The Storm Has Not Yet Begun to Rage

You’ve heard the Boy Scout motto for years: “Be prepared.” And for years people have been saying to stockpile weapons, ammunition, food/water, and medical supplies, before you need them or before you can’t get them. Now with the election of the most anti-second amendment government in U.S. history, the time is not short, it is gone. No new legislation has been passed, but firearms have disappeared from the shelves and ammunition, if you can find any, is priced astronomically higher than it was a year ago. What is next? Have you been to the grocery store, lately? The price of basic staples has gone through the roof. With the orchestrated rise in oil prices and numerous weather calamities the cost of food is ridiculously high in the “Land of Plenty”. And we all know about the increased price of even over the counter medicines. What to do? Now? Good question. If you haven’t prepared, it will be difficult to do so with so many workers out of work. As the shortages begin to cut into what the welfare class can buy with their food stamps, they will resort to their preferred profession, thievery. And with increasing desperation, they will be come increasingly violent. You will have fight to keep what is yours. The problem is do you have anything to fight for or with? Before the socialists in Washington, D.C. enact more population control laws, disguised as “crime bills” buy what you can. A single shot shotgun and boxes of shells is better than a baseball bat. Non perishable Spam is better than cat food. Don’t think it will get that bad? Think the worst is upon us? Don’t look now, but the storm clouds are still on the horizon, the storm has not even begun to rage yet. While there is still time, buy food, over the counter medicines, Kotex; yes, Kotex, for the obvious reasons, but also for the original reason they were made: blood absorbing bandages for combat, i.e., gunshot, wounds during WWI, bleach for sanitizing and purifying water. Purifying water? Yes, dysentery and other diseases can be prevented if you have safe, clean drinking and washing water. Place two drops of household bleach in a quart of clear water in a canteen or bottle, replace the lid and shake vigorously and let sit for thirty minutes and you have a quart of safe drinking water. For cloudy water, four drops. Taste good? No, but it is safe and people must have water. Buy what ever weapons you can because you will have to rely on yourselves, remember Katrina? With every disaster, the looters, like the rats, come out and prey on the unprepared. And under the “pro-second amendment” Bush administration, the government confiscated guns from honest citizens, while leaving the looters free to roam at will.

The Real Threat to the U.S.

The founding fathers were brilliant in that they understood the real danger to the country they were forming. They did not restrict firearm ownership because they had seen first hand that weapons in the hands of the citizens are good and effective tools. They also set up a form of government that was a Constitutional Republic. The founders understood that the real threat to the continuity of our country was not the threat of idiots with bullets, but of idiots with ballots. That is the real and true danger to our country and our liberties. As it has been pointed out: "when you listen to fools, the mob rules". Case in point, the most recent election of Barack Obama by people who had no clue as to which party currently controlled Congress, could not name their Congressional Representative, nor could identify any policy stand or statement by ANY candidate. All they voted on was the promise of "change" without understanding that "change" is not always positive. With Pelosi, Murtha, McCarthy and the like ruling the House of Representatives; with Reid, Feinstein, Boxer, and Schumer ruling the Senate, and Obama the president, one is reminded of Julius Caeser being appointed Dictator in Perpetuity and the transformation of the Roman Republic into an autocratic empire. Change you can believe in.
