Texas Governor preaches succession while asking for federal assistance for wildfires

You have got to consider it kinda strange that a governor preaching succession since the election of our current president would now seek the help of the entity that he said Texas hated more than anything else.  Could these wildfires be a sign to those of Texas to return to the age of inclusion?

According to Sarah Wheaton, New York Times,  Texas Wildfires Rage on With No End in Sight “Firefighters in Texas on Tuesday continued to battle raging wildfires that were consuming more than a million acres and showing few signs of abating.  “The bull’s-eye is on West Texas and the Panhandle,” said April Saginor, a spokeswoman for the Texas Forest Service, referring to the area where conditions were considered “critical to extremely critical” — as they had been for days.  On Monday, firefighters responded to 10 new fires, in addition to battling 20 existing uncontained blazes — “actually kind of a light day,” Ms. Saginor said.  Texas’ worst drought in nearly half a century has turned the state into a tinderbox. Fires have destroyed more than 105 homes in recent days and stretched the state’s firefighting resources.”  These fires is less about arson and may be more about trying to educate Texas that there was a real reason for these states being united, that 51 states standing united is much stronger than one state or a few states standing alone.

Either way the action of this governor by sending “a letter to President Obama requesting federal emergency assistance,” would tend to contradict his former railings of succession.  Maybe now we will be able to hear more about what ideas this governor has to help this country fix some of its issues instead of hearing only party talking points or political rhetoric.  Then that’s my opinion and I could be wrong.
