My daughter is just a few years younger than you and I fear for her future as well.
All we can do tonight is pray that somehow we will make it through this very dark time. And keep fighting for what we believe in and what we know is right.
Well, I’m 41 and I can’t answer that question in my own life.
I can only say this. I do not want to lift a finger to help this country, in any way at all. Yes, there are good people left in it, but I don’t see how it matters any longer.
I am just going to prepare for the collapse. Yes, I’m a crazy prepper now.
We should all become missionaries in Costa Rica
“I’m 27 years old and have nothing going for me.”
Nah. You are uniquely gifted by God.
There is plenty of opportunity out there. You will be taxed. Maybe more.
There is also opportunity in other countries - particularly Asian countries.
Go West young man! Don’t rely on dufus government officials to do anything for you.
Do not despair. . . no man or government can save. Trust in the Lord, he will walk with you no matter where you go.
If you’ve got nothing to tie you down, here’s an option. The maximum age to join the Air Force is 27, for the Navy it’s 34.
Consider joining either branch, and opt for technical training. Learn all you can. Put in 20 years enlisted. Collect the paycheck, then collect the pension.
It’s not the American dream, but nothing is anymore.
Oh, and try to find happiness where you can. In a sunset, in a CD of your favorite songs, in helping others.
They’re loving this thread at DU. Get a grip.

I supposed you could move to Kolob?
You keep up the good fight and realize God is on control. As disappointing as this is, there is a larger purpose at work here. Align yourself with that.
If you can’t pull yourself up in a few days, please seek counseling.
Your happiness and fulfillment in life must not, cannot depend on arrogant, self important people in D.C.
Talk to some good friends, join a Bible study group, and count the blessings you do have. Read some inspirational books. Neil Cavuto has a good one.
You’ll land on your feet. But please get help if you can’t break out of it soon.
Try to live your life. Obama will not rob you of your happiness unless you let him. Try to do the things you want to do, and don’t give up. Life has to go on for all of us.
The end game has already been written and foretold in the bible and truth will win out. But before we get there several things MUST happen first.
Jesus equated the end times coming upon us like “birth pangs” come upon a woman going into labor.
What are “birth pangs”? Painful contractions starting out in longer intervals that grow shorter and stronger.
I see this as one of those pains. They have been getting closer together and stronger.
Another prophecy yet to be fulfilled in a new world order that’ll be led by the anti-christ. It’s not hard to believe that Obama wouldn’t lead us down that road. I actually believe he’s got us well on the way.
I believe that the US of A that you and me love has been a major stumbling block in the plans of the powers that be. We’d be damned if we would willingly accept being governed by any entity outside our elected government.
Stay with me now!
Look at Europe and what’s happened over there. They formed an economic union that has them locked into a system forsaking their sovereignty. Now the whole thing is being held up by ONE country, Germany. It won’t and can’t last forever. Nor can the US continue down the spending spree it’s on and now committed to into the future.
It’s all gonna come crashing down and by design. The powers that be WANT it to crash. It’s the only explanation as to why they ignore the math and continue to spend.
But WHY do they want it to crash?
If things are made so bad and our comforts we’re used to gone that makes things ripe for accepting something that normally wouldn’t.
One man will come out of the fray seeming to have all the answers to all the worlds ill’s and the people will fall for it hook line and sinker. THIS is what can be learned from the election of Barrack Hussien Obama.
BHO, protected by a media that allows him to literally get away with murder. How much more will this antichrist be protected with the full backing of satan himself.
I could continue on with this but it’s getting late and I gotta get up for work in the morning so I can continue giving to the non working moochers.
Bottom line is that there is still hope. Just not in the way your currently looking for it.
God wants Jesus to be your salvation, not some politician.
This country is in the process of being greatly humbled by God for its wickedness. Our prosperity will be taken away because we made an idol out of wealth, our freedom will be taken away because we preferred licentiousness to the real liberty of obedience to God, we will suffer defeat, even our unity as a nation may come to an end. God's chastisement always consists of giving the sinner what he prefers to God, until it either destroys him or he sickens of it and repents. Obama is God's instrument of punishment precisely because so many Americans prefer his snake oil to honest work and moral living.
Through everything that must come to pass, keep your faith in God, not in America or any other nation. There will come a time to pick up the pieces, and there will be pieces left to pick up. And maybe then we can rebuild that shining city on a hill of which President Reagan once spoke so eloquently.
A friend of mine taught me a valuable lesson years ago. He was maybe the poorest person I knew but he was also the happiest. No matter what his situation he always looked at the bright side of life. He always made me feel good when i seen him and that is so important.
I’m very sorry wastedyears. I’m sorry you feel so depressed. I do, too. I’d like to be able to give you a pep talk, but it’s hard. I was so hopeful today, too. Before Obama even got it, my 10 year old told me tonight he wished he could go back in time and stop his parents from ever meeting. He said he wished he hadn’t been born in this time. I’m going to definitely need to give him a pep talk. Now my seven year old is crying...she just heard Obama was re-elected. I told her we will be okay—we will survive. She said she’s going to put up a lemonade stand every day:) Then she realized it was winter and she said “warm lemonade”, then she changed it to hot cocoa. Steely Tom has some positive words on this thread. I like that. We need to support each other. You are lucky to have your parents and they are lucky to have you. If you need moral support or commiseration, don’t be afraid to ask for it here and in your personal life. You can gain strength from people like Steely Tom and others who have been there and done that. Be well FRiend. I wish that for you and me and all good FReepers. I’m so thankful for this forum.
I feel your pain...I feel like the humility my ancestry felt enduring Reconstruction
but just the title of your thread made me chuckle
trust me..there is somewhere off the grid on this big old planet without all this crap..i was happy as an expat once...now i will likely do like most like us...self segregate to our places...rural mostly
but our country is lost to the weak and bitter for now and it hurts
thanks though ...I laughed out loud...but i know you weren’t trying to be funny
I’m 55 with 5 children and struggling business etc...and I’m scared too...but not at risk about what to do with my life
but i will never give up and you can’t either
we are outnumbered by demographics...we are going to have to find some way to turn either some Mexicans or White Northern liberals
those are the only two options
I will be curious to see how the white vote compares to 2008 and 2010
I had figured if we replicated 2010 we’d win...62%
you’re too young but we used to win nationals with 52-54% white vote totals
this ain’t 1980 anymore
we opened the door and let them in
the GOP committed suicide and we warned em...big fights over it here...and nobody listened...called us bigots...banned us even
but the primary culprit here is the latino vote and that implication in Florida, California, New Mexico and Colorado and Nevada
and guess what....Texas will be at risk soon enough...imagine that?
now we are stuck with them..if most Mexican women were prettier we could just marry em up...for the cause..but whew
I could say so much, I could relate so much. I wrote a song called Greek Columns In Ruins that I would like to see performed by an act able to spread it to a wider audience. I don’t see strangling people with bigger bureaucracies as a solution to our problems, nor can I say that my situation in life has improved over the past four years.
I work at Best Buy, been doing that for four years. I’ve watched the cutting of hours and removal of fulltime positions, and I think that it has something to do with Obama. I see many of my co-workers bragging about voting for Obama on their Facebook pages without any discussion about Libya. I think that anybody who gets laid off because of Obamacare coming in, should tell their co-workers(before they leave) about what they’ve done. I may not, but I feel an urge that if the effects continue I will speak up to the Obamaphiles at work.
I’ve been trying to go to school to become a Radio DJ. I get indoctrinated by a professor who repeats every Left-Wing talking point and shows us Left-Wing videos. I’ve been trying to get my songs published in a world where what I write is too dated, too “old” for the people that I submit the songs to and I just don’t give up. Even my newest one may sound too dated. Don’t give up.
In the end, even if Obama wins it is not like the Obamaphiles won’t feel the effects of what voting for their idol did for them. He may even get impeached because of Benghazi. I haven’t talked a lot, here, as I don’t feel like I can always say something effectively enough or good enough to sound like I am contributing something useful. Whether I wanted to or not, I had to do this.
