Squeaky 135 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hey Guys: I just need a moment to rant. So please bear with me. One attribute of the political left is narcissism and there's a lot of it in our nation now. Narcissism causes selfishness and I am amazed at how the left is selfishly getting its way with its abuse of power everywhere. It is helped by a corrupt media. This week's events with SCOTUS really seem to take the cake. Sarcastically, I can't help wondering if Justice Roberts is really a man. Anyway ... I want think many on the left are simply being short-sighted (as usual) without any consideration for consequences. I can't help thinking that for whatever reason there are many on the left who really do hate our country and want to hurt it and they are succeeding. Over and over I have seen that for a given issue, regardless of breadth or importance or scale, the left is short-sighted/myopic due to the selfishness mentioned above. In the case of lefties who are essentially projecting their own prejudices upon the rest of us, I fear they might induce a civil war here in the USA. Unlike examples in the past where the left used armed force (French Revolution and the Russian Revolution), the left is now taking a softer approach towards conflict through political/legal means. One political effect is ... yet again ... squeezing people's financial means too much. Money is power. The left always wants to disempower folks. Another way seems to be forceful cultural conformity. All of this is through the legal system. It is quite possible that an ironic result of the left having its way will be an independent South after all if a civil war does occur. I do hope I am wrong, but my gut feeling for years has been we seem to have all the ingredients needed for a civil war in the past. Amazingly, the minority left is selfishly imposing it's will upon the rest of us due to an insecure need for power rooted in its feminine culture. The USA must get true, successful, masculine-style leadership from either another Reagan or a Thatcher kind of leader if civilty is to ever be restored. Meanwhile, I think Russia, China, and Iran simply need to be patient to wait and see if we don't destroy ourselves. That's when they should pursue any military conquests. Meanwhile, I am willing to bend over and pay rip-off prices for any .22 and .30 caliber ammo I find. I will keep buying as much ammo as I can afford as long as a democrat holds the Presidency. I am getting more serious about praying for our nation too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeaky 135 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) It really bothers me to think I might be considered a racist bigot just because a great great (or great great great ?) grandfather served in the Confederate cavalry under General Bureugard (?). Obviously, that's someone I never knew and whose politics I would probably not agree with. Edited June 26, 2015 by Squeaky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spartacus 1,619 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 We are all very concerned at what's going on. Those who are not concerned are not paying attention, or just do not understand. We need to hang on tight, do what's right, and as you said keep praying. And of course, as you also said..... buy more ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I for one agree with you. However, things have not gotten bad enough yet. When the unwashed masses finally wake up and understand what is happening perhaps, just perhaps we will still have enough time, through political methods, to still turn things around. Perhaps. Maybe. Instead of complaining and buying more ammo we will most likely never need or use, why not instead getting politically involved and spending that time and energy selecting, running and putting into office good people. Statesmen rather than political hacks. Individuals who have the needs of the nation before their own selfish needs. Respectfully. Just me.

Odd Man Out 1,283 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Being "concerned" doesn't even touch it. I am seeing our country swirling down the tubes and can seemingly do nothing to stop it! Sure I wear the non pc tee shirts and try to talk with those that will listen but I really feel on the losing end of things. I don't think it will matter who our next Fuhrer will be as long as we remain being the led. Things are so out of whack -- the SCOTUS is making law, the president is making decrees and the republican led congress is seemingly doing nothing. And nobody is up in arms -- where are the protests, where are the marches? Our country is bankrupt, in a moral tailspin and asleep. It has been mentioned that America is never mentioned, hinted at or tangentially referred to in the Bible -- I am seeing why now. Unless something radically different happens, and for one thing I am sure; that must include a moral reawakening we will continue the rapid slide into historical irrelevance. My family and I will continue to lead upright and Christ guided lives but I feel like we are living in a society that is becoming more and more polluted. My dirty 2 cents... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjgusmc21 850 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I am in a state of spiritual and mental chaos right now at what is occuring with our country. There is a line that should never be crossed...because once you do, you can never look back. AND THIS POS POTUS has done this on so many occasions. And for those of you that 'stood your ground' and refused to vote for Mitt Romney, well, do it again and we'll end up with Hitlery. ALL OF THIS is because of Obama. Bottom line. May God spare my childrens future from the likes of what is ocurring now. Edited June 26, 2015 by sjgusmc21 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jwulf 179 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) The country is lost. Not enough people will stand up, and way fewer would do so under the 2nd Amendment. We could get hit Europe like tax rates and still no one would revolt. The big problem as I see it...half the country (and growing) is just fine with tyranny and will keep voting for more of it. You could remove Congress and the Administration and replace it with all new people, but the subjects still want to be ruled as subjects. You would have to do away with a significant portion of the lefties and educate the rest on what it means to be free and I just don't see that happening. I don't see an armed revolution happening either. Afterall..the environment today would not be like the Civil War with a clear Mason-Dixon line. How would you actually go about identifying the enemy? Voter registrations? Edited June 26, 2015 by jwulf 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sjgusmc21 850 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I am continuing to bow my head in disgrace and shock that they actually made this decision. I am beside myself in disbelief that the SCOTUS, supposedly the most experienced and NON POLITICAL Court in our land, took political sides on this.It is time to get rid of it. Over 55% of the country does not want or desire Obamacare...but they upheld it. What does that tell you? Anytime a Politician or Court goes against the majority of the RIGHTFUL population, they are wrong and it is time for a change. Rightful meaning those that are LEGALLY HERE AND OF COURSE US CITIZENS. This country is conservative in nature. It was founded on Christianity, and still is. No, you wouldn't believe it by listening to the nightly news, the never-ending Hollywood and libtard 'news' stations constantly telling us different.I cannot believe the over 50% of Americans are OK with same sex marriage. As I have said in the past....their is a line that is not meant to be crossed...and we as a country have crossed that line. Too bad for us as a country. It was a nice, short run. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolverine 10,360 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 We have come to a point where the Courts are treating the Constitution like a "living document" that is ever evolving with societal whim and political expediency. Rights are ignored, trampled or inferred without being expressed. Right has become wrong and wrong right. I fear the country is lost unless there is a massive return to our roots. I don't see that in sight. I feel for the country but for children in particular. They will never know better as they are saturated with the liberal doctrine spewed everywhere. We are in a fight for our voice to be heard. God help the traditionalists and conservatives to stay the course. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmilinEd 364 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 History just repeating itself.... Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. To those who feel this/these rulings do not affect them or have the no fucks givin mindset Just insert different groups now, religious, conservative, constitutionalists, etc... this country will change without a finger being lifted, just like Rome in its last days.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

montec 164 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 In my short time being on this planet. I look back and I wonder WTF happened. I remember in the 80's and early 90's being of single didget age riding in the back of the pickup going 65 down interstate sitting with my grandfather eating fried chicken(not KFC) and chucking the chicken bones over the box edge. There was no tailgate on the pickup. Hell it was some little mitsubishi I think that had bucket seats and was a manual. I rode on the hump when 2 adults were in it and sometimes on the passenger's lap. I'm alive and well. Hell I remember riding on the hood of a car from the house to the city park. I rode in the box of pickups, back of cars no seatbelts on playing on the seat and floor or rear deck, hell even in the front seat as well sometimes. I survived. Try doing that today and you'll be sitting in some prison for 5+yrs. I learned to drive sometime when I was in double didgets mid 90's well before the age of 14. I think it was 11 or 12. I learned to ride on a motorcycle no helmet, bald rear tire and on loose gravel. I had a gokart drove on the gravel roads and survived without being hit by a tractor, farm truck, or car. I dont know what age I was when I started shooting, but I do remember my stepdad telling me if I didn't pass hunter safety I would not be shooting till I did. I look back at all the fun I had growing up now and go man I wish my child(ren) could have that. But they will not, but I can tell them about it and maybe try and do somethings if I can manage a way to not be seen by the nannystate tattletales. It may not seem like I did much or was much at the time because it was normal, but these days in this short of time how far those freedoms have gone away. As for the marrage item, that is a legal issue for gov benefits. I understand the religious side of marrage and I do agree, but this is about getting the gov benni's and the perks of heath coverage and other non religious benefits given. Do I agree with the court, no, but its a legal issue not religion. I have friends that are gay/bi whatever. I could care less what they do in the bedroom. I've only asked that they dont hit on me, and they have respected that. As for the Rebal flag as I know it, they need to look back at the history, not what some current moron darwin award winner, hell I wish they would look back and relize that the KKK was democrats. How I see the 2 party system. Repub= corporate slavery Demoncrats/kkk= gov slaves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Next stop...destroying Christian free-speech. I have never been so ashamed of my country. Now I'm not a religious guy, so I think my take on this is somewhat objective, and I completely agree with you and every other person of faith out there on this statement. Personally I don't care what two consenting adults do in private, and I don't think gov should be in the marriage biz. However what's happening here is the continual coddling by courts across the country, of the idea that one person can force another to do nearly anything under the sun, simply by being offended. Being offended has turned into the greatest grievance in American life for many, maybe even worse than murder. The LGBT community, and the political left as a whole, are doing serious damage to 1st amendment rights and are toying with some dangerous long-standing precedents in this country, particularly the freedom of religious speech & practice. Turnabout is fair play though, and I've seen a few people toss around the idea of finding the first gay conservative/libertarian couple who would be willing to take a Mosque to court over a refusal to hold a gay wedding. Progressive heads would explode nationwide, as the two protected groups pit off one on one. As for America being cursed by God for the lot of this stuff... Trust me guys God can do whatever he wants to punish us, but when less than 50% of the country is willing to show up for a job, it really doesn't matter what God does at this point.

It's just another example of humans defying God. Does anyone else know the biblical story of the rainbow in Genesis? Is it just ironic that they put it on their flag or is it intentional? I'm happy with equal rights but, it's not going to stop on your doorstep. It's all about breaking down boundaries. The "age of consent" is a hottly contested subject among these groups too. Anyone wanna keep going this way? The "Holy Koran" says you can take a child on her wedding night. Muhammad couldn't wait past age 8, I believe. Disgusting! I follow the one and only true God. God will judge America soon. Get ready! Edited June 28, 2015 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjgusmc21 850 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Borrowing from the POTUS's Wildebeest Wife: For the first time in my life, I am truly ashamed of my country. I can say that with all honesty, and yes, it does place a burden on my soul and heart. It hurts. I served for 21 years because I believed in my country, it sure the hell wasn't for the pay or retirement. Phrases like: “In God We Trust” "I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible,with Liberty and Justice for all." I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God." "Semper Fi and Ductus Exemplo" Just words, just words. Meaningless now. Although I am vehemently against same sex marriage, same sex adoption, on and on, I don't care what 2 adults do BEHIND closed doors. But this just like the rest of this thing Americans call their President, has brought this country closer to our own destruction then anyone else ever has. The list is long an painful, but this final action was just the icing on the cake. From this point forward, all I care about, truly care about is just taking care of my family and raising my girls the best I can. I guess it has best been said like this by Darth Saigas: 'I just put away another case of 5.56'. This was one of the final lines that should not have EVER been crossed. Now it's too late. Am I over reacting? Nope, because I can read the writing on the walls and I know what is coming next. God HELP us all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornsj2 27 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure if there is any way to restore the integrity of the Supreme Court. As far as I'm concerned this last ruling, King vs. Burwell, has completely destroyed its legitimacy. In my own personal fantasy world, Congress would get filled up with people willing to abolish all of the lower federal courts, leaving only the Supreme Court to handle all federal cases. Then, an originalist president would just keep nominating originalist justices until we had over 1,000 originialist members of the Supreme Court. From there, the court could roll back most (not all) of the last 150 years. It sure would be fun to watch the media lose their minds. Unfortunately, all of this presupposes a population to elect all the congressmen and president willing to do it, which is why it is a fantasy. It might also be time to take a hard look at the Articles of Confederation and borrow some of that for constitutional amendments.

U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 One day the pendulum will swing the other way. Just like in pre WW2 Germany, Vietnam or early 20th century Russia. Then the fags, commies and FSA and politicians that supported and corrupted all will be seeking a hiding spot in your basement. They can't see that far yet but this will not go well for them in the long run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
