I'm done.
This nation, the nation I served is not worth my breath anymore. Whether what he says is true or not, this life was needless spent.
Not what I served to protect. I wish I never served.

Just image all the fun and profit one can have developing the IT framework to round people up to go to isolation camps where they can be re-educated all because they refused to be inoculated.
Jess Smiley (Fallacies of Vision)...and it coming like a freight train and no in position is willing to stop it.
I really think the answers are yes. There are obviously huge problems. But things really are good.
Don't put in 12 hours a day if it's for those people telling you "this is a high-profile career make-or-break project." Money talks; BS walks. Despite all the problems, there are still a lot of fun and lucrative opportunities in the US.
We never won WWII it just shifted to an infiltration of our great land. FUQ you Kissmyassinger and the rest of the NAZI vermin. RIP USA!
I count in life one of my finest moments being getting chewed out by Stabacow’s Chief of Staff. I shut the power off on a conference she was holding. Oh my God the entitled whining I got to listen to. It was either that or let the magic smoke out of the transformer feeding the hotel. These so-called servants truly think they are our betters. If only I hadn’t been working for someone else at the time. I would have enjoyed laying into her. “You do NOT shut the power off on a United States Senator!” Whatever....call my boss and get out of my way.
Enjoy the Decline
The principals penned to parchment by the Founding Fathers are among the most valued. I served for me - the educational opportunities and benefits afforded me...and to see the world a bit. It wasn't until later in life that I sought greater value for the time when I willingly did not live as a free man.
In my opinion, free will is the apex of existence. The individuals right to determine his own course, his own beliefs, his own thoughts, his own 'enough' in life unimpeded by others. The society each of us is born into takes from that free will to maintain a semblance of order, offering security by adding constraints. That degree is unavoidable if you choose to remain in a society . The minimal government envisioned by the Framers to ensure as much free will as feasible within society is long dead. Now they seek to define each individuals existence by stripping almost all free will. Unacceptable. Intolerable.
There is a difference between giving up on the world around you and giving up on yourself, no?
The only sacrifice I made was the temporary willing suspension of my Constitutional rights. Unlike many, and I'd have it no other way but voluntary, I stood up willing to risk my safety and even give my life if called on.Naive? Perhaps, but I did love Reagan and I was wrapped up in the sentiment of the time. Besides it was a good thing for me to do from a selfish standpoint.
@Rex_Little While I didn't ask for anyone thanks and I don't make more of my peacetime service than what it was (chess game with the Soviets), I do appreciate the tip of the hat even if I didn't serve in a war or skirmish or policing act. I was fortunate.
Correct. The police are not your friend. Have as little contact with them as possible.
I agree -- much of the modern day technology simply satiates the needs of the Right Now.
Things were better 40+ years ago (I was there) in that what you saw - perceived through senses - was much closer to reality. Nowadays, much of what is perceived is a sort of hologram -- fake news, fake science, fake pandemics, fake systemic racism, hell -- even a huge glop of the population thinks (well no, they don't think, they believe) that man never set foot on the moon.
I hope that you can put those 12 hour days out to pasture and get to your Gulch. The sooner the better. My personal Gulch consists of getting time on the snow (climbing), road trips ... sometimes with minimal planning ... and tuning out from all the spewage that is pushed out to the cattle in terms of MSM.
Please keep on sharing your perspectives. I think that wisdom is the accumulation of productive perspectives.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
Will the anti-police rhetoric that's been foaming out of the rabid mouths in Congress add this as illustrative example? I expect not.
1 Democrat socialist tyrants Since no Democrat bucks the throne, all Democrats are included.
2 Republican Tories -dedicated to power and the current environment. Rinos
3 Constitutionalists: loyalists to the backbone. The Constitution.
4 (Add another if needed)
1) Leave Trumps Immigration policies in place
2) No new taxes or elimination of Trump's tax cuts
3) No new regulations or elimination of Trump's regulation cuts.
4) No national lockdowns
5) No mail in ballots
6) No voting without picture ID
If The politicians wont at least NOT do these things, there will be hell to pay in the future
The playing field has changed, but the game is not over. The Supreme Court is in conservative hands. Election security is now a front-and-center issue, and will likely improve by the next round in 2022. The entertainment Industry and big media are hard left, but that has been largely true since the 1950’s, and their bias is now obvious rather than hidden. Trust in government is at an all-time low. The lockdowns are becoming increasingly unpopular, and are increasingly being blamed on the Dems. Because of those same lockdowns, home schooling is making a big comeback.
Since the Dems are now running the country, voters will hold them responsible for whatever damage they cause in the next two years. Their margin in both houses of Congress is razor-thin, and can easily be reversed in 2022.
Although there’s no guarantee that things will get better, I don’t see any reason to abandon the political and ideological battlefield just yet.
