    Great write up Phil. She must not know what she's talking about...

    Apparently you were supposed to go through all of the stats in all of the articles she linked too and refute them (whether she specifically the stat or not.)

    Lol Bryce, thanks for the tip! I guess I should have kept on keeping on debunking her. Here I thought it was a mercy to her. Guess I'll need to do an update too! :)

    Where there is a will there is a way. Where there is fire there is smoke. Where there is a liberal there is a lie.

    While the first and second can rarely not be the case, the third is as dependable as the sky being blue.

    As for being worried about preppers rebuilding after the collapse; it only makes sense that constitutionalist would rebuild since constitutionalist built it the first time.

    One uneducated liberal does not represent the whole. I'm about as liberal as the come...Obama is a moderate in my view, and I'm not too pleased with him right now. But, I'm a prepper and read your blog regularly, so I don't like feeling attacked because of someone else's opinion and comments. I didnt read her article and don't plan to, but I'd like to continue reading your blog, so help me out here. THanks.

    I think that's exactly the point. Being a Prepper is not some party-toeing viewpoint. Yes, it's easy to highlight those that are considered conservative (on a flat plane) right now, but in reality the mindset is one of self reliance. And while we may not agree on many points, we can all help each other be prepared.

    Soon I'm going to repost another friends response to this post, and he is definitely more liberal than I in many situations, but he had another great perspective in responding to both articles.

    Speaking as an Obama-loving liberal, may I say that most of the things you talk about on this site seem like good common sense (except, of course, that good sense is anything but common :)

    Sure, we disagree about some political issues. Maybe even *most* political issues. But winter driving? Being prepared for a financial emergency? Staying away from credit cards? That stuff is just basic, intelligent stuff we should all be doing, regardless of politics!
