And the peace of mind of all the world, you need to turn in those evil guns right now.
Never mind that just over 129 years ago our peace loving government disarmed almost 300 of our citizens with heroic bravery.

December 29, 2012 marked the 122nd Anniversary of the murder of 297
Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation
in South Dakota. These 297 people, in their winter camp, were murdered
by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to
confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection.” The
slaughter began after the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in
their firearms. The Calvary began shooting, and managed to wipe out the
entire camp. 200 of the 297 victims were women and children. About 40
members of the 7th Cavalry were killed, but over half of them were
victims of fratricide from the Hotchkiss guns of their overzealous
comrades-in-arms. Twenty members of the 7th Cavalry’s death squad, were
deemed “National Heroes” and were awarded the Medal of Honor for their
acts of [cowardice] heroism.
With, I have been told, approximately 1/16 Cherokee blood running through my veins, and the rest consisting of the blood of US citizens going back to at least the early 1700's I'm really reassured by the care and concern our government is showing for us.
Whew!.
I've been hunkered down here in the Kudzu Grotto (KG) since before Santy Claws time worrying about that there Financial Cliff (FC) that all those news people on the Big Rectangular Must Have Information Box (BRMHIB) sitting there so smugly catty cornered in the blue room, even those crackpots on the Fox beauty pageant channel, have been yammering on since the election. Even to the point of keeping my haid down for more than a week after they claimed they'd fixed it forever and ever, amen! I've seen too many rabbits shot down like the furry raskals they are cause they just couldn't sit there, all hunched up and hidden like, til those evil gun toting, bible fearing, kindergarden killers walked right on by with their eyes clouded over cause they know so damned much totin' they ass haulter AK's.
I ain't gonna be the first rabbit to run just cause some pompadoured talking head said everything was just fine now.
And that may be a good thing since I jest took a look at how many gazillion greenbacks is gonna be sweated by us field hands for the benefit of our betters and masters. Which will enable them to pay off all our IOU's down at the plantation warehouse and general store, stead of them just adding on more to the totals on those brown paper sacks they keep fer each 'un of us in the hogshead barrel in the back room.

I feel so much better now.
I can climb up the financial ladder to the surface and take a shower under the garden hose with some Dawn dishwashing liquid, cause the better half was beginning to cringe a little bit when she thought I might be fixin to ask her for a little hug to wipe all my fears away.
Every thing be coming up roses now, fer shore!
But this is way more murders that all the gun and knife murders, or all murders for that matter in the US for that year.

I wonder how long before we ban abortions in this country?
Oh yeah! This is apparently what we the people want.
Karma's a bitch ain't it.
Maybe I'm just a conspiracy nut, but, I've got to wonder if this loan is payoff for political donations to the O'bummer campaign.

"Nissan Motor Co. said it will begin U.S. production of its all-electric
Leaf on Thursday in Tennessee as part of a $1.4 billion government loan."
We all know how well those other green loans turned out.
I've got to wonder if this guys karma is good or bad.
Whatever, his luck is spectacularly bad........or good, depending on how he looks at it.

One of the smaller benefits of living atop a slight hill surrounded by pasture and fields is that there is absolutely nothing to stop the wind from sliding under the porch and around the foundation, through myriad cracks and holes of this 113 year old farmhouse. Especially on the first day of winter and the end of the world as we knew it. Damn those Mayans!
Even the Leland Cypress trees along the road don't slow it down, and the bare branches of the Post, Blackjack, Southern Red and White Oaks only seem to intensify the cold as the wind howls among them.
The good news is that unless Armageddon happens within the next two hours, twelve minutes, Spring is only 3 months away. That means that here in NE GA we'll be getting some 70 degree days along about the end of February. Sorry Minnosota............sucks to be you.
In honor of the wind.......

At the end of what seems like a long day, (long enough for a little nappy po right after lunch) I begin to reflect on the almost over Thanksgiving extended weekend.
On Thursday the kudzu wife and I journeyed down to her sister's house for turkey and dressing, giblet gravy and sweet potato souflee. SIL's daughter and newish husband were there along with daughters son by first marriage and his friend John. Big boy.......Big appetite. Also attending were SIL's platonic boyfriend and his young son. A great time.......I did not have too much to drink.
Friday was a clean up day here at the new Kudzu Grotto (I'm searching for a better name) a 112 year old house and acreage. With assignments from the kudzu wife I started early and stayed at it until late. Cleaning and dusting......those little things, while the KW was preparing pumpkin pie, cheese cake, two largest turkey breasts. (man those things were smelling good) We were looking forward to the first full family get together in the KG.
Saturday arrived and people started arriving before noon. Son's in law started the fish fryer up to deep fry some cubed wild turkey breasts. (be still my beating heart, not a piece left over for munching on today.
Georgia trounced Georgia Tech at the dome in Atlanta which looked great on the old JVC big screen we scrounged from neighbor when he upgraded to plasma years ago. Got through the game and then since nothing else of interest was on the boob tube was turned over to the teenagers to play games on.
Somehow before they left the volume had completely quit. That's nice when you're wanting people to just leave already, but not so much if you want to chill out with mindless tv before bed.
So maybe the day seemed long because of no TV, but hey, I got some pecans picked up, ensured the well was adequately covered for the cooler weather that's coming.
I did have some time yesterday to discuss politics and economic conditions with some. We're all sort of thrashing around trying to keep businesses afloat in what seems like hopeless conditions at the present. The good things for the elders is we're either out of debt or getting closer. Still we worry about the younguns, even though some are over 40.
Somehow I suspect that we'll all be judging people by the marks poised by ol' Rudyard in the coming months and years.
If
by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
I think we'll all know a lot more by the time next Thanksgiving rolls around.
What matters is what you think.

Just my opinion
David,
As your attempt to meet with Isakson shows, the GOP
establishment does not want Tea Party advice. In their arrogance they
believe they have all the answers.
IMO we don't need them. The old
establishment has to fail, and will. Let it!! They have purposely
let it get to the point of destruction because they have only the ideas
of the past. They are welded at the hipbone with the money lenders,
bankers, printers, crony capitalists, war-makers and defense (so
called. How much money would they make if peace broke out)
industrialists.
Power-brokerage is their business and life.
Again,
IMO, we need to concentrate on building up 9/12 groups, Tea Partiers
who have not bought into the establishment, true constutionalists and
others of like mind.
If we become big, strong, committed and
numerous......including all True Freedom Lovers on the right and the
left, and believe me they are out there (go watch the Glenn Beck show
from last night)
THEN........will we have something with which to
compete and win. We will have to create a new paradigm in education,
politics and government..........and the established order will fight us
tooth and nail. Hell fire............we're all ready doing it amongst
ourselves.
We are going to have to first form into tribes on a local
level, committed to one another, then to the next tribe, until we are
ready to form a NEW Nation conceived in Liberty (sorry Abe).
Let the old regime fall...........
Only then will the people be ready to learn about liberty and freedom again.
What say you?
Well, it sure didn't take long for the republicrats to show they learned nothing from the last election, did it?
Mark Rubio, Newt and all the rest of the good ol' boys have jumped all over Mitt Romney for saying what we all know to be true.
The democians won the presidential election because of the gifts Obama handed out.
OH No!!!!
We can't be alienating any potential votes for us by telling the truth, can we?
We can't say that women want free contraception including abortions all paid for by somebody else
We can't say that people want 2 years of unemployment paid for by somebody else
We can't say that we would rather give out free housing, food and entertainment to the socially disadvantaged in order to keep them from throwing cement blocks from the overpasses
We can't say that the poor, poor, pitiful poor in this country live a lifestyle several orders of magnitude better than 90% of the rest of the world
We can't say that it wouldn't affect the rest of us one whit that some women want to marry other women, or that some men would like the opportunity to do the same, when for decades we've worked to destroy the institute of marriage by paying unwed mothers to not only give birth to their bastards but support them the rest of their lives
We can't say that it's OK to drink one drug or inhale as many mind altering drugs as possible as long as a medical doctor writes the prescription, but don't you dare try to gain access to other substances we've labeled as illegal, because we need a war on them in order to keep our prisons full and provide employment to petty dictators wearing a badge an a holier than thou attitude
We can't say we have to support the armament industries by bombing the shit out of third world countries. We're spreading democracy don't you know. (The founding fathers would shoot us out of hand for using the word democracy)
A political party that would rather cater to the most base emotions rather than stand on principal is not one I will join.
On the other hand, a political party that would have me as a member is not one I'd join anyway!
...in several states recorded 99% to 100% of the voters voted for the democrat standing for president.
Statistically that seems a little bit odd.
Doesn't it?
Hmmmm........wonder if there is anything fishy there?
http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/why-the-gop-will-not-do-anything-about-vote-fraud/
Of course it's not like the gop is our friend either. Is it?
Maybe I need this outlet for my thoughts more than you do.
That's OK. It's not like I do it for money or anything. I'm just shouting down the canyon to hear my voice echo back and forth.
Sent the following out to a small group near The Classic City. I thought the link worth forwarding .
Good Sunday Morning to you all.
As 9/12 members, Tea Party
members, conservatives, republicans, patriots, .........whatever we
choose to identify ourselves by, we have spent over a week and a half
wondering what the heck happened on Oct 6th. Where did we, or the
republicans go wrong? What could we have done differently?
What
can we do to change the future? Do we need to be kinder, more gentle,
more inclusive? Did we not appeal to the GLTB crowd, the women voters,
the Latino block, the people of color? WTH?? Do we need to join the
Republicrat party? Become more like the Demoicans?
I read a
blogpost over the weekend that, perhaps, may give some thoughts for
reflection. It's more than one or two paragraphs so if you're not
prepared to read for a few minutes don't bother to click this
Link: http://smallthoughts.com/blog/permalink/0183.html
Perhaps.........(and
here I take on the role of devils advocate)...we shouldn't worry so
much about turning the clock back; rather we might consider pushing for the future a little faster.
Then again, .........maybe I ought to consider increasing my medications. Hummmm??
F***it I got my Own Opinion
america got just what she deserved last night.
we will have to pay the piper.
our grand children will curse our names.
me?..............I'm done here
FUBAR
us alive today. And as many women (gotta be politically and honestly correct here, lest the overlords come down on me) I'm sure.
Everything below this

on Drudge today is a waste of time.
Almost two month since I've felt up to posting here.
Sick?
No.
Just a general feeling that I'd better be doing more to prepare our personal lives for the continued downward spiral our so called civilization is taking down the enameled throne.
Perhaps this will explain in part why.
http://youtu.be/4R4KtYVF-74
Cause for thought, methinks.
We continue to slowly work on the new place. We are coming up on six months here in 4 days.
Still much, much to be done. And likely much will still likely to need doing in six more months.
I was scrounging around for a door to put on the well house. The original interior doors had been left in an open shed down behind the galvanized man cave. Just placed on the ground edge down.
Termites had eaten a little on a few of them.
When I started taking the cracked and peeling paint off the one selected for the well house, I found this.......
Reluctantly the Gov't admits that the unemployment numbers rose slightly to 8.3%. Not bad.......
Until, that is, you start digging a little deeper
http://www.cnbc.com/id/48468748
If you try to find out what the real U6 numbers are...
http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost
you find the information is not available at this time.
Do they really believe we are that Stupid.
I've got news for them.
We're not Stupid.
Well, if you depend on the gov't for a living you might be.
WalMart..........
A place where you can get anything you want

I know I shouldn't make fun of people, but, Just Damn!
Sorta makes me reconsider my general policy of looking people in the eye and giving them a smile.
Seems appropriate......
Later today the Kudzu Wife and I will travel south a couple hours for the viewing of my aunt Mary Lou, my fathers younger sister.
This, just four weeks since we lay my uncle Jim to rest.
While Jim's passing was expected as he'd had heart problems for several years, aunt Mary Lou's caught me off guard. At a family reunion three weeks ago she seemed in good spirits and reasonable health. Of course, she was eighty years old and the heat was a hellish 100 + degrees. That will wilt anyone's cool and we bustled her into the dining facility where the air conditioning was a blessing.
She and I had talked much of some of her memories of growing up on my Grandfather Oscar's dairy farm and event from her early life. I had every intention (of which the road to hell is paved) of traveling down to her home to record some family history.
She was preceded in death by her husband Carl, a WWII POW veteran, and one son. She leaves behind sons and a daughter, Son-in-law and daughter's in law, many grand children, maybe even great grand children for all I know, and many nieces and nephews, especially one who will remember her for her courage in the face of adversity, and a beautiful smile that lit up every place I ever saw her
She will be missed.
Not many people have watched, listened or read reports of the shooting in Colorado without cringing from the horror that was inflicted in that movie theater. And not only in the theater. Horror that such an event could take place in any town, to any group of people, their families, neighbors, sons and daughters.
It is such a horror that most people after the first few days of reportage just want to tune it out. After all, 'it couldn't happen here, could it'?
From Neal; http://www.zombie-slayer.com/neal/
“Our main agenda is to have ALL guns banned. We must use whatever
means possible. It doesn’t matter if you have to distort facts or even
lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when
those who would resist us have been totally disarmed.”
So you see, they do plan on trying to disarm the people, and take
away their ability to resist. Our founders warned us about this as well.
George Mason clearly stated that ” To disarm the people….is the best
and most effectual way to enslave them.” Andrew Fletcher said, ” The
possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave.” James
Madison explained that ” The Constitution preserves the advantage of
being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every
other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with
arms.” Therefore, if the government does not trust us to keep and bear
arms, why in God’s name should we trust them?
The government has already shown its willingness to disarm the
American people in times of crisis. Just look back at the actions of the
New Orleans Police and the National Guard during the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina and you will see that the government will go door to
door confiscating your guns, even though you have done absolutely
nothing to warrant such confiscations. If they did it then, you can bet
your ass they will do it again in the event of another full scale
crisis.
Add to that the fact that the odds are that the U.S. will sign the UN
Arms Trade Treaty. We the people did not elect the UN to represent us,
and they have no legal authority to restrict our right to possess
firearms. Yet, according to former Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton,
that is exactly what this treaty will do. Bolton is quoted as saying
that the treaty “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty
about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no
doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.”
None of this may mean anything to you as you may not own guns, or you
may not notice that your freedom is being eroded. But it damn sure
worries me. I could honestly care less if you choose to deny the obvious
truth that your government is out to enslave you. Unfortunately, the
actions of the government will affect me as much as they affect you.
However, as Henry Ford once said, ” Thinking is the hardest work there
is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.” Well, I have
certainly provided you with a lot to think about. So I will allow it to
sink in while I return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
Certainly there are deranged people living among us. (I suspect I have been suspect from time to time) But, there seems to me that whenever an event, a crisis, a happening is needed to either turn our attention away from, or towards, whatever is wanted by the PTB, such an event comes to pass.
Deranged............your guess is as good as any.
