I disagree and I am not a Repub or Dem. I admire the Man running the House, he was smart enough to stay out of the Circus this year and comes across as a Man that actually cares about the Nation. Let me say this my wife, far more Liberal than I am, likes the guy and said she would have loved it if he had run. No "outsider" will ever be elected or if they were they would be at odds with both Parties and nothing of note would be accomplished. Now if a respected member of either Party was to get themselves in a position to influence the future of the Nation for the better and used the system to try and ensure the Nation was on the right track then they might actually accomplish something good. The thing is, sadly, I believe it is too D*mn late to save it, the People have lost their way, it can be slowed but the situation is what it is.
Let me ask a question as an exercise in thought:
The other day I was checking out at a Walmart and the black lady checking me out asked if I was going hunting. I said no and asked her why she asked. She said that I was buying camping and hunting gear, along with normal "stuff", and just wanted to know what was up since she had three children and was concerned why so many people seem to be buying outdoors gear and if something was going to happen that she did not know about. I said I was simply making sure that I had the supplies I might need, then asked her a simple question; Do You Think Things Are Going To Get Better. Her answer was No.
Ask yourself the same question, ask your partner and see what their answer is, are things going to get Better or Worse? Do not reply with an answer to me, simply be honest with yourself and do what you think is best for you and yours. Yes, I know it is extremely pessimistic on my part, it seems as if being pessimistic is becoming far more common these days, either a whole lot of people are crazy or you might want to get yourself buckled in, the ride may be very rough.
Oh, I gave her my email if she had questions and I barely got home before I got a whole long list of questions. We had a good talk so I knew she was serious and not just overreacting. Anyway, had her out last week, with her three girls, talk about sweeties, best mannered young ladies I have seen in a long time. Good eats, lots of discussion on where we are, made a new Friend and set up a shooting day for her next week for her to maybe get a feel for what firearm might be best for her, I have a lot of choices she can try. She has already started building her and the girls BOB's and she looks like she may very well already have a better than even chance if things go badly. heck might even talk to our little group about bringing her within the fold, the wife likes her along with one other member and that always helps. Anyway, it is what many are starting to see, I am hoping more will do so while they still can.
Hey, hope for the best, prepare for whatever.
