I think it is actually worse than that.
There seems to be another liberal exercise underway in redefining actions and activities - much as liberals have been successful in redefining people as Homophobes, Birthers, etc.
Not so long ago our society considered independence, self reliance, saving money and planning ahead to be admirable character traits. They have now been replaced by reliance on government, spending beyond your means and living day to day.
Now, recently I have started to hear people who are prudent, plan ahead and stock up to prepare for possible emergencies referred to as hoarders.
Imagine what that thought process will lead to when/if a disaster hits an area, the shelves go bare and some people start thinking they don't have food because the "hoarders" have it all.
Yep. Those of us that prepare have. And that's why there are boxes of ammunition next to the canned goods. They can call me a "hoarder", but they surely won't call me an unarmed hoarder. Significant difference.
A real depression will be much different now because the societal norms and mores, those that deterred widespread lawlessness in the 30s, no longer exist. There won't be any noble hobos running around this time.
I don’t give a damn what liberals think about me. And, by the way, if they want to come after my stock, they better be extremely well armed.
