Being originally from TN, how could I be a bigot against Texas since it’s the biggest county in my home state? You couldn’t swing a dead hippie around in the Hill Country and not hit five of my cousins! Furthermore, I live in a part of Georgia that has armadillos, prickly pears and alligators.
Yes, I assumed too much from your screen name, and I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT! The overcriminalization of our society and the militarization of our police is a really sore spot with me, and for that I will issue no apologies to anyone.
As for my screen name, noprogs is NO PROGRESSIVES all run together and chopped off. I hope you can agree with that sentiment.
Concerning Mr. Perry, I’m sure he seems like Paladin after having Richards, and he has done some good things I really like, but there are problems with him I won’t go into here. I could vote for him in the general, and won’t have to hold my nose any harder than I did to vote for W the second time. But it’s primary season, and right now I’m in the bag for Cain unless he really screws up.
Again I apologize for my assumption. Let’s drop the cow chips. Any of the seven would beat what we have now.
I accept your apology. The post you replied to was in answer to icwhatudo in post 4. It upsets me when someone misrepresents a picture or what someone says.
I can understand the reaction to my screen name but the problem is that people, including me, often react without fully knowing the whole story.
The screen name that I am using has been in existence since before any SWAT team was thought about. At least I don’t believe they
were in existence as such during the 60’s. I have been cussed out over the name before and one time so bad that I quit posting for
about a year.
But I refuse to change it. Just like I refuse to stand by and not stand up for my state and my Gov when I feel like they were disparaged.
I have not completely made up my mind about the primaries. I only know who I will not vote for. I have voted for Gov Perry every time he has run.
Had I been living in Georgia when Herman Cain was running for the Senate I would have been behind him 100%.
Voting for a President is an entirely different thing. I’m still listening and watching. The options are getting smaller every day.
