This is interesting. The red state of Oklahoma requested a federal disaster declaration after the tornadoes ravaged parts of the state and killed half a dozen people. Request denied. I wonder why.
Gov. Mary Fallin’s office says her request has been denied for federal assistance to individuals and businesses affected by a tornado that killed six in Woodward.
A news release on Friday said that Fallin will now ask the U.S. Small Business Administration for a disaster declaration for Woodward County.
The Sunday morning tornado left three girls 10 and younger and three men dead. (Read More)
Here’s the video report. Eleven other states have received federal assistance for disasters, but not Oklahoma. Can you imagine the outcry if a Republican administration denied assistance to a blue state? This is another example of why we need to shrink the federal government. Let the states keep the money and then provide assistance as needed. Why does the federal government decide who is worthy of disaster relief?
I guess they’re gonna save the money for more vital things, like gov’t agency outings, more green “investments”, hiring a few hundred thousand more bureaucrats, the White House travel budget, the White House re-election campaign travel budget, the First Lady’s travel budget; cowboy poetry festivals, the Fruit Fly Museum, caterpillar research, NASA’s Muslim outreach program…

BO’s administration only rewards blue states and bundlers. Anyone or state which didn’t vote for the toddler or donate to his reelection is just out of luck. The brat only shares the wealth with cronies and useful idiots.

He may be a toddler but he can be very vindictive.
(By the way, you sound like a guy I know that posted at Breitbart’s site. I was “knuckles” there.)

Speaking as someone who lives in Oklahoma, I am not surprised at this turn of events. Barack Obama lost every county in Oklahoma in 2008 and he clearly remembers that. I expect we will give him the same kind of outcome in 2012.

Why Conservatives Have Lost the Political Battle for America’s Soul
…”Conservative social thought de-emphasizes politics. This is why conservative social thought never gains much of a hearing in the modern world. The modern world is so obviously political, and the power of central governments is so great over every area of life, that all issues become politicized.”…
…”The liberal believes in something like political salvation. He believes in political healing of every area of life. He believes that federal power, coupled with federal money, can make society better.”…
