait, they are already doing that.
That!!!
I've been a NASCAR fan for decades and it has given me less and less as a fan, and more and more to folks who don't care about the traditions of the sport and now America. Being politically correct is wrong, stupid, and not for me. I've been watching it less and less as the France's latest generation gets more and more stupid. This is the latest insult and I ain't buying what NASCAR is selling.
Take care my FRiends, this global warming is becoming dangerous!
Seriously, I am concerned for the tens of millions in harm’s way. The NWS reports show that up to 100 million U.S. citizens will be in the freezing zone in the next 48 hours. Be safe!
