Even in slavery life goes on, yes. But, however, I’d prefer to inflict the real capital punishment on the enemies of humanity rather than settle for mere survival.

Danny,

My reasoning is thus: We have very little control of the propaganda, but, at least in a passive manner, we can influence events. The media shills will still tell us that what we see tastes like ice cream, but not everyone with a nose will ask for a spoon. Many people, nearly as smart as we are, have pointed out that the Romney brain trust failed even in the simple matter of spending campaign money on, ahem, a campaign, in the summer, in the swing states. The same wunderkinder who spent so much energy, four years ago, on sliming Sarah Palin, were responsible for this portion of the disaster. However, when O’Bama said, over and over again, “We tried it their way and it did not work,” he had an event, even a spurious one, to use in the propaganda. If, four year hence, we can say the same thing, and will actually say it(!) we might make some headway.

Chuck Hammer, I am the counter culture. My kids were home schooled, when they were not in private schools. My grand children are the same. I left a Left church for a Christian one. We avoid movies and television, except NCIS, produced by a card-carrying Republican, with a few leftie sluffs woven into the dialogue. My grown son and I were involved in the massive effort to evacuate Katrina victims, and we give to the Salvation Army and not the Red Cross. I am a member in good standing of my parish’s chapter of Anglicans for life, and we pray in front of abortuaries and support crisis pregnancy centers. I have taken in the children of women who were being pushed into abortion, to allow them to go into the homes of friends when complications in the third trimester put the babies in danger. That’s just a little of it, and I am neither alone nor even a leader in any of these things. I AM,WE ARE, the alternative culture. That’s where these blogs are not just preaching to a choir consisting of only ourselves. The mutual encouragement we give one another is a vital part of what we are doing.

Deus lo volt!

“Chainsaw-toting Baptists.”

I will have nightmares.

Hey, I'm sure to the horror and denial of the eeeelite NY progressives, but help for the victims of Sandy has come from : Among the more entertaining incidents, a crew of chainsaw-toting Baptists showed up and started cutting people's trees for free. This was extremely necessary, because all tree service companies are booked up solid on larger jobs. MaxedOutMama: Fiat Lux! I did not see a cop the whole time, but aside from the terror of gangs of chainsaw wielding Baptists roaming around freeing people from their houses, I also did not see the need for them. Mainly it was just people helping people. From the South, no less. The horror! The horror!

Danny, add this to the Sandy story. There are approximately 14,000 empty federal buildings in the US. The cost of maintaining them runs in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The feds maintain an interactive website with a list. A handful of the buildings are in NY/NJ (blue states). National Guard + buses + MRE’s/water + cots/blankets…too sensible of an idea for FEMA, who in all their chutzpah waited for bids on water to distribute.

I would have helped the woman and told her something like, “Just remember, it was a conservative that helped you with that loaf”. Otherwise, I am so totally with you SADIE.

And that includes the Hurricane Sandy victims on the East Coast. This is a FEMA disaster ever as bad as Katrina was…worse, as GW Bush had military help on the way to New Orleans even as the hurricane was hitting.

For a great rant on the Hurricane Sandy situation, read this link from “Phantom” (h/t Small Dead Animals). Then, read all the other commentary:

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Two comments I read in last few days. File them under Get it from Obama or Elections have consequences. Anytime someone solicits me on the street, this is my response to them. Whenever I get a mail solicitiation (like the one I just received from the local PBS station) I’m sending it back with a sheet of paper that says GET IT FROM OBAMA. If Americans want to transfer control of my money to the goverment, then that’s where they should be going for their handouts. I was in a supermarket on Thursday and some short hispanic woman asked me if I could reach a loaf of bread for her on the top shelf. I asked her who she voted for. She was a little taken back, but after a few seconds answered “Obama”. I told her “then call the government to help you get the bread down” and walked away.

Incidentally, as far as I am concerned, the line in the sand was crossed this election cycle: I am through overlooking the vicious demagoguery of the Democrat Left and will call them out on it at every opportunity.

The line was probably crossed in the last presidential election, when they went after Sarah Palin’s kids.

I disagree that we will become like Britain, I believe that we are about to become Argentina, where one of the world’s wealthiest nations died the dead of thousands of economic cuts in the hands of populist albeit clueless and avaricious dictators.

Mike Adams – I totally disagree with Rush Limbaugh on this – he believes the American people will wake up in the face of a crisis – I am not so sure. I believe that far too many will look to government with helpless looks on their faces. I really believe that too many people have been mesmerized with the bread and circuses of popular media to have a clue about what is going on. This is what makes them easy prey – the only thing that will wake them up is a real crisis. What we need to be sure to do is make sure that the finger of blame points squarely at those responsible and that Democrat demagogues are exposed for what they are.

The good news, however, is that conservatives cannot be marginalized. This is still a 50:50 country. Let conservatives’ values take root and succeed at the grass roots levels (communities, states) and prove their success. We need to be in position when the financial calamity does strike …and it will strike.

I was just at an overseas business meeting where I had final confirmation on a financial trend that I have seen happen this year that is having devastating (albeit unreported) effects on small and medium business. Apparently, Dodd-Frank Regulations have given regulators the authority to force banks to cut funding to capital enterprises, no matter how profitable those loans, and force them to buy treasury bonds instead. I have had three company financial reports put on my desk of companies that need to be sold because their bank access was cut off with no good explanation given.
What this does is two things:

1) it takes capital out of the productive, tax-revenue generating marketplace and redirects it to non-productive U.S. treasury debt repayment.

2) it makes sure that the banks will be taken down when the values of their treasury holdings collapse.
