"Save Texas. It's the last." Words of warning.
Vanity | 01/10/2013 | houndofthebaskervilles

Posted on 01/10/2013 6:56:51 PM PST by Hound of the Baskervilles

Not long ago I was telling a customer that the product she was testing was from Oregon. The lady, who was probably in her early 70's, shivered when I mentioned Oregon and said she used to live there. I asked her if Oregon was too cold for her. She said, "No I ran away from Oregon to live in Texas." So I said, "Well good. I was reading a news article just this morning about how Texas is thriving with a budget surplus and low unemployment. She replied, "Oh I know, I've lived here for a while now. I ran away from Oregon because there are too many crazies there." (I suspected by crazies she meant leftists but was being circumspect since she did not know me.)

She went on to say she used to live in New York but left to get away from the crazies. She went to Oregon which was fine till the crazies from California started moving there too. "I love Texas," she said. "Save Texas it's the last." I said,"I know just what you mean and I agree with you." And she said again, "I love Texas. Save Texas. It's the last."

I had noticed from the beginning of our exchange that she had a foreign accent. So before she left I asked her where she was from originally. "I am from Russia, she said. "Save Texas. It's the last."

Save Texas?

Better hurry.

Six months ago Obama gave “Executive Order” Amnesty to 1.8 million DREAM Act illegal immigrants.

Last week he gave “Executive Order” Amnesty to 1 million more illegals who have close relatives in America.

2.8 million illegals will receive “temporary” Green Cards.

It is just a matter of time before massive political and MSM pressure turns them into “full time” voting citizens.

Most of them come from Mexico and Central America.

Most have limited education and limited skills.

They will vote 80% for the Democrat Party.

And there are 8 million more illegals, all of them waiting for Obama’s next Amnesty.

Save Texas?

Better hurry.

Not really. It's harsh here in Texas, too. If it don't have a stinger in it's tail, it's got one in it's mouth. Hell, our grass has burrs. Summers are killers with the heat and the drought. And it's full of us rednecks that won't put up with liberal crap.

Summer what's summer, is that when the grizzlies leave the city and go back up into the mountains? I read stories about summer when I was a kid, they talk about double digit temperatures, I can only imagine such a paradise. Speaking of cities we have one here in Idaho it is called Boise. There's rumors they have something called electricity that they use to make light inside the homes. It's really amazing I just touch a little twig in the wall in the room lights up, what will they think of next? They have some strange birds up here in Idaho they fly really high and are silver. They must be close to the sun because smoke comes from tails. There is a stagecoach due into our village in three days with food for the children that have survived the winter this far. As far as the adults go we are hardy group and will be able to survive the remainder of the winter on tree bark. My village is going to attempt to make a run south next year an attempt to locate a paradise called Texas, that is where the silver birds live.

I have to go now because I have a skinhead meeting that I must attend. It seems that our headquarters was raided by the Nez Perce Indians yesterday and they stole our Nazi flag.

That was a very humbling story. To hear that from someone who knows the difference .....

Now the skeptic knows why liberals have always ridiculed Ayn Rand. She knew, too -- she saw the Russian Revolution and how the Bolsheviks raped her country.

My father was born into a Czarist family in Moscow in 1907 and he lived through the Russian Revolution ....

I met a man like that when I was a boy of 11 going on 12. My father was an Air Force Reserve officer on active duty who was assigned to a big NORAD defense facility in the upper Midwest -- a so-called SAGE building, or "Semi-Automated Ground Environment", a thick-walled, heavily-built concrete building designed to withstand a nuclear detonation within five miles.

The Russian was an old Imperial Russian Air Force officer named Louie Lesnik who had left Russia after the Revolution and was on Stalin's long, long death list. In Detroit, he'd been discovered by the local Communist Party, and union goons had cornered him in an alley and tried to kill him. He showed me the deep, unnatural grooves on the top of his balding head where they tried literally to beat his brains in -- "look for the union label", indeed.

So the Air Force gave Louie a sinecure job as a janitor in the big SAGE building, where he had a little apartment and never had to worry about Communist goons again.

Better hurry. Texas is turning blue fast.

'Tis true, unfortunately.

Ah, yes ..... but like blue rinse, it washes out easily and leaves the laundry whiter than ever.

It's reversible, gentlemen, by the same processes that began it. Starting with digging up Lyndon Johnson, hanging him, and burying him again face-down under an Interstate cloverleaf, under 500 tons of wet concrete. Without a marker, by dark of night -- that was what "Landslide Lint'n" feared most: absolute anonymity and obscurity. And oblivion.

I am starting to get a little concerned about all the California folk moving here.


Texas has already been affected by liberal cancer from California in a festering sore called Austin.

One E.O. cancels another. Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Cool.

Actually, secession is the wrong way to go.

Instead, call a con-con and reconstitute the Republic, refounding it on Originalism, and very conspicuously DO NOT invite the six "Boston States" -- just leave them out entirely, as a source of so much historical misery, sedition, and agitation.

I don’t know, berdie. You make a good case for yourself. Ya see, I’m 7th generation Texan so it’s hard for me to accept you furriners...but an exception might be made in your case-—especially if you made a bribe with some of that wild plum jelly.

One thing I can obviously show you is how to face reality because you aren’t even willing to do that.

That takes real courage.

I’m with you. Running away isn’t the answer. Better to lance the infected areas.

The founding and founders of the Texas Republic should be studied and revered. Texas and the concept of Texas should be the model for the coming revolution and subsequent new Republic

I’m from Chicago, I’m trying to scrape up enough job experience, so I can move down to Texas. My state sucks, there is such an attack on freedom here with their gun control, high taxes, and liberal BS. I want my kids, when I have them, to grow up in a better state and have better opportunities than me. Don’t worry I won’t bring Chicago politics with me - the crazies from CA and other states moving there does worry me though.

Hell, our grass has burrs.

As my poor Hoosier dog found out one time!

Stopped at an interstate rest area, let the dog out to do his business, and noticed him whimpering and limping pitifully in just a few moments.

His tender pads were full of burrs that were lurking in the grass!

Now California is in ruins and it's time for the liberals to move on to the new feeding ground.

They are infesting Indianapolis!
