Liberal blog Daily Kos uses Oklahoma tornadoes to claim free market conservatism kills...

The kids at Daily Kos are outrageous as usual...

Via Newsbusters:
(Daily Kos) — . . . Free market conservatism kills? Yes, that’s right…[T]here were no rules in Moore or anywhere else in Oklahoma mandating that buildings…have so-called “safe rooms” or underground shelters to protect people during a storm…
What happened in Moore is outrageous, and represents a(nother) failure of conservative ideology, an ideology built around faith in the free market and a reflexive rejection of regulation. This kind of Ayn Rand-based extreme thinking claims to exalt “freedom” of the individual, but what it does in reality is force individuals into a death race where, in order to compete on cost, they have to cut corners — putting themselves and others at risk if something goes wrong — or lose the race. If the chances of disaster are relatively small, too many will choose to cut those corners…
…Freedom does not mean the right to not build an underground shelter because no pointy-headed government regulator’s gonna tell me I have to. That’s the “freedom” of a five-year old who won’t eat his broccoli and spills his plate on the floor…

Shameful: Democratic Senator uses Okla. tornado for anti-GOP global warming rant...

Actually, tornado activity has recently been at a 60-year low...



Via The Daily Caller:
While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming.

Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters.

Nature can unleash horrible things.
At least 116 people were killed in Joplin, Mo., which received the worst of the severe weather.

Since the toll has exceeded 115, it is now one of the ten deadliest tornadoes of all time, none of which have occurred since 1953, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

This story will be continually updated throughout the day as more information becomes available.
