Gun Sales In America Soar ... AGAIN

Gun Sales In America Soar ... AGAIN
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

The very possible reelection of Barrack Obama for another four years as President of the United States is frightening the living daylights out of Americans. So, they are buying up guns and ammunition at yet another record rate just as they did in 2008. There are already shortages of weapons and ammo in parts of the country.
As folks have observed the Republican primaries, watched the debates, and considered the polls, they are becoming more and more convinced that not only will the republican candidate for President lose, but he will lose big.

Added to that fear is yet another -- that Obama, with another four years and no worries about having to stand for reelection, will toss the Second Amendment out on its ear. His disregard for the US Constitution has become something of legend here in America's southland.

The fear that with a second term of Obama, the country will quickly sink into total anarchy is driving Americans to seek some kind of security and protection for themselves and for their families.

The possibility that Obama will ignore the Second Amendment is not as ridiculous as it might sound at first. By now, Americans have witnessed Obama's abuse of the power of the Executive Order. It is a powerful tool in the hands of any President. But, in the hands of a socialist president, it can be an offensive weapon to strike deep into the heart of American freedom. THAT is why so many Americans no longer feel protected by the US Constitution.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, as the old saying goes. Obama knows that. He has proven to be adept at going around a Congress that would stymie his unconstitutional efforts. He has created "Czars" and agencies and loaded other government committees and boards with "fellow travelers" who will do his bidding.
In that portion of America where people still cling to their God and their guns, notice has been taken of Obama's methods. It did not go unnoticed that he, more often then not, gets his way even when the people's congress defies him.

The folks in that part of America, which lies between the eastern and western coastal zones, take vastly different views of what it means to be free, to be an individual rather than part of some sort of collective. It makes them a different breed from their fellow Americans who live in the great cities on America's eastern and western coasts. They cherish their freedom and their liberty.
When a man can step onto his front porch and see the horizon miles away -- and not feet away -- it gives him an entirely different understanding of the words liberty and freedom. To him, they are not just words. They are God-given rights. He understands that he has a responsibility to protect those gifts even if it means placing his life in jeopardy.

These are the Americans who most feel the encroachment of a power hungry government bent on depriving them of those rights. And they are afraid.
But that fear is not driving them into "hidie-holes." No. It is driving them into revetments and fortifications and in some cases -- bunkers.

In the southern states, distrust of the federal government is embedded in our genome. We are born into this world hard-wired that way. But to see symptoms of this same distrust of government become so evident in all regions of the country is surprising -- and telling.

The folks on the left would like us to believe it is the result of the terrible economy. But that simply is not so.

Americans have seen bad times before. We have dealt with them and come through them stronger as a people and as a nation.

No, it is not the economy driving people to their guns. It is raw, rank, fear of the grasping, power hungry, individuals at the top of our government and the socialist agenda they are driven to see to its successful overthrow of America's capitalist society and the enslavement of the entire nation.

Though many on the left will deny it, it is clear to anyone who wishes to see, that our President is a socialist ideologue. It is equally clear that he has only begun his "fundamental transformation" of America into a socialist nation. He desperately needs another four year term to continue to weave the tentacles of socialism through the very fabric of America and crush her great heart.

As we said earlier, it has become apparent to some Americans that the Republican Party has decided to "punt" this election and look toward the election in 2016. The hierarchy of the party may feel it is the best thing for the party, but it will leave a lot of bitterness amongst conservative voters in America and there WILL be a price exacted in 2016 and beyond. It will not be forgotten that when America was in trouble -- the GOP "A" team chose not to even come out of the locker room.

So when you read the news stories concerning Americans buying guns in record numbers, don't be surprised. They have concluded that Obama will be reelected and they are people preparing for the collapse of the country they love and the reign of anarchy to follow.

How about you?

America’s Tough Times Haven’t Arrived Yet!

America’s Tough Times Haven’t Arrived Yet!
Much worse to come for America
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

****************

I have the uneasiest feeling that the American citizenry is being led down the “Primrose Path” -- a path, I’m afraid, that leads to destruction. I am beginning to think it may very well be time for all of us to ask ourselves if we are prepared to survive in a post apocalyptic America?

I have mentioned before that I foresee a complete collapse of the American economic system. Something, I feel, that will be much, much, worse than the Dot-Com Crash back in 2000, or even the Sub Prime Credit Crash in 2008. No, what I feel is coming will be worse than both these two former crashes added together. In fact, it has, I believe, already begun.

We Americans, indeed, all the citizens of the world, may well be facing a period of lawlessness the likes of which, the world has never experienced before. We are talking worldwide anarchy.

Look at what is happening in Washington, DC, today. There is a breakdown of our form of democracy – a constitutional republic. Our leaders in Congress have chosen to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the constituents they are sworn to represent. Our US government has never in its history been as separated from the people as this congress is. Not only that, but the Congress has become expendable. It is no longer necessary.

Laws are being made and enforced from the Oval Office of the White House completely by-passing Congress. The President’s use of Executive Orders and Czars, answerable only to him, is, effectively, a dictatorship. The US Constitution is viewed by those in power in America today as “an outdated list of suggestions” that needs to be trashed.

That American Dream, we Americans grew up hearing about, is no longer a dream but a nightmare. America’s capitalism is being tossed aside in favor of nation killing socialism. Our children and grandchildren are now carrying a debt load, imposed on them by the government, which they will never be able to pay off. We are headed toward, some say, to a global debt bomb which, when it explodes, will bring worldwide anarchy. Our civilized infrastructure will simply collapse. Here in America the dreaded Great Depression of the last century will be replayed in this century. Some are referring to it as “The Great Depression II.”

Once again, American will be forced to look to themselves for answers on survival. As did our famous Pilgrims and Frontiersmen ancestors we will be called upon to provide for our families as best we can. Preparation is called for. Those preparations should be made NOW!

Each of us should be stockpiling food and necessities for many months of anarchy. If you do not have a firearm, get one, learn how to use it, and be sure to stockpile plenty of ammunition. We are talking self-defense here. If you have food and others do not, you may be called upon to defend your family and your family’s foodstuff.

Hide your guns! The current US Presidential administration has made known its desire to join with the United Nations in an effort to strip you of your constitutional right to own and bear arms. (The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.) Remember, we warned that many in our current government view the constitution as outdated suggestions? They WILL come after our guns, so hide them. You may need them later.

When the collapse comes you will be forced to act in your own self-interest and that of your family FIRST – IF you intend to survive.

Americans have been asleep for the past few generations. We have allowed our government to be overtaken by socialist, and Marxists, and Progressives and today we are reaping what we have sown. We find ourselves on the brink of total collapse. And all this while -- we thought it couldn’t happen here. But it can – it has!

Will there be a Second American Revolution as some are predicting? Frankly, I do not know. I sincerely hope it does not come to that. Many American voices are calling out that if we wish to reestablish a new capitalist society after the collapse, we must consider every avenue. One can only prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Rest assured, there will be no renewal as long as our government remains in the hands of the socialists and Marxists. We can begin the process of removing them from office in the Mid-Term Election in November of 2010.

As Thomas Paine said in “The American Crisis” these are, indeed, “the times which try men’s souls.” These times will also try our determination to survive and our determination to ensure the survival of our country. But FIRST – WE MUST SURVIVE.
