You're right, Ganndy. I try to spend a lot of my time on FR providing information, not for those twisting truth and misrepresenting situations, but for those folk just reading and wondering what is going on even.
I know FReepers are smart, most probably a lot smarter than I, but I have pretty decent net surfing skills sometimes and can get related info pretty quickly, and I think that is my contribution to helping those folk here who are reading and who might like to have a little extra (correct) info to help base judgements on.
I can give of my time now and then for this, and I pray what little I can provide opens up doors of thought and more research by those who really want to know or understand something here.
I did put my little note of dismay up there earlier on this thread. I think it was my first post to this thread, but really, I just felt overwhelmed seeing the comments earlier on this thread. I really think some people are completely unaware of the fact that it is our federal government and not our states or towns that are supposed to protect our country. However, I also think there are some who are twisting things... as you say muddying the waters.
Whatever was happening there, and in many other conversations these days, it seems people are looking to the wrong people for our nation's protection and security. I wanted the world to know what our country has done to Texas. Our federal government is supposed to protect our states, not the other way around.
You know, I've been thinking about this. I think we (the people of our nation) have been so accustomed to having our government roles so screwed up that we overall can't even seem to accept what our Constitution says anymore! That's such a shame.
Oh well. So I do my little bit here and there getting correct information out as best as I can so that those reading untruths, misrepresentations, or misunderstandings can possibly sit up and say "Hey, wait, let me check something more out there and see..."
Thanks for your note, Ganndy.
“nobody (I am including Palin) understands the immigration problem more than Perry.”
Oh he understands it just fine and has chosen his own path. That is a path I don’t want foisted on me. Nor do I want to pay via tax money to make up for the Texas shortfall
in revenue because of Perry’s pandering.
