Amen, brother

{From the Comments section by wil}

"Democrats are already politicizing the fires, using it as "proof" that we need bigger government and higher taxes. Senators. Boxer and Reid blame Iraq and global warming. Lt. Gov. Garamendi of California brings up Katrina, blames Iraq, and insults President Bush's visit."

...mmmm Yummy yummy Kool Aid.

Jesus, Cap'n, even the Hyperdine Systems Model 101 has said that they would have a better control of the fires if all of their National Guard helicopters were actually in CA and not Iraq. The same thing happened with all the tornadoes in KS last summer too. (BUt the Democratic Governor of KS was then reflexively branded a turrist-lover by the WH, why not Arnie?)

How do you think that shit gets paid for? Fairy dust? Would you prefer that we just have private industry fight the fires so no one has to pay taxes? A corporation like Blackwater or Halliburton?? Big Government and Higher Taxes!! Jees you sound like you reading from the daily talking points. Think about it, $2.4 TRILLION DOLLARS going to pay for Iraq and Afghanistan. That is your federal tax money Cap'n, if you want to bitch about the unfairness of the idea of the citizenry paying for the government' activities and services, try that one.

I also hope to see you raising as much of a friggin' stink in the next two months when the major personal property insurers are demanding federal bailout money (again your tax dollars) to defray their losses when they have to pay every single one of those homeowners claims because they are ALL insured for fire and fire damage.

Hey, there is a difference between the fires and Katrina, all the rich white people who built their $3M dollar homes in a area historically prone to major brush fires (it's natural you know) will have their homes rebuilt or paid for by their insurers.

Sorry for the rant, but no one should be allowed to use a racist retard like Glenn Beck as back up without being called out on it.
