Liberals Can Be Preppers, Too (www.talkhouse.com)

By now, we’re all caught up with the reality that natural disasters are everywhere, whether it’s hurricanes in New York, ice storms in Texas, wildfires in California, or tornadoes in Illinois. Getting caught in one isn’t an if, it’s a when. And we’re no longer in a world where we can expect the power to come back within 48 hours. Emergency services could take days to get to us. They could take weeks. Yet still, the term “prepper” is sneered at, associated with a host of political and even religious beliefs, and reviled by folks considering themselves good liberals, progressive thinkers, science-based minds.

I'm pretty liberal, but I have a decent cache of emergency food, water, ham radios, and weapons. Why would being liberal mean you don't prepare for the unexpected? If liberals fancy themselves the thinking party, then they should definitely be thinking about being prepared.
