    "Why did the state of California reject allowing the federal government to clear brush and perform controlled burns on Federal lands within California for over 30 years?"

    This says it all.

    The liberals in California were much more interested in defending the rights of people to shit in the street.

    Recently, Pea Brain Nancy, made a somewhat Pagan statement that the fires in California were caused by "Mother Nature" being upset.

    Try God being pissed. The United States is and will always remain Gods Country. Regardless of the demented.

    Why Black communities need to be 'central' to response to wildfire disasters

    This article has to be the joke of the month. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-...response-to-wildfire-disasters-185044601.html

    The sad thing is that this article actually was on Yahoo! Finance and had a news video accompanying it.

    This is the gist of the article

    "The report, titled “The unequal vulnerability of communities of color to wildfire,” assessed wildfire vulnerability by identifying which Census tracts were disproportionately impacted by factors such as demographics, housing, transportation, language, education, and socioeconomic status."

    Can only imagine what might be next.

    Perhaps it would be the shock to some that black is not really a color.

    John Stossel is a zealot? Really?

    I had to look up the word to assure myself I actually knew what it meant given your application to Stossel.

    "a person who is fanatical and uncompromising in pursuit of their religious, political, or other ideals."

    What ideal is Stossel fanatical about? That he wants the government out of his life? I can certainly understand you not agreeing with him, but I don't get the zealot label.

  8. He's a free market zealot the likes of Ayn Rand.

    Ok, but again, nothing in this article (which I do not agree with, surprisingly - it is a left wing organization) points to zealotry. It has many claims that Stossel is deceptive, and relies on biased sources (FAIR itself is a biased source) and that is fine. People are certainly entitled to their own opinions on whether information presented is accurate or is not. FAIR obviously believes Stossel is not, and goes so far (in the article you linked to) to try to cancel Stossel by encouraging the reader to write ABC. Another tactic I don't agree with. It is easy to see where you might disagree and even consider what Stossel says as outright false. I happen to think the argument FAIR makes on EPA pollutants in the article is a good one, and I tend to agree with it over Stossel.

    But zealotry? I don't see it.
