Americans should be proud to have Texas as a state!
And we Texans are proud to be Americans as well. It means a lot for the compliment to be coming from a Coloradan. Louisana is going to have a difficult time dragging their voters (read victims of incompetency and corruption) back to the slums.
Yes, there are certain shortcomings like: Illegal Immigration, CAFTA, that don't ring true with many of us.
What is truly Important is that President Bush is everything, and I mean, EVERYHTING, that the Liberals, the Socialists, the Communists & Jihadists could ONLY wish to be.
Its a state???! :) They way Texans tell me you think they were their own country! :)

Some of the best guys I served with in the Navy were Texans... and I much rather have them in battle with me then from some other states... I won't mention any names, but think left coast.
