The family is greater than the village. Do not tell me that it takes a village because we can do w/o villages, when push comes to shove, but one can never be able to persist and maintain without a family in which to belong. The essential unit of human cooperation and teamwork towards a common goal, like survival, is the family, not a government comprised of self-serving bureaucrats who purposely perpetuate wasteful spending, either local, state or federal.
The often repeated and erroneous and foolish statement that "It takes a village" is broadcast in such a way to evoke a warm feeling of dependence on the village by the people for their very living, while they willingly contribute to the legions of bureaucrats, who spent their money like drunken sailors. And no offense to drunken sailors.
Things are looking up, however. I think the tide is turning. How about you?
@ZarkFiles Perhaps this would make sense to many people on a basic level. This book called SOCIALISM SUCKS is recommended reading for all. Socialism indeed sucks, and it sucks indeed, which ever is correct, and it sucks intently and profusely as well.
Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.
Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.
Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.
Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.
Hillary Clinton was visiting a New York elementary school. After her talk, she asked for questions.
A boy named Kenneth raised his hand.
“I have three questions,” he said.
“First, what happened in Benghazi?
Second, why run for president if you can’t handle two email accounts?
Third, what happened to the six billion dollars missing from the State Department?”
Right then, the recess bell rang 20 minutes early. Hillary said they’d continue afterward.
When they returned, she asked for more questions. Another boy, Johnny, raised his hand.
“I have five questions,” he said.
“First, what happened in Benghazi?
Second, why run for president if you can’t handle two emails?
Third, where’s the missing six billion?
Fourth, why did the bell ring 20 minutes early?
And fifth… where the hell is Kenneth?”

I was expecting a blank page... but he actually did stuff... horrible stuff.
This whole Elon “trillionaire” conversation is depressing because it reveals how economically illiterate we are.
A $1 trillion net worth does not mean Elon walked into a village, stole everyone’s bread, and locked it in a vault.
In fact, he probably consumes fewer real-world resources than the average Hollywood climate activist screaming about him from a private jet-adjacent lifestyle.
Elon built things people voluntarily use, and invested in companies that created massive value to billions of people.
The collective quality of life of society has been elevated by this man’s work.
He didn’t get handed a trillion dollars and start hoarding all the food, houses, and medicine.
Elon is a contributor. Not a taker.
Probably the biggest one alive.
Which is why he’s worth $1 trillion and the people who don’t understand that are still yelling “fair share” into their iPhones.
Here is a glimpse of the greatest flag of all time, because it represents a country defined by freedom, liberty and the still to be imagined frontiers of knowledge that will be achieved.
Hello Brothers and Sisters of X, I wanted to take a moment to better introduce myself to any who come across this post and who may be interested in supporting my efforts.
I am a Proud American Conservative. I am a Husband, Father, Son, Brother & Uncle. I believe that the Federal Government should be small. And that most things should be handled on a community level.
I started this page because I believe in balance and have watched for years as we have been forced farther and farther away from the things that have always made our country great and the balance those things provided and while I don’t have much time due to work and family I just couldn’t sit idly by and ignore it any longer.
So here I am with all of you, learning to enrich myself and sharing to hopefully enrich others.
I did have an old page that was pretty successful, but back then I was apparently overly aggressive with how I shared my opinions to politician’s pages so my account was permanently suspended.
This time around I have taken a more well rounded approach leaning heavily into satire and political humor. But I also came with a real goal this time.
And that is to gain influence so I can help the little guys and gals get a voice. I would rather see 10k, 20k, 50k or 100k people sharing thoughts and ideas than just a handful of talking heads who care more about getting their payouts than they do about what they are sharing or why.
I have a good job, which allows me to provide a humble but comfortable lifestyle for my family. So I’m not interested in making money here.
What I do plan to do is look for those who are sharing original, uplifting, proAMERICA, proFamily, and other good things and help them get that good content out to a bigger audience.
So here is the ASK
If you see this and have taken the time to read it all, come check out my page and content.
If you like it and appreciate the work that has gone into it please follow me and share this post with your own little introduction asking your friends to read it as well.
I was always taught from a young age that good things and good people will ALWAYS be attacked by forces who hate the light.
But also that together we are strong and with God we cannot be defeated.
Let’s all work together to find, support and uplift conservative Vibes, Values, and Voices.
