>I think us Red Staters who arent in the major cities will be fine.<

I wish I could agree with you — we now live in a country where those waiting for a hand out outnumber those having to reach into their backpocket. Either category has the right to vote.
Who do you think will win in the end?
The better armed, more cunning, and productive side.
They’ll riot in the cities, but do you really think the moochers can or would be willing to fight a conflict for freebies?
Look what is happening right before your eyes and take heed. Theres a Great Storm coming you can feel it.
Listen to what the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. NIV Proverbs 22:3
The fact is that many will not accept that a breakdown is occurring even as they watch it happening before their eyes. Why dont they realize it? Its caused by a condition called Normalcy Bias a mental state people enter when facing a disaster.
It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.
A good article on Normalcy Bias is on our own ChocChipCookies Blog The Survival Mom:

The riots in Argentina will be nothing compared to what we will see. Dont believe me? Just look at the Black Friday violence or the brawls that break out the day of a new released basketball shoe! And this is in a land of plenty!
This was in a news story about hurricane Sandy (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2953537/posts?page=33) In darkened neighborhoods, people walked around with miners lamps on their foreheads and bicycle lights clipped to shoulder bags and, in at least one case, to a dogs collar. A Manhattan handyman opened a fire hydrant so people could collect water to flush toilets. You can clearly tell at the office, or even walking down the street, who has power and who doesnt, said Jordan Spiro, who lives in the blackout zone. New Yorkers may not be known as the friendliest bunch, but take away their ability to shower and communicate and youll see how disgruntled they can get.
Sound familiar? Yes its petty much that favorite quote of mine that some have complained about:Let me tell you something about humans, nephew: Theyre a wonderful, friendly people - as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those friendly, intelligent, wonderful people...will become as nasty and as violent as the most blood-thirsty klingon. Quark from: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8) (1998)
You either prepare and stand on your own beholden to no one or you become dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become their serf. Me I dont want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly dont want to have to kiss some gubberment third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I dont want some jack booted thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I dont want to be shut up in with a bunch of zombies and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.
Its your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national news.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpful. You can download it at:
http://tomeaker.com/kart/Preparedness1j.pdf NOTE! THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD. I DO NOT MAKE ONE CENT OFF MY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL!
For those of you who havent started already its time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.

There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger. Underestimation can be fatal.
if it gets that bad they won’t be the only place to move to. but it’s not a bad plan z.
The dirty little secret is that the world power brokers hate a US Democrat as President. Only the brainwashed serfs and their state MSM thinks otherwise. The reasons are skillfully illustrated by the author.
Obamas Communist Agenda for Amerika is being rapidly accepted by all who fear his brutal might.
Or are part of the feeding frenzy.
One thing about America, anybody can be a president, even the kid that got his jollies kicking down other kids sand castles.
I pity Obama, for God is given him a big cup to fill with wrath. Some men are made for destruction. Obama must have a dark heart indeed.
” - - - Obama must have a dark heart indeed. - - - “
Yup.
B. Hussein Obama IS the Anti-Christ for America.
The minds and emotions of Obama’s voting enablers have been frozen into oblivious support for whatever Obama wants to do.
Nicoleae Carpathia in the fiction book “Left Behind” is what Obama is in real life.
Those who see, and those who hear are ignored or otherwise marginalized by the Obama enablers.
As America struggles to awake from its “White Guilt” first Election (2008), the dawning reality of its first Bolshevik Communist Election (2012) has yet to reach the fear level of action that is the hallmark of American response to mortal danger, for example the Pearl Harbor response in 1941.
To put it in an historical context, the 2008 Election of B. Hussein Obama was analogous to the Japanese Fleet leaving Tokyo Bay for Pearl Harbor.
The Passage and Court approval of Obama’care’ was equivalent to the bombing of The Arizona on 12-7-41.
We are finished as a Republic as long as we continue to hire RINOs to be doormats for Communist Obama’s enablers.
The blame goes not to the Communists, as they are just doing what Communists do best.
The blame goes to the loyal supporters of our Republic who are in very short supply in the US Congress.
The end of our Republic will not end well if the current RINO domination of the US Congress continues - - - .
Ever heard of dugouts? Oklahoma Territory had plenty even before the depression. Man survives UNcomfortably, but he can surely survive. Arid country can make wood hard to come by food is as God provides, in spite of the government and before government.

for physical violence, avoid the blue states and blue cities...
but overall, the govt will get to you if it wants too...
its the cabal that is powerful...
what I don't understand is..every maifia king has his enemies..who are bammeys?......why hasn't there been push back?
rats held the HOUSE for 40 yrs....we didn't fall apart as a nation....we didn't become a laughing stock....
its the democrats that changed....
they USED to be for the little guy, strong supporters of the military, strong religous backgrounds...
now look at them...porn...abortion...homosexual adoption and homosexuals openly in the military...cutting defense unless its in their little district...
lets blame the Rat party for becoming communist....don't worry....there will be plenty of blame for the rinos...
