Hi, purple! I’ve spent a long period ex-CONUS, and was feeling testy. I am tired of this person’s Alinsky-tactics, and on top of that, he tries to cover his poison words in our ears by playing victim.

But, you are right, of course. I no longer have time for childish games with imbicils of his stripe. There is “Man’s work” to do trying to save this Republic!

I don’t understand your 2nd comment. I will freely give, but for those who try to take w/o permission, the “Every Needful Thing” that I’ve stored includes ammo. Does that help?

Do you think there is any correlation between Obama’s surge in the polls and the loss of confidence in the market?

Atheling, I think you’re on to something here. I hadn’t though about that aspect, but now that you mention it, I can see it. Along with the Socialization of our economic system… They foreign investors know that if the Treas. can change terms on agreements w/o going through the Courts, (which would slow that whole process down), they don’t dare invest here! They’ll lose everything whenever a ripple occurs!

Do you think that foreign banks and investors are possibly worried about a novice winning the election and inheriting this mess?

I do think that they know who is pulling Obie’s strings, and it scares them. They saw Soros almost tank Gr.B., and he’s stated that he hates the American economy. Add that to the fact everyone’s hooked into our economy, and I can see real fear that he might win in Nov.

But, thank you! I really dropped the ball in overlooking scenario you describe in the first part of your post!

Rebuilding? I don’t think the people who have been involved in making the mess in the first place should be allowed to have a say in the “rebuilding”. If I have anything to say about it; you, and those like you aren’t going to be rebuilding squat. You are helping to make the mess that others will have to rebuild.

Really? in what fashion am I doing that? I say right in the piece that was so obviously above your reading level:

We may have to LOTE this election, because after this, at ANY COST we must deny the Dems/MSM the win. If we reward their bad behavior, they will never stop. The downside of this, voting for RINOs is balanced by “the Daily Letter”.

“Vote LOTE“, you know: McCain. It seems you give friendly fire just fine. Sorry I agreed with you! I guess I was right: with friends like you, McCain needs no enemies! Are you going to push any others away?

But hey, Why would I be depressed about this? Everyone is going to seek you out for leadership on the rebuilding.

My whole purpose, instead of whining like an infant is to put a blueprint on the net, and lets all kick it around. I’ll then ask Michelle to post the final, as an open letter. If she does, it will have as “Author:” all the posters here! In any event, I’ll post it on Dad’s site, with the Author line: “All the posters on Michelle Malkin’s site.”

Yeah, I can see how that will bring people to me!

Look, you dimbulb: I’m well over sixty, I’m forgoing my retirement after 34yrs USAF (paperwork started Monday…) because I don’t believe that we are following the Constitution any longer, and with The Lord’s Help I fulfill my Oaths! I’ve already turned down my promotion, and I’m forgoing my pension because the paperwork will go through faster, and I don’t want money from a Socialist regime — it is dirty. Yes, I won’t pin-on that star, but I’ll have been honest to myself. And yes, there are people I work with who think I’m nuts. So what? My family and I have decided what course we’re taking at our Councils. What others think doesn’t matter.

You think you’ve lost everything: I understand that. It could be worse. You could have been born in the LDS Church during the move West, when at least a third died in the handcart companies. Or, when the Missiouri Execution Order was signed by Boggs, not repealed until the 1990s. You could have been born in Pol Pot’s or Mao’s or Ho’s during their time, and died horribly in the purges!

I believe you’ve said you are a Christian. Don’t they teach in other versions of Christianity that everything is in the Lord’s Hand, so do not despair? Are you a Follower, or a Pretender? If you are a Follower, repent and be of good cheer: All that happens is only that which the Lord allows. It will make you stronger, better, and work for your edification!

But, as I said: I’m over 60: I just want to be left alone! I do what I do because even if this is truly the End Times, we have the obligation to do all that we can to save all that we can! The LDS Church doctrine has a story, which I’ve extremely condensed to provide the point:

A very Holy man, a Brother of a man named Jared was told to do something by the The Lord. He asked The Lord: we’ll need a light to see, what should I do? The Lord replied that the Brother should think about it, and then ask Him for whatever seemed appropriate. The man thought about it and decided that since The Lord could do anything, he found some volcanic glass and remoltened it into spheres. The then carried these back up the highiest mountain in the area, (to where the The Lord 1st Commissioned him), and asked The Lord to touch them with his finger, so they would give light.
From this we learn that we must do all we can before we ask The Lord to act.

“I have 5yrs supply for me & my extended family,(or a yr’s when we share w/our nieghbors…)”

LOL, See everyone! The rebuilding begins!

What is wrong with following the teachings of my Church: self-sufficientcy? That you can’t help your nieghbors unless you able to care for yourself? You find sharing w/the others in a crisis funny? Ill-advised?

My Church says a member in good standing will, whenever possible, have 1yr of everything needful. Two years is better. More so you can help those who were not able or were unwarned.

This supply has helped in hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural events. It helps when you are between jobs. In short, dimwit: what is wrong with the practice?

I had a long post I prepared where I took you apart using your own words, showing that if you aren’t one of the problem people you are a fellow-traveller. An Alinsky grad, as shown by your methods of operation. In the end, I’m not posting it. I decided that I’ve spent too much of my life on your foolishness. I no longer have time to play these games, I’ve got grownup things to do. As to your comment, Mr. Alinsky Grad: “…you, and those like you aren’t going to be rebuilding squat.” I’m sure you’re serious. I would expect nothing less from an Alinsky. I’ll place my words against yours, and let people decide which they’ll do. I’ll never know, but I don’t really think many will follow your method of “Whine & Awe”. And even if they do, so what? We (my family & I) follow The Lord: you can’t touch us, the worst you can do operates only in the Physical Realm.

This is the last time I will extend a hand. Reproving sharply when moved on by the Spirit. I, and those like me, will save what we can, always using the Documents of Inception as our guide… most who work will never see a blog, or care about your whining. Either help, or get out of the way!

Sorry about the length Michelle. I’ve tired of standing silent around the “Whine & Awe” crowd.

Do you think that foreign banks and investors are possibly worried about a novice winning the election and inheriting this mess?

Investors know good and well Obama will finish off our ailing economy.

Bill:
No change from our previous tussles.

Mike, I’ve had more than my share of tussles with some folks here in the past, including Bill. To me it doesn’t make much sense to keep reoord of every disagreement I’ve had with people hereabouts and drag them up at a later date. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof or something like that, y’know.

I have 5yrs supply for me & my extended family,(or a yr’s when we share w/our nieghbors…)

It’s wise to have something set aside for a rainy day, but I think you have to keep in mind there are also people who are less then neighborly in times of trouble.

Reminds me of the old joke:

“Do you like Kipling?”

“I don’t know – I’ve never kippled.”

Bill:
I see you still lack reading comp. skills. No change from our previous tussles.

So is that what you post when you can’t intelligently rebut what someone else wrote? Or is that just a non sequitur break from the verbal masturbation?

“… where I give a 1st thought on how to start the rebuilding.”

Rebuilding? I don’t think the people who have been involved in making the mess in the first place should be allowed to have a say in the “rebuilding”. If I have anything to say about it; you, and those like you aren’t going to be rebuilding squat. You are helping to make the mess that others will have to rebuild.

“Of course, we could just keep speaking glowingly of McSham, papering over his every flaw, which is the stategy[sic] you’ve put forth time & again.”

Or we could just shoot ourselves in the foot and tank the country because we are self-important blow hards who haven’t thought the ramifications of what we have been advocating through.

We are 29 days away from the election by the way.

“I have noticed I haven’t seen anything constructive from you, though… “

Are you kidding? I have posted plans, links to organizations, action alerts, tactics and strategies to roll back what is coming. I have become convinced that people do not come here to be “constructive”. Perhaps you want some external validation by joining in the echo chamber…. I don’t need it. More likely I should take some of you at your word, you don’t WANT “constructive” you want “destructive” and Obama will do quite nicely. You can’t rebuild if you first don’t destroy. Right?
You wont be able to “rebuild” the mess that he is going to make the way you think you will be able to.

“I hope you don’t really think the “not deal in lies” applies to you. “

Where have I lied? Have I ever pronounced McCain to be the perfect candidate? My first choice? My second choice? No, he is the one that the primaries gave us. He is old as dirt and has some lousy ideas, OK? He is running against someone who is truly dangerous not only to the constitution but the the economic system as well as the the ideals that we need to preserve and re-affirm. Obama is an existential threat to the USA. McCain is not. We can clean up after McCain, I fear the mess Obama will make will be enough to ensure that we will lose our status as the pre-eminent sovereign nation on earth. Indeed, I have no doubt about it. Oh, we will still have the best ideals and the best aspirations and the finest code that some great minds gave us and some great people worked/died to secure.. We just will be using them as a door mat.

But hey, Why would I be depressed about this? Everyone is going to seek you out for leadership on the rebuilding.

“I have 5yrs supply for me & my extended family,(or a yr’s when we share w/our nieghbors…)”

Biggest Con Of All Time

“I think I’ll go with Philips over Grant. It’s the Grant style thinking which has brought this country to its knees.”

So because I have an IRA and stock I am letting “liberty be smothered in material prosperity?”

Thanks for nothing, flenser.
