The hatred in this vile little man is patently palpable.
"President Barack Obama is less than stalwart in the fight against ISIS and doesn’t seem overly concerned about Vladimir Putin’s predation in Ukraine or China’s aggression in the South China Sea. It is the fight against climate change, an allegedly dire threat to the nation’s security, that brings out his inner Churchill.
In remarks at the Coast Guard Academy commencement, Obama pledged his undying hostility to climate change and his determination to fight it on the beaches and in the fields. He called it “one of the most severe threats” we face and “an immediate risk to our national security.” President Obama is to climate change what Cato the Elder was to Carthage.
He hailed the Coast Guard for building more fuel-efficient cutters, and the Marines for deploying with portable solar panels. It was one of the most insipid calls to arms ever made by an American commander-in-chief, and there is unlikely to be much competition until President Elizabeth Warren rallies the U.S. Navy against income inequality....."
Isn’t Robert Reich ‘the third of his name’?
As in The Third Reich.
>>But you’d have to be nuts not to be at least curious about such a connection, and its relationship to the carbon dioxide humans have been spewing into the atmosphere.

Since to date here is no such scientific link, you’d have to be nuts to conclude the desired effect has occurred.
Democrat Socialists hate Texas because we don’t bow to their wet dreams of an all powerful federal government. Texans will recover thanks to its people, with or without the help of ugly Democrats.
Go back to the Lollipop Guild Robert.
God Bless Texas
This ultra lib makes it sound like none of the money held by the federal govt comes from Texas.
The left continues to try to get the uninformed to believe the federal govt creates money.
It creates nothing, but absorbs much of what others work hard to get.
What business is it of Reich’s what Texas officials do?
Is he a registered voter in Texas? No? Then STFU, Robert.
This seems to be the liberal meme of the week, so I'll ask -- seriously:
The opposition to the Hurricane Sandy relief for the Northeast was due to all of the pork in the bill that wasn't actually "hurricane relief". It was loaded with spending that was unrelated to the disaster.
How much of the disaster relief for Texas is unrelated to the damage incurred in the past few months?
But you’d have to be nuts not to be at least curious about such a connection, and its relationship to the carbon dioxide humans have been spewing into the atmosphere.
Texas was in a drought for 3-4 years, and we were told it was due to man-induced climate change. Then, the drought ended, and now the left is claiming it is caused by man-induced climate change.
Would you (collectively) make up your minds? Is it one, or the other?
This cycle has repeated over and over, back as long as records have been kept. If you ask an honest meteorologist, he will tell you it's the result of an oscillation in global weather patterns that occurs independently of any thing man does.
“Texas dislikes the federal government so much that eight of its congressional representatives, along with Senator Ted Cruz, opposed disaster relief for the victims of Hurricane Sandy – adding to the awkwardness of their lobbying for the federal relief now heading Texas’s way.”
He disregards the that Hurricane Sandy was not a significant natural disaster, but rather just a minor storm, not unlike the thunderstorms Texas sees every spring.
Moreover, Hurricane Sandy serverd as an Obama 2012 Campaign Rally and only really served to entice people to vote for Obama.
Yet even before the current floods, Texas had received more disaster relief than any other state, according to a study by the Center for American Progress. That’s not simply because the state is so large. It’s also because Texas is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather – tornadoes on the plains, hurricanes in the Gulf, flooding across its middle and south.
Texas cannot help it if it has the most tornados and floods. However, even without expierencing an extreme drought, major flash flood, major hurricane or biker mass murder at Waco’s Twin Peaks, Texas is more vital to the survival of the United States than New Jersey or Long Island.
Such a small man.....
The flood waters are receding. The sun is shining in Texas again and the birds are singing. What could be better than a new day without rain and flooding. Oh happy day.
Thanks Mr. Reich for trying to burst our balloon and rain on our parade. Like we care about your socialist criticisms and negative attitude toward Texas. Now crawl back into your hole, STFU, and let us run the “Republic of Texas” the way we want.
If you try minding your own business, you won’t be minding ours. I’m sure if you look around you, you can find something that needs fixin’ besides Texas. Have a nice day.
I don’t want to pick on Texas.
Lying little dwarf.
Robert “The Third” Reich.
Reich is a little short in his analysis.
