Yes, you turds have fun with your Texas jokes, I'm sure it's funny to the family of this 20-year-old woman and her 18-month-old child.
According to local reports, a wildfire southeast of Austin – in Bastrop County - stretches some 16 miles, has jumped a highway and river, and destroyed more than 300 homes, with some 5,000 residents evacuated. Elsewhere in Texas, a wildfire killed a 20-year-old woman and her 18-month-old child when their home was burned.

And in the meantime, we'll remember that every time something like this happens that you neglect to take the moral and ethical high ground because your partisan politics are more important than your sense of community togetherness and sense of civility.

The House approved a measure Monday ensuring funds to help fight wildfires in Colorado.
Senate Bill 238, sponsored by Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk and Reps. Don Coram, R-Montrose, and Roger Wilson, D-Glenwood Springs, extends a funding stream for providing tools for firefighters—with intergovernmental cooperation and pooled resources.
The money comes from the federal government out of federal mineral lease funds, amounting to $3.25 million annually. The program provides for training and the acquisition of equipment that is cost-prohibitive to an individual community on its own.

Bottom line is the State of Texas and Rick Perry are a huge threat to all the liberals and they would enjoy seeing the entire state burn to the ground and would really like hearing them asking for federal aid to battle the wild fires.
It also seems that Requiem would also enjoy seeing women and children dying in the fires as long as they are citizens of Texas.

I guess that's the extreme interpretation. And lord knows how you righties love your extremes. The other interpretation is that all these right wingers are a bunch of hypocrites who will throw tantrums over federal spending until their district, or state, needs it. That's the problem with ideologically driven politics. When applied against the backdrop of the real world, adherence to ideology over common sense makes you look stupid.

this. they walk around here like they are morally superior. they tell everyone that jobs are available and people should get off their butts and get one, while at the same time complaining about jobs not being available because of mean old obama. they complain about the government being too big,even though their beloved reagan grew the government and deficit.they support a govenor for president who threatened to secede, slammed obama and then complained about not getting relief funds.Hilarious!

Texas powers past the tough times on the strength of its economy—top-ranked in our Economy (http://www.cnbc.com/id/37516041/) category four years in a row. The Texas economy is the 15th largest in the world, according to government figures; larger, for example, than all the Scandinavian nations combined.<table style="padding:5 15 0 0;" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1%"><tbody><tr><td><map name="map38169756"><area coords="0,0,200,60" shape="rect" alt="America's Top States for Business - A CNBC Special Report" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/37554006/"></map>http://media.cnbc.com/i/CNBC/Sections/News_And_Analysis/_Specials/TopStates_2010/_GRAPHICS/SITE_GFX/ATSFB_2010_badge.jpg (http://www.cnbc.com/id/37554006/)</td></tr></tbody></table>
The Lone Star State is home to 64 Fortune 500 companies, more than any other state, in a wide variety of industries. So while the state’s last win in 2008 came with oil at a record $145 a barrel—a natural tailwind for the largest industry in Texas—the state managed to do even better this year despite the fact that oil is trading at roughly half that price.
Texas has also managed to avoid the worst of the real estate crisis, according to reporter Ashanti Blaize of KXAS-TV. (http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232/?video=1540956458&play=1) “While in other major cities we’ve seen condo high-rise projects either slowed or come to a screeching halt, in Dallas we've seen an influx of some of those projects,” says Blake.
However, that economic strength has a side effect. Rising commercial rents and high wages hurt the state in the all-important Cost-of-Doing-Business (http://www.cnbc.com/id/37516039/)category, where it comes in at number 30.

Exactly because they do so much business they actually add to the economies of nearby states. Also I wasn't saying anything about Texas leaving the union. I am saying they are one of the more productive members of that union, while states like wyoming are not.
LOL stop being an Idiot ...seriously thats just stupid , if texas succeeds they will go through the same **** mexico does ....... Seriously your talking out of your ass cause your mouth should know better

I never said anything about succession. I only stated that Texas is one of the largest economies in the word, and the union is lucky to have productive members like that. You are being silly.

I've always knows Calif economy the biggest, or 2nd biggest in the union. Show me where I said different? We were not talking about Calif. We were talking about Texas. I said Texas should be shown some respect, they have a huge economy, 15th largest in the world. All facts. You spout the frontier jibberish not me. You are the master of that.

We need all the states, just some more then others. Like Texas, Calif, NY, Fla. That is why saying **** Texas is stupid. It's one of our better states. Unless you are on death row then I agree they have had some problems.

I doubt it because they refine a lot of oil. Without regulations and being their own country they could go drill in the Gulf like mad, refine the oil, and sell it to the USA.

Well we have more water probably. I love my state, it's just we are broke. It's not because of the size of the economy though, it's because we can't afford all the public union pensions we are saddled with. That and illegals sapping us dry of services. We crazily give them money in Calif. A lot of that though is the fed govt fault for not protecting the border.

LMAO more water ? no that isnt in what makes or breaks a state is the land , sure trade routes are important , but having Fertile land is more important , Can you name me one thing that Cali doesnt or cant produce ? just 1 thing be fine

It's not that, it's that they have a bunch of refineries and the shipping to move the product. I never said North Dakota doesn't have oil.

Texas has way more fortune 500 companies then most states. They have a big economy no matter what Spider tries to say about. You keep trying to win an argument when all I am saying is they have a huge economy, and they union is lucky to have them. I wish every state had the size and power of Texas.

I agree California has it going on which is why i live here. We have a huge agriculture sector, and a huge technology sector. Great weather, mountains, lakes, beaches, deserts. But one thing is for sure our state is in trouble just like texas. Mostly because of the feds not doing their jobs.
No doubt though that the piss ant states owe some gratitude to states like California and Texas for paying for all your roads.

Cali couldn't produce very much if it wasn't for complex irrigation, which liberals hate.

Oh, and by the way...there is little that can be done to stop wildfires.
Its really pretty sad to see people celebrating this kind of thing because they are politically opposed to Perry.
Wildfires are something we deal with every summer in Texas. California can relate. A big chunk of Yosemite burned up this summer.

The country has more reason to help Texas then you Texas haters think. They are one of the few States that pulls its weight in this union.
15 largest economy in the world, enough said. Perry has ran Texas far better then Obama has run the country. He has loads more governing experience then Obama has also. Basically the left attacking because they are scared to death Obama is one and done. The whole democratic uprising, the repubs are done, hasn't lasted very long. Once again the democrats have ruined the country and it will take a repub to fix it.
So it goes on how big your economy is? Well, CA & PA is far above TX...and well right now PA's underwater. So, TX can wait.
PS - Thank Satan Rick Santorumn wasn't from TX.

They need to man up and take care of it themselves. Screw the government.:yayaya:Oh and screw global warming, it doesn't exist!
That would be an accurate accounting of their own rules, to be sure.
