View Thread: losing hope


warhound
I don't post here much. I'm the only person my age that I know who has true work ethic. Everybody else just wants a handout.

I don't have a lot of friends. People dislike me because of my political views. People my age tend to avoid me, mostly because I'm interested in something other than going to clubs to pick up whores.

I'm really losing hope in this country, I didn't think it could get any worse than my generation (I'm 21 now), but each batch of younger kids has me more and more sickened, and worried for my country, every day.

I overheard a conversation last night, in which, a girl, who was probably my age or a year or two younger asked "the civil war was the one with japan, right?"

My city is so flooded with mindless liberals that it makes me sick. 95 percent of the people I talk to voted for Obama, but can't seem to explain why. They all think Clinton was a great guy, but don't know anything he did (apart from getting a blowie in the oval office)

All I know is that this is not the America that I was told about as a kid. These are not the people who can do anything, the people who put a man on the moon, the people who are supposed to stand for whats good, and honest in the world. Where the hell did it go wrong?

I find myself praying for things to fly off the handle, just so I can do my part in trying to set them right. The marine corps and army wouldn't take me because of some injuries from my teenage life. I broke my back and shattered my pelvis and right hip in a car accident.

I don't really know where I am going with this, I guess just looking for some support, or some affirmation that other people are experiencing the same thing, and that I'm not alone in this.

I just feel so overwhelmingly alone in my beliefs and views.

I was 18 in 1968 ... I didn't think ANYTHING could get worse then my generation. I was WRONG!

Don't place your hope in a Country, or a State, or a County or a Town.

DO NOT PLACE YOUR HOPE IN ANY GOVERNMENT OR ANY POLITICIAN!!! They will all let you down.

You got a work ethic? TRUST IN THAT... it will get you by better than ANY government!!!

Only INVEST IN yourself ... your skill sets (KNOWLEDGE) FIRST ... your TOOLS second.

Yeah, your generation sucks.
Hell, I was born in '58 and my generation sucked ALMOST as bad. Your's is just totally lame. They can't seem to do anything and are arguably the most ignorant generation at least since the Civil War.

You will have to be a leader. There is a way to go about things. Look up my thread on Marine Corps Leadership skills. Work on them daily. Sounds like you need to work on tact the most. I know that one can be hard, trust me.... ;)

Leadership takes work every single day of your life. Nurture it. Seriously.

When you can't take anymore of the dipshits, come here and post with us.

And,
Learn what you are going to need to learn.
Prep how you are going to need to prep.
Train how you are going to need to train.

Remember there is a time to keep your mouth shut also. You are going to have to learn to be a little bit of an actor.

Work is work
Play is play

When it comes down to it, it is, or will be, about you, your wife and your family. All the rest doesn't amount to a pile of shit next to them.


This is the best constructive advice I can give you if you are looking for any.

In the beginning a patriot is a scarce man, hated and feared and scorned. But in time when his cause succeeds, the timid join him, because then it costs nothing to be patriot.

Suck it up. Do what you have to do, period.

Shit, I grew up dirt poor, picked up coal off the railroad tracks, barely had any food.... I didn't even know how poor we were until I was a freshman in high school, saw a video in which somebody said, "We were so poor, we hadda pick up coal off the railroad tracks." Hell, we didn't think we were poor, we just thought, 'Hey, free coal!' Anyway, I was talking about this to a guy at work, he's from Mexico, and one of the finesy human beings I've ever known. He listens to my story, then says, "That's bad. When I was growing up in Mexico, we had no floor, just dirt...."

My point? However bad it is, it's paradise compared to somebody else's reality. You ain't hooked on meth, you ain't got cancer, you ain't too bad fucked up.... Suck it up, man! Adversity builds character. Me, I can fix anything, I can improvise like a mofo, I can survive on zero money, I have mad skilz, and I depend on myownself for everything.

Adversity builds character!

(As an aside, when my sister and I picked up coal, we avoided the coal tipple; we were taught not to steal, and we didn't want to accidentally take any of their coal.)

If you give up hope, the others have won. They are depending on you throwing in the towel. Never give them that satisfaction. Start with small victories that can be attained quickly. As you start building on these start ramping up the difficulty of the wins. Just like physical therapy only you are training your mind. NEVER give up hope.

You'll find telling the truth will get rid of most of your friends. After all, they
killed Christ for nothing more than telling the truth. Just know you are in good
company here. Glad you posted. Put your faith in God not your country, it's toast.

NewKrink
Honestly, I don't know how I would live during this time period if Jesus wasn't the center of my world. We are all experiencing the same feelings you are right now, about society, the liberal movement, the gov't and the way our once great country is degrading right before our eyes. But this world is temporary, it will eventually, in some way, end. Why put your hopes in a world, country, or society that is headed for a definite end. God's world is eternal, it goes on beyond this world so buy into that, put your heart into that and watch how your hopes begin to arise when you're banking on the one, true, God.
Everything that you described that you're losing hope over, and everything that's going on in the world today is fully described in the Bible. That's your proof! You described how the people today are...go read 2nd timothy 3: 1-5 and see if that doesn't shed some light on our society today.
Put your faith, heart and hopes in something greater than this world rather than what is going down the drain FAST. Take a closer look at Jesus' message to ALL of us, all you have to do is open the door and ask,...Mathew 7:7-11.

There are good like minded people around you, they are just hard to spot because they don't stick out like the retards and sheeple that flourish these days. It is up to you to find them by some sort of networking,you already started that here.
I was thinking about the latest lost generation when Fort hood went down and I got to hear about the actions of a young lady from my state that gave me much hope,,,,not the hope of the kool aid drinking idiots,,,,,,,,but the hope and promise that there may be a future yet.

keep coming around here for encouragement and get a free purple nurple :D

ya, i hear ya, im 17 and sometimes it feels like im the only one left in the world who remembers anything of why and how, it seems too me the ppl these days are just idk....lost misguided plain stupid, they seem too have no desire too gain knowledge or understanding, i listen too some very stupid shit in alabama, my god i wonder how they know too breathe, your not the only one lol

thanks for finding us......we ether stand for liberty or tyrrany....we stand for liberty....

know that the ignorance of your peers is done with intent

the sheep are the second or third or fourth generation of a long line of mindless sheep...

the big nanny state big govt indoctrination of the education system is bt desgin.

try marklevinshow.com /audio archives he speaks very well on the founding forefathers.

the indoctrination /education system is run by marxists who have made mindless sheep out of folks for so long with evil intent, it only is logical that a child of a mindless sheep will be even more stupid with more marxist brainwashing.

you must have family that are not sheep

read and collect all of thomas jeffersons writtings..... i belive it will help form your foundation.

+1,......but God is counting on us to help ourselves.(GOD helps those who help themselves)

Not in the Bible my friend. In fact, 2 Corinthians 12:9 says "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness."

We aren't meant to feel "at home" in this world. But the good news is that Christ has already overcome the world, and the clock is counting down to the day when all of the kingdoms of this world will become His.
Revelation 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

tdbrown1969
+1 on getting your heart right with GOD.Only HE can fill the emptyness all men feel in thier hearts.We all reach a point in our lives where the light bulb comes on.When we realize that there are some among us who have blinders on.Who will deny the truth when it has them one foot in the grave.My wake up call was 9-11.It was that day that I realized I was part of the problem,not the solution.I am beyond hoping this country will fix itself.I am ready for it to implode upon itself so those of us who are true to America and the Constitution can stand up and take back what our forfathers spilt thier blood for.The only real hope I have in this country right now-is that it will fail and when it does I want men like you and those posting here in this thread to be the ones I stand with to right the wrongs that are destroying this country.Those that support the current goverment and it's policies I count as my enemies.Hell it is not just the current administration it goes back 100 years.100 years they been tearing it down,it will not be fixed overnite.We are living in historic times and it is not because there is a black man in the white house(he is just another puppet),it is because in your's-our lifetime what was once America will die.Then we will go to war with those who wish to make it what it was never meant to be.That is my hope,that I will live to fight the battle that puts this country back on track to freedom.td

I'm 17 I'm often criticized for my take on society, at school I'm in the minority as far as my position on politics. most of my peers don't care of those who do the majority are a bunch of fanny bandits who think obama is the messiah. I have found that there are other some who share my views. They tend to be the smarter more well behaved people I no. The rest smoke pot fail school and tend to swing the wrong way I think there's always hope but we are going to have to fight for it in more ways than one.

NewKrink
Isn't it AMAZING how many people have fallen into the "lost" crowd of sleepers, liberals, and just complete life idiots? I see many of them EVERY day. They're either the "Obama messiah" crowd, Liberal moon bats or sleepers that are walking zombies...no brain activity. I find myself wondering if I'll be able to sustain sanity for a prolonged period of time being surrounded by these idiots. Thirty years ago they would've gotten beat up for being such a retard, now they're all retards. I've found myself like Warhound wondering if I'm all alone in this crazy, misguided world. But then I'll call a conservative friend for a reality check.
I'm going to ask this question, and I hope somebody will give me the real answer....."WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE!!!" or"WHAT HAPPENED!!!"
If I was the type that gets scared, I would be scared now. But I know that God has his plan and it all comes together in the end. But lately, I've been praying about twice a day, that he would bring the end soon so I don't have to live with this crap anymore.

drjarhead
I'm going to ask this question, and I hope somebody will give me the real answer....."WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE!!!" or"WHAT HAPPENED!!!"
What do you mean?
To the country?

If you're asking that, I would say the real beginning of the end was "Entitlements".

But all of that started a good century ago.
It started with Trade Unions and the Women's Suffrage Movement being courted by the Blosheviks that were seeking to take the Democratic Party over.
They simply courted any fringe group to add their votes to their attempt to gain control. As long as they could hold that coalition of bastard step children together, they would hold power. Separately, they were nothing, together they all had clout.

As Kruschev said, they would defeat us "without firing a shot."

They also were defeated. Perhaps we'd have both been better worrying about what was going on in our own countries, right under our respective noses.

But I digress.

To the Feminazis and the Unions, they added homosexuals, minorities (the purchase of the Black Vote is most notable in this regard) and those who wanted to butcher their children with impunity.

They took over the universities and thereby the public education system.

The media was their mouthpiece, spreading their propaganda and character assassination--exclusively on those who did not support the leftist agenda.

The feminazis and the media took a real toll on the family.
The family court system of the 60s, 70s, 80s and into the 90s was one of the greatest injustices ever perpetrated on american males.

Realizing they couldn't get everything they wanted through the Exec and Legislative Branches, they stacked the judicial branches which gave them carte blanche to override ANYTHING the other branches did against them.

Now the churches even are full of evil.

And now, they bring in millions of mexicans, illegally, in order to vote for their continued power as well as to fight against us -- all while we simply watch them bring in their military force unable to even conceive of fighting back.

For the most part, we slept while all of this went on.
Your generation and the 2 before are the result of a campaign of ignorance and indoctrination. Most of them are so damaged they are irretrievable.

The first step, according to Yuri Bezmenov, was to destroy morality. Something to think about right there.


If conservatives had done what they do now, 20-30 years ago, the nation would be a different place. Now it is too little, too late. It will be totally ineffective. What is the solution now will come too late also, I am afraid.

You just hang in there though, we're going to fight anyway, and we are better men. We are much better men.

Mandaree36
It is interesting to note certain geographical differences.

In the course of business I meet with many people, including visiting company men, etc.

I have yet to meet one who supports Obama - and does not readily affirm any comment regarding the piss poor state of affairs in this country.

I dont see it as being in the majority any longer - not at all.

The polls prove that out.

It is not all downhill gentlemen - people are awakening - and while some will claim it is too late - I believe otherwise.

Awareness, and speaking out - masses awakening - that is the reality.

Just my perspective.

drjarhead
And there you have the other viewpoint.

One needs to look at the direction the govt has taken us ever since 1963. Somewhat even before.

Certainly the 17 years of the Klintons, Shrub and 0bongo give a clear look at the direction we are heading regardless which party is in power.

Don't be dis-heartened or dis-courraged. You only let others control as much as you want. Relax and go shooting it is a great stress releiver.

As for the rest of it - f it - you take care of you - the rest usually sorts it self out.

Yes not all of us are ment to serve actively. ME for instance. :cry_small

go to www.USAJOBS.gov {revised} job site has function so you look for most goverment jobs near your zipp code or you can apply for US jobs in Latvia. { [Latvia] only if you like to talk fake blond vomenz, drink vodka, eat borscht at lunch time (do not care if you have a robust FBI file)} :icon05: :icon05:

there re many U.S. goverment organizations that can still use a young person - at many levels - educated or not - many military organizations have civelian employees that help. Getting troopps paid or contracts fullfilled or macaroni cheeze made is not all handled by a UBERMAN - John Wayne type.

Just because you may not be able to serve the military ACTIVILy

You can still be serious about - defending the US Constitution - Republic from all enemies foreign or domestic. It is better to start a jobb with government will you are young before you get too much of past.

When you look at the open jobs - you will amazed at the number of opportunities and locations you can serve. Student oportunities - part time - state guards - va - batf+e+s - IRS - home land security - hud - civilian navy engineers - lotza fun. Just think of the computor geeks watching us and others.

try not to pick the radar station in the north pole, based on your tempory mental state.

you are one of the few folks that can say that with any real meaning, doc.

it takes a few, eh? ;-)

thanks Yoda, for personally coming to all this as a non-federally-ordained soldier, i take very seriously my service, and patriotism to the American Ideal.

and somehow work ethic is directly, exactly: related to Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, under God. He is my shepherd and only true friend.

God probably lives only in your heart these days, and that's just as well, btw.

wow a level headed post, you sure your only 21. I think every generation thinks there generation sucks. However, this generation, the kid are coddles, no one plays outside anymore, and recreational time is schedules playdates.

I think the kids of this generation have a weird sense of entitlement. Trust in your skills, your heart and keep that good character.

It's good to see someone else my age who shares the same view! I was starting to think all my gereration was inturested in was dope and free gov handouts.

warhound
A few days late, but as promised, here's my post.

I guess it's a little hard for me to accept losing belief in my country. I was raised in a very patriotic family (as I'm sure many of you were).

It's very good to know there are a lot of other people out there like me. Especially people my age. I really don't know anybody my age who isn't lost. I could call them liberals, but they don't know the meaning of the word. All they believe is what Celebrities tell them is good, and right. Global Warming is king, all guns are evil, and tolerance is putting yourself below everybody else.

I know exactly where the sense of entitlement came from, it came from years of being buried in Birthday and Christmas gifts, it came from parents making their kids believe they are special, and more important than anyone else. I'm all for parents treating their kids right, but that doesn't mean to spoil them rotten.

I think things will go south when people can't keep pretending they make 500,000 a year. Who knows. I know that Toledo has gotten really ugly in the past year. Things are happening here at a rate that I'd never imagine. Shootings, car jackings, robberies, all of it.

I carry EVERYWHERE. Regardless of if there's a sign that says I can or can't.

I've taken a few carbine courses, and I'm looking at doing more. I'd really like to do team tactics with my family, but I don't think they're ready yet.

Thanks again to everybody who chimed in. You guys helped me back to my feet. If I ever meet any of you, drinks are on me.

Start out unloaded. That's how you should start and how most of your tactical training should be done anyhow for reasons of safety, security, the cost of ammo and practicality.

Some towns are ALOT more liberal than others. I had to move out of Austin, Tx. I just couldn't live there anymore, with those libtards. I still live in Texas and sometimes have to work a day in Austin, but it usually ends up being shortened so I can get the hell out of there. But I'm fine in San Antonio, Houston, or Dallas. The libtards don't have the majority in those towns..it's funny how it makes a difference in the whole environment when it's a lib town.

flopshot
trust me warhound, you're not alone. you're just hanging out in all the wrong places. see to your personal preperations and find a new crowd to mingle with. you might try a local conservative political organization for starters. getting involved might give you a better perspective on things. keep your tone civil when in public and your preperations to yourself. you're not odd, just ahead of the curve.
