In my case, you are 'way off base. I am not opposed to international trade. But unlike you Left Coast immigrants, my chunk of Texas was awarded by the Republic of Texas to my ancestor for service at the battle of San Jacinto, when Texians kicked Santa Ana's murdering @$$ -- and those of his hired assassins -- out of Texas.

It should not surprise you that my neighbors (those on the surrounding "leagues and labors" [look it up] of land) and I do not look kindly upon an under-the-table scheme to take our families' lands and hand them over to a profiteering company -- foreign or not.

We Texans have fought for the right to our "xenophobic protectionism". If you don't like it -- leave!

I deal with leagues and labors every single day, so don't patronize me, and don't request that I leave the state, you jerk.

Eminent Domain existed well before San Jacinto. Look it up.

Texas has seceded? What else did I miss over the holiday?

You wasting your breath on these people. (or at least your fingers) They think that anyone who is concerned about sovereignty or landgrabs is a conspiracy nut, a racist and a Bush-hater. I would like to know what REALLY drives their opinion and why they must resort to petty childishness and name calling, in order to hide their real intent.
