The coastal elites are saying ‘Texas, it’s your fault’: Stuart Varney

[Wingnut]

"The coastal elites cannot stand Houston's success... The left does not like a capitalist success. And the left really detests the public display of religion in the rescue effort. And they seem confused by the volunteers who poured in with non-government help. Ordinary people helping each other. Religious people thanking God, in public! The progressives can't handle it. So ignore them. They've dominated our culture for a generation...time's up. God bless you Texas." —Varney & Co. http://fxn.ws/2eLtVdJ

To progressives, Houston has itself to blame: Stuart Varney
FBN's Stuart Varney on progressives' rhetoric over Harvey.
The Left finds fault with Houston. To progressives, Houston has itself to blame. As the misery in Texas rolls out, the coastal elites are saying: Texas, it’s your fault.

They make two arguments:

First, Houston's rapid development trampled on wetlands and prairies. So, not enough drainage. And there's just not enough regulation either. Well, a mountain of regulation didn't help the New York area when it was hit by Superstorm Sandy. And i suspect that no amount of planning could have alleviated Houston's biblical, 500-year flood!

Second, Houston is the center of the fossil fuel industry – oil and gas – which progressives believe is a big factor in global warming. Therefore, the flood is Houston's fault. I guess it was inevitable, the climate warriors had to get their two cents in, but they ignore all the research which shows there has been no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes since 1900 and no increase in the frequency or intensity of floods since 1950.

If it is, in reality, "Houston's" fault....then it must be because so many leftists live there and voted for Her Evilness in the last election. 

The city has been run by rabid leftists for as long as I can remember, in fact.  No matter how diligently non-leftists vote in every election ....the Democrats always win.  Why?  Could be for the same reason one of my liberal co-workers, who had two judges in her family and adored Ann Richards, admitted to.  She admitted that she had voted three times that day for the Democrats.
