What a mess. I can't even find the words to express how I feel about what was once OUR government. Yet again these fools have waited until the very last minute to do their job. What do they do when they finally reach an agreement? They do exactly the same thing they did with Obama Care. Passed at the last minute and filling it full of pork, they have again passed this mess without reading it. We are toast. A ticking time bomb is just waiting for the right moment to explode.
At this point all I can say is that we are in for some deeply troubled times in the very near future. If you don't feel the need to prepare for the coming days, if you choose to turn a blind eye to what has happened to our country then you will become nothing more than a burden. I point to what happened last week when the EBT cards failed to work for a few hours. Their actions should be a wake up call to folks who think chaos cannot happen here. It can happen in a matter of hours.
This president is hell bent on "Fundamentally changing America". It looks as though he is doing a bang-up job so far. Obama Care will destroy what little is left of this country. As folks start seeing just how much this "affordable" health care is going to cost them personally maybe... just maybe they will understand what that fundamental change "His Highness" was talking about.
This government shut down showed those who didn't know before that the POTUS has no honor. His actions are juvenile at best. His version of holding his breath until he turns blue. Shutting down the commissaries on the bases? Shutting down National memorials and National Parks. One park ranger told the press "we've been instructed to make things as uncomfortable as possible." ? These actions and many others like it show just what sort of cloth this POTUS cut from. The emperor wears no clothes. Tyranny is truly upon us.
You won't get any disagreement from me !
ReplyDeleteSadly there are many that will.
DeleteThanks for stopping by..
And the true Patriots (recent example Snowden) are labeled as tyrants, but our lying, Constitution-stomping "leaders" are touted as our salvation. I hope there is a special place in hell for them all.
ReplyDelete.....meant "Traitors", but you get my dirft
DeleteI do get your drift. Treason has been committed from the halls of Congress right up the ladder to the White House.
DeleteSad but true. Unfortunately, the people who NEED to know this won't see it, since they CHOOSE not to inform themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have painted a more accurate picture of what is happening to our government!! Wake up America, if it isn't already too late.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting easier and easier to see who the bad guys are. I wonder too if it is already to late.
DeleteI think it is too late to "wake up" like my buddy said. It will soon be in the hands of local vigilantes. Both colors. I even learned this through bloggers with that type of moronic attitude.
ReplyDeleteI fear showing up at the grocery store, AFTER THE FACT. Then it's too late. So I do what I have to for just the two of us AND THE PET. Never forget the little loyal fur-family!
DON'T FIGHT EACH OTHER. FIGHT THE GOVERNMENT.
Lotta joy,
DeleteSorry about this not being a "soft" place to land today. I'm just so fed up with the whole government. Top to bottom. There are a handful of them who are standing steady but I fear it is a little to late for things to change the forward motion of all this president has done.
And thanks for reminding folks about prepping for their pets.
You are absolutely spot on. I have been feeling for a while now that there is a sense of urgency. Better get done what I need to do while I still can. I'm afraid that the other shoe is about to drop.
ReplyDeleteVicki, I've been talking with a bunch of folks lately that are feeling that same urgency.. Prep what you can while you can is all I think we can do, You never know when you will need them.
DeleteIt is a circus in Washington DC, I have seen it before and I sick that so many people don't get it.
ReplyDeleteYou would think that the "show" would finally get old.
DeleteIt's too bad that the citizens don't do as our veterans did a week ago.....march on Washington, instead of ranting on blogs....what means nothing more than a unseen rant.
ReplyDeleteI was so proud to see how the veterans stood up. We all could learn a lot from them. I rarely rant here but I was just so fed up with all this I had to "vent". I'm proud to say that all our representatives in the hall ( less one)voted against this horrendous bill. As for an unseen rant .... I figure the DOJ or DHS will be by shortly.
DeleteSciFi, that says it all.

Nice to see you again China. I wondered what happened to you!
DeleteI am 75 years old. This is NOT the country I grew up in, for sure. I am afraid we are already past the tipping point. Three more years of this president and this great country will be history. 2014 elections might save it, but I am afraid that all the moochers and stupid will outnumber the rest of us. Vote the bums out!
ReplyDeleteI can't say it any better than you just did!
DeleteI so agree with you both! Some of these 'lifers' keep being put back in office. I feel helpless against such willful ignorance.
DeleteWe're doing what we can, but have to wait for money each month.
Thanks for putting how I felt into words.
Did you happen to catch The President's press conference today??? Sounded like a child, telling on everyone.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he just the most juvenile petty little brat? Through this whole thing he refused to sit down and talk. And now he's all "I'll sit down with anyone" It makes me want to scream.
DeleteSci, I don't know if it will make you feel any better but I got a lot of hits on my $125.00 start preparing shopping list. Perhaps a few more people woke up!
ReplyDeleteI figure if you can reach even one person that they will reach out as well. Keep up the good work! You inspire me to try harder.
DeleteThanks,
Sci
I am of the firm belief that those who side with this president.. are no different then the loyalist from the revolution who sided with Great Britan and King George. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it is the same only 200 + years later. and instead of the promise of land and gold, these days the promise is free healthcare, free cell phones, free housing...
ReplyDeleteI knew the Repubs. would cave, it was only a matter of time, and to think there are those out there celebrating this as a good thing. I am also of the belief that the EBT card debacle last week, was on purpose to test the waters...
JUGM, No need to apologize here. I've had the same thoughts about that correlation. I think we both know how this will probably work out. I'm certain that the debacle with the EBT cards WAS a test run. (Should I break out my tin foil hat now?) Multiply that chaos throughout the country by say... 3 days. Scary thought, huh?
DeleteThere is no stopping it only being prepared for it. Neither party could stop the wreck that is coming even if they suddenly both wanted to.
ReplyDeleteYup!
DeleteI'm sorry this is happening to your country. I shudder to think what repercussions we'll feel here in Canada, and how soon. Actually, some are feeling something already. I was talking to a friend whose friend was buying a house owned by a couple from the USA. The couple pulled out of the deal because under the circumstances they said they changed their minds. They may end up having to use the home themselves. These are uncertain times for you. God be with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I hope that this never affects you and your Country. You are right. These are uncertain times. Mars likes to remind me that we are bearing witness to history and history is sometimes messy. *sigh*
DeleteSo true - I compare it to a little kid that says, "If I can't eat candy, I won't eat at all." Both options are toxic rather than eating say broccoli. I have paid maaaaybe $1000 on health/dr. in the past 10 years - am now paying $3000 per year for insuring my health.
ReplyDeleteThere are a whole lot of folks in this country who will be seriously shocked when they find out just how much their "Free Healthcare" is going to cost them. Boy are they in for a surprise. Can you say sticker shock!
DeleteSCI,
ReplyDeleteThose who believe the government is going to take care of them are in for a rude awakening. This government shut down is just the start of what's to come.
Being prepared is the best thing one could ask for or do for their family.
Just think, now we get to go through another one of these "disasters" again in January. No wonder this country is in so much trouble. These fools in DC can't even get a budget together. You know if it were you or I we would probably do a better job. I mean what do these CONgress critters know about balancing a budget anyway.
DeleteCongress is corrupt to the core. They and the prez should be arrested and sent to GITMO with the rest of the terrorists.
ReplyDeleteWhen will our Military leaders arrest them? They are sworn to defend the Constitution! We are watching our country being destroyed before our eyes. You can also bet now that the debt ceiling has been suspended for three months we will see another trillion added to it!!
