There remain about 5 months ’til US elections 2016 and folks are full of doom and gloom.  The gun boards are rife with talk about “What ‘battle carbine’ should I get?”, “What magazines for my ‘battle carbine’ should I get?”, “Who has the best price on bulk ammo?”, “What are you going to do if “Hitlery” gets in?”, etc.  There’s a lot of speculation about what the future holds and “The End Of The World As We Know It” (otherwise known as TEOTWAWKI)  is “just around the corner”. We haven’t seen this much agitation since, well, the past two presidential elections.

Now, I’m no more in favor of “Hitlery’s” policies than the doom and gloom crowd, nor am I a “Trumper”.  This election cycle the words of Charles Spurgeon ring truer than ever.  “Of two evils, choose neither.”  Yet there are folks howling that one or the other of the above mentioned candidates will certainly sink the sunken ship of the American states.

This is indeed a “Hot Topic” these days.  If you think about it a bit, just by the very name it is obvious that these folks are criminals. If you do something “illegal” you are breaking the law.

That is, they’ve come in as students or tourists or whatever – and then stayed as lawn care, cleaning, farming or other workers. There are folks practicing medicine or dentistry to certain degrees in various parts, catering to other folks who are also up in the US illegally – without benefit of a medical or dental liscence. And sooner or later someone’s going to be hurt and what recourse will they have?

“Fly over country” they call it, “they” being the denizens of the urban blights on the east and west coasts of the US of A.  They look down their noses at those who live there, not having a clue that if it were not for the “hayseeds”, “hicks” and “rednecks”, they would die of starvation in short order.  As Hank Williams Jr. so succinctly puts it,

I can plow a field all day long, I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn.  We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too, ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do.  We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine and a country boy can survive, Country folks can survive!

We came from the West Virginia coalmines, and the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies. We can skin a buck; we can run a trot line and a country boy can survive, Country folks can survive!!
