reporter files story from n.y. saying usa now a 3rd world country
OK, if I hafta see red on this one so do you.
Or maybe I should just post some of the comments made by various ppl at the link. Then let you see the whole article.
Right. That’s a different way to do it.
A weak brained unprepared and homely as sin Brit reporter stationed in N.Y., has reported that America, well, here’s her headline.
Superpower? America’s a Third World country… Look what happened in New York after a damp squib of a hurricane sent the US into panic
By SHARON CHURCHER
So a bunch of folks took exception to her take on the USA. Including your’s truly.
Here are some of the comments that follow the article. And some you won’t like at all.
PRO AMERICA
So this confirms Sharon is a Democrat as I commented in her ignorant article on the Help. You had 7 days warning that this hurricane was coming and you took no time to prepare. Instead you sat back to wait for the Government to come and rescue you. I bet you thought that Barry would come to the rescue because you believe he is everything you think Bush is not. I sure hope that he did not disappoint you. Next time BE PREPARED. You seem to be able to dress yourself.
THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY! And let me remind everyone that America is a Republic NOT a Democracy. We do NOT rely on the government to help us… we help ourselves. Stupid, selfish, wimp of a woman.
If my dog developed a face like hers, I’d shave it’s backside and teach it to walk backwards. bow-wow says her “cottage “ is 2,200 sq. ft. That is not a cottage.
- jayd, winchester, uk, 4My parents, in ill health and in their 80s in New Jersey managed all right during Irene’s visit. Why? Because they were prepared. My mom was so laid back about the whole thing. They have a supply of batteries, canned food, a stocked up freezer (2 in fact) if the electricity doesn’t go off which it didn’t, a pile of chopped wood for the pot belly stove in the living room. And what do we hear? One whinging British woman who is a guest in the US. Why doesn’t she ask for a different assignment if she hates the US so badly. I’m sorry, did he have a sex change? She looks more like a he.
- dm, Home Counties/New Jersey,Wow. It was a power outage, not a famine or some sort of apocalypse. They knew this storm was coming for days, had ample time to prepare, and if they had looked at their state, FEMA, or state dept. website, would have known exactly what to do. She should have had enough food, water, and petrol for a week, the neighbor should have had more than enough oxygen, and they should consider themselves extremely lucky to have a generator. Most people can’t afford one! I’m blessed with a gravity fed spring, so I’m never out of water, whereas most of the people who are connected to a water main had their water shut off until after the storm. Stop complaining and learn to take care of yourself as most Americans who don’t live in exclusive areas do. What would you do if there was a real disaster that totally crippled the power grid?! Could you feed yourself? Find water, keep yourself warm? Stop depending on everyone else to save you, and stop whining!
- mhughes, NC, USA, 4/9/2011 18:08What a thoroughly horrible selffish self centered woman. She lives in a wonderful area - Fairfield County CT and Westchester County NY are probably in the top 10 places in the world to live with very rare natural disasters - the last Hurricane was Gloria in 1985 - Go away and live somewhere else - Our taxes pay for a wonderful lifestyle - and we don’t need people like you living amongst us - Go see how it feels to be in a monsoon in India or a Typhoon in The Phillipines or an Earthquake in Japan - just go away please and leave our hardworking Utility people and Emergency workers to do their jobs without you barking down the phone at them.

AND A FEW THAT THINK AMERICA SUCKS INCLUDING AN AMERICAN CRITIC.
To EVERYONE of you so-called ‘patriotic’ American’s condemning this article....."You’re missing the freakin’ point!!!” And I’m not about to explain it all to you here, because you still wouldn’t get it! Switch off your TV’s and attempt to refrain dumbing yourselves down even more, by intoxicating your minds with mindless football, baseball and Hollywood rubbish (because sadly, most of you happen to be experts on those topics). Instead, educate yourselves and WAKE UP to what’s actually happening with your own Government and downward-spiraling country!!! I understand that you might at first find it difficult to get those McDonald’s nourished brain cells pointing in a different direction, but at least give it a go… you may just save what little you have left of the real constitutional U.S of A.!
- Gary, London, EUSSR (ex-USA resident) , 4/9/2011 17:51t’s amazing how Americans refuse to pay for proper infrastructure like electric pylons or buried cables, houses made of stone, etc. yet spend all their money on beauracratic inneficiency and the largest military force in human history which can’t even cope with a few guys in turbans riding motorbikes.
- Jake Wheeler, London, 4/9/2011 17:1One reason for telegraph poles (and many other things) not being replaced is because of the unwillingness of Americans to pay taxes. They fail to understand the connection between higher taxes and replacing infrastructure. Yet, when a bridge in Minneapolis collapsedsome years ago, people blamed “the government.” There are many more instances of this kind of thing. People ignore the long term effectsof their parsimony

Now then bmews readers, to see what it was the homely bow-wow wrote about us, click on her face below and then bleach your mouse. You need to see the kind of mis-information this schmuck is writing back to the readers here. And she must be making big bucks to live where she is and call a 2200 sq ft house, a cottage. A bit of snobo ya think? Go on. Take a look.

For sure the left in all countries are strictly 3rd world, or that is what they wish on those not in the party! Im sure some states resemble 3rd world but the soppy tart should stop equating taxes with infrastructure repairs, there is way more tax revenues than needed if they would stop paying it in to the thinly disguised offices of the communist party, and yes that means unions and welfare.

Another eurotard who simply cannot grasp the scale that is the western hemisphere, and no idea of the ferocity of weather that is the norm over here. Imagine if you can a storm that rains on Brussels, yet Dublin floods. Or a downpour hits London, yet Zurich nearly drowns. That’s about the scope of Irene. Some of the worst flooding in NY state was hours north and west of the ocean.
Let’s see how well Paris, Berlin, and Madrid deals with a third of a meter of rain in less than a day, when all of Europe is getting that much water at the same time, from Lisbon to Krakow, and from Bremen to Palermo. Soggy Froggys much? The rain in Spain can’t make it down the drain? Ha, there’d be deaths by the thousands.
We are a big country and we get big weather. The record shattering cold and snow that brought the UK to it’s knees last winter would not have even canceled school in Maine. Hell, they got that much snow in the southern city of Washington DC. It sucked, but in a day or two it was all cleared out. England whinged for months about the lack of plows and road grit. Cheezus. Loo. Zers.
Ok, it can be argued that Mayor Bloomberg went a bit overboard. Better safe then dead. And it was tens of millions of people impacted by the torrential rains and flooding; a full fifth of the US population lives in the north east corridor, and most of them live with 75 miles of the coast. So poor little miss fugly had to run a generator to power her hair dryer? Oh, cry me a river, that’s so “third world”. Not. Real third world doesn’t even know what a hair dryer is, and is grateful for a sliver of soap to have a small wash once a week with.
And poor her once again, she had no electric to run her stove. Boo hoo. But there’s no gas in my swanky town! she complains. Yeah, that’s the case for millions of us. We have a solution; it’s called a propane tank. Or an axe and a few cords of hickory. Whiner.
And she had no water, even though her home has it’s own well and she had a generator. What kind of bullshit is this? Fix it yourself sweetie; it’s called freedom. But no, all this socialist leach can do is complain that there wasn’t enough government fast enough. Mental deadbeat.
And of course Chris is right - it isn’t the level of taxes, it’s the BS overhead that sucks so much of it up and keeps most of it from doing what it was supposed to do in the first place.
Oh, and you know what I DIDN’T notice in her article? I didn’t read ONE SINGLE WORD about how she pitched in and helped out, whether it was wielding a chainsaw to clear downed trees, working with the relief groups to pass out donuts and blankets, or even being a monitor at any of the dozens of the shelters small towns and private organizations put together on the fly to support their neighbors in peril. Not a word, because it was all about ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME and my horrid inconveniences. Fuck you.

OOF,
Looks like she’s got a nasty attitude because her face was hit by a cat-5 Hurricane and even FEMA couldn’t rectify the damage!

If NY and a lot of the liberal coasts were NOT subsidizing illegals, welfare fraud and non-productive takers - not to mention all union and public officials gold plated retirements and healthcare benefits - there would be - wait, no there wouldn’t be repairs/upgrades because these areas are also firmly controlled by - the EPA - which is stifling all sorts of construction and businesses in every way they can.
The EPA couldn’t get cows done away with under the Goracles Glowball Warning bs - so now in CA - they have started to declare hay as a pollutant.
Defund 50% of gov - and America would be a superpower in 6 months (IRS, EPA, Dept of Ed, Illegal aliens and Obamacare at the top of the list).
What does it cost to buy a case of water when you go shopping to have for emergencies? A camp stove and some fuel? Canned goods or camping food?
What a schmuck.
Parts of America are in third world shape - not a single one she mentioned, even after the storm. But America will never be a third world country - as We The People are better than that, better than our current (P)resident and better than letting our freedom and independence being handed over to morons, idiots and liars (except for this past election - which many, many people attempted to warn the rest about - but the NBPP and ACORN cheated to git r done). We will survive - and I agree with the other commentors - GO HOME.

Sarah Palin, IA speech, Sept. 3, 2011.And we see that America is hurting. We’re not willing to just sit back and watch her demise through some “fundamental transformation” of the greatest country on earth. We’re here to stop that transformation and to begin the restoration of the country that we love.
As long as 1 Patriot stands up and says NO there will always be hope for Tomorrow in America.
Read a great moniker for Obama in the comments section of a story this AM -
The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers!

A third world America would still be better than most 1st world countries. Silly twat.

Ok why are you taking any notice of her? Im from England and can assure you few over there understand the USA (I cannot understand the support for socialism either!) I love Top Gear and Clarkson but look how shocked they were when an american car was good! the stereotypes and the damage done to the reputation in the 40s lives on (overpaid, over sexed and over here) then there is the envy bit, our old colony made better than good! and then you have the Obama democrats proving all the stereotypes true!! but still why take that harpie to heart, or any euro fool, look at the unholy mess they have made trying to emulate the USA?(look up french for the USA and EU!!)
Me I escaped from their socialist utopia with what was left from a lifetimes work (bastard Soros, owes me 5 years of my life when he crashed the pound and he owns Obama!) England recovered from Soros for a while until the socialists killed it!Posted by Chris Edwards 09/05/2011 at 10:23 AM
That woman is really hairyuglocentric. Her looks are equal to her attitude. Yuk.
Why didn’t she have her 77 year old neighbor plug the oxygen machine into her generator?
Typical liberal!
