He thought he kept the universe alone;
For all the voice in answer he could wake
Was but the mocking echo of his own
From some tree-hidden cliff across the lake.
Some morning from the boulder-broken beach
He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.
And nothing ever came of what he cried
Unless it was the embodiment that crashed
In the cliff’s talus on the other side,
And then in the far distant water splashed,
But after a time allowed for it to swim,
Instead of proving human when it neared
And someone else additional to him,
As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush–and that was all.
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

The demoncrats applaud this evil while the reptilians offer them food and foolish smiles. Americans had better turn off the tube and start prepping for what is coming on very fast.
It is all about power. Pure and simple. Everything else is a distraction.
My dear Stargazer, you get it.
In what remains now of what used to be Western Civilization today’s putative Left are merely useful idiots for the Open Border$ Globo-Capitali$t $ellout E$tabli$hment to manipulate to suppress, oppress and persecute those who are not useful idiots. Once the $ellout E$tabli$hment will have found no further use for those useful idiots it will turn on them faster than stink on you-know-what.
it’s already here.
they’re already calling for social scoring of Trump associates; denying employment.

ChinkCold 1984 has a 99.7% survival rate.
What is the survival rate of communism?
To everything there is a season; it was true then as it still is…
What virus?
You mean that silly gov/media rumor?
Grow a fuckin brain stem already.
I just got home from a huge gun show today, and was at another one yesterday.
There’s still plenty of “scalper pricing” on ammo & stuff, but I did see a pretty good amount of “lowered” prices, too. I even saw some great deals and took advantage of them.
It makes a big difference when you make friends with the vendors and buy in bulk, and sometimes call them a few days before an upcoming show to secure an order or purchase.
Case in point- I bought so much once-fired rifle & pistol brass from a vendor yesterday that my buddy and I had to make two trips to carry it all to my car.
That’s the good news.
Now for the bad news.
Check out the anti-gun laws they’re pushing even before “Joe, the Commander In THIEF” crawls his slimy carcass into the White House- https://www.guns.com/news/2021/01/07/and-here-come-the-anti-gun-bills-for-2021
Hey Pete, didn’t you move to the midwest recently?
Oh, and gun laws? They don’t pertain to me. For reference see 2A.
Ghostsniper-
Yep. I moved back east a little over 2 years ago.
Bought my home for 1/4 of what it would have cost in Commiefornia, and paid for in cash, in full.
Smartest thing I’ve done in a couple decades.
The cost of living here is (average) 28% of what it was in NorCal.
And the quality of life is 100 times better than what it was in NorCal.
What state are you in?
Right now, I’m in a state of angry hostility towards the commie Liberals.
Location wise, I live in the state named after part of a deer’s face.
Oddly enough, nothing’s changed on this mountain in years. If I want to get puffed up, I hang out at WRSA. I’ve been shying away lately, I’m tired of being angry.
Was amused to discover Americanpartisans been clubbed. just something unsettling about patriot related stuff, flashed, via the tools of the left.
