Every time there is a disaster in the US you read stories like this. When Hurricane Sandy hit, Ontario hydro crews dispatched to help patch up the electrical grid were turned back at the border. Now tornado relief supplies are stalled.

I understand the part about the beetles in the Basmati rice but the rest? Another fine example of the federal government looking after it's citizens.

Final question: Is Oklahoma a red state?

Yet shipments come in through the ports and are rarely inspected.

No. It's a Conservative state. Red's Communist.

.......it is the reddest! I don’t believe one county in Oklahoma went for Jarret, Axelrod, Holder and Obama!

Incidents like this might explain why some folks sometime say “I hate this country”. I would modify that to say “I hate what this country has become”. Over the past 50 years, our various state, local and federal governments have unleashed millions of moron, retarded bureaucrats against us! In the process, tens of thousands of employers like myself lay people off or don’t hire cuz it is just too much trouble. Now un-employment is upon us like the darkness of space! I see no cure for our bureaucracy malignancy other than defund, defund, defund! Politicians just do not have the balls to fire em!

Red - Republican, Blue - Democrat. Opposite of what it should be.

Well, you are precisely correct.

The federal government has become so big and bloated, so overbearing, that firing some people will not be enough. Whole departments should be, simply, closed down. Start with the IRS and the rest of the government would have to cut back drastically.

NOT ONE COUNTY IN OKLAHOMA VOTED FOR OBAMA. Oklahoma translated actually means “Red people”.

Odumbo made it clear that the “red tape” would be eliminated and/or cut down so any help forthcoming would be quickly approved and said help would get through.

More BULL SH%T!

Sorry, Oklahoma is certainly conservative, but Oklahoma means “red people”. Also, the dirt is red.

IRS, EPA, TSA, HUD, just for starters. Then DHS either closed or cut down to about 25% its current size. Its never gonna happen but thats what it would take.

“.....Whole departments should be, simply, closed down...........”

Absolutely. Get rid of the power Leftist oriented Congresses over the years have handed the Executive Branch, and eliminate the bureaucracies that support them. America will suddenly be prosperous, and free again.
