Nixon may have learned this tactic from his predecessor Lyndon Baines Johnson, who was unable to stomach the fact that Amarillo and surrounding counties voted for Barry Goldwater for president in 1964. Amarillo Air Force Base was ordered closed and most of the operations and personnel were transferred to Shepherd AFB in Wichita Falls, a heavily Democratic county.

Where once there was an Air Force base (Amarillo)
Johnson, though, had additional motive to act with impunity against Amarillo. His loudest critic, historian J. Evetts Haley, made his home in Randall County. Haley had published A Texan Looks at Lyndon: A Study in Illegitimate Power, which claimed LBJ conspired with West Texas swindler Billy Sol Estes to have murdered three men that might have connected the president to a huge agricultural scandal in the state. The potential witnesses all died mysteriously of carbon monoxide poisoning in their cars. The book was on sale during the presidential campaign and was said to have been outsold in Texas “only by the Holy Bible.”
In order to discern the symptoms of a disintegrating liberal Democratic Party, one must observe their disturbed acolytes
in Hollyweird....
<><> Meryl Streep lacerated Trump at Hollywood’s Golden Globes gala;
<><> Robert DeNiro publicly profaned the president of the United States and got got a standing ovation from his fellow weirdos;
<><> Peter Fonda went ballistic and suggested the president’s son should be kidnapped and caged with pedopiles.
<><> Hollywood writer Pat Dussault threatened to go after Donald Trump Jr.’s little daughter, Chloe.
REALITY CHECK -— DNC head Perez declared upon taking the job, “abortion-on-demand is Democrats’ ticket to victory.”
But Perez’s abortion worship tactic failed miserably.
So I guess Perez is looking at infanticide, maybe assisted suicide?
Perez must know mercy killing of the Hollywood elite is a definite vote-getter......Streep, DeNiro, Dussault, and Fonda can go first.
Packing plants ? That’s where they all work in that little dot in the middle of Nebraska. Thanks a lot Tyson and IBP.
I can hear the liberal response now: " That's just like the Nazis...etc."
Well what’s wrong with private actions.
No, wait a minute! We live here, totally conservatives Republicans... trying to make Austin Red.
Do you vote in every city council election and school board election?
MUCHO, MUCHO we need here in TN!!
Heading East?!
Well, then don’t they hit Oklahoma? Not much rest there for the weary liberal. If they headed west, they’d be in New Mexico pretty soon though.....
I’ve been reading Haley recently. Not that book, but his histories. Very rich stuff.
For real, the Texas panhandle is full of characters. And lefties are certainly out of place there.
Lots of reasons.
well said!
Thanks. I’ve lived there 3 different times.
Graduated from WT in 1970.
Father-in-law was born and died there. (only gone for a couple of years during military.)
It is a place of friendly great people.
God bless Texas!
Liberals have already destroyed the state of California, so they're out looking for mores states to destroy.
She actually is 1 cattle. (herself)

We need these on the US border!
I-40 goes through Arizona ... we don’t want the imbecile liberals here either
LOL! They have already ruined my adopted home, Colorado. “Don’t mess with Texas” now! (lived there for a while too).
