Oh, but that midnight sun is just so tempting.
The Won is trying to drive this country into bankruptcy.
If he can decrease our oil supply and income at the same time, that's two birds with one stone for him.
Will any of this push Texas to leave the union?
Please texas, get the process moving! I would love nothing more than to move to a free Texas.
This is what happens when a politician puts politics before whats best for the country.
Nixon pushed for the creation of the EPA and Endangered Species List because he the Enviro Wackos were getting all of the airtime on the liberal media and causing chaos. Nixon figured that if he played politics and did these things he was sure to keep the Republicans in power. The establishment plays politics only for reasons of power. They could care less of the negative impact down the road.
Enough is enough. We are in a battle for the survival of this Republic.
Does anyone else get as annoyed as I do when politicians and journalists refer to our country as a “Democracy”?
"...Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these ColoniesStates; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great BritainPresident is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
- He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
- He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
- He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only...."
That’s the best idea I’ve heard In a while!
Texas is already on fire!................
Stop the Madness!

Texas is the next California. Our legislature, nominally GOP has just endorsed a redistricting plan benefiting the enemy and harming the conservatives. I thought it would be 2016 before Texas went blue, it appears to be going that way as early as 2012.
Texas isn't that great state of conservatism everyone pretends it is, its yet another microcosm of the District of Criminals - filled with politicians and other scoundrels who use government as a way to enrich themselves and their cronies.
Texas will never leave the union, we can't even stand up to the teacher's unions nor defend ourselves against Mexican drug cartels, and with each and every passing day we get the dregs from around the country who couldn't get a job at home or even have the intelligence to know who to finagle their own state's welfare system. They come here and vote free stuff for themselves, oblivious to how destructive that behavior is.
Texas doesn’t have teacher’s unions, just associations.
As for the redistricting plan, I was concerned when I first read the article posted here, but it appears the changes were necessary due to Hispanic population shifts, at least some of them.
No doubt some of it had to do with political posturing by the speaker’s cronies.
That’s bad, but it happens in every state. Coming from Kansas a couple years ago, Texas is a conservative bastion in comparison.
Texas doesn’t have teacher’s unions, just associations.
A difference without a distinction?
I have a friend who was a multi-sport coach in a small Texas school district. Some drama queen decided to make unsubstantiated and contradicting claims that got him suspended while under investigation within a month of the beginning of the school year. The investigation concluded that there was no wrong doing yet the parents didn't want him to return. The school district then pressured him to resign, his union's "association's" lawyers arranged to have him serve the remainder of the year anywhere he wanted. Texas taxpayers paid him for an entire year for less than one month's work while he got to go screw off and pursue sloth.
Earlier this year the teachers unions "associations" arranged protests down at the Capitol, and apparently these unions "associations" were able to exert enough pressure that TX is pissing away the money that could be used to put out the West Texas fires on keeping these shiftless bums employed and their Coliseum Shrines to Football equipped with Godzilla-trons and Rock Band tour buses "for the children".
