I do hope that the independent self sufficient patriots of Texas have the good sense to refuse any federal aid following this recent rebuke by nature. Certainly they will pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Wrong comparison. The question will be whether they riot, loot and plunder and whine like little girls like the progs in New Orleans. I bet they don't. So far as taking federal disaster aid, that has nothing to do with conservative vs. prog. Few, if any, conservatives are against disaster aid. I think it is a proper function of the federal gov't, as I would wager most conservatives do. ------------------------- I :heart; Q |

No, they support secession, so they should shudder at the thought of taking handouts. Unless they are all hat and no cattle.

Obviously ignorant of Texas politics leave you missing the point again. The gloms in Houston may break out in NO style looting as they are predominately dems who snuck across or those who didnt go back to the EZ after Katrina..The demogloms willsuck up all the money rusty is willing to shell out

I wouldn't give them spit. Make them beg like we did Rick Scott. Without the Progs in Houston the average state IQ would be cut in half along with the tooth count.

I do believe the term redneck is reserved for those states in the south, and east of that large mexican wasteland called Texas. Just as Cracker is more pertinant to your old school Floridian democrat. |

They have one of the highest rates of uninsured in the US, so I'm glad the federal government is around to offer support.
The failings of state government shouldn't cause good people to suffer. ------------------------- I was right. |

Seems like they keep getting hit below the (bible) belt.

Did I miss something?
Did Texas Congressmen or women vote for defunding FEMA? Did Texas not absorb the majority of the Katrina refugees? ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

Texas voting to defund the federal government? 1/3 of the entire state budget comes from the Feds. The same governor who generously shares his supposed hatred of the Feds seems oblivious to all of the obvious benefits that they provide to his state. It's like his party line is blindfolding him. This disaster puts his politics above the needs of disaster stricken areas and it needs to be highlighted.

So basically you either agree to give Obama and team a blank check or you get nothing? My bad.

Interesting way to frame their failure to appreciate the Feds in times of crisis. Texas has a mythology that believe that, like many mythologies, contradicts their truth. They want to believe that they have and always will be independent and free from any outside influence. They believe this with the same faith as a religion. This does not square with the reality that they accept 1/3 of their budget from the Feds. They are hypocrites. They do not practice what they preach and they have no problem making outrageous claims like the federal government is taking over walmarts and invading them. They put all of their pension money in gold and promptly lost 1/3 of its value when gold went down the way everyone said it would. Glenn Beck failed them. But the independent souls that all wear the required don't mess with Texas are mostly uninsured. When they get gored at a rodeo and goes to the hospital with no insurance, is he complaining about the socialism that forces the hospital to treat him (emtala) or how he shouldn't have to pay for others? No. When the waters recede are the same fearless independents advocating for free market to dictate how the recovery happens? Never. The mythology is strong. The facts contradict it. This crisis highlights that.

Apparently, stereotypes/mythologies are also very strong here in Florida. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

What humanitarians demogloms are if you don't do as I say, die. Talk about hypocrites. My guess is a lot of demogloms on this forum are sucking the Obama tittie some way or another and to he'll with anyone else what else would we expect

What teet was Texas looking to suck?
Is it possible to suck and resent simultaneously? I just want to see a Texas sized answer to this. ------------------------- "One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power."

It appears that you don't understand much of anything. I'd advise that you educate yourself. That would be a good start. ------------------------- I :heart; Q |
