Not a losing battle, but,,,,,

When I hear the words "Obama could be a good President if people would give him a chance," I just walk away anymore.

The statement shows just how far down the rabbit hole these people have fallen. How much dis-information they have received and how ignorant of the real situation in politics. I was never a G.W. Bush fan and I REALLY didn't like Clinton but O'boy makes both of those guys look fairly decent. (note, I didn't say Good, just decent)
You can educate all you want, but ignorance of this level is nearly irrepairable: Especially when the age of the person is taken into account.(retired usually)
This particular person(s) has been so indoctrinated with socialist ideas, they think people that are trying to become self-reliant, are insane. 'The guberment will take care of all that when things get rough!'
Dependency is slavery. PERIOD. These people are slaves to the system and are so ignorant of it they continue to push for the agendas that enslave us all.
I don't know who said this but "if America falls, there is nowhere else to turn for freedom' had it pretty close to the truth. The only fault I have with that statement is that Freedom begins in your own head. If you think about it, you will see how to be free even in our "Responsibility Cop" age.(thanks to Mountain Rifleman for that little idea) How long we can get away with that freedom is up to us and how low under the radar we are willing to live. It ain't easy though.

Even so, until the current generation of slaves falls the wayside, we will have an uphill fight on our hands. The 'Entitled' will cry for the gooberment to fix thier woes and of course, the gooberment will be more than happy to comply; at a price.

I have given up trying to explain the reasons for refusing to go through a bank for building my home. I have given up trying to explain why I won't open up a savings account or a 401K. I have given up trying to explain why my lockbox is so damned heavy with silver(hard to find gold coin locally) (they used to call silver coins cartwheels for a reason: You needed a damned cart to carry them around in any value over local grocery purchases) BUT, I don't have to explain it anymore, I just have to live it. Let those that don't understand, fall under the bus. Family included. I sounds cruel but if you wish to be free, there are hard sacrifices that have to be made.

PS: I would like to thank a young lady in Texas for a wonderful gift I received yesterday. You know who you are and I won't list your name here. Again, Thank You very much.
