I haven't posted for a while because I didn't have anything worth saying. But now there is this...
On Monday, April 5, 2010, I went to the courthouse and changed my voter registration.
Back in time a bit...
In 1974, about a week after my 18th birthday, I registered as a democrat. It was always the party of my family, and the union I belonged to always supported the democrats, so I always felt I was doing the right thing. And, in a way, I was. In all those years, I only missed one small city voting opportunity. That was because all concerned were losers. I have never missed a major election, and I hope to keep it that way.
Back to now...
Anyone with their eyes open can see the major changes in the party. They no longer try to represent the average person. They only focus on minorities. They want a socialized system where the upper incomes are reduced to raise up the lower incomes.
In my house, looking at my personal budget, I cannot spend more money to get my debts paid off. That would only worsen my finances. Doesn't this scale up to equal the same situation in a national scale? Or am I expected to be so stupid as to not know the big secrets that they are privvy to? Some hidden, amazing thing we are expected to believe in? Why do they think we are stupid? What gives them the right to plow over the wishes of the majority of Americans?
Somehow, over the past 15 years or so, both major parties have become extreme. In an attempt to out-extreme each other, they have become either ultra conservative, or ultra liberal. I personally am neither of these.
Am I happy with my new party? Hell no! Because neither major party represents us any more. Only minorities and special interest groups get representation from our elected "public servants".
Across the country, democrats are scrambling to curry favor with our new president. Even in the great state of West Virginia, Governor Manchin, and politicians Byrd, and Rockefeller have recently voted against pro gun legislation. So I have been sold out by my former party. They have aligned themselves with the President, and taken his views, rather than stand on their former individual stands.
These are the worse kind of politicos. They are not real men. They have no form of their own, rather they are like water, and will fit into whatever container that their master, BHO, pours them into.
These WV democrats have been the last straw in my exasperation. I did not join the republican party because they have all that I want, but rather, I was driven out of my old party because they have changed, and I believe that I have not changed all that much. I still believe in the Constitution.
So now I am a republican. Big deal. I don't ever vote for a platform any more. I simply vote for the one I feel can do me the least harm. Defensive voting. Damn shame it has come to this in America.

Survival Scenario
Maybe I am paranoid. But it works well for me. Makes me ponder things like this.
I think about things that may happen. I see that some of the things that happen far from here, like giant snow storms, and tornados, could possibly happen here too.
Scenario-
A freak snow storm has dumped 3 feet a day for 3 days.
You cannot even go outside, let alone go to the store, which is closed anyway.
School was canceled, due to a snow alert, so you and all your family is home.
Land lines and Cell towers are dead. No communication is possible.
Right now, this very second, your electric goes off, and is unlikely to come back on for over a month.
The snow plows and FEMA can't get anywhere near you for weeks.
You are shut into your house, and can not come out for a long time.
---------------------------------------------------------------
OK. Now for a few questions. Not questions for you to
answer to me, but some you should answer to yourself.
Will you die?.......from what? Lack of food, water, meds?
Will you live?.......how?
Will you freeze? Got lots of blankets? Long Johns?
Will you starve?...or will you eat?
The snow is 9 feet deep, and covering your windows..can you get fresh air into the home?
Can you keep mental stability in yourself and others? Got games and cards to play with to distract from the looming fear?
Most importantly....What can you do now, BEFORE it happens, to survive this scenario?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for me and mine, we will live. Simply because I prepare for such things.
Everyone should.

Children that Kill
First, check out the link to see the source of my rage for this blog entry.
http://tinyurl.com/yzqwwdu
I would never justify a crime in any way.
However, I truly believe that the parents of all children should teach them that "they" can be the ones that create these monsters that kill.
We have all seen it in school. An individual gets singled out for being different from the main crowd. They are relentlessly harassed. There is no comfort in the world for them, because the law says that all must go to school.
We have all seen something else in ourselves. The point where we snapped, and stopped someone from violating us in one way or the other.
So there it is. The children snap too, but lack the physical ability to stand up to their tormentors. So they plot and scheme. Sometimes they get caught and stopped, and sometimes they kill.
I nearly killed a bully with my knife, many years ago. Reporting him would have not gotten any results in the early 70's, but my knife had the desired effect. No, I did not cut him. But he knew from that day forward that I would.
Sad part is, many of these kids would never have known about their own dark side if extreme duress had not been inflicted on them for the amusement of others.
So, in a very direct way, parents of bullies are the ones responsible for the deaths of innocents. Teachers need to wake up. Known bullies should be reported to the parents, and the authorities. Once the bully has been reined in, further offenses should be dealt with severely, to the fullest extent of the law.
As always of course, any opinions that are in disagreement with mine are wrong.

NWO via Euro Bucks
This is my main concern about our economy.
I have long felt that this financial mess is deliberately being made worse by all the "wonderful new socialist plans" just to force the US into the New World Order, by adopting the Euro as our currency.
It is the perfect scenario. If you recall, there were several countries in Europe that had lousy economies. With the adoption of the Euro, they were bolstered up by the more financially stable economies of Europe. It was the perfect leveling field for them. Now, every country in Europe has the same value currency.
So now, if our current administration manages to destroy the dollar, we will have no currency of value. Our only option to be part of a real monetary system will be to accept the Euro.
As Americans, we have always scoffed at any notions of allying ourselves financially with anyone. This has kept us independent...until now. BHO and his people will keep ruining us as far as possible, until the dollar is dead. Then, the NWO people will step in and offer us the Euro System. And will it be accepted? Of course it will. There will be no options, no "Plan B". Take it or have no money.
We are being forced into the New World Order, by way of our wallets.

PC can go to hell.
I am ranting again.
I am so sick of Political Correctness, that the next person that corrects anything I say may end up screaming things that are not PC, such as, "get this son of a bitch off of me", or "why did you punch my face, you asshole", or,"lock that bastard up forever, officer".
For me, Politically Correct means simply showing respect to others. If I inadvertently say something that sounds a bit in error, I know that it was not intended to offend anyone. And the people that know me are aware of that. And they are the only ones I care about anyway.
With that in mind, I allow myself the following digression.
The wimpy pussies that come up with the drivel in this article need to be bitch slapped across their pasty faced, stupid asshole heads.
Or, in PC jargon, the undersized genitalia humans that write these editorials need to be gently but firmly reminded that not all fellow humans have the same passion for concise language as they feel is correct.

I tried to find a multi-racial, unisex, cathojewmuslimbudda left/right finger to flip up at them, but I couldn't. Because, unlike them, I can't paint everything with the same brush.

Great Men all gone?
I wish I had said this quote. But it was written by a far greater man than myself. I am humbled by such great words of wisdom.
THE FOUNDATION
"Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to
surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and
which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot
endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that
wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary
bondage on them." --Thomas Jefferson
It would be a fine thing indeed, if such greatness were in our government today. But, alas, we must endure the degeneration of American Greatness, by the weak minded morons we have today.

Democracy My Ass
WTSHTF, things will be much different that they are now. The prepared folks will be
deluged with people that never stored so much as a can of soup. Some of us prepared people have soft hearts, and will take in a few very close family members, or even friends.
And of course, some of these folks wont be happy with the situation. After all, they are used to glibly waltzing through life without a care in the world. Soon they will try to assert their own wills and become a leading force, because they think they are qualified to tell others how to do things.
I truly understand the logic of picking a leader, when a leader is needed. But I
also think that a crisis situation is no time for the election process.
I don't want to be a leader of anyone, ever.
However, among the members of this household, and the family outside of my
house, I am the only one that makes preps. And several of them know about it,
because I encourage them to do the same. But, they are sheeple, and can barely
run their own lives.
So, ATSHTF, I will not allow anyone to lead me in my home, where I am sure
several people will show up for help. This is not a democracy. It is a monarchy,
and I am the ruler of the realm. This is not up for discussion. If you enter, you
have accepted this as the law.
This is not because I possess greater wisdom. It is because I have long prepared
and calculated how to get through a crisis. I will not allow anyone to remove a
single item from storage. If I am careful, I can feed several people for a
decent period of time. If anyone can just grab and eat when they feel like it,
when mealtime comes, there may be missing items that are needed to prepare food
for the group. I know that adults can survive well on 2,000 calories a day, and
I can make good, balanced meals to equal that. To allow any interruption in the
storage will jeopardize the health of the group.
And, I have long considered the skill sets of the ones that will probably show
up. I have already figured how each one can be utilized to help the entire
household. This will be a contribute, or leave this house situation. I put this
responsibility on myself, and will accept no less from others.
These family members know me well, and I know them well. The only problem I
foresee is the "I will get to it" attitude. I do everything as soon as it needs
done. So, this is the only attitude I will accept from others. We will all be in
this together. The difference is, I know how to handle it, they don't. They
might not like the way I do things, but maybe I don't like them showing up for
help, when they never helped themselves, while they had the chance. Then, when
they have used up my resources, and I have nothing more to give them, they can
vote on a leader. But they can do it wherever they are, because it wont be here.
I can actually survive without them.
So, to anyone reading this that might find themselves in such good fortune of finding a
prepared benefactor, I have a word of advice~ be nice, sit down, shut up, enjoy the food, and do
whatever you can to help the household. Anything less could put you on the street, which
could lead to your demise.
Leader? Me? Hardly. But then, I am the best shot they have at continuing to
live. So, sometimes, we all need to stand down. Democratic voting may work in
certain situations. But there will be no voting here.
I will be the person that stands up and says "I will take care of things - we will
do things my way...or else".
