The liberal take: "Obama hugged a couple of people. We have the video! Everything is fine. Move along."

The take of the fake "conservative" subset of FReepers: "Everything is fine. No food, no heat, no gas, no clean water? Stop whining!"

Reality: Many individuals made substantial provisions for contingencies, but local, state and federal governments apparently did not. As those individuals reach day 5 of consuming their provisions, there is little supplementation from public services. All those exorbitant taxes have apparently bought nothing.

I agree with everything you've said except calling that subset of Freepers "fake conservative". I suspect they're real conservatives. They're also a-holes.
