The California Fires

OK, so fires are burning up the forests in Cali. Not cool as many people are losing everything. Why is this disaster different than the Katrina one? Easy, the people in Cali actually listen to the evacuation order so not many have been injured or died. Also, the community has pulled together and rather than take a bail me out government liberal attitude, they are taking action for themselves.

To hear the politics behind this is maddening. Why is something as mundane as forest fires suddenly being politicized? It's ridiculous to say some of the things that are being said. Here are the top hits:

1. Cause of fire is global warming. Stated on the Senate floor then denied 6 minutes later by Harry Reed. How can you deny something you said 6 minutes prior??? Did he forget already?

2. The National Guard can't help because most of them are in Iraq.

What? How could they help anyway? The fires are moving so fast if they tried to stand in front of it to fight it they would become crispy critters. Not to mention how they pulled 800 troops from border patrol for no apparent reason.

I'm just glad to see people are catching on to the tactics of the libs and the drive by media. Now we just need to start standing up to them so they fade away.

As for global warming.....c'mon......really??? Everything that is happening now weather wise has happened in the past. And for those who say the oceans are going to rise 20+ feet when the polar ice caps melt....

The ice caps are floating in the ocean. A solid object in liquid will displace the same amount of water as if that solid became liquid.

To dumb it down for you that want to believe the hype. Fill a glass with ice and water. Mark the water level on the outside of the glass. The water is the oceans, and the ice is the polar ice caps. Let the ice melt, "global warming"......look at the level of the water......gasp! It didn't move!
