I have been running into "Prepers" lately ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2012 #2

What is a "preper?" Not familiar with the term. montanto Jan 2012 #4

"Preppers" is kind of a new group - as in being "prep"ared DonP Jan 2012 #6

Ah, I see. montanto Jan 2012 #9

Most of us are, to one degree or another DonP Jan 2012 #10

And now we have Doomsday Preppers on NG MicaelS Jan 2012 #49

I thought he meant "prepster" aikoaiko Jan 2012 #14

They are called "Young Republicans." Hoyt Jan 2012 #43

Is that "preppers"? nt rrneck Jan 2012 #5

My spell checker did not like it either way ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2012 #13

I'm a Prepper, she's a Prepper, he's a Prepper, we're all Preppers... BiggJawn Jan 2012 #12

Alladin lights are great DonP Jan 2012 #15

What is this device? X_Digger Jan 2012 #16

Similar concept.... PavePusher Jan 2012 #18

Ahh, an oil lamp. X_Digger Jan 2012 #19

They're practrical for me DonP Jan 2012 #23

Might have to check em out. X_Digger Jan 2012 #24

Alladin's are very quiet too, none of that loud "hissing" you get with Coleman's DonP Jan 2012 #25

About as bright as a 40W bulb. BiggJawn Jan 2012 #36

I have 3 "engine lights" that graced the front of steam engines oneshooter Jan 2012 #27

Nice! X_Digger Jan 2012 #37

Well, not in Dublin, TX anymore. nt SteveW Jan 2012 #47

The "guns are evil death spewers" rhetoric has lost. It is a bankrupt stance with nothing to offer. aikoaiko Jan 2012 #3

Gun ownwers not fooled. E6-B Jan 2012 #11

I did like the part where they called Caroline Brewer burf Jan 2012 #7

Still beating that militia horse I see. That battle is lost - time to move on. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #30

Damn right. It's the truth... ellisonz Jan 2012 #31

Unfortunately history disagrees with you. hack89 Jan 2012 #34

Right-wing Supreme Court Justices disagree with me... ellisonz Jan 2012 #39

Most of the US population disagrees with you as well - you have no choice but to live with that. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #42

Not true. Population needs to understand what is going on with guns in public. Hoyt Jan 2012 #45

In this case, "understand" = "agree with me about" friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #50

They do understand that they have never been safer hack89 Jan 2012 #53

Safer? Not because of more guns. Besides, if you are safer, why do you want more guns? Hoyt Jan 2012 #55

I like guns because they are fun. hack89 Jan 2012 #56

even though she's wrong the militia is still made up of the people. ileus Jan 2012 #33

he* ellisonz Jan 2012 #40

Who are 'the people'? X_Digger Jan 2012 #38

We also have historically low levels of violent crime - you have never been safer hack89 Jan 2012 #29

When it involves guns in public parks, churches, restaurants, government buildings, etc. Hoyt Jan 2012 #46

So lower levels of gun violence is a RW position? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #52

More guns is a RW position. More guns have not caused gun crimes to decline. Give us a break. Hoyt Jan 2012 #54

But more guns have not decreased your safety so what's the big deal? hack89 Jan 2012 #57

Are you the appointed arbiter of determining "cheerleading far right issues and politicians"? PavePusher Jan 2012 #32

What is this? BiggJawn Jan 2012 #35

how does any of this follow? gejohnston Jan 2012 #41

Yep. Hoyt Jan 2012 #44

Unfortunately, your views are rather high-strung... SteveW Jan 2012 #48

"No true Scotsman", eh? friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #51
