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.

I have no idea what you’re talking about or what it really has to do with the storm.

Your apparent rationalizing doesn’t erase the fact that a few people here have been relentlessly dismissive and mocking in their posts. That doesn’t fare well with God, regardless.

Did you all speak this way on 9/11?

I sure as hell didn’t. No matter how full of liberals NYC is.

The other thing that irks me in the extreme is that I know some stats for New Jersey that don’t come to other people’s fingertips so easily. I know that New Jersey is one of the worst offenders for “repetitive loss flood compensation” from the Feds when they’re declared a disaster area time and time again.

A huge chunk of the US population lives in coastal counties in the US and a tad more than 50% of the US population lives within 50 miles of a coastline.

Given the number of federal resources that we’re having to pour into reconstruction, insurance subsidy and rescue operations in the coastal regions, I’m getting weary of having my pocket picked so that people can live near the beach. No one subsidizes my housing. No one is coming to rescue me when we’re buried in snow for a week or more on end, or when the power goes down and it’s -10F outside. I pony up the money to deal with that on my own.

Then to have to listen to the wailing and lamentations of people who have been flooded yet again... because they’re still living in coastal regions which have flooded before, have flooded again and will flood many more times in the future. This becomes tedious. These people just don’t take a hint. Mom Nature washes them away some years to decades ago (but within living memory), and they just rebuild on the same spot. Except now, they pick the pockets of the US taxpayer to help them do it....
