I lived in Central NB and we always joked we could almost see the the town 30 miles away.


I live in Oklahoma...we tell the same jokes here. I live near some rolling hills, (rurally), and when you top one of them you can literally see a good 25 miles. There is another one of those rolling hills blocking the last 10 miles to the next town, (in this case city)...or you could see it too.

Good idea?? OR stupid idea??


I assume for more than entry level jobs, your requirements for after "after-hours" calls from work were explained to you when you hired on. Many companies expect you to be available for emergencies...or in some cases it's even a built-in requirement. However, if the company is taking advantage...options, I imagine would differ between employers. Sadly, what usually happens is...you end up putting up with it/quit/move on

Beliefs aren’t just something in a person’s mind. They lead to actions, and actions have consequences. Everyone acts upon what they believe, not on what they don’t believe. To comprehend what the Left (the Democratic Party) is doing today, we must understand their belief system. It is a systematic structure, not just a few kooky political ideas or moral depravities. The Left has an entire world view, and it has had repercussions wherever it has been applied. Your average Democratic Party voter such as Lost Aggie, LiberalGrammyD, or NotMAGA doesn’t understand it, and probably would disagree with much of it. But this is what Leftists believe, and these beliefs are having and will have consequences in America the deeper they take root. Bill Gates and Barack Obama know EXACTLY what they are doing and why. Let me briefly summarize the major Leftist tenets.

1. They hate God and Christianity. It all starts right here. I’ve noted this hatred many, many times before, but this weekend, Joe Biden gave absolute proof of it by his exaltation of “Transgender Day of Visibility” on the holiest Christian day. This is an absolute insult to Christians, an utterly hateful, evil act. It proves my point, conclusively. Thank you, Mr. Biden.

Actually, atheism is the cornerstone of Leftism; as Marx said, “Communism begins where atheism begins.” Most Leftist leaders don’t believe in God, so man must “save himself.”

Can normal humans, of average intelligence, seeking individual freedom, ever accomplish the earthly utopia that Marxists crave? To Leftists, no. Freedom is chaotic and thus humanity needs guidance. They do, from God (Jeremiah 10:23). But that’s not Leftist dogma.

2. Since there is no God, then only man can direct earthly affairs. The only limitations to right and wrong are thus the ones man establishes. But which man? In China, it was Mao Zedong (now Xi Jinping), and Mao’s “standard” was to murder anyone whom he believed threatened his “revolution.” Humans will never agree upon a universal, human-devised moral code because what makes one person’s standard better than another’s? Why should I believe you? But a human-established norm, ever-changing, is exactly what Leftists believe in. And since their “human standard” is no better than any other “human standard,” it can only be forced upon people. For the good of all, naturally. Those who balk are to be silenced, by any means necessary. Submit, or suffer the consequences.

But, who are the decision-makers?

3. Believing in Darwin, Leftists do not believe in human equality; they believe that some humans have “evolved” to a superior, higher status than others. Hence, their racism. Just like some dog breeds are smarter than others, so some humans are also intellectually advanced. Leftists cannot admit this openly, of course, because it’s Nazism, Adolf Hitler’s creed. But look at their actions, not their words. While Hitler believed the “Aryan” race was superior, modern Leftists are more subtle. Gates, Obama, Trudeau, etc. are “smarter” than you, superior to you, and therefore should rule. Thus, an “intellectual” evolution, not Hitlerian racial evolution, is their credo. They know best how to guide and conduct mankind’s affairs. They should reign and anyone who opposes them becomes the “enemy.”

4. The greatest enemies are God and anyone who believes in him, because such a person’s allegiance will be to something higher than the man-established (Leftist)intellectual standard. Religion must thus be destroyed, either through ridicule or violent obliteration. At best, it must be rigorously controlled by the ruling class (state), as in China.

The second greatest enemy is the family because parents might wish to teach their children things (like religion) contrary to the elite-approved ideals. Therefore, the family must also be either destroyed or watered down into ineffectiveness, and the state must control children’s education. Hence, we see the current Leftist advocacy of extra-marital sex, homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion, same-sex marriage, “coming for your children”—anything contrary to traditional, religious-based family values. Even Confucius said, “The foundation of society is a disciplined individual in a disciplined family,” but the CCP permits it only as long as they control it.

People are ALLOWED to have a (nuclear) family, and even believe in God, IF they are willing to subordinate both to the all-powerful state.

Everything—EVERYTHING—must be subordinate to the Left.

5. Government, under Leftism, is the tool to lead to a glorious future for all. Since most people won’t voluntarily give up their freedom of choice and actions for some improbable future fantasy, totalitarian elites must compel them to do so. Government becomes the means to usher in the earthly Shangri-la, with Leftist intellectuals ruling. Anyone who will not submit is deceiving others and delaying the arrival of Utopia. For mankind’s good, any rebellious, intellectually-inferior “common people” must be silenced—either through censorship, threats, imprisonment, or, if necessary, death. Since the Left doesn’t believe in the sanctity of human life, mass murder is inconsequential to them. Kill today to bring in the Utopia of tomorrow. Once the population is sufficiently cowed (as in modern China), most mass killings can cease. The Democratic Party is trying to smother its opposition today via censorship, etc., but, being a Leftist organization, if it ever gets Maoist/CCP type power in America, it will doubtless do Maoist/CCP type things, as it deems necessary. If not, why not? It’s been that way in every Leftist hellhole in history.

Socialism, with its government economic control, is the Left’s economic system. Capitalism, with its freedom and uncontrollable markets, is rejected. Since the Left has no absolute morality except what will lead them to power, anything goes—lying, stealing, murder—it’s all in their history. Thus, climate change, Covid vaccines, transgenderism, stealing elections—nothing is forbidden if it leads to dominance.

Books have been written about Leftist philosophy. I’ve given a small summary.

Be prepared. They haven’t hit bottom yet. There is no “bottom” to the Left.
Beliefs aren’t just something in a person’s mind. ... (show quote)


It is appalling that we would even be discussing this happening here in America, to the point that it is an obvious threat...it is nauseating. Perhaps it isn't the elites, but the useful idiots who are actually driving change...or most likely both, it's hard to pin evil down...and that is the real fight. And without the help/guidance of God Almighty...(which the Left resoundingly rejects) and more/more demands that the God who has been blessing America since her inception, be removed, (encouraged to denounce) from our public places/life...and replaced with a secular religion whose
Left-Wing "Core Beliefs" are:
False Accusations
False Imprisonments
State Sanctioned Torture
State Sanctioned Murder

These "Core Beliefs" have been employed for over a hundred years/all over the world to the tune of 150 MILLION innocent men/women/children murdered by their own Left-Wing Utopian Governments...ooh aren't they just sooo wonderful/advanced...why even...progressive...they'll tell you so themselves. And appallingly, all these false accusations/imprisonments/state sanctioned torture/murder...it doesn't seem to be enough to convince some people. What will it take...some radical "fundamental transformation"...which actually for the Left is not radical, but quite routine with its failed-every-time-it's-tried/"the end justifies the means" ideals.

You need to open your eyes and look around. It is due to the policies of Joe Biden that you are not still in the economic and social cesspool where we all lived at the end of the nightmare called the Fat Boy administration. The obese liar asks, "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" Hell yes I am!

Here's what we were looking at when the American people told the Fat Boy to get the hell out of the White House.

The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased dramatically to a peak of 13% in the second quarter of 2020.
Paychecks grew faster than inflation for those still working. Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 8.7% after inflation. Numbers show increase due to 80% of the 10 million job losses were held by workers on the lower rungs.
Stock Market and Corporate profits maintained their long time gains until 2nd qtr 2020 when the bottom fell out.
The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up.
The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016.
The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.
Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year (2020) compared with 2016.
Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%. Carbon emissions from energy consumption dropped 11.5%.
Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record.
The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.
Trump filled one-third of the Supreme Court, nearly 30% of the appellate court seats and a quarter of District Court seats with candidates chosen by The Heritage Foundation.
1,000,000+ Americans dead and more dying from COVID. The worst of the industrialized nations.

Biden has turned EVERY ONE of the negatives around and restored the health of the points that caved in in 2020 due to the Fat Boys incompetence and the incapabilities of the clowns surrounding him. Our standing in the world has been regained along with our national honor and dignity. Unemployment is at a 50 year low and the market is back to setting records. Our inflation is still a bit high but it is still the lowest of the industrialized nations. Wages are genuinely up over inflation, consumer confidence levels are at a high point, retail sales are up, high paying tech jobs are booming with many not requiring college degrees, manufacturing is returning to America and new manufacturing facilities are being built.

Am I better off now than when the Fat Boy was destroying the country? You bet your ass I am!
You need to open your eyes and look around. It is... (show quote)


Sometimes you have you have to wonder at the dishonesty of Leftists. Inflation is still a BIT high?!


NBC News--Inflation which is at a 40 year high, has risen every month since Biden took office

Inflation up 16 %...Groceries prices nearly 20% higher since Gestapo Joe took office.
But then again, as long as Leftists get theirs they could care less about the shape of the country.

At the very least everyone will know what the VP candidate stands for/where he/she stands on issues. And isn't it nice that there is a pretty big bench to choose from. I really like Candace Owen...but she lacks experience, (no doubt she is smart enough to learn). Not only that, you can bet the Democrat-Communist Party (DCP) /American-Left will have a cow over not only the way Trump chooses his VP, but whoever he chooses will get it with both barrels. Ah the American-Left/DCP frantically clutching their pearls/whining/screaming/crying...feigning outrage all the while ginning up violence... bless their hearts, poor dears

Democratic socialism is a modern day construct (made up term) by marxist socialists in it's early stages of pushing socialism.

Wow. It is astounding that after over 100 years and 150 MILLION innocent men/women/children have been murdered by their own vicious/oppressive Left-Wing Utopian Governments...(and that 150 million will rise because Leftists NEVER stop murdering innocents). They have been/are busy applying their "Core Beliefs"
False Accusations
False Imprisonments
State Sanctioned Torture
State Sanctioned Murder
And we as government policy have fought these evil systems, with our monetary policy, as well as our most precious treasure...the lives, and often the deaths of our servicemen/women. And now these American-Leftists/Democrat-Communist Party want to install the same, (slight variations) FAILS-EVERY-TIME-IT'S-TRIED system right here. And since there is a mountain of undeniable/historical evidence (as well as dead bodies) of just how brutal/evil Left-Wing systems of government ALWAYS turn out to be...what is the true purpose of the American-Left/Democrat-Communist Party. They claim they want to "fundamentally transform" this country...and it IS fundamental, the changes the Left wants...from a society which values individual liberty/freedom of speech into just another failed/oppressive/murderous Left-Wing system, where you are forced to conform, (with themselves in charge) of course.

By your statement about wealthy people and investing, do you imply that you have something against capitalism as a catalyst for environmental destruction/ what about them working class folks that drive the economy, do you think that any extra money they can get isn’t invested in some form or function/ what about your social situation, what are you doing that makes you better than than anyone else, seems you portray a bigoted personality 🤠


So, the wealthy aren't responsible for job creation. All those "working class people"...employed/paid by all those other "working class people"...right

I have spent a lot of time in Brooklyn and have enjoyed it very much. Manhattan is a bit much, I'm guessing, as far as it being a great place to live. It is the congestion more than anything else. New York is one of the worlds greatest cities. If it is not for you or if you feel that it is not for you, stay where you are. You will either not like it or be overwhelmed. Either way you will probably go home anyway.


I live rurally. The thought of living in a big city/any big city, (and yes at one time, for many years I did live in a big city)...which is why rural life appeals to me.

I live near the Finger Lakes (Canandaigua) in central upstate NY, and after all my days living and traveling around the US, upstate NY has some of the most beautiful scenery in this country. Upstate Maine and Vermont, too.

And I agree with you 100% - after settling down here, I would not want to move to any other part of the country again. The pacific northwest is comparable topography-wise, but the people were more anxious and uptight there, in my experience.

trying to feign some kind of moral superiority while attempting to establish a deceitful/false narrative, in an effort to undermine the truth. We ALL need to remember 150 MILLION DEAD, (and counting---because Leftists NEVER stop murdering)...at the hands of their own LEFT-WING Governments. And THAT is the goal of the Left here/everywhere, (you should be able to tell by the growing body count)...open season, (if not outright killed-imprisoned/tortured/endlessly/falsely charged)...literally on any who would dare to dissent/disagree (the very hallmark of our nation)...and stand up for individual liberty/freedom of speech...the foundations of this country. And yet there are those who deny history/refuse to see what is right in front of them...or fully know history and want that evil power...that in the end always turns on them.
