If you think the Republicans are just sitting around doing nothing, boy are you wrong!

This is from Free Republic. It is real. It is not a joke. It is important to know what the other side is up to--as Obama attempts to reach across the aisle and work with politicians who represent the interests and mindset of people like this. I'd say that Obama has the hardest job in the world, wouldn't you?

Just look at this...

Link:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2957088/posts


Today, I instructed my wife to prepare for post Obama election by doing the following:
1. Close out our bank accounts, checking accounts, savings account.

2. Eliminate and exist from all medical service programs, insurance, and destroy all medical records and ID numbers.

3. Destroy and toss all cell phones.

4. Take out and smash all black boxes in our vehicles. Will put on the road my 69 mustaang.

5. Cut up all credit cards and call to stop all transactions.

6. Call and stop propane gas shipments, will now burn firewood. Already have more than 500 cord stacked as a backup.

7. Buy only the bare necessaities and pay all bills with a money order.

8. Plan all travel areas, use back roads to avoid TSA agents.

9. Do not use landline telephone only in an emergency.

10. Call and turn off Direct TV.

11. End all computer web services.

12. Build a gate at the end of our driveway and keep it locked. Inform all friends and relatives to call first prior to a visit so the gate can be unlocked.

13. Get involved more heavily with local Tea Party to establish a third party, no more money to the GOP under any circumstance!

The list may be updated to include other more secret actions that the government need not know about here!

That would be, if neatly stacked, about one fifth of an acre 8 feet deep. Or to put it another way - if your house had 1600 square feet and 8 foot ceilings, you would need five such houses, completely filled with firewood to make 500 cords.

They only use it in an emergency, but friends have to call before they come over. If they're not answering the phone, what good would it do to call. And, if they have caller ID, and they know it's a friend, they're using the phone when it's not an emergency.

My guess is this is a Freeper infiltrator having a bit of fun at their expense.
