Free Republic

“A Gallup survey registered the GOP’s lowest approval rating ever in the poll’s history, while a few polls during the fight have actually showed Obama’s approval ratings climbing, largely because of support from within his own party.”

This poll is being used a relentless talking point, but it misses what is gong on. The is not mad at Cruz. The base is sick of the GOPe!

A Suggested Survival List
By Chuck Baldwin
July 18, 2013

This column is archived here.

I submit several mini-columns each week to my Facebook page. I also post announcements regarding my speaking engagements and try to keep readers informed on things related to what I’m doing. I invite readers to “Like” my Facebook page and keep up with my work. To “Like” my Facebook page, go to:
Chuck Baldwin’s Official Facebook Page

Please note that I NEVER send friend requests on Facebook, so if you get such a request, it is from an imposter.
On a recent Facebook post, I noted that it is an absolute certainty that things cannot continue the way they are going for a whole lot longer. I believe we are no more than 8-10 years away from a nuclear war with China and Russia. By the way, I, once again encourage readers to watch the CBS TV series “Jericho” (get the DVDs or watch it on Netflix) to get an idea of how quickly life, and even civilization, would change in such a scenario.

Furthermore, America’s economic outlook is bleak, the current phony surge in the stock market notwithstanding. For all intents and purposes, the US is bankrupt. We are living on borrowed money and on borrowed time. Every honest economist knows this is true and is making personal preparations for the inevitable.
In addition, can one imagine if there was any kind of national emergency? Have we forgotten the Los Angeles riots and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina? Can one imagine what life would be like if the distribution of Welfare checks suddenly stopped, or if food could no longer be found in grocery stores, or if gas stations were out of gasoline?

Yes, I know that the vast majority of pastors and churches refuse to deal with any of these issues and do their best to keep people comfortably sedated. I also know that when you try to discuss these issues with church leaders, you hear such things as “This is America—it can’t happen here,” or “God won’t let that happen,” or “The Rapture will take place first,” and other such expressions of denial. Yet, I remind readers that the Old Testament story of Joseph was written “for our learning.” (Rom. 15:4 KJV) I also remind readers that the tribulations, which American Christians keep saying can’t happen to them, have been happening to Christians throughout the world for decades. I guess God must not love those poor folks as much as He loves us fat, lazy Christians in America, huh?
Yet, the reality is God has already begun moving upon the hearts of His people regarding preparing for the “seven years of famine.” I would even dare say that God is NOW relocating His people in a way that hasn’t been seen since the Pilgrims fled Europe for the new world in America. I know, because I see it every day here in Montana; and this State is not the only place experiencing a surge of pilgrims.

For a few years now, people from virtually every walk of life have asked my thoughts on how they should prepare. Therefore, I will, again, attempt to share with my readers some of the counsel I have given these folks.
First, a disclaimer. I am not an economist; I am not a survival expert; I am not a firearms expert; I am not an attorney; I am not a physician. In fact, I am not an expert in anything! For several years, however, I have tried to learn from others. I am an avid reader. My work has allowed me to travel extensively. In fact, I have logged almost 200,000 miles crisscrossing this great country over the last few years. I have had the privilege of sitting at the feet of—and learning from—many of America’s most learned, most trained, and most qualified experts in a variety of fields. What I write today, I have learned from others. I’ve formed my own opinions and priorities, of course, but everything I’m sharing has been said, or written about, before. But if I can share something in today’s column that will help someone be better prepared for the days to come, then my goal will have been achieved.

Location:
Analyze your living conditions. Where do you live? Do you live in an urban or rural environment? Is it a big city or small town? Do you live in an apartment or condominium? How close are your neighbors? Do you even know your neighbors? Would you trust them if the electricity was off and they were hungry? How easily could you secure your home? If you live in a cold weather environment, how long could you stay warm without electricity? These are the kinds of questions you need to ask yourself now.

Over the past several decades, masses of people have migrated into large metropolitan areas. More people currently live in urban areas than at any time in American history. While this may be well and good for times of prosperity, it is an absolute nightmare during any kind of disaster. Needless to say, any inner-city environment could become a powder keg almost instantaneously given the right (or wrong) circumstances. And the bigger the city, the bigger the potential problems.
Plus, if you live downwind of a major military installation during a nuclear attack, you are in an extremely jeopardous situation. And, no, don’t fool yourself: not every area of the country is as vulnerable to fallout during a nuclear attack. I strongly encourage readers to purchase Joel Skousen’s excellent book on strategic relocation to see an in-depth, analytical review of nuclear target and fallout areas. Go here:

Strategic Relocation
If you live in the inner city, I suggest you consider moving to a more rural location. If you can afford it, now is a great time to buy a “safe house” outside the city. If you are fortunate enough to have family or some trusted friends nearby, you may want to put your heads—and some resources—together in preparation for serious upheaval. Obviously, a team of prepared people is much better than being alone.

If you must stay in your urban location, have some common sense plans in hand in the event of a major disaster. Get to know your neighbors: find out whom you can trust and whom you can’t. Keep some extra gasoline on hand, in case you need to get in your car quickly and leave. Have several exit routes planned ahead of time in case roads are blocked. Have a “bug-out” bag containing essential ingredients to live on for three or four days. If leaving is not an option, have a plan to secure your home as best you can. You’ll need to think about things such as food, water, medicine, warmth, self-defense, etc. But at this point, to do nothing is absolute lunacy!
Most readers probably know that my entire family and I made the decision back in 2010 to move 2,600 miles from our home of 35 years in the Florida panhandle to the Flathead Valley of Montana, which is located about 75 miles south of the Canadian border in the Rocky Mountains. And I can tell readers without equivocation or hesitation that we are so glad we made this move. For me personally, I absolutely love it here.

If readers want to learn more about what prompted our move to Montana, please peruse the information on this web page:
Baldwins’ Move To Montana

Just a word of caution at this point: making a move to a rural State such as Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska, etc., is not for the faint-hearted. I would be dishonest if I told you that such a move is easy. It is not. It is extremely difficult and challenging. If you are not absolutely serious about such a move—and prepared to deal with the hardships that will certainly follow—don’t even think about it. And if you are squeamish about cold weather, don’t even think about it. Such a move is not only a change of location; it is a change of lifestyle. If you’re not prepared for that, don’t even think about it.
Provisions:

During a major disaster, food will quickly disappear. Living for over three decades on the Gulf Coast, I can tell you with absolute certainty that whenever disaster strikes (usually an approaching hurricane, for those folks), food and provisions at the store completely sell out in a matter of a few hours. People panic, and within hours, you cannot find food, bottled water, ice, generators, batteries, candles, etc. In a matter of hours, every gas station in the area will be completely out of gas. Not days. Hours!
Furthermore, almost all disasters include a complete loss of electricity. The water supply is also compromised. At that point, clean water will become absolutely priceless. Dehydration becomes a very real and present danger. I remember witnessing a man offer an ice vendor $100 for an extra bag of ice after Hurricane Ivan. My wife and I went 14 days without electricity in the aftermath of that hurricane. Believe me, I got a taste of just how precious bottled water, ice, batteries, generators, fuel, etc., can become.

I suggest you have a supply of food and water to last at least three months. Many survival experts insist that a six-month supply is the minimum. Personally, I can live a long time on tuna fish or peanut butter. You can purchase MREs from a variety of sources, as well as camp-style packaged food from many sporting goods stores. Of course, bottled water is available everywhere during normal times. Stock up! Distilled water will store longer than spring water. Plus, I suggest you have some water purification tablets or a Katadyn water filter on hand. And, if you are able, prepare to grow your own food. In cold weather climates such as we have here in Montana, people quickly learn how to construct and utilize greenhouses in which to grow food. Canning food is another very helpful hedge against deprivation. If your parents and grandparents were like mine, this was standard operating procedure.
Get a generator. Keep a supply of fuel on hand. Stay stocked up on batteries, candles, portable lights, first aid supplies, and toiletries—especially toilet paper and toothpaste. I also suggest you never run out of lighters or matches. You never know when you’ll need to build a fire. If you live in a cold weather climate, you probably already have some sort of wood stove or fireplace. And don’t overlook the necessity of a good knife.

Obviously, you need to take stock of your clothing. Do you have clothes suitable for extended outdoor activity? What about boots? During a disaster, you would trade your best suit from Neiman Marcus for a good pair of boots. Do you have gloves? Insulated underwear? What about camouflage clothing? These could become essential outerwear in the right conditions. Plus, any “bug-out” bag will need to include spare clothing. And as most folks here in Montana know, “cotton kills.” For extended outdoor wear in cold weather, wool is the only way to go.
Communication and medical provisions are also a high priority in any kind of emergency. How will you communicate with your loved ones when the phones (including cell phones) go down? Portable ham radios are a very valuable resource. But the time to buy (and train to use) one is NOW! A preordained rally point (or safe house) might be something to think about. And what about medical supplies? Do you have enough medical supplies to take care of routine (and not-so-routine) emergencies? What about your prescription drugs? How long could you function if you were cut off from your druggist for any length of time? Also, seriously consider learning about natural, herbal medicines. Those plants growing in your “back forty” might just cure a headache, stop bleeding, or even save your life. Think about it now.

And one more suggestion, while we’re on this subject: the best resources in the world are of little use if one is physically incapable of making good use of them. In other words, GET IN SHAPE. During any kind of emergency situation, physical exertion and stamina become immensely important.
Commodities:

I suggest you have at least some cash on hand. Just about any and all disasters will result in banks being closed for extended periods of time. That also means credit card purchases being suspended. You need to have enough cash to be able to purchase essential goods (if they are even available) for an undetermined amount of time.
Of course, some survival gurus insist that during any cataclysmic climate, precious metals will become the only reliable currency. A little gold and silver could go a long way in a prolonged emergency. And right now is a great time to buy gold and silver. Current spot prices are extremely deflated and won’t stay this low long.

In fact, in a disaster, what is considered a valuable commodity can change rather quickly, as the barter system takes a life of its own. What is valuable is determined by what you need and how badly you need it. In a prolonged disaster, simple things such as toilet paper, canned goods, ammunition, and clothing could become extremely valuable; while cars, video games, televisions, etc., could be reduced to junk status. In antiquity, wars were fought over things such as salt. You might be surprised to learn that there are already active barter groups in your area. I suggest you establish a relationship with these people now!
Speaking of cars, remember that during a prolonged national emergency that might involve some sort of nuclear attack or widespread civil unrest, an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) might be employed; in which case, most every late model vehicle would be completely inoperable. Accordingly, if one can keep an older, pre-computer-age vehicle in good working order, he or she might be driving the only non-government vehicle capable of going anywhere. Of course, you might not want to drive it to town, if that is the case.

Self-Defense:
Needless to say, during any kind of disaster, your safety and protection will be completely up to you. If you really think that the police are going to be able to protect you during an upheaval, you are living in a dream world.

In both the New Orleans and Los Angeles disasters, police protection was non-existent. Lawless gangs quickly took control of the streets, and people were left to either defend themselves or swiftly become the helpless prey of violent marauders. In fact, in New Orleans, some of the policemen actually abandoned their oaths to uphold the law and joined with the criminals, turning their weapons against the public.
Face it, folks: in any kind of disaster, you must be able to defend yourself or you and your family will be meat for these animals of society that will quickly descend without mercy upon the unprepared, unsuspecting souls around them. This requires that you be armed! It also requires that you be skilled enough to be able to efficiently use your arms. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you purchase firearms sufficient to keep you and your family safe, and also that you practice sufficiently to know how to use them.

Now, when it comes to a discussion of which firearms are preferable for self-defense, the suggestions are as varied as the people who proffer them. These are my suggestions:
I believe every man (along with his wife and children of adequate age) should be proficient with the following weapons: a handgun in .38 caliber or above, a .22 rifle, a center-fire bolt-action hunting rifle, a semi-automatic battle rifle, and a shotgun.

My personal preference for a self-defense handgun is either a .45 ACP 1911 (Colt, Kimber, or Springfield Armory are preferred) or a .45 ACP Glock. I am also a fan of Glock in .40 S&W caliber. In the .40 caliber, my favorite is a Glock 22 or 23. In the 1911, I like the Commander-size configuration. I prefer either the Model 21 or the Model 30 in the Glock .45. And I will also admit to sometimes carrying a 9mm Glock 19 or a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver. My two favorites in this caliber are the Model 66 with a 2 ½-inch barrel and the Model 586 with a 4-inch barrel. My wife prefers to carry a Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver in the snub-nose, J-frame configuration. But this is primarily due to the reduced weight of these weapons for carry purposes. If needed, she could make a good accounting of herself with the Glock 19 or Glock 23.
If you are someone who has never owned and seldom fired a handgun, I recommend you buy a Glock. They are as simple as revolvers to operate, reliable, and almost indestructible. Plus, they provide increased magazine capacity, and are safe. They are also very easy to disassemble and clean. And, yes, I will admit that for some people a revolver might be the preferred handgun. It has no external magazine to worry about losing; it is very dependable and reliable; it is easy to clean; and it is simple to operate. In a revolver, my suggestion would be either Smith and Wesson or Ruger.

Of course, in dangerous game territory, you will need the power of a 10mm (the Glock 20 shines here), .45 Long Colt, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, or even a .454 Casull. These calibers are not for the limp-wristed, but when one is facing a brown bear, it is what one will need to survive. Plus, when your life is on the line, you’ll never feel the recoil.
For a .22 rifle, I really like the Ruger 10/22. A Marlin tube-fed .22 is also very effective. The CZ bolt-action .22 just might be the most accurate factory .22 on the market. For a hunting rifle, my suggestion is either a .270 or .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle. I prefer the Remington Model 700 BDL or Browning X-Bolt, but there are several fine weapons in this configuration and caliber by numerous manufacturers. In dangerous game territory, a Marlin .45-70 could be a lifesaver. For a battle rifle, I suggest an AR-15-style weapon in .223 caliber or a .308 Springfield M1A. For a shotgun, I suggest a 12-gauge pump. Here I prefer a Winchester Model 1300, which is not made anymore. So, you’ll probably have to choose between Mossberg and Remington. For ladies, however, a 20-gauge shotgun is probably a better choice, and at “bad breath” range (where a shotgun shines, anyway), it is just as lethal.

Whatever you choose, practice with it to the point that you are able to use it proficiently. And be sure you stock up on ammunition (of course, if you haven’t already done this, good luck). A gun without ammo is reduced to being either an expensive club or a cumbersome paperweight.
Go to your local independent sporting goods store (I don’t recommend the large national chain stores to do your firearms shopping) and get to know your hometown firearms dealer. Most of these people are kind and helpful folks who will be more than happy to assist you in finding exactly what type of firearm is suitable for you and your family.

Spiritual Power:
I firmly believe that man is created to have fellowship with his Creator-God. I really don’t know how people can face an uncertain future without the spiritual knowledge, wisdom, comfort, and power that is made available through Jesus Christ. I believe the maxim is true: “Wise men still seek Him.” I strongly suggest that you seek to possess a personal relationship with God’s only begotten Son. In truth, spiritual preparation is far and away the most important preparation of all. Accordingly, be sure to pack a copy of God’s Word in your survival gear.

And if you have not been able to find a local church where the pastor isn’t afraid to deal with the kind of issues like I am dealing with in this column, I invite you to worship online with us at Liberty Fellowship. People all over America who are tired of these 501c3, establishment churches—that have no clue as to what is going on and who wouldn’t take a stand if they did—are tuning in to hear my messages at Liberty Fellowship every Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm Mountain Time. To tune in this Sunday, go to:

That we are facing challenging days is a certainty. Exactly what that means is yet to be determined. I trust that some of my suggestions will help you be better prepared for what lies before us. Plus, here is an excellent website chock-full of great suggestions and resources for all things survival. Check it out:
Survival Blog

I am sure that I have left out several items that others more qualified than I would include. I welcome their suggestions, as I am always desirous to learn from those who are wiser and more experienced. In the meantime, remember your Boy Scout motto: “Be Prepared.”

Me thinks Limpsey knows his political days are numbered. My fear is what he might do with out the restraint of having to lie to his constituents.

Bet the owner of the safe gets sued.

Smart dad. Mine sold out in ‘82. Always said it was chicken one week, feathers the next.

Yeah well, our guys are being taught zero intolerance for violence. Those little muzzies are being taught to strap on bombs, and kill infidels......someday they will meet.

“He has autism. He has an official diagnosis. They know that he communicates differently. It’s obvious when you communicate with him that he doesn’t speak the same way and communicate and think the same way as typical children,” the frustrated mother said.

I feel for her, but this suspension would be sheer lunacy if her son didn't have autism, too.

God forbid some poor kid in art class doesn't draw an apple or a pumpkin just right.

Thank you!!! Folks Freep this online poll big time!!! I know online polls are fuzzy at best....but a big bang in favor of Steve Lonegan can be helpful a bit, at least!!! Do it!!!!

NEW JERSEY....you can stun the entire world tonight by having Steve Lonegan defeat Flim/Flam, Con Man, low life Obamabot....Cory “the criminal, thug” Booker!!! Do it!!!

Go New Jersey, the “crossroad” state of the American Revolution!!! Remember...Monmouth....remember Trenton!!! When the despair of defeat was right at hand...General George Washington, crossed over the Delaware river, landing on the New Jersey shoreline and marched his troops through freezing weather and snow fall, some militia...with no shoes on....to surprise attack the British and Hessians bedded down in Trenton...and history records the massive victory of the American regulars & militia that changed the course of the Revolutionary war!!!

New Jersey....do it again this evening...elect Steve Lonegan as your next US Senator and change the course of American history forever. Bring Freedom, Liberty and Opportunity back to America today!!! Vote for STEVE LONEGAN!!

If I go to Wal-Mart and write a check for merchandise and I don’t have the money in my account, Wal-Mart will not only require me to pay for the merchandise in cash, but will charge me an extra fee for their trouble. How is this any different? Wal-Mart has the information for the ‘customers’ via use of their card. When will they be contacting them requesting reimbursement? If not, why the heck not?

They want to create a crises and then become the solution, a perfect trap for the sheeple and uninformed.

The best line I saw (on Twitter) was that people should be offended by “Washington Redskins” because it contains the word “Washington.”

Several years back, Galveston Texas hosted a spring break party for Obama type college students. The local Wal Mart closed down and installed their hurricane shutters. After the chilren left the island, the store reopened. The store manager made no apologies stating that he wanted to prevent shoplifting/looting and protect his employees.
Bet there are a lot of stores who take ebt are thinking this about now.

The article has a lot to say, go to the link, it’s pretty good.

And the point of the thread I linked is that most Freepers gain knowledge from a variety of methods and personally have varying degrees of confidence based on the methods for gaining knowledge.

Precious few Freepers exclude theological knowledge whether by direct or indirect revelation. Interestingly, the false dichotomy you claim only recognizes indirect theological knowledge.

In science the coin of the realm is empirical evidence.

Theologcial knowlege may be useful in telling you where to look for that evidence, and what kind of evidence you're looking for. It's still up to you to find and present that evidence.

Bringing complaints of "heresy" into it appears to simply be an attempt to dictate what theological knowlege is allowed, and by extension what empirical evidence may or may not be admitted.

That is not an agreeable proposition.

Come on, NJ. Today’s the day. Stand up and fight for your freedom.

Or you can take the razor that is Booker, open a vein and bleed out into the warm bath that is Obama’s socialism.

I’d sue.And sue...and sue...and sue again.

This is really not new news. I give as evidence the following question and answer:

Question: Who is most popular Sunday Talk Show guest in the History of the World. Make that the History of the Universe.

Answer: John McCain.

I rest my case.

It is good that Protestants attempt to understand the lives of Catholic saints; perhaps one day they will convert and be saved. Let us not judge this stupid article harshly.

...if you would purchase this treasure of which we are speaking, God would have you keep back nothing from Him, little or great. He will have it all; in proportion to what you know you have given will your reward be great or small. There is no more certain sign whether or not we have reached the prayer of union. Do not imagine that this state of prayer is, like the one preceding it, a sort of drowsiness (I call it 'drowsiness' because the soul seems to slumber, being neither quite asleep nor wholly awake). In the prayer of union the soul is asleep, fast asleep, as regards the world and itself: in fact, during the short time this state lasts it is deprived of all feeling whatever, being unable to think on any subject, even if it wished. No effort is needed here to suspend the thoughts: if the soul can love it knows not how, nor whom it loves, nor what it desires. In fact, it has died entirely to this world, to live more truly than ever in God. This is a delicious death, for the soul is deprived of the faculties it exercised while in the body: 6 delicious because, (although not really the case), it seems to have left its mortal covering to abide more entirely in God. So completely does this take place, that I know not whether the body retains sufficient life to continue breathing; on consideration, I believe it does not; at any rate, if it still breathes, it does so unconsciously.

The Interior Castle, THE FIFTH MANSIONS

I think Christie wants Booker to win.

Richards was crawling through a window at the home, when a family member told him to leave. When he didn't, the family member shot him.

Simple, really.

It must be very decent money indeed, if you can hope to cope with property taxes in Nutley. Owwwwww!

And without a landlord, you have to do your own plumbing repairs.

Get married, be fruitful, and best of luck to you. Sounds like you’re moving in the right direction, especially if you started out in MA :)

Me, I’d hop on 80 and not stop ‘til I reached Hazleton PA!

The horrible irony is that, whatever happens now, less people will be insured and a lot of those who are will be brought to the edge of poverty by either buying something they can't afford or paying a penalty for not doing so.

The best I can tell is that the cost of everything at least doubles under ACA for healthy people. So someone that has a gold or platinum plan now will only be able to afford the bronze plan com the first of the year. I fiddled with a few numbers for my zip code. Even people that are eligible for a bit of subsidy under ACA will still be paying more in premiums than if they bought coverage in 2013..

The earth is mundane?

The right decision no matter the breed of the dog, but especially one that is traditionally associated with fight training that makes them vicious.

fficials at Cabell Huntington Hospital say Keith Richards

Mick Jagger must be devastated.

Question for you NJ Freepers, to what extent did Christie support Lonegan during the campaign, was he actively involved in terms of campaign appearances, speeches, endorsements, etc?

We thought we'd just window shop, but for some reason there isn't a way to just look without signing in.

Obama doesn't WANT you to "window shop" because you'll see he was lying about it being more affordable.

I think it is more Christians than simply conservatives.

And the IRS won’t stop at taking fines just related to 0bamacare either. Didn’t file your taxes last year? No problem. We’ll just save you the trouble and take them ourselves, along with the P & I.

Yes there is forgiveness but there are also consequences. It is best if both happen?

We’ll know more by tomorrow, since Oct 17 is one of the nominally important dates.

It’s not really about what “must” happen, it’s about what Obama decides to do.

If he wants our cities to burn, in order to seize power, he’ll find an excuse to cut off the EBT.

And blame it all on the Evil White Racist GOP, and the arch-villains of the Most Evil Tea Party.

I'll see you, and Raise,

Happ was the first person to be executed under a new mix of drugs Florida is using for lethal injections. It appeared Happ remained conscious longer and made more body movements after losing consciousness than other people executed recently by lethal injection under the old formula.

That's 10 years of federal appeals right there.Didn't SCOTUS just approve of the particular execution protocol of a particular state? Kentucky's I think it was.If I'm correct what doesn't every other state adopt the same protocol,word for word.

Since the terms, “journalist” and “reporter” are rapidly becoming perjorative, how long will it be until someone is offended by being labeled with them?

I’m sick and tired of all this political correctness bull-costa.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth by progressives of the MSM and blogosphere. Tears that are so delicious are still bitter as these MSM cretinous traitors continue to hold back the truth about the so called President.

"Bear"

Bear with a gun

I imagine 30 or 40 affirmative actione hires sitting around doing absolutely nothing because they know absolutely nothing and were hired simply because of the color of their skin.

Thats why most government agencies don’t work, anyway.

I’m just amazed anyone in CA actually had a firearm and ammunition. How long did it take them to unlock it, unlock the ammo, load it, call for permission to fire, etc.?

My proposal for Immigration Reform would consist on one word until the Border was properly secured...

NONE

Enough with the Negrophobia already. Didn’t you see that photo of the crowd at the Louisiana WalMart? At least 40% of them were white. And fat.

David Axelrod surprisingly speaks a truth. Ping to Today show list.

Bill Bennett recites over and over again the establishment line that solution is not to attempt to defund Obamacare but to elect Republicans to the Senate. In fact, he asks rhetorically where would we be if only we had a Republican Senate?

The answer is clear: We would have prescription drug entitlements, deficits as far as the eye could see, wars mismanaged and ill-conceived, and the contempt of the electorate. That's what we get when we have a (Rino) Republican Senate as we did under George Bush.

We need a conservative Senate.

Here is the deal. A significant percentage of us are willing to burn this mother to the ground. ALL of it... It has become that corrupt, that cancerous, that dangerous to our freedom. Our numbers grow every day, as can be observed in a growing number of OUR kind being elected to positions in government. Our goal isnt to elect people who want to use government to “make our lives better”, we elect people who will STOP government from making our lives worse, AND who will actively work to burn down the infrastructure the socialists have built. NOTHING gets done if it doesn’t benefit that goal. While we dont yet have the numbers to guarantee success, we will...

Our goal isnt to lessen the pain, or make things a little better. We want those who mean to enslave us to the collective RUINED! We want it ALL! We wont settle for anything less than freedom from the tyranny of socialists and statists. This IS a revolution. DO NOT MISTAKE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE! I am no longer faithful to this country, because this country is no longer faithful to me. One day we WILL burn down what the collectivists corrupted. Then we can rebuild.

“But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations...

...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.” - John Adams February 13, 1818

I hope he found Jesus.

Thanks for the confirmation Walking Feather, I moved to Texas and it was horrible. I went there to care for my dad. I left as soon as I could!!

"hitting the unnamed suspect three times. "

The Intruder was apparently not carrying a name, but likely had at least two arms.....

“Connor is perfectly suited to attack Graham on perhaps his most glaring vulnerability – the lies he told about his military service during the early stages of his political career,” we wrote recently.

Graham's most glaring vulnerability is his position on issues important to conservatives. If Connor can't battle him on those then step back and let the other two conservative candidates do it.
