Thanks, thackney. And as long as this is mentioned, let me share with you all, something: I have been going through a core-level depression, what with the events that have unfolded in the last 4 years, November 6th especially. To see my country placed on life support for it's eventual demise has been exceedingly difficult for me.
It has made it impossible to write anything besides funeral durges, and I think we've all had enough of those.
So, I have not been writing, until I feel a little more hope -- IF I feel a little more hope -- about the future.
We might burn, but will rise from our own ashes.
Write that, it IS the future.
rejoice in the bs that this world is offering to those who have no hope, knowing that God has better things for those who seek Him...
John 16:33
I am with you Laz... there is nothing positive to look forward to. It is as if satan owns everyone in DC.

You are not alone.
I, too, have been depressed - - and angry.
I have written off a lot of people because of their willing blindness to what’s going on. They voluntarily voted for their childrens’ chains and I can’t fathom it.
Hope about the future eludes me. My hopes/dreams/plans for the future are now dust. Maybe, in the long run, that’s a good thing from a spiritual perspective. It’s hard to see that from here, tho. I just have to go through the grieving process. I grieve for our country and for what it once was.
Perhaps you should start a funeral dirge column. That could be cathartic.
Laz: I know how you feel. I feel the same way. I’ve been in the same funk since Nov. 6, my posts reflect this and more than once I’ve been called out for it. My depression is rooted in a profound love of history, and the lessons it teaches us about the immutable nature of human beings. History does not repeat per se, but it provdes the perspective that people always act the same. And history tells me that we are a nation in decline. We are too burdened with debt, no longer comptitively productive, and generally lacking any sense of personal sacrifice or even minimal comptence.
Ouch, sorry to hear that Laz.
We should do lunch some time.
Hey, Laz,
I was wondering why you hadn’t written any editorials lately. Now I understand.
You aren’t the only one. I’ve been depressed, as well.....I think the sadness is because I don’t recognize this country anymore. It’s like November 6 picked us all up and dropped us into an alien nation.
For me, I’m not as bad as I was, but I still can’t shake it altogether. I’m going to pray you get better, as well. Hang in there.....and thank God for FR. It’s an island of sanity.
Love ya
Don’t let the liberal bastards live rent free inside your head, Laz.
Don’t make me do it! Cause I will!
-houeto.
Hope things improve for you. I feel the same way...probably not to the same extent. I have been angry and sad at the same time since the election.
Hang in there, Laz! (((hugs)))
Lazz my boy, what of Rage Monkey? Surely his voice is not also stilled?
I know how you feel, Laz.
It took me a whole month from Nov.6th, to even begin to see improvement in my mourning mode. I still haven’t had a good laugh. We feel the sadness because we understand the gravity of the situation and that it may not ever be able to be turned around and corrected. The vote fraud is what makes me the most angry. I believe this election was stolen by planned vote machine manipulation along with the usual means of dem fraud.
We lived through the first 4 years of hell, and now there’s another crap sandwich with no cheese for the next 4 years.
There are mid-term elections in 2014. It’s a dim light of hope, but it’s there.
We have to retain our Governor Scott Walker that year. If we lose him, Wisconsin is done for.
I have been listening to Christian talk radio since before the election. I find that keeping my mind focused on my faith has been very helpful in raising my head from the desk and looking towards eternity, being grateful that I am saved by Grace. This life will pass quickly and eternity in paradise awaits. That’s what keeps me from ending it all. Faith and faith alone.
I feel ya bro, I have over 6000 unread e-mails.....keep truckin...someone needs you......and me.,..
You’re not the only one. I can’t seem to shake this one off though.
I drop whatever I’m doing -— to read Sowell.
I’m still depressed, too. And angry. The only thing that keeps me going is that more than half the voters DIDN’T go left. Voter fraud was the difference, and WE are still out there. The right needs the gones to expose what happened. What will it take?
