To: null and void

Thanks for the ping.

Since the bailout under Bush, the subsequent election of Obama and the nightmare we find ourselves in, I find myself entertaining thoughts that 3 or 4 years ago would have been utterly foreign. I’ve never “trusted” my government- but I’ve rarely been alarmed or frightened by it either. I’ve made certain assumptions about the inherent corruption of government and assumed it would always be thus- on the right and the left.

Now I’m observing unimaginable breakdown of the constitution, of liberty and freedom. It isn’t a joke anymore- it seems we really ARE living in the twilight zone.

Then I watch the manipulation of thought being carried out daily by the press- such as the reactions to the three “political” murders we’ve seen in the last few weeks. Somehow black is white, purple is green and on second thought- there’s no color at all- it’s morphing into the famous gray of collectivism.

Any thoughts or plans about the future- my own personal future and the future of our country I now find are under constant re-evalution, there is no constant underpinning that can be counted on, no foundation to trust.

I wonder- is this how it’s always been when a formerly free people have begun to witness the signs of tyranny? Did they ask these questions we ask? Did they fear for their safety and future? Did they dismiss their doubts, thinking they must be exaggerating?

wow mom, I was just pondering the very same things yesterday, as well as the 'gut feeling' of our citizens as the rest of the world headed for MAJOR conflict before both world wars, knowing [???] instinctively that their future plans were just so much daydreaming...

ive actually been kinda stuck for quite some time, several years actually, about whether or not its worth while to even get outta bed some mornings, cause I *know* in my guts that im really only killin time...

since november, my mind has been constantly racing back & forth on the proper preparation to somehow insulate my family from the coming storm, but alas, as with the previous years, I realize that God has a spot for me & mine in His Plan, and I must trudge along until its all revealed...

my 'fat & happy' future plans may well come to pass, but my human outlook cannot rest comfortably with this in yer face attempt by a rogue government, to pick the very fight for our existence none of us truly wants, but that we all know is truly needed...

on a side note, Ive been having a hard time piecing together the underlying insanity of the hussein...specifically, how does a muzzie [ruled by royal theocracy] and an alinsky socialist [basically an atheist collectivist thug] coexist in the same person ???

or should we simply call this pr!ck 'legion' ??? sending it into a herd of swine would be ironic eh???
