It's more like us invading Iraq fostered the Islamic State. Sadam's army would have crushed the IS had they tried invading Iraq with him in power rather than running away as today's Iraqi army did. Not only that but we lost a great counter weight to Iran by taking Sadam out and set off wide spread inter-ethnic / inter-faith violence in the region which has only helped the IS advance.

All Obama did was end our misguided and arrogant attempt at nation building

Sorry for the late reply but...

A) your linked to article does not mention a single disease that can be prevented with inoculation and is thus irrelevant.
B) I'm jumping on the partisan band wagon? How is that? All I did was point out that illegal immigration was irrelevant in the context of the forced inoculation debate. I didn't even voice an oppinion on the overall subject.

You're making things up again.

Disliking a crappy book = poor reading ability?
Liking a crappy book = good reading ability?
Calling a book crappy and making fun of you for making claims that sound like they're coming from a first grader = being defensive of own reading ability?

Ghiradeli hasn't been top notch for years. Our weather is most.certainly some of the best in the world. Violent crime rates are virtually identical between Texas and California (https://www.census.gov/statab/ranks/rank21.html). There hasn't been a power crisis in California for over a decade. An active night life is generally considered a virtue. Breast implant rates in the South are extremely high.

Plus if you want to play the beauty angle, we aren't nearly as fat.

It's great you have regional pride but don't be so condesending if your region can't walk your talk.

Ha, property values are so low because no one wants to live there. It's simple supply and demand. Plus not only is our average wage higher but our wealthiest are wealthier.

As for your conservative versus liberal nonsense, virtually every other solid red state takes in more then it pays in to the fedreal government. Good for Texas for being the exception to the rule but don't harbor these fantasies that Liberal politics don't generate wealth.

I wasn't real thrilled with the linked article. All it did was call out a number with nothing to scale it against.

A real quick search brought up an estimate of three years worth of rain like this would be needed to make up for the drought and also had some other ways of relating what 11 trillion gallons actually means as precipitation received is traditionally measured in inches.
