Nah! That is what we have been preparing for since Obama got in. We refer to that season as SHTF. It is why my wife and I moved to the mountains. Oh, BTW, we have some gays up here and they own guns as well. I suspect we will all be side by side when the SHTF. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I remember discussing the terrorism in South Africa with an Afrikaner. It was in the mid-80s and we shared an office building in the Tampa Bay area. The focus of our discussion was the Communist support for the rebels. He wrote that off as insignificant because "blacks kill blacks, it is part of their culture."

Actually, I think the most current zeitgeist is a feeling that a puppet for a foreign power is running the country - and there's a lot of anger that his party doesn't care. There's been a strong blowback against bothsiderism and whataboutism; two memes that have been used to justify everything from ripping families apart to paying porn stars to stay quiet over their affairs with politicians. >That disgust has revealed itself in the rebellion toward FB. That's not disgust. That's progress. The reason horse-and-buggy stables fell out of fashion (and went out of business) was not due to disgust at the whole agrarian way of life. It was because cars became popular. Talk to any teens. Most of them don't use Facebook - they use Instagram or Snapchat. Facebook has had its time, and is now becoming the online media used by grandparents. >Keep in mind that many are not using social media, not responding to poll inquiries and >the like.

I am somewhat taken aback by the lack of understanding to my post. The OP addressed the overflow of hate. Thus I responded with another example of this overflow. The current zeitgeist in America is that more and more people are becoming fed up with progressive liberal BS that claims the intellectual elite know what is best for us all. We are angry with the fact that our personal information is collected, analyzed and then used against us. That disgust has revealed itself in the rebellion toward FB. The fall in the stock price is the manifestation of this disgust. FB may rebound, after all, it is the stock market. Keep in mind that many are not using social media, not responding to poll inquiries and the like. We share information with each other utilizing old fashion methods of communication. Yes, the hate is there and it is flowing both to right as well as to the left. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Check the definition of the zeitgeist. The spirit of the age, according to Fritz Perls. Zeitgeist is German, I know its meaning. So, what does your current zeitgeist mean?

Somewhat off topic but, I think it is related to the current zeitgeist.

In 1941, Trump would have been in the scrap metal business and Japan would have come to him with, "Have we got a great deal for you. The only thing is, it's going to get a little noisy in Hawaii." In 1941 my father worked for the Cincinnati Milling Machine Company. They were doing business with Japan at the time. He remembered Japanese officials visiting the plant.

When’s the last time you called the President “Donald John Trump”? I’m guessing you never have. But we all know how garden variety bigots love to use “Barack Hussein Obama”. We are constantly reminded that he was not raised as an American. Thus the reference to his foreign name. Tell that to a Native American. Not sure of your point there. I have never met a Native American that was not strongly patriotic. Granted, most were veterans. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I thought you were the joke! You always make me laugh. Most folks know me as a jokester. Us Christians make fun of a lot of stuff.

Emphasis mine This group you list are known to be highly left wing. With almost 95% of their political donations going to the Democrats. All credibility is lost after this point Back when I was at the phone company we were union, which was good, but something that pissed off more and more of us was the way they automatically gave the money to the Democrats. If you questioned them on it they'd just say "would you rather we gave it to the Republicans" and go back to ignoring us. What we wanted, but they didn't care, was to not give it to anyone. As it was the Democrats knew they were going to get our money so didn't give a shit about us and the Republicans knew they weren't going to get the money so they didn't give a shit about us. Why do they have to give it to someone? Why not bank it, create a list of things that the rank and file wanted from politicians and give it to those who did those things that helped us. They could have a committee that said "this guy passed that law, let's give him this amount". That sort of thing. But no. One guy, a guy who had a lot of clout in Athens among his fellow phone company employees, started making some real noise about this stuff once including where the hell is all the money going to, not just the political donations. Darrell wasn't just another loud mouth, people listened to him and he could make a difference. A car full of Union Officials drove from Cleveland out to his house in New Marshfield one night and after that he not only refused to talk about it but made a point of mentioning to everyone and anyone that he wasn't talking about it. That being one small reference to the evil of the Democratic Party. As near as I can tell, it all started with Andrew Jackson when he made land deals with his cronies to get the gold away from the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw and Seminole peoples.

you got that defense down pat there Bill. You really think that makes any kind of difference? If you do fine. But it doesn't affect me in the least! We have to cut billvon some slack. He is working in a high-stress job, lives in a sinking state, and is trying to monitor a dynamic internet forum. He has to maintain a mental file of standard responses or he would suffer a meltdown.

Yes, it is SOP in today's world. If we attempt to interfere in other countries we have to expect the same back at us. Ron, I could give a fuck less if they tried to influence us or if we tried to influence us but it's our fucking country and our fucking team. When they come at us we nip it in the fucking bud and put the fuckers down for the count. Are you in or are you out because I will not stand here and listen to you make excuses for actions that other countries take against ours. Oh, calm down DJL. We live in a world of hackers. They exist everywhere. We just have to have better cybersecurity then they do. I am certain we are working on it. Julian Assange and Wikileaks proved that we have weak safeguards. Some believe he was justified in what he did and still does. I am not making excuses. I am merely a watchman on the wall. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Good news You've stated categorically that your political stance is based on opposing communism. Please explain how you think you can rationally hold that belief while still proclaiming the communist state-run media as 'real news'? That's the craziest thing you've said for a while. Good news because Pravda put a good spin on the meeting between Trump and Putin. So far as I can tell, that is what is important. We do not want the two most powerful world leaders insulting one another in public. I suspect the goal for each is to get the other to drop their guard. I don't think that will happen. However, if Putin thinks that President Trump blinked it could work to our benefit later. An inflated self-confidence on Putin's part could provide a chink in his armor.
