Oh to be a fly on the wall when Rick Perry has to ask Obama for emergency relief.

The blast zone

It seems especially wrong when said fertilizer plant had not even been inspected in the last five years.



I suppose one could say that everyone in this case had perfect freedom. The fertilizer plant owners had the freedom to run a plant without "big government" intrusion. The home builders had the freedom to sell their units wherever they saw fit to build. The home buyers had the freedom to assume irresponsibility on the part of the plant owner and the government, and take responsibility for themselves by not living near the plant. It was a conservative paradise of total economic liberty. No one could have foreseen what would happen. It was a tragedy. Instead of politicizing it, we should just pray for the victims. Wolverines.

1. The Republican philosophy distilled. nt

2. There will not be any awkwardness. They will be given the aid without hesitation as they should

I remember many of the repukes and people from Enron making fun of California during our fires, and artificially created energy crisis, including the bush administration

Difference is, Democrats believe we are all Americans, repukes are selective

4. Reeps have no shame

Another reason for the lack of awkwardness.

7. Why would they need aid? This isn't that big a disaster and the state has money.

3. So..Perry will ask for relief instead of...

threatening succession?

5. "not inspected 5 yrs" - anti-REGULATION, anti-taxes, anti-gov't. Pro-fatcats. n/t

[Rowdyboy]

6. Obama will offer sincere condolences and all the federal aid needed-thats what WE do.....

WE are not assholes-they are.
