Paradise is filled with racists. I know two different sets of people that moved away from there specifically because of the racism.You know how leftists love to shove God or Jesus in the faces of the right when it suits them?It seems that fire season in California is now unending. No beginning and no end. It is the new normal for those in California in particular, but also out west in general. They are our fellow citizens and we need to offer them all the support we can.
‘The Whole World Was on Fire’: Infernos Choke California, Piling On the Grief
******************************************
In the summer of 1998, Florida had its wildfire crisis. I remember the air was so dense with smoke you needed to drive with your headlights on. The smell of burning debris was everywhere. Entire neighborhoods were closed off and the sound of fire truck sirens were common. I'll never forget the sky. The sky was like a blue desert barren of all clouds. Every day that scorching sun with no end in sight.
My father joined the volunteer fire department. I remember seeing him on the TV hosing a house down. I went to stay with him and my mom as they were in a danger zone. I joined the small fire department with my dad, for the time I was with my parents, with the department's one fire truck. It was an eclectic group to say the least. Super conservatives like my Dad and a long haired hippie fire captain.
There was a camaraderie among its members. They all joined together in a time of crisis to try to halt what we thought was an unrelenting inferno. The clouds eventually returned and the rains fell. The crisis was over.
But every year could be the year of the next drought. We need to be cognizant that but for the grace of God go I.
I can understand what the people of California are going through. We live in Florida where every summer we face hurricane season and their destructive power. If you ask me the drought and raging fires were every bit as bad, and thankfully, the drought has not returned.
We also need to remember that all people should come together in these times. No one gave a damn about your politics only that you were there to help.
Yeah, God might have remembered too...
How bout all the times the wackadoodle left says they wouldn't piss on a Republican if he were on fire?
How bout all the times the left mock "hope & prayers"?
Karma is a motherfucker it seems
