  Free thinking and tolerant indeed.

  I didn't say Tom wasn't a farmer, but his mindset is that somehow people who aren't farmers or producers by nature are going to come together and somehow, through kindness and understanding feed the completely desperate and doomed.

  "If you could read..."

  Mmmm, so you make the assumption that because I defend the common "Redneck" that I am uneducated as well?  I wonder what makes Liberals think that because they pay for a college education that they are somehow smarter than everyone else?  I have a college education, make over $100K a year, have two Avation Certifications and have never paid a cent for it.  I definately have never had to pay for student loans.  But apparently my education is worth less than yours...

  I'm not afraid of black people...besides Blacks, there are homeless Latinos, Whites and Native Americans on the streets as well.  In fact, my place of employment is far more diverse than you probably realize, and has been for decades long before the civilian job market adopted "diversity" as a base of employment criteria and long before Affirmative Action was law.  Somehow you equate a way of seeing to world with another, which is repugnant as it is completely off base.

  I just find it very ironic that Liberals pretend to care so much for people who could and would frankly care less for them in a SHTF situation.  In fact Liberals will most likely be taken advantage of, because they have no real world survival skills and believe it to be below them to acquire such skills.  And I'm not talking about going to REI to buy a tent.  I'm talking about farming, livestocking, hunting, canning  and preserving extended time away from the grid.  Having to spend weeks or months in the wilderness on little to nothing besides what you can procure on your own.

  They also believe that they have no right to self defense so if they are being taken advantage of they won't take the nessesary means to end the situation.  They will try to talk their way out of it.  I read sometime ago about a Liberal woman who wouldn't ever own or use a gun, because she was confident that she could talk her way out of being raped!  Sorry, I just don't see this as an effective way of solving the problem.

  So much for tolerance and understanding on this board, the idea of "free speach" here is "only if you think like us"  The Borg would be proud. "Less desirables"  WTF???  Again pre-assumption that knuckle dragging, gun-owning, ultra-male, extremists are beneath your enlightened way of thinking.  

  Ummm, I am amazed that when I step to the multi-million dollar aircraft that I fly for a living that you think I am actually beneath you in the food chain.

  Tom...food for the masses.

  Tom will die, and probably be eaten by all the people in his commune that don't know how to provide for themselves outside of going down to the local store that "magically" restocks itself everyday.

  This is typical of the "Non-survivalist" mindset.  An acute missunderstanding of what is going to happend when a large population without water, food or supplies starts to get really desperate.

  The enlightented, tolerant, thoughtful Liberals that over-populate our cities, will be competing with the homeless, impoverished, and racially  "diverse" individuals that are surviving on our streets everyday.  How ironic, that the people they have a bleeding heart for, will be better off in this situation, but ultimately just as doomed.

  The thing about Liberals in general is that they have no agricultural skills, they aren't the farmers, ranchers or providers in American, the much distained and looked down upon "rednecks" are.  The term "redneck" is actually related to the term "farmers tan", and with country folk in general.  Liberals aren't hunters, and they aren't producers, they are the end users and the consumers.  And they live in huge, over-clugged communities, that if something were to happen they wouldn't be able to get out and make it on their own.  

  On top of that they believe that "survivalists" are an example of the sterotyptical lunatic gun-owners, that stock up on beans, Chuck Norris DVD's, are "rednecks", "red-staters" and overall right-wingers and in the words of Bill Maher "shit-kickers".  And doing anything that fits into that profile is something out in "right-field".  So to be prepared and have a few weeks of food, water, and extra supplies is viewed as an extremist mindset and avoided.  They believe that nothing will happen and if it were to happen, it's the police/military/redcross/governments respondsibility to help them.  We all saw how effective that worked in NOLA, and that a small SHTF situation effected a very small city compared to LA or New York.

  Tom is another example of someone who has no real grasp of reality, his idealogy governs his common scence, which is lacking.  Instead of having some sort of plan, his plan is to let others take care of him.  Or to take food from the "rednecks" who are the ranchers and providers, and somehow all these people are going to somehow learn to farmer overnight.  This all fits into the socialist/communist mindset of taking from the rich for the betterment of the masses.  The "community" will benefit as a whole during this time of crises by the farmer giving up his property.  Regardless of the fact that besides being to one who owns it, he is the one who has put his blood sweat and tears into working it, and it was probably passed down through his family to him for generations.  But that isn't important because the "redneck" farmer who is intellectually inferior to these enlightened liberals is supposed to do the right thing and provide for them.  Because it doesn't fit into their ideals to take repsondsibility for themselves.

  Sounds like a statistic in a refuge camp to me.On More than peak oil or financial crash, I fear angry men armed to the teeth posted 1 year, 7 months ago 31 Responses
