LIBERALS RUN THE UNIVERSITIES FROM ROBERT REICH TO DONNA SHALALA AND THEY CAN VOICE THE LIBERAL AGENDA–AND WHEN TEXAS WANTS THEIR PAID IN TAXES MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS THE LEFTIST COMES OUT COMPLAINING–SINCE THE DEMOCRAT AGENDA IS TO CONTROL EVEN THE UNKNOWN WEATHER–AS TEXAS PROVIDES THE ENERGY AND PRODUCING JOBS FOR THE NATION AND THE LIBERAL STATES CAN ONLY SUCK THE ENERGY COMING OUT OF BIG TEX WITHOUT A COMPLAINT

As extreme weather marked by tornadoes and flooding continues to sweep across Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has requested ― and President Obama has granted ― federal help.
I don’t begrudge Texas billions of dollars in disaster relief. After all, we’re all part of America. When some of us are in need, we all have a duty to respond.

But the flow of federal money poses a bit of awkwardness for the Lone Star State.
Just over a month ago, hundreds of Texans decided that a pending Navy SEAL/Green Beret joint training exercise was really an excuse to take over the state and impose martial law. And they claimed the Federal Emergency Management Agency was erecting prison camps, readying Wal-Mart stores as processing centers for political prisoners.
There are nut cases everywhere, but Abbott added to that particular outpouring of paranoia by ordering the Texas State Guard to monitor the military exercise. “It is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed upon,” he said. In other words, he’d protect Texans from this federal plot.
Now, Abbott wants federal money. And the Federal Emergency Management Agency is gearing up for a major role in the cleanup ― including places like Bastrop, Texas, where the Bastrop State Park dam failed, and where, just five weeks ago, a U.S. Army colonel trying to explain the pending military exercise was shouted down by hundreds of self-described patriots shouting “Liar!”
Texans dislike the federal government even more than most other Americans do. According to a February poll conducted by the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune, only 23 percent of Texans view the federal government favorably, while 57 percent view it unfavorably, including more than a third who hold a “very unfavorable” view.
Texas dislikes the federal government so much that eight of its congressional representatives, along with Sen. 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’ way.
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. (The study covered the two-year period from 2011 to 2012.) 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.
