Yes ma'am. I've got a list, but it must be said that what's being done hurts my heart. However, I will not surrender!
ReplyDeleteAnon...My heart is hurting as well. I will never understand why those in power seek to wreck the country I grew up in and love. Comply? Nope. Surrender? Never.
DeleteY'know Vicki...I've been through this before. I know how this works. They push, we back up, they push, we back up some more and that keeps going until we have the wall at our backs. I went through it with my own progressive liberal family. When you draw your lines, they come flouncing right over it expecting you to back up... and then they're hurt and angry when you punch them in the snoot. And then you get cancelled and pushed out the airlock. Then they go on to fight with each other... it's the way these guys roll.
ReplyDeleteIt's all our fault if it comes. We all knew better, we sat on our hands and let them get away with it when we should have spanked them... and now we have this monster to confront.
I agree with you in principle, Glen, but the nature of "They" has been insidious. If you go to a chicken ranch, there'll be HUGE piles of chicken poop outside each of the coops, each made up of poop so small, you wouldn't even feel it if you stepped on it. That was the method of the destroyer of our countries. No one thing was "a hill worth dying on," but in the end, we we've been buried by the hill they created. That being said, the question now is "What will we do now that our backs are against the wall?"
DeleteGlen/Pete...I agree with both of you. Glen - I don't have anyone fighting over our situation. Mostly pretending nothing is wrong. Like the method my parents used to avoid anything bad. "If we don't talk about it, it will go away." But here it is anyway. In spades.
DeletePete - Sneaky bastards, aren't they. A snip here. A cut there. And before we know it, the wounds are so bad they will kill us. And don't look for any help from Congress. They are so busy calling each other names like 4 year olds on the playground, that they are useless. We are so divided now that I'm not sure anything could rile the population up enough to do something about it all
We're not voting our way out of this, Vicki. It's gone too far. The situation we're facing is like being on a motorcycle at highway speed, and having a coyote appear in front of you. You have two choices; you can try to evade the coyote, or you can plow right through it. If you try to evade, you have a good possibility of losing control and ending up in the weeds. If you plow right through the coyote, you have a better chance of being on your wheels on the other side. That's about where we are right now.
ReplyDelete...Both hands on the bars, arms braced, folks!
Pete...In my opinion, we are way past voting ourselves out of a bad situation. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that we would have a leader who has trouble stringing two coherent sentences together. Nor did I believe that one party would stoop to the levels we have seen to win one election and try to stop another. The only conclusion I can come to is that we - each of us and our families - are on our own. I don't know how I can change anything. So the next best thing is to keep stacking it high. Canning from my freezer over the weekend. Ordering more groceries to can and dehydrate next week. Doing everything I can possibly do to keep my family fed when the time comes. God help us, Pete. Not looking good at all!
DeleteWanted to tell you that Georges Grouse owner has passed away,
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling me. I didn't know. He will be missed by so many.
DeleteAh, I kind of knew. He was a sweetheart of a blogger.
DeleteThat's a very good way to describe him, BarbaCat.
DeleteI was afraid of that; he hadn't posted since December 15. I will miss him, but know that he is happy to be with the the Lord.
Deletechipmunk...I am ashamed to admit that I didn't notice when his last post was. I knew he wasn't well. You are right. Most times going home to be with our Lord is preferable to the pains of living.
