I would call it common sense. I know a lot of Conservatives who think the same way including me. It is called independance and not relying on others and for emergency situations.
Darn straight. Common sense, saves money and energy, and any conservative should appreciate that.
Well said! Thanks.
We all know FEMA is going to react quickly to any disaster and come down our street specifically with police protection, food, water, generators and shelter. Because they say they will. Thats good enough warning for me to take basic survival into my own hands.
A good Scout is prepared.
yep. Common sense - and living in an arid area makes it doubly so.
As to the 4000 sq ft - Not surprising, knowing the Bushes and their values. They don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone...they are just good, decent, down-to-earth people with their values on straight.
Unlike the last people in the White House, they don't take their vacations in Martha's Vineyard or Palm Beach, etc - and don't feel the need of a mansion - (or a castle, as slick willy was once looking into in Europe,) to make them feel they are important.
The Bushes are simply living the way people should who live in a water starved area - you don't waste it if you want to continue having it.
