“As we look back on the horrors of the dictatorships and autocracies of the past, one particular question consistently arises; how was it possible for the common men of these eras to NOT notice what was happening around them? How could they have stood as statues unaware or uncaring as their cultures were overrun by fascism, communism, collectivism, and elitism?”

This is a very old joke. In high-school many decades ago it was noted that Mormons are supposed to keep enough supplies to live off for something like a year, so the old joke went that what you needed in the time of the nuclear holocaust is a Mormon friend and a gun.

This shows why it is never wise to brag about preparedness
……or your wine stash (had a friend who used to do that until I told him not to)

Sunday Headline:
Democrats and Republicans are “very close” to reaching a $3 trillion deal on the debt limit, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.
Well surprise, surprise.
The fabricated crisis just may come to and end (at the final hour) just as virtually everyone forecasted.
Sadly, the most important question floating through Washington, is which party will gain the most in prep for the 2012 election.

Is it at least possible that the marketing departments of the gun, survival food, water bottles, flashlights, batteries and gold coin etc… etc… are behind a lot of the marketing… er… a… concerned commentary we’re inundated with along these lines?

Repubs are filibustering right til the end. They’re lucky there are only 2 parties.
Remember their blocking unemployment payments? Compassionate conservatism LOL!

Could it be that the Tea Party is actually the Kool-Aid Party? Stay tuned.
