The people who voted Obama back in do not have a clue as to why we might be just a bit frustrated and angry. It is far too easy just to put us in neat little box and call us racists, or rednecks, or just old fogies who have outlived their usefulness. They are so far empty of morality that they no longer recognize right and wrong.<br /><br />And yes, that's sad.. damned sad.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-87050602058433207742012-11-07T18:35:23.655-07:002012-11-07T18:35:23.655-07:00Like these, I've enjoyed your writings and hav...Like these, I've enjoyed your writings and have agreed with most. I also agree with you that this political turn will ultimately lead to violence since there are plenty of people who will not be told how to live (what they will/must do) by some government minion. I am one of those people. My stash of necessities is complete, composed of what my family and I will need when society realizes the makers will no longer willingly supply the takers. The pictures of the crowds weeping in joy over the marxist's victory was nauseating, probably because there was about 1 job for every 4 people there, but thank GOD it "looked like America" according to some news wimp. If you have not prepared, do it - time is short and getting shorter. Obama will move quickly now sensing the weakness of his opposition and the strength of his supporters. "I never thought it could happen here" will be a common refrain.TheRandyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023953371955252836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-72092932680991686042012-11-07T16:27:35.391-07:002012-11-07T16:27:35.391-07:00Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment...Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment David. And hey, if Texas secedes give me a call..I'll come running!<br /><br />Ken, you've been a long and loyal reader. We've exchanged ideas and philosophies and shared our frustrations. Thanks for tuning in often and taking the time to comment. I've already started another blog called The Good News Journal..only a few entries there and I haven't promoted it yet. I'll post a link soon. God bless and God speed.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-57531063174063839832012-11-07T16:14:00.536-07:002012-11-07T16:14:00.536-07:00I shall miss you, you have become like a friend he...I shall miss you, you have become like a friend here. I have been very sad all day but have slowly come to realize it is now out of my hands. I listen to my daughter who sounds very much like David up there and it breaks my heart. It is us who allowed this to happen. We allowed unions to dictate what was taught in schools and who taught it. Now we have the dumbed down electorate, and the media support the left has always wanted. We lost the war. I don't see us coming back unless we dip to the methods of the left and that would make me sick. <br /><br />So to you I will say good bye for now and thank you so much for all your efforts. I will watch anxiously for your new blog, I enjoy so much the way you write, you have a way of grabbing right at my heart. Good bye and God Bless you!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820329703683247263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-75837957710107569672012-11-07T07:55:37.470-07:002012-11-07T07:55:37.470-07:00As a part of that young generation, I very much be...As a part of that young generation, I very much believe in traditional values. Conservatives often talk about Constitutional government, and while I think that would be very good, it has not prevented what we have now. Perhaps something along the lines of the Confederacy would be better; one six year term with no political parties. The electoral college is often attacked, but I think it is still relevant as a bulwark against fraud and fascism. It is strange for someone my age to say this, but I don't think my generation should be voting. Voting rights for white male land owners may have been racist or sexist by modern standards, but it reflected the reality of the time. Now we let almost anyone vote. Why should those whose main interest is beer pong be allowed to choose the leader of the free world? If the minimum age for election is 35, perhaps that should be the minimum voting age as well. I was educated in public schools and barely had any idea of politics when I graduated. It was only through determined research that I embraced conservatism. Am sure many of my peers are just completely ignorant. What we have is a cult of democracy. Hayek argued that it is much better to live under a dictator who grants freedoms than a repressive democracy. If we had a pure democracy and put the First Amendment up for a vote, we'd have lost it ages ago. The left wins by changing the language. Newspeak. Truly disgusting. Thank you so much for this blog. I hope Texas secedes.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848382816487141061noreply@blogger.com
