Ditto. Semper Fi Mr Patterson. Hard to find a politician with a backbone these days.
Tell ‘em Jerry. Give ‘em hell!
Hopefully, our Land Commisioner Jerry Patterson will become our Governor Jerry Patterson.
the newspaper’s owned by mcclatchy of sacramento, ca—that’s the problema.
but mcclatchy may be bought out by a bigger fish.
We don’t call it the Ft Worth Red Star for nothing.
The paper acts as if this is a bad thing.
Typical modern journalist. Didn’t bother looking at Commissioner Patterson’s previous accomplishments. They could have found he authored the original Texas Concealed Carry law.
So, “bordering on obsession”, really just means ‘stickng with his convictions’.
What a stud!
I knew I liked that guy!
The FW Star-Telegram’s chief claim to fame, until rather recently, was that they were the home office of the poison pen of the late, unlamented Molly Ivins.
Now they have a cretin to replace her with, Bob Ray Sanders (don’t you just automatically distrust a grown man who goes around flouting his middle name?), which seems quite appropriate.
Letter to FWST
I find it ironic that your paper, in the business of selling words and ideas under the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, stating that the Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, so easily casts aside the 2nd Amendment stating, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Political relativism is alive and well at the FWST. What a luxury it is that you can pick and chose what parts of our rights your wish to support. It proves that, as with all moral relativism, our Constitution is no threat to our form of government.
Since Commissioner Patterson’s words seem to mean nothing to your editorial board, shall we also equate this standard to your words?
We, the citizens, rely on you, the press, to print the truth in your yellowed pages. You have a unique responsibility to us, as it is the press that guards our gates and protects or civilization from the hordes entering there, intent on our destruction. Of late, we are suspect of the impartial exercising of your constitutionally granted responsibility.
