Monday Morning (Noonan: It's Romney)
WSJ ^ | 11/5/2012 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 11/05/2012 12:14:38 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Romney’s crowds are building—28,000 in Morrisville, Pa., last night; 30,000 in West Chester, Ohio, Friday It isn’t only a triumph of advance planning: People came, they got through security and waited for hours in the cold. His rallies look like rallies now, not enactments. In some new way he’s caught his stride. He looks happy and grateful. His closing speech has been positive, future-looking, sweetly patriotic. His closing ads are sharp—the one about what’s going on at the rallies is moving.

All the vibrations are right. A person who is helping him who is not a longtime Romneyite told me, yesterday: “I joined because I was anti Obama—I’m a patriot, I’ll join up But now I am pro-Romney.” Why? “I’ve spent time with him and I care about him and admire him. He’s a genuinely good man.” Looking at the crowds on TV, hearing them chant “Three more days” and “Two more days”—it feels like a lot of Republicans have gone from anti-Obama to pro-Romney.

Something old is roaring back. One of the Romney campaign’s surrogates, who appeared at a rally with him the other night, spoke of the intensity and joy of the crowd “I worked the rope line, people wouldn’t let go of my hand.” It startled him. A former political figure who’s been in Ohio told me this morning something is moving with evangelicals, other church-going Protestants and religious Catholics. He said what’s happening with them is quiet, unreported and spreading: They really want Romney now, they’ll go out and vote, the election has taken on a new importance to them.

There is no denying the Republicans have the passion now, the enthusiasm. The Democrats do not. Independents are breaking for Romney.

Before you buy, say something heartfelt about Romney/Ryan & America. Not pushy, but heart-felt. Every vote is still important & the staff in a store are all potential voters.

One's house should have a basement - infrastructure location but possibly wet - keep stuff down there off the floor and in containers. A battery power pump is a good idea if it doesn't have a natural downhill drain.

First floor - above the flood plain.

Second floor - ultimate sanctuary.

Attic - where one stores the family history.

Providing for yourself and your near neighbors is the history of America.

It's also an excellent way of ensuring your near neighbors' help if any bad element were to decide to try and take those provisions away from you. That's America, too.

[ Without Christie’s abhorrent stunt, this one would be a slam dunk.

I honestly hope he never wins another election as long as he lives. ]

Yep. Republicans should never forgive Christie fo picking Obama up when he was down and down big. Even worse, Christie gave him props he didn’t deserve! Christie should have said that it was too early to judge the federal response, that just using the destruction for a campaign stop wasn’t enough. I despise Chris Christie.

They stop at nothing. They’re nuts.

The first is true, the second not. They are not nuts, only without a moral compass. It is a hard thing for people who have principles to understand, just how far the Left has embraced the idea that the end justifies the means. Whether you are looking at the Jacobins in the 1790s, Marx, the Fabians, Bolsheviks or Nazis, or modern American faux "Liberals," you are dealing with beings to whom the Big Lie, or any other form of conscious deception, is always fair game, if they think that they can get away with it.

While the American Left, unlike the Jacobins, Marxists, etc., may pretend to religious toleration--even to having Faith themselves--be always skeptical. The behavior through the years paints a very, very different picture. Many of them actually despise people of Faith; fear, hate & sometimes even envy them, because such folk have consciences, something utterly alien to the compulsion driven Egalitarian/Collectivists, who rally like robots to monolithic Socialist movements..

“finally it is “Jump on the Bandwagon” Noonon.”

Prissy Peggy sees a future of classy, high-end dinners being held at the White House with a Romney win. She definitely wants to be on the guest list.

I’m getting the music that plays at the end of ‘Return to the Jedi’ after Luke and Anakin Skywalker bring balance to the force and defeat the Emperor and the Evil Empire!

O.K., I get the message. But maybe there are others surfing by, who will remember to speak from the heart to those they encounter this evening.

Cheers.

Probably so. When it comes to water, it would be very difficult to provide for the community, if you’re located in a city. Rotating for yourself is manageable, but you can’t rotate enough for your neighbors too.

Safe haven seems like the way to go. Keep enough around to keep yourself going three to six months, and if things go south, safe haven.

I read your next post. I agree with your comments, but if your home catches fire, you can’t get to your family history.
