Absolutely no political pressure results from the victims of these deadly events. The politicians from Oklahoma's tragedies come out smelling like roses. Why? Because they believe in a benevolent god. Well, the god they believe in sure doesn't seem benevolent to me. No god fearing person ignores the signs of warnings from Earth benevolently allowed to exist.
This is a map of where there have been NO tornadoes in the USA. This is by zip code. Texas hold the record in 150 tornado occurrences. It would seem now the Texas state government can claim the highest number of winter tornadoes with far higher deaths than summer tornadoes.
Jordan Tessler, (click here) a geographer/amateur meteorologist in the Baltimore/Washington, D.C.
area, tweeted the interesting map you see above, showing the U.S. ZIP
codes without a confirmed tornado from 1950-2013, using data from NOAA's
Storm Prediction Center.Anyone think that is a crackpot analysis? It isn't. The extremist religions are known to be in areas where impoverishment and trauma exist on a day to day basis.
The climate crisis has been made a political issue by the cronyies of the south. They attached election money and religious leanings to their donations. Religion is used on a regular basis in Red States to provide 'a voting base as well as a donor base' to the GOP. The USA government has been under the influence of Republicans in the past four dating back to Eisenhower. The USA had rid itself of right wing political extremists beginning in 1992, but, that effort was interrupted by corruption in the 2000 election. The climate crisis should not be attached to politics at all. American scientists are good honest people, many of which go to church. Their work is disrespected in the south to the point where long standing government employees of Florida have been victimized by the current governor.
The reason the GOP uses god as an approach to politics is because it the ONLY way they can claim morality, otherwise, they would not have any basis to their particular type of morality. Any USA government leader in the USA should demonstrate morality to their electorate, however, this particular type of politics by the GOP is corruption pandering to cronies. It is a 'let's pretend' strategy.
The primary focus by the GOP are 'let's pretend' strategies, including, deeply set violence in war and what could be considered 'prayer in vein' when it is not connected to REAL ACTION by governments. No person or governing bodies in the USA can claim that god brings about morality on a day to day basis to avert hardship. God doesn't babysit the USA. Quite the contrary, according to a recent visit by Pope Francis, the USA needs to do more to respect God's Creation.
The fact Texas has the highest incidence of tornadoes in the USA is not a coincidence. I don't believe in coincidence dictating policy. Policy should reflect the concern of protecting citizens.
Pray is about finding God, not about pleading your case for greater profits. That was p-r-o-f-i-t-s, like Wall Street, not prophet as in religion.
Pray may bring a sincere place for oneself in religious worship, however, praying does not mean God is on your side politically.
This impoverished worship of RELIGION in the south has stunted dialogues necessary to move forward to a better quality of life for the people in the USA in these states. Prayer might help accept hunger as a reality in strength to accept one's fate, however, that imposed political strategy is about money as well. Food stamps, Medicaid and children's health insurance cut while the subsidies to the petroleum industry exists in large amounts. Prayer is about personal strength within faith. It is not about providing a fool proof method of who is moral and who is not. As a matter of fact, the prayerful submissiveness of the southern citizen provides for sheep preyed on by vicious politicians in value to cronyies of the steely handling of constituents.
The lack of dialogue among these 'religious dependent' leaders has caused the lack of action in the US Congress and allowed a political strategy that guarantees their constituent deserved suffering. It makes no sense in a modern civilization as the USA that greenhouse gas emissions have been ignored for decades. That is corruption and nothing short of it.
The USA cannot continue down this path of destruction facilitated by masquerading politicians of cronyies. These people among the GOP are not moral. That should be plain to their constituents while praying for loved ones that have died unnecessary deaths.
The submissiveness of any constituent to this level of corruption is strongly noted when the 'idea' of subterranean shelters from tornadoes isn't made a reality until President Obama demanded it. That is striking. It is a call to awareness of how these people are taken for granted, quite literally, with lies to their beautiful souls.
These constituents don't define themselves according to their personal dangers and/or impoverishment. They respond to rhetoric that is known to work in the face of cronyism. Rhetoric used in this way are lies that kill. The DEFINITION of rhetoric: language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.
There are significant populations within these GOP lands. They need the truth and not rhetoric. These politicians are highly immoral, especially, when constituents are threatened with job closures if companies go out of business because of the CORRECT path for the USA. That is hideous. If the USA cannot direct it's economy to create good paying jobs for people, what good is it. No American should be measuring their employment against their life or death. That is not morality by any measure.
There are reasons the GOP is unable to back the best outcomes for the USA regarding a climate crisis. There is a parallel reason why the former Vice President Gore never realized the presidency in the USA and it revolves around the corruption that accompanies the abuse of power of the quality of life of the USA people.
The USA will need election monitors again in 2016. Vice President Gore has never been proven wrong.
