North Dakota News
This text is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of
North Dakota state after the recent snow storm.
WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a Historic event---
may I even say a "Weather Event" of
"Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches
of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down
utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed
ALL roads, isolated
scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
FYI:
George Bush did not come....
FEMA did nothing....
No one howled for the
government...
No one blamed the government
No one even uttered an expletive on TV...
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit
Our Mayor's did not blame Bush or anyone else
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else either
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit - or report on this
category 5 snow storm nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....
No one looted...
Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something
Nobody expected the government to do anything either
No Larry King, No Bill O'Reilly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews
and No Geraldo Rivera
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be
found
And
Nope, we just
melted the snow for water
Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow
engulfed
cars
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't
ask for a penny
Local restaurants made food and the police and fire
departments delivered it to the snow bound families
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers
We Fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns
We put on an extra layers of clothes because up here it is
"Work or Die"
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get
us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare
program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never
fallen this early...we know it can happen and how to deal with
it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets
north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% most of the world's social
problems evaporate."
It
does seem that way, at least to me.. I hope this gets
passed on..
Maybe ... SOME people will get the message ... The world does NOT owe you
a living..

Awesome, that's the pioneer spirit that made this country great!
And people can't see how socialistic we've become!

Actually in Maine the ie (Socialist State of Maine) our governor asks for Fema whenever the lights go out.

I believe if the Government will stop giving young healty working could be people, than these people wouldn't be receiving stay at home checks. In my day, my dad cringed on accepting welfare. He said welfare is for the handicapped and the blind who has fear of seeing.
In my day, we prayed for our leaders, and hoped for a good plenty. I was born in Michigan, where drifts were higher than the 3 stories buildings.
Nowadays, faith have departed the schools, the homes, and the government only hand picking has the faith that changes things. Your neighbor was there thru thick and thin instead of today your neighbor probably has been in the Penn.
Sure can't wait till Jesus comes back-There will be a whole lot of parties singing the hellalujah chior!
