Elections 2006
Well, that sure sucked, didn't it?
Freedom really took a hit here. If you don't believe that, you're seriously delusional. Let's look at my predictions for the "First 100 days:" 1. Democrats will raise taxes. That's simply what they do. Sure, they've been pleased with the massive increases in government spending over the last two years, but they literally cannot have enough money to spend. They will absolutely vote to raise taxes. This is their #1 priority. Bush will give token resistence, but don't expect him to actually veto, well, anything. He will whine and complain, but he'll sign the laws and raise taxes. 2. Democrats will attempt to destroy the American citizen. They will vote to allow all criminal aliens to become full citizens. At best, they may require these new citizens to pay a $1 processing fee. They will also likely be exempt from paying taxes and I won't be surprised if they're given the right to vote. Bush will not only support these actions, he will likely lead the charge. He's been trying to legalize criminals for years, and now he's got allies in the Congress. 3. Democrats will do all they can to surrender in Iraq. They will have trouble, because even though they don't understand that they're not in charge of the military, they will still try and get out. They will reduce funding for the military to the point where the military simply cannot do their job. Then Bush will be forced to withdraw the troops. But wait, all hope is not lost! Seriously, please keep reading if you've read this far. I would like to extend an invitation. To all those in Mecklenburg County who voted for Jim Puckett; to all those in Virginia that voted for Allen in Virginia; to all those who voted for conservative candidates and lost; to all those who are displeased with the direction this country is headed; to all those who want freedom; I personally invite you to do what the founders intended. I invite you to advance freedom. I invite you to withdraw you support (and money) from the moochers who want to crush you and only want you for your money. I invite you to vote with your feet. Please take a look at The Free State Project.Are you frustrated at the loss of freedom and responsibility in America, while the growth of government and taxes continues unabated? Do you want to live in strong communities where your rights are respected, and people exercise responsibility for themselves and in their dealings with each other? If you answered "yes" to those questions, then the Free State Project has a solution for you.
Seriously, folks, this is the only hope for America today. If you honestly love freedom and you are willing to DO SOMETHING about it, I strongly encourage you to go join the Free State Project. This isn't just blogging and complaining, this is action. The people who move to New Hampshire WILL be putting their words into action. This CAN work, but only if you who love freedom are actually willing to DO SOMETHING. There were over 1,000,000 people who voted for Allen in Virginia. Only 20,000 are needed in New Hampshire to really make a serious change. Come on, Allen supporters, withdraw your support from your Democrat Senator and go to New Hampshire. Over 900,000 voted for Kean in NJ. Head to New Hampshire and let those in New Jersey who dislike freedom fend for themselves without your help. Don't worry about all the excuses. Go ahead and complain that you can't find a job, that you don't like the weather, that your family won't like it -- I'm sorry, but all that means is that you're not really serious about liberty and freedom. If you honestly want freedom; if you really believe in "Live Free or Die," your only choice now is to join with the Free State Project. Any other option is just surrender.

Ogre, I empathize with your disgust and disappointment, but unfortunately that's not a viable option for me or my family. Sometimes, you just have to live with what's on the plate before you and do the best you can with what you have.
I don't mean (at ALL!) to be flippant, but just Who do you think is in control, anyway? Don't we have His promise that all things will work together for good, to those who love Him and are the called according to His purpose?
God has permitted this, but He's still guiding history, and we know who's going to win: Him. So, let us each do the task set before us, as we understand it, and let God take care of the rest. If the Free State Project is where you belong, that's great.
[claws]But please, if I choose another option, DON'T tell ME it's "just surrender," OK? [/claws]

You always have options. Always.
And I'm not questioning Who is in charge -- but what if this is His way of telling people to gather together in one place, where there might be freedom?

I agree that I have options, Ogre. However, dear brother, my choices of options are NOT the same as yours, and the choice I make may not be the choice you make.
Sure, moving up to NH is a lovely idea, and the FSP may be a worthy program... But it is NOT an option on MY plate. The option I choose to take is to stand my ground, and do my best where God has placed me.
That. Is NOT. "Surrender."

Okay, okay, it's not surrender. Then again, Don Qixote never surrendered, did he? 
And that's not an insult, I assure you, my efforts could put Don to shame!

My illustrious governor has already said he'll be raising taxes. . . lovely. Like my bankbook won't take enough of a hit with Dimmocrats in power.
But, this election has taught me something - you don't need any real ideas to win - just say "I'm running for change" and voila you win.
Ahh well. Time to start formulating my evil plan to run for office . . .

Well, I look at this in a different light. Those whom God calls to follow in our pioneer forefather's footsteps like Moses and Abraham, will be lead there. People like me, who knew nothing about this project or the promise of this place, and only new of the stirring of their heart and the longing of their spirit for a place where those of us who need to escape the Sodom's of this world can find a spiritual home and support (NH).
Then there are those who will be lead by God to surrender to their discontent and frustration of their present government and will be moved through God's will to action in their own communities, as his army of truth and power, to create positive change where we live.
In both situations it's the same responsibility - work and change - all lead by God for the furthering of his perfect Kingdom.

I cannot believe that Black is still not out of it here in NC. Apparently there are enough Dhimmicrats in his district who do not care about what he has done as well as alledged to do.
And you are right, the Dems in Congress will try and surrender.
I do not think that Bush will allow the taxes to be raised. I fully expect him to whip out the veto pen on almost all dem legislation.

Hey Oddy, you've got the secret formula. Oddy for Governor: Because she'll change stuff.
Good points, Michele. Everyone has their part -- we just have to figure out which part is our own.
Black will still be in office until the feds finally catch up with him. The the Dem governor will name his "replacement." Look for Dan Blue to "lead" the House.
But I will be surprised if Bush uses the veto. I think the Dems will raise taxes in a bill that gives money to the military or something -- "forcing" him to sign it.

And when will Pel-Ho-Si' "first 100 hours" shooting spree begin.

Sorry, I have to disagree on the taxes, Ogre. I just don't think he will allow Dems to play that game.

I certainly hope you're right Teach -- but I wouldn't bet any money.
Ginger -- by December, 2008.

If "HE" is the force behind the recent upset of power then "HE" must be telling us that this is the beginning of the Apocolyspe.

That is most certainly a possibility!

Linking to me in there - ouch!!! I think you specifically meant here:

I shall have to begin persuading the wife. Perhaps I can also talk her into letting me buy into a flying club so that we can fly home frequently (a flying club is a group of pilots that collectively own airplanes, perhaps 30 people own 4 planes for instance.

See? There's all kinds of ideas. And from what I've been reading and seeing, the people of NH are VERY welcoming, and the Free State Project people are even MORE welcoming! At least you won't have to worry about adjusting to the cold if you move!

I think that New Hampshire is the Wrong Place as Somalia is sending Islamists Somalis there to take over small towns. Its only a matter of time before the state constitution is Sharia Law.

I think California or Oregon will fall to Sharia before NH.
