Another memorable part of Richards' rancid legacy was her meeting with Hillary! in Austin shortly before Richards allowed the Army to use tanks on the Branch Davidian church in Waco. Hillary! and Billy Jeff were impatient that the stand-off had dragged on so long. Setting fire to the building and burning 20 little children to death was their solution to the problem. Some legacy, Ma Richards. And a good thing to remember when people try to convince you that Hillary! would be a fine president.

Wasn't there an arsonal of guns and ammunition that the Dividians were going to use to blow up Texans. I believe that the only thing they could do was burn down the house. Remember this was a wacko cult. They did not listen to reason and yes unfortunately children died but the althernative would have been more deaths. It was a war and casualties happen. I was not as political as I am now when this happened so maybe some facts are CNN but not sure. I watched CNN occasionally but remember being glad that the house finally was burnt down and saved the U.S. from that group. Plus didn't they kill each other first anyway and put purple blankets on themselves or something. I know maybe I was nuts back then...not sure.
