There was a news story about an islamic imam in Australia with a website calling for jihad by fire. Michael Savage was so enraged he said something about pulling this guy out of his house by his hair and his radio engineer hit the “cut” button before the expletives hit the air.

Need I say... more?

How much CO and CO2 are going into the air as a result of these fires?

To millions of voters, the central quality of conservatism is cold-heartedness.

Sheesh! I didn't think a /sarc tag was needed.

To millions of Freepers, the central quality of liberalism is a thin skin.

The absolute worst characteristic of many conservatives is their cavalier attitude toward compassion for the creatures who share this planet with us, even in the face of great tragedy.

Not to mention the over 100 people killed

Is Congress gonna have hearings to determine if this was caused by Karl Rove and George Bush? Has Rove’s weather machine been dismantled yet?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Jihadists.

Excellent post Wolfstar.

Also I would like to add that many of these macho guys are sexually impotent and they try to cover their impotence by behaving in the stupid manner that you described.

Plus the many who are now homeless. It's a terrible tragedy, made more so by the fact that the worst fire in a populated area appears to have been arson. However, compassion for the people affected by these fires in no way negates compassion for the animals affected.

I've lived in Southern California for nearly 33 years, so I know first hand the horror of brush fires. In all that time, I have never yet been incapable of compassion for my fellow human beings and for the creatures God made to share this planet with us.

Would that there really were millions of FReepers, all of them capable of uniting behind a message to voters that does not make conservatism seem cold, hostile, angry and exclusionary.
