When one’s own money is depleted to pay for the rich Democrats of another place, either they will repay the money, provide disaster relief the same as for everyone else, or war will become the inevitable way people deal with disasters of a human variety.

Rich aristocrats starving the peasants and serfs with 90% taxation, until the serfs go crazy in famine and start killing people, including themselves. At least it’s a good way to maintain Green population controls.

Well, they could have taken care of it, if the feds had taken their money via taxes and spent it on Katrina, New Orleans, Detroit, California, and other Democrat fiefdoms.

One should never underestimate the power or veracity of evil, merely by brushing it off as a case of personality responsibility. Evil does not give a damn who is responsible, because it will take you and yours and pave a highway to hell. That’s about it, really.

No national coverage there either.

I also remember a joke about when a forecast of snow was broadcast: “ABANDON YOUR CARS NOW!”

However, when I heard a snow forecast in Memphis (I now live in Florida), I didn’t hear a warning about stocking up on toilet paper. Is this a Northern thing?

Amazingly we have power. It looks like the New London area was hit the worst in terms of power outage with about 80% out. the state is closed except for DOT, emergency, and power company trucks. It may be late tomorrow before we get out assuming a plow can get up our driveway.

More bad weather coming in Monday…. gotta love New england.

My bad. I believe however that they should expect to be treated the same as every other state. FEMA exists as I understand it for communities that are in desparate need. We all pay for it, like it or not. No president of any party should decide who gets it and who doesn’t. It Shouldn’t be a political issue.

Channel 7 has live streaming video of the whole deal. Just heard the weather guys say the “bands”will sit over some areas & temperature contrasts (boston is 30 So NH 18) will wring out all the moisture in the atmosphere, those areas may get 30+ inches, yikes !

I beg to disagree. They should not expect to receive help from the rest of us. Deal with it locally and on the state level. We have tornadoes, floods, droughts, blizzards, and ice storms in the heartland. Nothing new, same as it ever was. The reason other areas can not deal with catastrophes is because they never save for a rainy day. They tax and spend and when winter hits they are penniless.

Americans like to talk about taking care of each other, but when it comes to voting, there’s little thought given to the kind of thing you point out. No doubt the people hurt by this storm will expect the rest of the taxpayers to help, and they should get it if they need it. But it would be nice if they held the same feelings for others. Using federal disaster aid for political purposes is reprehensible, but nobody seems to have held BO accountable when he does.
