A 21st century governor counters drought with prayer and widespread wildfires without firefighters

[blm]

And he's doing it as POLICY for his state.

This is madness. Especially for a nation that claims education as a priority.

And I have yet to hear any news network discuss Perry's incompetence to govern ANY state based on the backwardness of his decisions. It's the focking 21st Century.

1. Pray, don't pray, same result.

It is what it is. I guess that he feels like he is doing SOMETHING when he prays. I just wonder how long before he realizes that god doesn't like him.

3. Gawd

I do feel awful about the poor Texans. They have a governor that is against paying firefighters.

6. I know. And it will bite him in the ass now.

My sister is a (gasp) Republican in Texas. She is not happy with him. Good luck with that presidential race thingie, Rickie.

2. Perry is totally insane. nt

4. Faith Based Firefighting..

It's all the rage in the 21st century..

5. Is the MSM bringing up this little "factoid"

This is insane. Texas and education in the same sentence? Give me a break! Isn't Texas re-writing the school books?
Will they be praying for Jesus to ride in on a dinosaur with a water bucket brigade?
America...I am truly disgusted with the stupidity. :puke:

8. The corporate media won't dare say it. Maybe, one of the other candidates will. Huntsman?

If anyone it would be Huntsman - he seems to be counting on the at-least-half-sane Republican voting block.

7. There WERE no firefighters, nor fire trucks, during the Good Old Days (TM)

of the 9th century, whence the good Mr. Perry wishes so fervently to return us all.

9. Question: Who owns the media?

Answer: The same people who control it.

[blm]

10. The same people who profit most whenever a fascist GOP is in the WH.
