I stop by to see if anyone has come up with any viable solutions yet. Francis, you and your cohorts think thoughts that might at any moment pop up with a strategy to "save the planet".<br /><br />A wave of illiterate hatred seems destined to break upon the world very soon now. One may feel protected by moving to the countryside and stockpiling food and ammunition, but depravity of this magnitude has a knack for flushing out people to kill in the most hidden of places. Both the Soviets and the Germans deployed large battalions of men and armament to destroy the tiniest of remote villages. We are in for no less attention, because the forces of darkness can brook no dissent.<br /><br />To <b>Backwoods Engineer</b>: it is our task to reconstruct as much of Eden (America) as possible, after defending and nourishing what remnants of the old one still linger on.Malatropenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-43633382110009578012015-02-16T09:42:48.722-05:002015-02-16T09:42:48.722-05:00"”I’m gonna be a happy idiot and struggle for..."”I’m gonna be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender.” -- Jackson Browne"<br /><br />Funny, I was just listening to that song on Saturday. I was thinking that I wish I could be innocent again, not knowing or worrying about all that is out there, the threats to me, my family, my state, my country. But alas, it's not possible.

I started thinking then that we might be headed for another civil war. Events over the past decade have only increased my foreboding. Like rust, the Left never sleeps. They can see the finish line now and over the next two years of the malevolent one's administration, the pedal will be pressed to the floor even harder. Anyone who thought he might take a different tack after the sound trouncing his party took at he last election, is living in fantasy land. He end the rest of the Democrats will now push harder, forcing a confrontation. It's time to gear up and be ready.
