"California Dreaming" and fires have lived side by side since the "The Grapes of Wrath." It is absolutely amazing how
Senator Harry Reid would manage to tie global warming to the fires in
California. Well, like Gump would say "Stupid is as stupid does."
Reid's
words prove that there's not one thing that this partisan hack won't politicize.
The Democrat senator has not one admirable character trait to emulate, unless
you're fond of desert rats. When it comes to being crude and asinine, dirty
Harry and his ilk never disappoint his far left cronies, who sound just like
him. They are, at best, disingenuous on any given subject.
Reid was
quoted during a press conference: "As you know, one reason that we have the
fires burning in Southern California is global warming. One reason the Colorado
Basin is going dry is because of global warming." Indeed, how absurd.
Too many people don't know the history of our great
nation including the prolonged drought that created the Dust Bowl days.
Throughout the 1930's, drought and dry winds damaged, parched, and literally
blew away the topsoil. Dust storms in the Great Plains, including, Texas,
Oklahoma, and Kansas, became an agricultural nightmare. Was that global warming?
The answer is no. Al Gore was born March 31, 1948. He wasn't around to try to
panic the entire world with his global warming theories.
The liberal
biased media is once again using its propaganda machinery during this
overwhelming tragedy in California by throwing global warming into the mix while
reporting on the fires that are still burning.
Anyone
who has lived in California knows that the winds are part and
parcel of climate for aeons of time. However, members of the Democrat party want
to blame President Bush for everything. They need a new shtick. Hopefully, they
will pay at the election booth. Americans should be outraged and fed up by now
with those who continually attack the president.
Californians are
remarkably resilient people. Although we do not have major fires and earthquakes
continuously, we do live with these threats.
Southern California was a
desert that became a garden of lush beauty. Every year the Santa Ana winds kick
up. Californians take advantage of the winds by flying a kite, air ballooning
and breathing in the clean air.
When we hear educated fools on the left
spouting off and saying unkind remarks in the vein of "being polite to the
president" when he visits our state, it is time for us to get mad and pick up
the phone and tell Lt. Gov. John Garamendi where to get off. Garamendi said he's
"got some doubt about the value of President Bush coming out here" and "I just
hope he does not come."
Garamendi is another far leftist loon who needs
to apologize for his remarks. His lacks courtesy and decorum. Who keeps
reelecting these same buffoons into office?

We certainly don't need Senator Barbara Boxer
telling us about the National Guard. They are doing their jobs. Can you imagine?
Barbara Boxer blames the wildfires on Iraq.
Our Californian legislators
have absolutely no respect for the man who was twice elected to the highest
office in the land. When will the progressives understand that they are major
contributors to the many problems we face in the state of California? Their
liberal policies are chocking the Golden State.
President G. W. Brush is
the Commander-In-Chief of our awesome troops and protector of our country's
national security. It is unfortunate that the man who gets up every day to do
the job has to put up with fools and their sarcastic bitter remarks.
Another California Democrat, Rep. Pete Stark,
accused the president of being amused while watching our troops getting their
heads blown off in Iraq. He reluctantly gave the president a half baked apology
after his embarrassed colleagues forced him to do so. YouTube
Rep Peter Stark (D-CA) Outrageous Remarks on House
Floor
Patriots who support the troops do not conduct
themselves as Pete Stark. Once more we see the ugly side of Democrats. They
become abusive, and angrily try to seize more political power. They do so at
anyone's expense. Even our troops are not sacrosanct from the noxious babblings
of the far left.
Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands have been
displaced from their homes because of wildfires that may have been started by
the hands of arsonists.
Excerpts from Associated Press:
"Deadly
Wildfires Force Mass Evacuations in Southern California
"Wildfires blown
by fierce desert winds reduced scores of Southern California homes to ashes,
forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee and laid a hellish, spidery
pattern of luminous orange over the drought-stricken region.
"One person
was reported killed; at least 16 firefighters and 25 others were reported
injured since the blazes began Sunday. At least 655 homes burned — about 130 in
one mountain area alone — and 168 businesses and other structures were
destroyed. Thousands of other buildings were threatened by more than a dozen
blazes covering at least 240,000 acres, the equivalent of 374 square
miles.

"Early Tuesday
morning, President Bush followed in California Governor Schwarzenegger's steps,
declaring a state of emergency in the seven counties and said the federal
government would give the state everything it needs to deal with the
disaster.
"'The sky was just red. Everywhere I looked was red, glowing.
Law enforcement came barreling in with police cars with loudspeakers telling
everyone to get out now,' said Ronnie Leigh, 55, who fled her home at a mobile
home park as smoke darkened the sky over the nearby ridge
line.
"Firefighters — who lost valuable time trying to persuade stubborn
homeowners to leave — were almost completely overwhelmed as gale-force winds
gusting to 70 mph scattered embers on the dry brush. California officials
pleaded for help from fire departments in other states.
"A pair of
wildfires consumed 128 homes in the Lake Arrowhead mountain resort area in the
San Bernardino National Forest east of Los Angeles, authorities said.

"At least 14
fires were burning in Southern California, said Patti Roberts, a spokeswoman for
the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
"From San Diego to Malibu,
stretching more than 150 miles of coastline, some 500,000 people were warned to
leave their homes, the Los Angeles Times reported early Tuesday. A majority of
the people told to flee were in San Diego County, including in the coastal city
of Del Mar. Earlier reports had placed the number of evacuees closer to
300,000." Full

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has been telling reporters
that there is no bad news, and to stop looking for negative press to report.
Just as we have witness during the past six plus years, we are again having to
put up with the blame Bush politicking in our communities. What is insulting is
that the Democrats can't seen to control themselves long enough to allow
Californians to grieve over their loss.
A great
big enthusiastic thank you to all the Californians who are
helping each other. We should all pray and continue to offer one another
emotional support. Californians will maintain their dreams. Help has been on the
way ever since this ordeal began. Thank you President Bush for working hand in
hand with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and local officials. Thank God for our
heroic firefighters and first responders.
