Rush Limbaugh is certainly not one to shy away from wild conspiracy theories. On his radio show today, he dreamed up a new one. He suggested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is denying aid to Texas because it is a “red state” that is “not going to vote for” President Obama.

LIMBAUGH: No justice in Texas. Well, it's not just Texas. There is another place that has been denied - and don't try to tell me this isn't political. In this day and age the right question is why in the world should the federal government help Texas? It's a red state. Why should they help Texas? Right, they punished them by not giving them a shuttle. Why should Obama help Texas? He knows that they are not going to vote for him. That is the way of the world these days.

However, FEMA has not denied Texas aid for its wildfires. Although FEMA has not issued a disaster declaration in the state of Texas which would then allow it to provide assistance to civilians. FEMA states that it “continues to support the state of Texas with 22 Fire Management Assistant Grant (FMAG) declarations, including 15 FMAGs since the beginning of April.”

As NBC's Dallas-Ft. Worth affiliate reports, FEMA has provided aid that "[helps] firefighters pay for things such as equipment repairs, food and shelter." As The Houston Chronicle states: This aid covers "75 percent of Texas's costs for emergency response work."

Furthermore, there is no doubt that Alabama is also a red state (Obama lost the state by more than 11 points in 2008). However, after the devastating tornadoes there, Obama signed a disaster declaration for that state.

FEMA also established several disaster recovery centers to aid those impacted by the severe storms. And Alabama is far from the only “red state” to receive FEMA aid.

So much for Limbaugh's conspiracy theory that Texas is not being declared a disaster area because of the state's political leanings.
