F. No!
Those unprepared are simply too stupid to see this coming, meaing they are also the stupid that created the mess. If this country goes down it is because of the Takers, and once the system goes down they want to take what’s left??? F. ‘em.
In a word? No.
Ahems, Grasshopper, Ants.
It is selfish, but selfish isn't bad.
Only to the extent of our own morals and beliefs.
I personally am more of a coalition builder and am allied with friends and neighbors.
Really not high on my list of priorities. I don't belong to a Collective.
That will take discernment and charity on a case by case basis. My grandfather during the depression fed the hobos who followed the train tracks in south Chicago. In the city limits back then he and my grandmother, along with 9 kids had a cow a few pigs, a garden, basically they had food and enough to share. They always helped the hopeless.
In my book, Art Pepper was the greatest of modern jazz alto players. Above Bird, Konitz, Niehaus, Woods, etc.
I just hope that the prepper who lives closest to me is laying in a decent supply of red wine and cranberry sauce - because I really like that cranberry sauce.
Note to 50mm: buy more ammo - lots and lots of ammo.
Valerie tries again to sidestep her foolishness:
“OK, I Get It. Preppers Aren’t Selfish. I Was Wrong. I Apologize ...’
I wonder if it even occurred to them that they would have better luck continuing to ride the wagon if more people remained pullers and fewer competed with them to be riders.
Even the most patently corrupt Indian Tribal Counsel wanting to keep as much largess for themselves as possible has the sense to realize that the best way to do so is to strictly limit tribal membership among whom the stuff is divided.
Obamabots? Not so much.
No! Also I have not donated to hurricane Sandy relief, nor have I given money to other charitable orgs. I give my usual tithe on Sunday and that is it. I haven’t even taken tags off of our church’s giving tree. I’m not holding a grudge, I’m simply holding those people to the standards they’ve voted for.
Well she’s wrong on so many levels. Preppers are helping the community. Every prepper is one less person/family the community has to worry about helping for the common good.
Everyone has the ability and choice to prep for whatever emergency they think is likely.
The Lord helps those who help themselves(and not to your stuff).
Charity begins at home.
Consider the story of the Little Red Hen, and/or the ant and the grasshopper.
Now if the Little Red Hen or the ant wants to help the lazy takers and the ant wants to help the grasshopper they can, but not to the detriment of their own family.
It would be well though, if you have neighbors that aren’t preparing and can’t be convinced to prepare, if you decided now what you will do.
If you do not want to shoot them, then you had better put some stuff by for them too. JMHO.
Survival of the fittest, the strong the prepared.
The communist herd will have to either get rid of their idiotic herders so they can forage where the grass is gree, or they will die.
The bottom line is this, America is being invaded by a consuming flesh disease, its called communism.
And that disease wants nourishment so it can consume the body.
Let it starve so the body will survive.

1. We generously fund FEMA through the outrageous taxes we pay.
2. We will use our own supplies, rather than use FEMA aid, thereby ensuring more people can be helped.
How much more selfless can preppers be?
November 6, 2012 taught me one thing. Worry about yourself and your family. Screw everyone else. Barry says he has their back. He can worry about them. Maybe he’ll fly over in a FEMA helicopter to do a photo op while they are starving to death.
