Remember when national disasters were met with caustic questions by the media, asking "Why isn't the President there?", or saying "FEMA is leaving people homeless!"

People in New Mexico are losing homes while Obamugabe is partying with Sarah Jessica Parker...and the media says nothing.

Remember the EO signed by William the Impeached, that cordoned off public lands from being logged and harvested?

The forests turned into tinderboxes. We now see the result and intent.

Even when the Forest Service can get around the environmentalist, they lack the resources to manicure the forest. It’s one thing to talk about thinning and clearing out dead and old wood, but it is quite another to get people to all the locations that need it. I’ve been all over the area burned by the Whitewater Baldy fire, and much of it is too rough and rocky, too remote to accomplish much with thinning crews, even if they could use chainsaws in the wilderness areas. It would take resources and cost money the Forest Service simply doesn’t have. Where I’m at now I’ve wondered why the Forest Service doesn’t take some heavy equipment and cut some roads into areas that are thick with dead pinon. It’s just fuel wood waiting for lightning. But even that would stress the financial resources of the Forest Service, not that the environmentalists would permit it. The policy of the environmentalists running the show is to close down every road they can, not to build new ones. When dealing with that kind of ignorance on a low budget, it’s a wonder the Forest Service is able to do what it does.
