So I was out riding my motorcycle most of the last four days. I got some messages from people. I haven't watched the news -- probably won't. I can get the weather forecast off my tablet. See my post from June 28, 2012.
There is no reason for having one's hopes dashed time after time by Lucy's football. That is all that politics is. Government is the problem. Big government is a big problem. Small government, relatively speaking, is a smaller problem.
I did watch The Outlaw Josey Wales. When Josey goes to confronts the Comanche chief Ten Bears, he says, "Governments don't live together. People do." I am working on building relationships at church, with my grandchildren, and with their community.
I'm done. The government can't do anything to scare me. But I have an obligation to pass along the traditions of freedom and the love of liberty to another generation. It's really easier than I expected. In fact, it's mainly having fun.
I don't care if it is marijuana laws, gun laws, abortion laws, freedom of religion amendments or whatever, if your state is doing something to thumb its nose at the federal government, support it.
The central government has separated itself from reality. Don't let crazy people control your life.
Family. Church. Community.

I probably say something similar to what I'm about to say every six months or so... but, yes, I'm over it. This last week proved to me that there is really no hope in turning things around at the federal level. Let's get on with the collapse while I still have energy and health to contribute to the rebuilding.
ReplyDeleteHi Mush
ReplyDeleteI agree with the sentiment completely. It's time to live counter culturally, and to infuse our children and grand children with a vision of how to live differently, with hope and grace.

ReplyDeleteYes, that's something we can all do. And I concur, we should also have fun too. I ain't gonna let a bunch of anti-liberty idiots get me depressed. :)
Thank you, gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny. I was out with my oldest granddaughter and her boyfriend over the weekend. They don't quite believe the way I do about some things, but when we get down to it, they are as anti-tyranny as I am. We were shooting off fireworks and shooting Airsoft guns and shooting firearms. Yesterday my granddaughter had a fakebook post where she was celebrating the fun we had. It really warmed my heart when I heard about it.
