“It’s O.K., it’s O.K. to be afraid”

“When bad things happen, it does cause anxiety and fear”
Hillary Clinton - yesterday - trying to react to Trump (as it seems EVERYONE in decision making positions is compelled to do ..interesting).

She is trying to explain the behavior of the American people (in leaning Trump **she assumes** out of fear and paranoia) and how Trump is not just leading, but INCREASING his lead with each generation of what would previously have been OUTRAGE.
“But then you pull yourself together and, especially, if you want to be a leader of our country, and you say:‘O.K., what are we going to do about it? How are we going to be prepared?’”
What NONE of them get, what NONE of them seem to understand is that Trump and gun sales of 57,000 a day are NOT fear.

It is the prudent preparation caused by federal INACTION across 7 years of failure after failure and retreat after retreat.

We live in a rural area as far to the north in the lower 48 as you can get. After watching what happened in the south after Katrina we went out and bought a generator which could power everything then wired it RIGHT INTO the circuit breaker panel of the house, keep 20 gallons of gasoline around for it, and switched to propane on everything,we could with tanks WE could take to refill stations OURSELVES.

We didn’t do it because we were afraid.

We have used it for more than a day TWICE in the 3 years since. Once it was almost 5 days (massive ice storm).

And if you walked outside, all you could hear was the sound of generators.

SWEET-AH. Confidence in neighbors, society and culture. And the ability to help those without. IF ASKED.

The nation, in SEEMINGLY going to Trump is doing JUST THAT.

Too many others seeking the office have boxed themselves into the patterns of the last 7 years.

The final result set here is DESTINED already.

We will either choose someone who will make our preparations here family by family not compulsory, or we will suffer death until we do, because those who cannot stand our way of life (making up laws without regard for the Quran) will insist on killing us, until we do.

Or until each attack gets them shot to death, or chased down by the populace.

I vote for the people who, after all, VOLUNTEERED to protect us - wiping out TOTALLY those who hate us, without compunction, a la Sherman.
But in case HRC gets elected…
22 shots. Pour encourager les autres.
So, whoever is president, I have the words of a top performer for you.

You write - Too many others seeking the office have boxed themselves into the patterns of the last 7 years.


I RESPOND - Yes, this is true. Almost everyone, at almost all times, are people of their time.

Most Republicans have sat back and allowed Barack Obama to define our times. At best they just react by compromise.

But his ideas are so outlandish that compromise only gets him what he wants - THE LONG MARCH.

We need someone who will look at the direction Obama has taken us, and take us almost the exact opposite direction.

Unfortunately for all of us, the only person who has the balls to do that at this point, is Trump

It could be worse; we should thank God it is not Marine Le Pen.
