Then I got on that morphine and began listening to my friends. I thought it was irrational to believe in my own dreams and sold the thousands of rounds. I mean, I live in the forest. It's not St. Louis. <br /><br />Do you suppose that Islam will just let go of the United States in 2016? <br /><br />Take a look at this. President George W. Bush holding hands with a Saudi king and President Obama bowing to him. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/05/the-u-s-is-supporting-the-most-violent-muslim-terrorists-in-order-to-wage-war-for-oil.html<br /><br />I need money to pay for necessary equipment for the farm. Also, Congress wants to tax me for burning wood, since my chimney contributes all that pollution to cause global warming. But I have to burn wood, because it is unseasonably cold!<br /><br />Also, I need to get a water well dug with a hand pump, because one day I will be taxed for the water that I already buy. I'll be taxed for my hand pump. I'll be taxed for the rain on my land. I'll be taxed for the sweat from my pores.<br /><br />I hear that the price of well drilling has doubled in the last few years. No doubt to pay for all those taxes!<br /><br />I fear things are only going to get more complicated. I still need a good deer rifle. I gotta do my own hunting and for now, shooting a deer on my land is free. For now. It's a taxing effort.<br /><br />Old fellas tell me stories of their grandfathers smoking weed for their rheumatism. The old days of a guy having a farm, a rifle and a good knife is coming back, I fear. And I have a lot of fear. The news is full of it. It makes everyone want to smoke a joint. Just pay the tax.<br /><br />Defense experts say that I am a high priority target by criminals for my age. The professionals say that the attack is most likely to be sudden, swift and probably in my yard or garden. <br /><br />When everything crashes, hard drug addicts will need their fix. Cops tell me that they will target the disabled for their drugs.<br /><br />The VA and Obama doctors want to disarm the disabled. Statistics say that Blacks are most likely to rob us old folks and that would be racial profiling to defend ourselves. <br /><br />So the most that I can do is raise some vegetables, fruit, create some music, hunt and fish. I'm a Christian and I might be dangerous for things I know. These are weird times and the old rules don't seem to apply anymore. I fear we are on the verge of utter chaos when people completely lose confidence in government and law has no meaning to hold criminals back from complete destruction. <br /><br />It's a dark day with a winter storm coming in and Jen is hungry.

Remember? Well now we have Cali that is having some food growing difficulties. <br /><br />What if there are food shortages and cuts to veterans, military, welfare, EBT and another bailout to Wall Street and banks? Imagine the events that will occur from that. Pray for favorable weather for growing food.<br /><br />Well, legalizing marijuana will help. People can forget they live in the United States.

Something that could never have happened if politicians like, Obama, Gore had demanded that everyone accept current science as "SETTLED" back when there were only 9 known planets. Mocking, ridiculing any who dared challenged the 9 planet absolute as "flat-earthers", the way they are doing with anyone who dares challenge what they are selling as climate change. Of course our climate is changing...It's ALWAYS been changing, one time the planet was covered in ice, which melted long before the industrial revolution. <br /><br />Fortunately,some are starting to see through politicians phony claims that only they can TAX THE PLANET COOLER if only we hand them more of OUR money.

According to Snopes, the government orders ammunition in bulk and saves 80 percent of the cost that consumers would pay. <br /><br />Social Security ordered 174,000 rounds a few years ago in preparation to shoot starving men, women and children when they cut welfare and food stamps.<br /><br />I believe that the government is engaged in a war of attrition against the American people right now. They have lots of poor folks addicted to entitlements.<br /><br />The thing is, hollow point ammo is illegal to use in wartime and yet, the government has more respect for the Taliban than they do the American poor. <br /><br />Population control.
