Dumbed Down....a living, functioning example

I posted the below video and got the usual responses, some of which I published. Of the responses, one in particular stood out. It was written by what I can tell is a 19th Ward supporter who didn't get the point I was trying to make. Neither did he understand the mechanics of how a siege would take place. I believe he was reacting to the video and a few of the comments. His comment resulted in a multitude of responses, most of which I didn't post. 

This guy, who actually graduated from a high school despite reading nothing more than comic books, is a closed mind to possibility. I would rank him on a par with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. I urge him not to be posting dumb thoughts here. His comment is posted below. 

Most of the goo goos that write this shit are subsidized by some kind of grant, often from government agencies. What's written on paper is often theory and references are often their interpretations of other goo goos written interpretations. As such, they rarely offer suggestions to halt the big BOO they're scaring you with. We live in a great neighborhood and I'd shoot any bastard I caught trying to cut my power lines. Enough said.

TRUMP WALL Shutdown - CIVIL WAR Is Coming?


Something to view and contemplate.

Some people will say this is racist. Perhaps it is. On the other hand, consider that maybe it's a normal human reaction to Democratic party policies that are essentially racist. 

These days, it is common for presidential candidates, mayoral candidates, etc. to brag about how their only interest is "people of color". That is not inclusion politics and will eventually lead to civil disorder when they get back into power and become abusive.

    Good morning all. I have to admit I was not happy to see this topic. It's something I had considered during the preTrump days. I feel compelled to respond.

    Civil war is a very real possibility. It won't be like the war between the states and it won't last that long. Think of it as an embargo on shipments of food, fuel and electricity to certain hotspots. Metro area such as Chicago, LA, New York, etc. The trucking industry will be shut down because of snipers along the interstates, gas pipelines will be turned off and the wires on the grid will be cut. The military (composed of MAGA supporters) won't be able to reopen the supply lines. Imagine a winter like this. How long can the inhabitants in a hotspot last?

    The problem for Ward 19 residents is that we live in one of those hotspots. Keep in mind that shutting off utilities is not an exact science. How many of you are prepared? How many of you have just a weeks supply of food? How many of you are unarmed because you choose to rely on the police for protection? What will you do? Where will you go? What will happen? Maybe you will just drive out to the countryside. That excusion will be good as long as you have gas. Maybe you will just drive to the cottage in Michigan ore Wisconsin? What if the state borders are "temporarily" closed?

    Responsible people cannot ignore what is happening and speculate "everything should be ok". That's just denial and may wind up being costly. Responsible people need to prepare for what we hope and pray never happens.

    Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are taught principles of self-reliance as a way of life so they are prepared to withstand difficulties and challenges such as natural disasters, illness, job loss and other unplanned events. Self-reliance incorporates education, health, employment, family home production and food storage, family finances and spiritual strength.

    The Church provides an Emergency Preparedness and Response Guide to help families and local congregations prepare for emergency situations. This guide helps families and congregations learn how to plan and prepare for emergencies and how to act and respond in each phase of an emergency—before, during and after.
    Church members are also encouraged to have a supply of food and water for times of emergency. Latter-day Saints and others can purchase food storage at one of the Church’s 100-plus home storage centers (different than a bishops’ storehouse) in the U.S. and Canada. The Church advises its members to build a supply of food such as wheat, rice and beans that will last a long time. Properly packaged and stored, these items can last 30 years or more.

    It seems that socialism is like an infectious disease that everyone has to get ill of to develop immunity. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn pointed out, “For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while for many people in the West, it is still a living lion.”

    This dead dog, expelled from Russia, acquired a new life in the United States and regained vitality to become a living lion within the Democratic Party.


    The 2018 Democratic victory in the midterms brought new Marxist arrivals to the House of Representatives who are interpreting the elections as an endorsement of socialist policies. They dropped all the pretenses — no liberals, no progressives — they are proud Marxist-Leninists driven by the ideology and committed to converting this country into the United Socialist States of America.

    This militant crowd is comprised of uninformed and misinformed people looking at themselves as unfortunate, underpaid, underappreciated victims of capitalism, overwhelmed with jealousy that there are people who are everything they are not.

    They are the face of new Democratic Party – “We have been naught, we shall be all.”

    The Democratic Party explicitly casts itself as an inheritor of Marxism. The Democrats’ demands are almost total inversion of the Constitutional arrangements and traditional American values. The economic redistribution, open borders, repeal of the Second Amendment, the abolition of the Electoral College, the election of a president by popular vote, voting rights and free health care to illegal aliens are just part of the comprehensive strategy of putting the harness of socialism around the necks of the American people.

    The driving force of the Democratic Party is economic “inequality” — the argument socialists have never tired of invoking since the dawn of capitalism. The mantra brought into play by the French Revolution — “War to the palace, peace to the cottage” — is alive and well today in the Democratic Party. The seductive idea of wealth redistribution has proved to be irresistible to the masses discontented by the inequities. The philosophy of envy and siphoning from the rich appeals to a large segment of the population that does not realize that the definition of “rich” is a spiral of devolution that eventually will reach every business and every individual who works for a living.


    From the Democrats’ perspective, President Donald J. Trump is a disrupter of what had been a smooth transition to the bright socialist future. In a concerted effort to denigrate the President and paralyze executive authority, they are branding him a racist and blatantly subvert every program on his agenda. To render him ineffective, they actively support a collective mania for ever more sweeping investigations of dubious claims, rumors, unsubstantiated allegations and innuendos that has descended over the President, his family, his associates, and nominees. People who cannot even spell “impeachment” demand one without any substantiation. They act as if their fiat is turning the country into chaos, or as Lenin called it, “revolutionary environment.”

    Unfortunately, the contemporary political thinking of the American people is more backward than that of the Russians or Chinese, and too many of them are living in a flat-earth, know-nothing, Jesse Watters’ world. Neither education, nor upbringing, nor life experience prepares Americans for grasping the veracity of the socialist assault on the American way of life.

    Thanks to the fatuity of the American public, there has not been any effective comprehension of the totality of the assault nor its enervating effect upon national vigilance. We may surmise that the socialist dragon has come of age and socialism in America, be it democratic or otherwise, no longer looks like an exceedingly lofty ambition.

    The great historical irony is that unlike the Russian people who understood the perils of socialism and fought the Bolsheviks in a bloody three-year civil war that by some estimates took fifteen million lives, the freedom-loving Americans keep voting themselves into socialism.

    Indeed, Communist leaders from Lenin to Brezhnev are sardonically grinning from hell and watching in disbelief as what was impossible for the Soviet Union to accomplish with all its military might and nuclear arsenal is being endorsed by the duly elected American legislators.

    Fifty-five years ago, in 1964, Ronald Reagan gave a speech on behalf of presidential candidate Barry Goldwater that would become known as “A Time for Choosing.” His ardent warning of the advance of socialism in the United States resonates even more today:

    "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."

    Did we?

      You my friend are a f----n idiot. I'd venture to say you are a pay roller as your writing indicates. When and if the time comes, you will not be at the ward office defending it, you will be hiding in your basement. You are at heart, a wimp.

      First off I pick my friends of which you would never be one. You sir, are a jag off. Live your life, but spend as much time as you please, reading horseshoe written by "senior fellows" that posture themselves as seers of what the world we live in will become. No wimp you douche, just someone who lives his life as he sees fit and doesn't worry about some pseudo intellectual thinks/writes without verification. So shove his theories and forecasts of doom up your ass, there's plenty of room up there once you take your head out.
