Conservatives being the self reliant types will come out of the blizzard intact. Liberals on the otherhand being reliant on others for their wants and needs will turn into the Donner Party redeux if there’s cosmic justice.

“Conservatives being the self reliant types will come out of the blizzard intact. Liberals on the otherhand being reliant on others for their wants and needs will turn into the Donner Party redeux if there’s cosmic justice.”

Just need to turn back to a little story with a great moral to it authored by a guy named Aesop.

The Ant and the Grasshopper

In a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

“Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?”

“I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same.”

“Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present.” But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.

When the winter came the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing, every day, corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer.

Then the Grasshopper knew...

Moral of the story? It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.

It’s tough to be a Vegan in the sub-arctic of a snow-pocalypse. Looking on the bright side, they’ll be fewer Lefties after the glaciers recede. ;-)
