If you have the money stock up and don’t wait much longer. Most Americans cannot even envision standing in lines for 3 hours to buy 2 loaves of rationed bread. Meat maybe once a week if lucky and standing in line for that too. Grocery stores with mostly empty shelves. Fresh eggs and milk good luck. Thats what will happen if we have a catastrophic collapse which seems likely. If you live in the city its going to be dammed unpleasant.

Hmmm.

Maybe “faith” shouldn’t have been placed in the Golden Cow to begin with...

Novus? Nah.

Meet the new Boss - same as the Old Ba’al

Nothing “novus” about dat. Fogedaboudit. Just bidness as usual.. again.

Yep.   OTOH...

The lovely, defiant, lady in the middle was my Great grandmother.  

She was the daughter of a Volga-Russian/American blacksmith who got tired of the Bolsheviks and Czarists taking turns burning down the village, packed up his tools in a wheelbarrow... and his family onto a cattle-boat headed for the Statue of Liberty.

She remembered - and what she remembered, she taught.

Suffice it to say that being a defiant survivor is a family tradition.

For the 2008 presidential election, I, and so many others did all we could to get a pro-life conservative in the White House, and as we know, just the opposite happened.

While I always have prayed, and go to Church, I realize we have to PRAY TO GOD more than ever for good political leaders, so I make sure to add that to my daily prayers, as well as do what little I can to attain that goal.

“Problem. Who can the Tea Party vote for? The GOP? Yhey are partners in the crime.”

The Tea Party replaced the liberal Republicans with many conservatives in the primaries.

Tea Partiers are sophisticated, and realized that a 3rd party gave us politicians like Clinton.

I believe the next major election will give us even more conservatives - way more, and hopefully a pro-life conservative POTUS!

“However, it’s *our* generation who might be forced to pay the price through non-existent or worthless Social Security and other government benefits.

We may very well end up paying for our own party - which would be justice at its finest.”

Don’t blame me, though, I’ve done my share to advance conservatism. :)

Too bad the innocent must sometimes suffer with the guilty.

But conservatives will probably be better off, because we are preparing for the worst, and not depending on Big Government to help us out.

“Well, visible cameras.”

For those who can’t afford a real camera, they sell fake camera props which could be a deterrent.

"Farm dogs do what needs to be done."

I hear ya. Shepherd/malamute mixes are good for that in my area. Other kinds of dogs freeze to death around here. Any dogs that run cattle without being told to, and dogs that look dangerous to people are shot on sight (open range, cowboys, and all of that). There are also the large predators (bear, mountain lions, etc.), visibility for extreme distances and regular high winds, so firearms are generally different from those in lowlands. Seven to nine months of winter, expansive unpopulated areas and quick heat exhaustion during the short summer. ...and few services that are far apart, high altitudes that render folks from lower places breathless while only walking, and so on.

My point is that different environments and climates will require different considerations. Even rural populations are thicker in the East, Midwest and around the coasts relative to some places in the West.

Absolutely.

All here who have not...should read "Patriots" by James Wesley Rawles. Sobering.

Even if you think you are...you are not prepared.
