And now for the real reason that there are so many large forest fires raging out of control.
Liberals.
Liberals who keep us from cutting down trees and clearing away dry brush in the name of "ecology". The fact is that forests need to be cut and trimmed and logged in order to keep them from becoming overgrown and dried out. Dry dead trees and brush are fire hazards. Forests that are regularly logged and cleared do not have huge, 900-acre fires.
Ergo, the tree-hugging liberals that protest loggers and demand that every little leaf and branch in the forest remain untouched "for the good of the environment" are the real reason that the fires have raged out of control.
That's not to say that the arsonists who started the fires aren't to blame. They are, and if caught, they should be jailed and shot and drawn and quartered. (You decide on the order of the punishments.) However, the fires would not have been as bad if loggers who regularly clear away the brush and cut down the dead trees weren't kept from doing their jobs by liberal protestors.
Yeah... it's always bigotry when someone points out the facts about liberals, Karma.
When I point out that the actions of liberals are hurting America, that's 'bigotry'. But when you call Bush and Neocons a bunch of murderers, theives and megalomaniacs, that's just 'criticism'.
If you are feeling insulted, Karma, perhaps its because I touched a nerve.
See that's the hypocrisy right there. You tell me to get over it but you spend all day on an internet discussion board spewing hatred about liberals. You don't like my odd post here? Get over it! LOL.
I don't hate liberals, I just hate what they do to my country. And I pity their naivete.
No do I have a problem with your posting any opinion that you wish to post. Everyone has the right to be wrong, and you do it so well.
My problem is when you call my posts bigotry, while spouting anti-Bush, anti-neocon diatribes. It's a bit of the pot calling the kettle African-American. My response to that is if you don't like the "bigotry" of my post, get over it.
The California fires are nothing new. Fires in that part of the country have been going on for decades. In fact my sister and her husband have a home in the Redlands/Highland Park area. Three years ago they had a mandatory evacuation as the fire came within a mile of the backyard. This year they had a voluntary evacuation for one day and the fire is several miles away. Although arson has been the culprit for some of the fires, terrorism need not apply, since the majority of the California fires are nature sourced.
Terrorism no, and yes environmental wackos have contributed to the problem, but at least it surely can't be global warming. Roughly 809 square miles have been scorched in these fires, 441 less than the fires of 1936:

If there was a "worst fire season" in the last century or so, Berlant said, it would probably be 1936 -- when flames swept across more than 1,250 square miles (3,235 square km) of California, an area roughly the size of Rhode Island.
