An outstanding commentary in so many ways, that spares no one and no truth.
I guess it’s now OK that we can’t clear the land around our houses? Sure, good commentary there.
You can’t clear the land around your house? Could you explain that a bit more?
Excellent piece, Moran is right on the mark.
I don't live in CA. I, personally, can hack whatever I want out.
Very little of this Katrina horror story stuff actually happened. Certainly no mass rapes, of babies or anybody else.
These were rumors, published at the time as "reported" to have happened, but since then acquiring somehow the status of facts despite their having been proved to not have happened.
People believing these stories had a lot to do with the slow response. Aid workers thought they needed a massive military escort to enter the jungle.
I don't care much for writers who have to reach like that, just to look "balanced" to their friends in the biz.
I must disagree, we conservatives are a hardy bunch in Ca. But! We can’t control our own destiny, unless we fight back against the liberal spin machine.
I doubt Rick believes that either, but your point is very well taken. The reality of Katrina was soon lost amidst a holocaust of media hysteria, picked up by the Left, and they’re still all harping on it.
A lot of good was done in that situation, both publicly and privately. It’s a shame the stigma has stuck all this time.
I knew this would rub a lot of people the wrong way, because it IS balanced. But I agree with him.
(Randi Rhodes Suggests That Blackwater Started California Fires)
Apparently she claims that Arnolds staff is riddled with former Blackwater guys! I suspected this all along, of course....................
[tinfoil hat firmly in place]
We have to strike back, out of self preservation!
The whole country is sitting back and watching California burn, and saying to themselves...Good riddance! All because of a few elected fools who go running to the nearest microphone to blame US for this!
Thank GOD for Rush, Glen, And any other voice out there who is willing to point out the truth!
I might laugh at Randi Rhodes litte tinfoil trip, but I don’t feel defensive about it. And I agree with Rick that Glenn Beck’s assertions may or may not be a valid point. I don’t like to see conservatives partaking of victimhood (”the enviro-nazis caused the fires!!!”).
The best way to respond is with the facts: record low rainfall, low humidity, an extra long summer and extremely strong Santa Ana Winds combined to create ideal conditions for out of control wildfires.
The response in terms of firefighting, rescues, evacuations and emergency services has been magnificent, something to be proud of.
Remember, when it comes to the Left, you are dealing with children and you must be the adult.
We need fighters who are willing to stand toe to toe, and point out their lies!
I need to know that when the sun comes up (Not at the end of the day!), my country stands as it was when I grew up. I don't want to have to move out of this state because it has been lost to the tax, spend, illegal immigrant loving, land grabbing, lieing scum on the left!
You know the topic is strictly re the CA fires, right?
Yeah, and Jeb Bush had no business letting that Hurricane get past Florida....
Florida had big fires a few years ago.
It's all the Bushes' fault for catching fire!
If shrubs are burning, GWB is also implicated!
Have you been watching your tv?
You better go back and re-read the artical you posted!
It’s not just about the fires in CA!
Lighten up, Randy. Of course I read the article, AND I understand it better than you do.
I live here in southern California... I’ve followed fire coverage almost non-stop. Good grief.
