A commenter to the HuffPo site flips Texas “rednecks” the bird and tells us to pay for our own losses and don’t use “my tax dollars.”
Perhaps we should keep our Texas dollars in Texas.

When we learn that the fires result from illegal’s camps, there will be hell to pay.
Illegal women and teenage children burn Texas to the ground.
Comments on Yahoo aren't any better. Pathetic.

s dry conditions and gusty winds whip up new wildfires in parched Texas, Gov. Rick Perry Thursday blasted the Obama Administration for failing to issue a disaster declaration for the state, widening the growing rift between the White House and the states rights advocate governor, 1200 WOAI news reports.
“You see hundreds of thousands of acres of Texas burning and you know that there will soon be emergency declarations, and we did that now a couple of weeks ago, but still no response from this administration,” Perry told 1200 WOAI’s Michael Board after addressing the Texas Emergency Management Conference in San Antonio.
“There is a point in time where you say, hey, what’s going on here,” Perry said. “You have to ask why are you taking care of Alabama and other states? I know our letter didn’t get lost in the mail.”
The White House says President Obama will visit Alabama, hard hit by tornadoes Wednesday, later today.
Perry requested a federal declaration of emergency for Texas on April 16, as wildfires began to rage across the entire state. So far, the request has not been answered, although several federal agencies, including the National Park Service, are supplying firefighters to the state’s effort.
It’s not just about dollars but the use of equipment sitting at Ft. Hood and other bases.
