Therapy, only thing that keeps my from going “postal”
But I now feel the struggle is lost. America is not America, and I do not think it can be restored. I'm just waiting the Jesus. I figure an economic collapse and a civil war and a tribulation may precede the big event, but my only hope now is in the Second Coming.
Oh snap! I missed it by a year. I still think it's my "fault".
There will be NO extended care for the elderly. In Britian, if you are 70+, you will receive nothing but the hospice, which is next door to the crematorium.
I was born in 64 and I would like to see government rolled back to about 1964 in size, spending, most regulations and overall reach.
My dad was a garbageman when I was born and my birth only cost about a week and a half pay (Less than $100)
I was born in 1947 and I think, oh shoot, what was the question?LOL!
We are in grave danger...I don’t expect to see the Republic survive more than about 20 years, if that!

Secession, hopefully not followed by a Civil War II. But I doubt it. Civil War cometh. Red vs Blue it is inevitable.
1. What is your prescription for this America?
2. What will this nation look like in the year 2030?
3. Why are you a member/user of Free Republic? How does your being here advance your concerns for your nation?
_____________________________________________
1. My prescription for America is Ronald Reagan in large doses followed by a stiff shot of Dick Cheney. However that is not realistic, so my prescription is to pray, live life free and independent, follow one’s faith in moral and honorable ways to the best of one’s ability in order to set an example for one’s children and their children.
2. I have no idea what the country will look like in 2030. But I do believe history has excellent examples, Ancient Rome being the best indicator of a corrupt society. I’ve always held to the precept that this Nation will never fall to another and instead we’ll destroy from within. I think this is being played out right now with the entitlement society rot. How long our demise is anybody’s guess. I pray I’m not around to see it.
3. I’m here on Free Republic because I need to converse and exchange ideas with people who possess common sense, follow political conservatism, and don’t believe that faith, good morals, patriotism, love of family etc... are passé.
Push DC and the ruling class, off into the Atlantic Ocean and start over
What will this nation look like in the year 2030?
Without a reversal of the corruption? The movie Idiocracy comes to mind
Why are you a member/user of Free Republic? How does your being here advance your concerns for your nation?
I find information here, news articles and intelligent opinion that I spread to the younger friends, co-workers, and other like minded individuals, in hopes of educating those low info members of society. IMHO It is a daunting job, but if I were on a sinking boat, rather than doing nothing, I would bail water with a coffee cup until the very end.
Basically I have spent my entire life in the turbulent wake of the 60's generation from when I was ridiculed at 4 YO because I couldn't hula hoop, to the "new celibacy" just as I wanted to become sexually active, lost a great opportunity because of affirmative action PC, and on and on.
So what does this mean to me? It means that by the time I become elderly the entire elder care system will be hopelessly screwed up and I will be caught in its chaotic demise. There is no escaping it except to die young.
My prescription - the proverbial “control-alt-delete” as provided for in Amendment 2 of the Constitution. Nothing else will work at this point IMHO.
The only prescription is a spiritual revival. Without God, the Constitution and Declaration are meaningless.
In 2030, I hope Yeshua Messhiah will be on the throne ruling with a rod of iron with the armies of heaven patrolling the earth.
Then I can sleep with my windows open and doors unlocked. A baby boom never before experienced will be joyfully celebrated and the elderly who have survived the great tribulation will live to be 500 because the Messiah is the Great Healer!
That is my hope and brings a peace that passes understanding, even if I don’t live to see it.
Ping to questions above and to reasons for supporting Free Republic
We went to church (ALC) regularly, was a Cub, Boy and Explorer Scout, played Little League Baseball and grew up hunting and fishing with my Dad and Granddads.
What this country needs is a strong dose of morals. I watched the start of the degeneration on the campus of the University of Wisconsin 1966-1970. As a Lieutenant of the Army National Guard, I also fought three riots on my own campus, including air missions in May of 1970. I saw the start of the path the liberals wanted this country to pass.
I suggest we need to make a damned big deal out of the fact that the bastard bankrolling the big PACs is someone who collaborated with the SS in WWII, turning in his own kind. This is the poster child of the progressive movement. Immorality, dispicability, and treason.
We need to go on the attack and not be ashamed of our beliefs and values. The Progressives have none!

The way this country will be able to get back on track is to turn back to GOD.
My prescription for this America? I can only fix my own life. Understand that relying on government for anything is futile. Avoiding mainstream media = avoiding nausea.
What will this nation look like in the year 2030? By then the radicals of 60s and 70s will be so old that they won’t be able to maintain power. The real problems began when Hillary “Yoko” Clinton took power 20 years ago. She and her husband Elvis basically kicked down all the existing standards of decency, to the delight and applause of our Tiger Beat media. Once the Clintons and the Obamas and let’s face it, the Bushs, shuffle off the stage for good, we can only hope that some charming conservative born in about 1990, who grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh, steps up and takes power. That person is about 23 right now. Let the grooming begin!
Why are you a member/user of Free Republic? I basically have one source for news (Drudge) and one source for opinion, (Free Republic). I check them both probably once an hour.
How does your being here advance your concerns for your nation? Being here doesn’t advance my concerns. I helps me stay sane because I don’t feel so all alone. Many of my peers get their news and opinion from the New York Times and the Daily Show. It’s funny, I think they’re stupid and they think I’m stupid. But anyway, at FR, I find a bunch of like-minded peers.
I was born in 1960 and am a FReeper to keep in touch with fellow conservatives who are few and far between in New York State - even though I live upstate. If it weren’t for FR I would have no other conservatives to talk to except my husband and sister in law.
The solution - term limits for all politicians.

Good question. Thank you.
I am so glad this world is not my home...but I am very sad about this country and the encroachment of the shadow of Mordor. (Evil in the culture)
My prescription? Politicians come and go...our salvation does not come from that direction. Do the right thing. Vote and promote your candidate. But know that the only thing that really changes people is prayer and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I take comfort knowing God is in control...but I am under no illusions here. He was in control during Egyptian, Babylonian, Assyrian and Roman captivity. Pray and trust. His will is perfect.
What is your prescription for this America?
Hit the reset button.
What will this nation look like in the year 2030?
If I make it that long, not good. Probably like Zimbabwe.

Used to be activism. Not so much anymore. Although now, I have a ton of FRiends.
