“We’re So Screwed!!”
All over my Facebook feed this morning, people are crying out, “Oh NO!! Another four years of Obama!! We’re screwed! God help us.”
And there are people replying, “Shut up, stupid. Obama is the only way we can stay on good terms with the other nations. Romney would take us back into the dark ages.”
Me? I’m laughing. Seriously, the drama is killing me. Here’s my reply:
The truth is, we woke up today to no change, and that’s all. Just more of the economic, financial, and technological downslide and implosion. Which would’ve happened with Romney, too… just at a different rate with a slightly different spin to the fall.
It’s not ab
out what’s good for the people for either party – it’s what’s good for the people and businesses with the money and the power. It’s been that way for too many years in America. There will take a civil war to make a change, and I don’t see that happening – people don’t want to fight, can’t afford not to go to work, and don’t want to be arrested. So nothing will change. Not until something drastic triggers it (EMP, quake, homeland terrorist act on par with 9/11).
Today? We just wake up to more of the same. Which is a mixed blessing. It means more time to target practice and build up a well-stocked pantry, to learn what we can about the political system and how to thwart it. It also means we’re getting just that much deeper in an unsustainable reality that WILL come to a head, and sooner, every day.
Romney wouldn’t have been a deliverer. He’s a businessman. He’s about money. There is no money, and don’t think for a moment he would’ve stopped Obama’s deficit and turned off the printing presses. There’s no way he would audit the Federal Reserve or take any burden off ‘we the people’ – it’s our spending that keeps the merry-go-round turning, after all… and the revenue from tax is just too great.For the record, Romney wouldn’t have sent us any further back into the dark ages than Obama, either. BOTH of parties (and don’t think this is about a man, the man is just a puppet) are taking apart America, piece by piece. We are so behind the other countries, anymore, it’s laughable. If you don’t believe me, read one of the articles about the now defunct American space program (here or here or here), or about how we’re worrying about putting calories on McDonald’s drive-thru menus while Europe ‘has spent the last decade working to reduce acrylamide levels in food and collecting annual data on member states’ acrylamide vulnerable edibles’ (link) while rejecting the GMO foods we’re dishing out here that cause tumors in lab rats globally (link). You think Romney would’ve fixed these things? Don’t kid yourself.
It was Ron Paul that wanted to audit the Fed, stop the genetic modification of crops, and re-allocate funds in order to help the people, not Romney. And you will recall that it was the REPUBLICANS that changed their own rules in the eleventh hour so that – even though Paul had enough backing to be on the ballot – he could be thrown out as a viable candidate. It’s ROMNEY’s people who did that. It’s not a better team that lost, last night. It’s merely another corrupt team. Both teams are bad, and both need to be thrown out. I found this graphic a while ago, but it is so fitting… and so true.What am I going to do? I’m going to not sweat it. It’s just another day. It’s just more of the same. It’s just a continuation of the last four years – because Obama has already set the stage – he’s not about to pull it all down and engage in a re-dressing of it. If we’re lucky, he’ll just play more golf and things will just slowly slide into catastrophe. If we’re not, he’ll hit the gas and we’ll fly into it. Either way, it’s not like we don’t know where we are headed, Democrat or Republican in office.
I’m still waiting on the SMS. I have heard NOTHING from Him in two weeks. I hate the periods of silence. I am lost… clinging blindly to what I do have, which feels like precious little. But that’s okay – it just makes me hang on tighter, and that’s a good thing. It’s easy to have faith when you see fulfillments, not so much so when you don’t. And this SMS period (the fulfillment of Rev 7:9-end) isn’t over until December 31st. So by my calculations, I have 55 days left in counting down. After that, the SMS is over, for better or for worse. And hey – maybe the Mayans are right. Either way, that’s more relevant and pressing to me than Obama/Romney.

Yep – same ol’, same ol’. But – now O can’t blame things on W – it’s all on him, now. Think he’ll step up? Or find someone else to blame?

I had to laugh when I saw the numbers coming in and how people were acting. It happened the exact same way eight years ago, but then it was with Bush and the Republican party. Ooooh how sad the Dems were back then. Now the Rep are all acting the ~exact same way!~ And in the end, it just doesn’t matter.
I don’t see the country recovering whichever candidate was put in there. But people are still getting by. People still have their ~stuff~. Nothing will change until people are literally shoved out of their comfort zones, and they wake the freak up!
