    Completely agreed. I hope it didn't sound as though I was suggesting it should.

    Car kits (my term for go bags or 72 hour kit concepts) are a good idea, but in NO WAY replace the doctrine of food storage.

    Never did a WHFB army in Chaos, but I did have a small Chaos Space Marine army for a little while, 100% Thousand Sons/Ahriman Warband.  I decided with all the games I'm into I didn't need more than one army per game, so I sold them.  That's also about the time I started selling off my Beastmen.

    Obama is an unmitigated disaster, but he is doing pretty much exactly what he said (other than the more obvious and gratuitous lies about racial unity and such). Clinton talks out of both sides of her mouth. As far as I can tell, she is a liar to her core. In no sense can Ms. Vast-Right-Wing-Conspiracy-Tanked-My-Husband be considered fit for the job of POTUS.

    Math even children can understand:
    Usually, we have 100 people vote.  48 usually vote for the democrat, 48 usually vote for the republican.  Everyone fights to win the last 4 people.   Usually, the last four vote as follows: 
    1 vote for Floobian Humblestein, the enviro-weirdo who thinks trees have feelings and furrows his brow disapprovingly when he sees an SUV.
    1 vote for Hurmphord Smudge, the guy who wants to dismantle the EEOC, forest service, post office, IRS, and UN.
    1 vote for Yayhoo McTotallyBizarre, who has no coherent position on anything.  This vote is made in crayon, and misspells the candidate's name.
    1 vote for either the dem or republican, and this vote decides whether the US gets 8 years of dem or republican rule.
    But this time, things are different.
    100 people will vote.  Of the democrat voters, 45 go Hillary, and 3 actually go Trump .  The last 4 will do what they usually do.  Of the republican voters, 30 of the 48 go Trump.  The other 18 have a decision to make.  They can:
    - Vote for one of the three weirdos, which means Hillary will be elected.
    - Not vote, which means Hillary will be elected.
    - Write in Ryan, or Cruz, or Kaisich, or someone else, which means Hillary will be elected.  
    - Vote for Trump, which means Trump will be elected.
    You @NeverTrumpers have a choice.  Hillary or Trump.  There is no other viable option.

    I am a softcore #NeverTrumper.  No moral superiority here.  It's just that, in the past, "the lesser of two evils" was not really evil...just weak, or lame, or too moderate.  This time around I really see both candidates (Clinton or Sanders & Trump) as really really bad.  Clinton is much worse on policies, but Mr. Trump just disgusts me.  Those who see hope of him being a moderate, or a populist, who will actually negotiate and lead well...vote for Trump.  You'll get no judgment from me.
    I remain to be convinced. If Trump puts a seasoned, semi-conservative VP on his ticket AND says he'll put Cruz up as his first SCOTUS nominee--that would probably do it for me.

    If only there was a "lesser" of these evils to choose from...
     
    Hillary should be in jail.
     
    Sanders' policies, if actually implemented, would collapse what is left of our economy through runaway inflation. 
     
    And I dread the day "President Trump" would be faced with September 11 type obstacles where we all have to rely on his judgment  and sound logic to get us through the crisis... 
     
    How can I, in good conscience, vote for any of them?

    Why should I care about having a conservative on the ticket to lick Trump's boots?  Trump openly rejects conservatism in favor of populism.  The only reasons for him to get a conservative on the ticket are 1) you know you need us after all, after months of saying you didn't or 2) you know you're doomed in the general, and you want a conservative to take the fall (think Palin in 2008).
    Trumpkins hitched their wagons to a despicable candidate on a vaguely populist platform.  Don't come crying to us conservatives now that you see the mud flats up ahead and realize you can't make it through the muck without help.  We were the ones telling you from the get-go that your jackass was incapable of pulling the wagon.  
    You can go talk to all those "independent" voters you boasted would flock to Trump's banner, if you think you need someone to save your bacon. But as far as I, as a conservative, am concerned--you're on your own now.  Which, I note, is precisely where you threatened to leave us, in the event of a non-Trump nomination.

    I understand what you're saying, but we all have our own burdens and challenges.  Do I have the strength to live a celibate life if I were called upon to do so?  I admit I probably wouldn't but that's my failing.  I don't get to spew hate on others for my own trials and weaknesses.
    At the end of the day, guys like this vomit their hate on the Church for one reason only:  The Church refuses to validate them for their desires, and in today's political climate it's safe - even encouraged - to react in this way.

    Yeah no kidding!  I love that you're using the classic beakie Marines for the Inquisitors and the classic style Imperial Guardsmen for the cultists.  Very cool!  Your Chaos Warriors bring back memories of an opponent I battled a few times in a campaign our gaming group ran, and he was running Warriors of Chaos, Nurgle flavor.  My Bretonnians did reasonably well against him, (2 - 1 in the campaign) but the games were hard fought.
    Is Flavinius the Damned's head from a Space Wolf sprue?  And am I crazy or is the mutant sporting a Bretonnian Men-at-Arms helmet?   
    I also love the severed Grey Knight arm on the Bloodletter's base.  I take it the organs and living matter on the tanks is green stuff? 
    Your beakie marine Inquisitors reminded me of a Black Templar squad I recently completed after digging up some of my old marines I got back in 1990, and added a classic Rhino I got from a swap meet in the area.  I refurbished the marines and built the Rhino to be an all-retro Tactical Squad for my army:
