What is really sad is the people who go on these shows think they are doing us a good turn. Reality TV does no good for anyone period. It gives people like the New York Times cannon fodder to go after anyone who preps. It gives the LEFT a ton of material to push for more restrictions against all of us. It is very sad. GB

I have never figured out why folks insist on believing such twaddle that shows other folks who have other ideas as somehow nut jobs. I used to see it with religion - if you didnt subscribe to someone else's personal beliefs they would believe all kinds of wierd rumors about your religion; then it was political beliefs; now it is preppers. All I can say is that they have not talked to enough real preppers, but rather to folks who knew no preppers personally and were basing things on 'things they heard on the street'.
Reporters have lost their ability to detect BS. Apparently they are pressed to turn out stories quickly and hang the accuracy. Just run it past legal to make sure nobody gets sued.....

I think these shows and the people they continually parade out as examples of 'preppers' are designed to highlight their differences from the 'average' people out there and to cast derision on the 'lifestyle' or 'movement'. That is the first step to making those who prepare being seen as outcasts from normal society. Then it will much easier to enact laws and round up these 'nut-jobs' for public safety.
Tin-foil? Or just being verrrrry aware of what is happening? I dunno, it seems to be too organized to me. Of course, I never laid claim to being 'average' or 'normal either.Brokedownbiker
If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Gov't, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin

Gives a good example for living a comitted, "gray" life. Funny how there's no serious outcry about the lack of education or destruction of morals and families with shows like Jersey shore or one of the hundred "Housewife" shows. Too bad they can't put a real housewife on T.V.!

Have you not noticed that the first step in handling someone you don't like (for liberals) is to make fun of them? Then you tell everyone how 'dangerous' they are... Then you drum up an 'emergency' that you can blame them for... Then you can get rid of them through legislation passed in the hysteria of the manufactured emergency. (BTW, I like my tinfoil hat.)
I worked many years in Madison, Wisconsin, also known as 'little berkely' during the 60s. There are many folks there that are so liberal they go to their bosses trying to get folks fired that do not conform to their political agenda, claiming they 'can't work with them'. Few bosses have the courage to say "Well, you better, because it sounds like a personal problem to me." Many of the 60s college liberals stayed and got gub'mint jobs as well. Needless to say, I learned to 'submarine' (or live gray, if you like) early on. That is why I was glad to find this forum; it gets lonely out there in liberal land.Last edited by kappydell; 03-16-2012, 03:08 PM.

No racism here. My bullets don't discriminate. They treat ll their targets equally!Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Ok Dave and Bob. I echo what the letter writer in your video asked, "Are you the same person?"...LOLFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

I agree. And I do watch the show because I have actually gleaned some useful info from it from time to time. Plus, it's entertaining. I personally would NEVER divulge my plans or stockpiles on National TV. I agree with 1Admin, this show won't last very long.Originally posted by Swordarm4 View PostI'm not racist , when the SHTF everyone is prejudged and treated as a threat until they prove otherwise.

I did not realize that Wisconsin, or at least Madison was so liberal. I can imagine how they reacted when the state passed the Concealed Carry Law. LMAO!!Originally posted by kappydell View PostI worked many years in Madison, Wisconsin, also known as 'little berkely' during the 60s.

New York is one of the most racist , ethnic oreinated citys on the face of the earth. Each small area within the city is considered Irish , Itallian, Hispanic, Asian or Black.
If you walk through the wrong neighborhood you can be beaten killed or raped just for being the wrong color or wearing the wrong color hat.
Let some callamity hit where there is no clear common enemy and lets see how they react.

Bill I spent my first 15 years of life in Maryland(4 miles south of D.C.). I remember even in the 60s and 70s it was the same way there. We kept our eyes forward, didn't wave at anybody out of friendliness and didn't speak to anyone unless we needed to. Don't miss that at all!Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

Well since the human race is a race, I am a racist. As I will thoroughly kill, with multiple weapons if need be, any member of the HUMAN RACE that is intent on bringing harm to my family. Yes sir, I am a racist, and your point is?
SORRY, just a little twisting of the words my grandfather use to say everytime a black man called him a racist white farmer.
Had to lighten up the thread a little bit.
Too many people like to throw around the racist card.
Why cant it just be I DONT LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A FREELOADING LIBERAL?

I'm with you Klayton. I don't have a racist bone in my body but I am prejudiced against anti-constitutional "freeloading liberals"!Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
