More about Moore

About the warnings…

This is a very important point considering how many “they had little to no warning” comments are being made in the media. It’s not true.

One More Time: Moore Had Plenty of Warning by Mike Smith (Check out his book Warnings. I’ve read it and it’s a great read.)

Speaking for my family we knew 3-4 days before the event that the weather was going to be an issue. During tornado season I check the weather daily to see what is being forecast. I also can attest to the fact that the NWS did a bang up job. They put out warnings in a timely fashion which definitely saved lives.

They can’t force people to take shelter. At a certain point you have to take responsibility, watch the damned weather, and haul your ass to shelter!

The media should know that people who have just been through an extremely horrific event are in shock. They say things they might not actually mean. I’m sure there were some that didn’t know what was going on. But that is NOT the fault of the NWS. They and the local mets did an incredible job.

About those none existent shelters in Oklahoma…

Why Don’t More Homes in Oklahoma Have Basements?

I live in an apartment. I’d LOVE to see the pool dug up and a safe room put up in our courtyard. Honestly? I think it should be required in any apartment complex. Unfortunately they won’t allow me to turn our bathroom into a safe room.

I think people are missing one thing in all of this.

Yes, people died and it’s a tragedy.

But how many people survived?

People who didn’t have a safe room, basement, or shelter?

The people who crawl out of hallways, closets, and bathrooms are a miracle in my opinion considering how strong a tornado struck their homes.

That the death toll is not larger is a miracle.

Tornado

I’ve seen people ask “What do you do?”..

You hold onto your loved ones. You look at your child’s face and you remember the first time you held him, the times he was sick, the first time he walked, his first word, the smile when he’d see you come into his room in the morning, the first time he hugged you and told you he loved you.

You look in your Husband’s eyes and every moment you’ve shared flashes through your mind. Memories of saying “I do”, when he held you when you cried, his face when he saw his son for the first time, holding him while he cried when his Father died.

You tell them you love them.
You cry.
You kiss them.
You tell them goodbye.

My heart is breaking for the victims of yesterday’s tornado in Moore.
It struck five miles from where I live. We will grieve for those who have been lost.
Oklahomans will then do what we always do. We’ll donate our money, our time, and whatever we have.

We don’t give up.

You can’t be a coward and live out here.

“US issues worldwide caution to its citizens of terror threats”

Read this link and laughed my ass off. I love how government idiots phrase things. Such as these delightful paragraphs:

It said extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests.

Examples of such targets include high-profile sporting events, residential areas, business offices, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, public areas, and other tourist destinations both in the United States and abroad where the country’s citizens gather in large numbers, including during holidays, the State Department said.

In other words.. everywhere. Damn fine example of CYA. lol

Shut up!

ENOUGH with the “goodbye America” “it’s the end of America” shit! Get a fucking grip!

Enough with the “Romney was the perfect candidate” shit. He wasn’t. He was stiff. He didn’t fight Obama in the last debate. He tried to be the “adult”. Worked out great didn’t it?

The problem is that the electorate are fucking children. They’re attracted to shiny objects, to people who are cool, they relate to American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Pinterest, Tumblr, Facebook, etc.

Romney was NEVER going to win their vote.

Who should run next time? Fuck how about we give it a rest for at least a couple of fucking weeks people! But since it seems to be the topic of conversation I’ll bite.

First fire all of the Republican campaign managers. NOW. Running a campaign old-school will not work. You’ve got to run a campaign differently. The candidate must be attractive, relaxed, playful, comfortable with media, and have the ability to appeal to the idiocracy electorate. Yes, we are dealing with people who think “I like money”. Watch the movie.

Do not BUY anything the left is saying. I see people grasping at straws. We have to run Rubio or Jindal. No. That’s what they want you to do then they’ll accuse us of pandering to ethnic groups. Have you people not learned anything in the past 30 fucking years? Christ.

We need candidates who are skilled at deflecting questions. If asked about abortion they should respond forcefully that the election is NOT about abortion it’s about the economy. How intelligent is it that women are voting on someone based on their desire to have abortions OVER having a job or food to eat? They’re fucking idiots man!

Some are saying it’s because of the damned hurricane that he was elected. For fucks sake how smart are people who watch a man who for 4 fucking years has played golf and fucked around and fucked up but during the last 3 fucking days of the campaign he actually does his fucking job and they re-elect him?

I know it’s difficult to accept that our children and grandchildren are dumber than a bag of hammers but it’s the truth. Embrace it. Only then can you go forward and POSSIBLY win a future election.

The Day After

Needless to say I will be once again not speaking my mind for four fucking years. I have a powerful need to eat.

Make of that what you will.

I will say this. I’m looking at this situation as if the zombie apocalypse has finally happened. Half of our country has been infected with stupidity and greed. I will get in shape physically and medically, cut back on spending, cut back on CHARITY, and prepare for the worst.

Cut back on charity? My husband and I donate more to charity than the Vice President of this country and he makes a hell of a lot more than my Husband!

The blue states can do without this red staters help. No longer will I send aid to people who continue to vote for our country to careen down the path to hell. They don’t need my help. They already get MY MONEY from the government. New York and New Jersey? Before last night I would have donated. Not now. I’d prefer to help those in my area when the need arises. You see for four fucking years every time something has happened here that involved a natural disaster the Administration kicked us in the balls because we chose to vote for McCain. I’m sure after last night our “loving” relationship will continue.

Screw blue states. I’m helping red states. Not another fucking farthing will I send to be sucked down the toilet of the liberal philosophy.

If you live in a blue state and you’re conservative get the hell out of there. Come out here. We’ll treat you with respect, be friendly, and help you when you need it. It’s what we do. Our weather is mild, our economy is decent, and you’ll be around like minded people. If not Oklahoma how about Texas or some other red state?

IMO, there should be a mass exodus from blue states. It’s time.

I’m not going to get depressed. Can’t do that. My life will center around my family. I can’t change the political situation but I can protect those I love.

Movies

I’ve been watching a lot of movies. There are a few I thought were decent. Keeping in mind that YMMV and my taste can be a bit odd. lol

I saw Ironclad mentioned on Breitbart and gave it a shot. Excellent movie but if you’re squeamish or sensitive I’d skip Ironclad because of one scene. Thank god my kid wasn’t watching! ;)

Pontypool is a different kind of zombie movie. It has an interesting twist. Action takes place in one building but the tension builds up until the end. Excellent movie.

The Tall Man is different. VERY different. If you’re into politics at all you’d probably be interested in it. It is in the horror section but it’s in the wrong category. It’s NOT a horror movie. It’s about poverty and the welfare of children. How to describe it without giving anything away… we all know how people claim to care for the welfare of children.. aww crap I can’t explain without giving away the movie. Try it! A thought provoking and very good movie. It pissed me off. The movie stereotypes the poor. I hate that. (My family have never had money. I see it from THAT point of view.) Watch it and you’ll see why!

Netflix links (All can be viewed by streaming as of this time):
Ironclad
Pontypool
The Tall Man

Adding two more that honestly broke my heart. I cried during and after watching these two movies.

The Flowers of War

Sarah’s Key

Get out and vote!

I already have… a couple of weeks back. The Dems are going to try and freak us out by claiming victory early. Don’t fall for it people! They and their flunkies in the media will do anything to win another 4 years of hell from Obama.

Do the right thing.

Hopefully after election night I’ll be able to actually post..

The day I realized that I had to be quiet because my Husband worked for the Man it broke my heart.

GET YOUR ASSES OUT AND VOTE SO I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT TO SAY!

Until then I’m going to ignore polls and crap and watch some movies.. think I’ll make a post about what I’ve seen lately that was decent!
