It’s so presumptive and just not..fruit of the Spirit..the way you’re writing.

Firstly, this takes the ridiculous blame off of Trump and dispels the notion that somehow pouring money into failed FEMA or even the Weather Service are the answers…

Secondly, why does it why not makw points in a thoughtful way instead of ad hominem presumptions. Trying to discount and dismiss my voice on a public forum and accusing me of having some sinister agenda(?)

I’m from a fire and earthquake prone place so my radar is extra high when it comes to natural disasters and unpacking the state’s role in addressing these realities.

When you think of what our tax money goes to…from funding abortions to who knows what else, it’s high time that partisanship be placed aside as we realize natural disasters do not discriminate and all of our lives are on the line due to poor infrastructure. If basic safety is not within the realm of government jurisdiction, (state, local, AND federal) then really what is its purpose?

I'll admit I could have been more diplomatic. In my opinion there has been an inordinate amount of unfair misinformed criticism of Texas and our conservative leadership regarding the July 4th disaster here on FR. I assumed maybe wrongly that you are either not from Texas or not really a conservative, since you posted a 3 year old story from a far left newspaper, that any conservative Texan would not trust. Further, the story was 3 years old.

So I took TexanKamaAina's criticism to heart and replied to the Tribune's story with substance. Would you please in turn respond to my comments? You could also explain why you posted the story in the first place? You see it just feels like another pot shot at Texas to this Texan.
