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.

My 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.

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!

What 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.!

t’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.

One 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.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
