I am really starting to get angry at alot of these FReepers - everywhere from simply dismissive to flippant and derisive, and cruel.
I saw some really obnoxious posts pre-storm from a few particular people who keep heaping it on. But now I’m also seeing add-ons from people simply dismissing anything that’s happened.
I’m tired of people crying about how “we’re ignored” (total BS - we heard about Katrina for a week before it hit; and we know about the super events in the midwest), and even more childishly bratty:
“our storm is better than your storm!”
OOOOOooooo, is this making me mad!
I’m finding it hard to now be rational and put down my genuine observations as someone who actually was concerned for once about a TS/hur heading this way.
Perhaps the damage to our liberty, no thanks to the decades of our liberty being dismissed, being derided, and our love for our country being flippantly rejected by cruel words uttered incessantly by liberals of New York City in particular, is greater than you estimate.
Adding to losses due to natural disasters, are those heavy losses of what we hold dear: our freedom and pursuits of life, liberty, property, and happiness, and for the duration of the Obama administration, *opportunity* -— you know, the things that liberals keep “working” at taking away from *you.*
You’re asking a lot, of people who would mount up 10 trucks loaded with fuel, electrical generators, food, blankets, chain saws, and some sidearms for personal protection ... then off to NYC and environs, to do what they can to help ... to only find, *cruelly,* that upon their reporting in to a Manhattan fire station, they are all arrested for carrying their .38 revolvers for which they all have concealed carry permits.
Please do not underestimate the weight upon our shoulders, merely by examination of the power of this or that storm system; there is much more involved here, for people who mostly only see trucks from the liberal media, which are breathlessly awaiting a chance to film a disaster west of the Hudson, and the only help from one of such production trucks, is the conservative soul who can while the “talking head” is looking the other way.
Much of this thread, and similar gratuitous ego-stroking re Sandy the past few days on others, is an embarrassment and a stain on FreeRepublic.
Well said.
