NO MONEY FOR RED STATE PARASITES THAT WOULD NOT SUPPORT THEIR FELLOW
AMERICANS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED BECAUSE OF HURRICANE SANDY: Oklahoma

Shelters
the red state sponges said they could not afford the shelters, so
they applied to the federal government for help, which means they want
blue states to pay for them.

Oklahoma Gives Massive Breaks to Oil Companies while Schools Lack
Storm Shelters

“OOOOk-lahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain, And the
wavin’ wheat can sure smell sweet, When the wind comes right behind
the rain…”
Unless you’re a fan of Broadway and cheesy old Hollywood films, you
may not be familiar with this song. You’re also probably trying to
figure out where I’m going with this by using a reference to the 1955
Rodger’s and Hammerstein film “Oklahoma.”
Oklahoma is notorious for tornadoes, and really big ones. As the first
settlers in the state showed up, I’m pretty sure they encountered a
twister or two right away. Then again on May 20th, 2013, and in 2003,
and in 1999 and many times before – the people of that state have
experienced this destructive force. This isn’t a new thing. This isn’t
a freak, late-season hurricane that struck an area that doesn’t
usually get them. It’s not a rare earthquake in a state that’s never
felt them. It’s a tornado, something that happens all the time in
“Tornado Alley.”
So why aren’t there storm shelters in every school? Certainly
Oklahoma, which boasts the 5th largest oil production in the United
States, could afford to do it. They’ve claimed that they couldn’t
afford the cost and that they’ve applied for grant money from FEMA to
do it, but when the state gives over $200 million in breaks to the oil
companies, there’s no excuse why they couldn’t supply every school and
government building with a shelter that could survive the worst of
twisters. It’s not that they can’t, it’s that lobbyist money has
bought and paid for legislators who will advance the profits of the 1%
over the lives of the residents of Oklahoma and their children.
Forcing these companies off corporate welfare isn’t going to cause
them to pack up and leave. You can’t pick up an oil field and move it
to a state with a lower tax rate. So what if it causes the price I pay
at the pump to go up a few cents because the multi-billion dollar
drilling businesses have to play by the same rules as the small
business owners? Local communities should be able to provide something
as common sense as a storm shelter, and the fact that this hasn’t been
done is not only mindboggling, but absolutely tragic.

I also notice you did your best to ignore the firebombing of
Tokyo . . . and Osaka . . . and Kobe . . . and Fukuoka . . . and,
oh hell just check out http://www.ditext.com/japan/napalm.html. How
are you going to blame that on the Brits?
then i demanded a apology,

you said,
