Pro-government, Obama supporter, Doomsday Prepper: "We're not in it to stockpile, but take what YOU have!"http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/11/08/2880656/national-geographics-doomsday.htmlNational Geographic's ‘Doomsday Preppers’ visits Buckley survivalist groupBy CRAIG SAILOR

Nuclear war. Volcanic eruption. Terrorist attack.
Though the scenarios of how an apocalyptic event would paralyze or destroy society varies, a group of like-minded individuals in East Pierce County believes a good defense is the best way to prepare for doomsday.
And some believe a good offense is even better.
“We’re not in it to stockpile. We’re in it to take what you have and there’s nothing you can do to stop us,” Tyler Smith says. “We are your worst nightmare, and we are coming.”
...
Spartan Survival is not a political group, Smith says. Contrary to expectations, he says he is pro-government and a supporter of President Barack Obama.
“I totally love this country and I would do anything for it,” Smith says. “We feel we’re doing a service to our nation by being prepared.”
He and his compatriots just fear what might happen if society breaks down. They plan on being survivors, not victims.
Most preppers, Smith says, are concerned with marauders taking their supplies. It’s not an unfounded fear, he says.
“We are those people,” he says. “We’ll kick your door in and take your supplies. … We are the marauders.”
