    Their is little, to no, difference between our choices. Again.

    Most incumbents are looking favorable for re-election here.

    The sheep fully understand the theory about voting themselves the most benefits, breads and circuses.

    I’ve never felt so, crap can’t even find a word that accurately describes the feeling our freaking country leaves in the pit of my stomach.

    I’m now fully into embracing the doom, there is no other option, it is 100% obvious – to me at least – that there is no hope of “fixing” anything. My only hope now is that our illustrious rulers aren’t the monsters I believe them to be.

    ‘Cause we all know the sheeple are exactly the linear-thinking, mental midgets, we all think they are.

    baaaaa, baaaa, jack-boot, baaa, baaa, baaa, *BOOM!*

    Let’s just get this shit over with.

    I think I realized it more than a year ago and all data since then has only served to confirm the realization. It did and continues to cause a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach as well. I wonder if Obama Care covers that?

    “My only hope now is that our illustrious rulers aren’t the monsters I believe them to be.”

    This is the million dollar question! I’ve been consoling myself with the idea that the military will not fire on its own people. This is based mostly on my experience of spending literally the first half of my life on military bases around the world but as others (ecliptix I think) have pointed out, the military has changed. Today I read this: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/7/the-civil-war-of-2016/ That sickening feeling is now worse.

    30 years…..ok, at deficits of $1.6T per year at present, and assuming we can keep interest rates at 0% until 2042, we will have a balanced budget that year, and can begin whittling away at that $65 trillion in total debt! Woo hoo!

    I_S, yep, American soldiers firing on us, is a question. Seems like the Occupy protests and Kent State, to name but a couple, already prove what they will do.

    Now, throw in Bushie’s “agreements” (treaties that were never voted on) with Canada and Mexico to “borrow” each others’ troops in case of “National Emergency.”

    I’m not so naive. The US military, private contractors (see Katrina aftermath), Canadian and Mexican armies won’t have one iota of guilt over shooting my son, nor yours.

    Sucks, but like most of our brave new reality, ’tis probably all too true.

    @TeresaE – Occupy and Kent state show that the police will open fire, but I think the larger part of America’s armed forces would stand done before they would fire on a protest.

    TPC

    You may very well be correct concerning the CURRENT crop of soldiers.

    But you know what happens when a soldier doesn’t obey orders? They get rid of that one, and replace him with one that will. There is never a shortage of psychopaths that the military can’t find to do its bidding.

    TPC, there’s a long history of soldiers firing on American civilians going back to the founding of the nation.
    BTW, the Kent State murders where committed by US soldiers and not police.

    Throw Out Your Crap
    Posted by Karen De Coster on August 12, 2012 04:38 PM

    This is an inspiring TEDx talk from a young man who realized, early in life, that the pursuit of stuff through debt wasn’t the kind of life he wanted to continue to live. He repeats the great Nigel Marsh quote, “There are thousands and thousands of people out there living lives of quiet, screaming desperation who work long, hard hours at jobs they hate, to enable them to buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like.”

    The US budget will NEVER be balanced. It is mathematically impossible, even if fed.gov spending is cut by 50%. You will have to basically get “rid” of all the illegal aliens immediately, kill off everybody over the age of 65 and tax everybody else at about 50%.

    Hey! That can be the Embrace The Doom Party Platform!!!

    Seriously, the fed.gov has become soooo large and intrusive, supporting at least 1/3 of the population either directly or indirectly, that to suddently withdraw that level of support will cause a national temper tantrum that will burn down the country. We need a very slow reset, over several generations, but we don’t have that much time.

    As to the idea of the military firing on citizens, fooey. There are 100 million gun owners in the US now who have been stocking up like crazy and are as mad as hell. If DHS buys 750 million rounds of ammo, that is only 2.5 bullets per citizen, or 7.5 per gun owning citizen, the latter who will be firing back FROM THEIR OWN TURF.

    As to foreign or UN troops? Double fooey. The UN troops are almost all pressganged draftees from the bottom of the barrel of some Third World shit hole and are famed for their ineptitude, incompetence and corruption. At the first shots fired, they are gonna strip off those stupid blue easy-to-see uniforms and throw their rubber bullet guns on the ground and pretend to be recent immigrants. Since most of them probably want to immigrate here anyways.

    No, our worst enemy is the complete folly of the US fed.gov’s monetary policy. Add in the incestuous relationship between Wall Street and the fed.gov, a sprinking of radical Islam and the entire mushbrain libtard progressive agenda, well, time to Embrace the Doom.

    Oh, and we are supposed to be “worried” about US troops doing urban training?

    Triple fooey.

    No centrally commanded national army in the last 500 years has defeated a local insurgency. Especially an insurgency fighting on their own turf and armed to the teeth (either by another country or by themselves).

    We are doing soooo well against the insurgency in Iraq, after all, This while the US military is still the preeminent fighting force in human history. It was a local insurgency that kicked our asses in Viet Nam and the colonists were basically a local insurgency defeating the British.

    You have to go back to Roman times when the Roman troops basically killed every man over the age of 15, enslaved everybody else and burned the town to the ground. This scorched policy is ultimately self defeating because you have now destroyed the economic unit that should be supporting your large standing army. The other locals are not intimidated by this approach, they only become more pissed off and now you have another insurgency to squelch. You go broke with this approach. Hey! That sounds familiar!!

    No, I do not fear the US military and/or foreign troops firing on American citizens, at least for very long. They are outnumbered about 300 to 1, they are at the end of a very long and vulnerable supply line and, most of all, most of them are NOT going to risk their lives for the POS douchebags that make up the US civilian government.

    Hope- No centrally commanded national army in the last 500 years has defeated a local insurgency.

    There was this little skirmish mislabeled by state sponsored historians as a Civil War wherein the insurgents for lack of food, finance, weaponry got their asses nearly wiped off the map,didn’t you hear.
    And comparing Iraqi insurgents who are so thoroughly acclimated to deprivation they don’t even know they are deprived is no the sames as Americans who die from heat/cold exposure at the slightest fluctuation of temps and have never went more than a few hours a day missing a meal is stretching the imagination at best.

    What would happen if the US Thugacracy created choke points on all interstates and took total control over the food supply.

    Britain and the US have plenty of experience in starving large populations into submission going back to the 1800′s and this all done without real time communication.
    Logistically rebel bands would not stand a chance. Turn off the electricity and stop food shipments and most pot bellied Americans will give up their entire family as rebels to for a cold bath and a piece of stale pizza.

    My wife and I have taken a very similar approach to life over the last 6 years (the first year I was with her she was still doing her “keep up with the Jones’” thing). Its one of the sole reasons we haven’t had to go bankrupt and were able to complete our degrees.

    As for that Ted talk, its funny you link it because my wife watched it and wouldn’t shut up about it.

    I’m not materialistic, so living humbly while experiencing life is right up my ally. The only “things” I need are a decent house, my books and a good dog.

    In the case of two of those they hardly qualify as things. Books are a physical representation of the often abstract ideas contained within (an experience!) and dogs are more like family members.

    I guess a reliable pickup would be nice too.

    Much is being said about Paul Ryan being a member of Generation X.

    It kind of makes me wonder why he’s willing to throw his own generation under the bus. He doesn’t want to change ANYTHING for people over the age of 55.

    So here’s what we have: A big crowd uses a party room for a huge, drunken party. They leave an enormous, disgusting mess everywhere. Then, they go home.

    The next, much smaller, group was going to use that room for a party, too, but instead of enjoying their own party, they spend their entire evening futilely trying to clean up after the previous group.
