ChiComs coordinating strategy with The Won. Why am I not surprised?
Dang it would have to happen during the winter.
Just mention that you’re a FReeper and you’ll get front of the line privileges. :-(
I thought more about it, and I think you should consider developing this character much more, and make it into a full book.
All of what you laid out here is highly, highly plausible.
And I think you should by all means keep the main character as you have, i.e., a liberal who’d really gone all-in for Obama and his whole agenda.
Maybe not stupid, per se, but....well, you know better than me.
Anyway if you sell this thang I’m DEFINITELY going to buy it. It would later be seen as prescient.
Fo sho!
Maybe under a pseudonym? This stuff is gold.
Well done and well written Laz!
Ever wonder what it was like to be a righteous German living in 1936?
Guess what.
That's when the shooting should start.
As colonists we had no written Constitution, so waited until they came for the arms, 3 cannons, 2 of which are still around, powder, ball and other stores belonging to the militia. I'd post a picture of one of the cannon, but the Battle Road National Historical Park website is down. Although the DOI propaganda page, with message from Obama, is working fine.
Now we have written rules for the government to abide by. When they openly and clearly violate those rules, they become domestic enemies of the Constitution, who we are obligated to resist by all means necessary. ("Support and DEFEND" as the Oath puts it)
I read it in the 80s I think, but since I've read a lot of Heinlien starting in the late 50s or early 60s, when I was in elementary school, I can't be sure.
But after reading of it on this thread, I downloaded it to my Kindle and am re-reading now. Never fear I have a hard copy as well.
They call someone who is one step ahead of the crowd a genius.
Those who are 2 or 3 steps ahead of the crowd are called lunatics.
Or it was a gift from a loved but conservative Grandfather?
Thanks.
An aside to Matt: Yes, it may be awfully late in the game for a novel, but... if things work out better than we expect, maybe I should develop a character, a moderate-liberal who gets educated. Liberals might be able to relate better, they might continue reading where they wouldn't if the character was conservative.
We’re in the same place, Rip.
I think a lot of us oldsters have just stopped fretting and gone to keepin’ on.
You definitely need to develop this further.
I am looking forward to installment two.
Yes the idea of a typical liberal discovering
what he has brought about would be an effective
way to educate someone.
Keep up the good work.
Obamites in the wire!
And some of us are looking at it like we've got nothing left to lose, but a lot to leave behind. If my life is but just a few years left and my country needs... me...
Yeah... I got that in me.

I agree. For one, as you said, maybe some liberals would relate more, and find that it is OKAY to in mid life find they've been wrong all along - to admit it, and to join the right side! (Instead of sticking to it from sheer pride and stubbornness). That is not "giving in", it's finding sanity!.... Also, just to see that progression in thought (from rainbow and pixie dust liberal to reality) is very hopeful to me, that maybe there is a small but significant number of moderate liberals who might "see the light" when all of this horribleness smacks them in the face. Maybe it will be too late, but maybe not. Stories and books like yours and Matt's have changed the heart of a nation before now. People need to be shaken out of their sports and reality TV coma....
Little barry bastard boy-king said 'we' (he meant his thuggery democrips) need a well armed force equal to the military. Well, they are building that force one incident at a time all around Amerika. And the republicants are too impotent to impeach h and remove the sonofabitch. So we watch as it spirals downward by design!
Laz, am going to agree with others here. You are on to something important. I too encourage you to develop the character of Part 1. I too am looking forward to Part 2! Sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword.
When WROL arrives, my goal is to send for six as many of the ferals as I can take out before they get to me. At 68 and disabled, they will get me. But it will be costly ...
Personally, I’d go the .99 cent serial Kindle route. Check out the writer’s café on kindleboardsdotcom to stay up with the latest strategies.
