No, I live in MN and I always thought that Texan’s were different. DONT MESS WITH TEXAS et al.

We can post our complaints and talk big, but when does personal responsibility come into play.

We mow our own lawns and shovel our own driveways.

You “big bad Texans” sure talk big. all talk?

Well first of all, "don't mess with Texas" was a campaign slogan to stop littering in the State, so people like you who don't know what you are talking about decided it meant we think we are big and bad. So please don't litter if you are visiting our great State.

And secondly, I assume you don't want me to break the law and just go out and start murdering people on the streets, right? Do you expect us to act like we are living in some western from the 50's and leave our homes, jobs, children, and head down to form a human shield along the border? Have you done that to prevent folks from entering from Canada? You are a border State so are you defending your border the way you seem to expect law abiding citizens of Texas to do?

I don't "talk big" - if I can't do something I admit it. My personal responsibility as an American is to abide by the laws of the land. Obviously our president is not doing that so I have to rely upon my Governor and Senators, and congressmen to do something about that, however, if the day comes when there is no law in this country, you can bet your ass we will defend ourselves. But expecting me or anyone in Texas to openly break the law just because you think we talk big is ridiculous and not worthy of a conservative.

Look, I apologize for my tone - I attacked you and I was wrong to do it. I can assure you this is a subject that is discussed often in our home, and my husband and son both argue for an all out assault because our government is letting us down. For a family that almost never argues about anything, we have had some heated discussions about the invasion. If I had an answer as to how to legally do something and not end up in jail, I would share it with the world, but for now, we have to hope our legislators do something and if not, we have to hope the citizens of this country make their voice heard in the upcoming elections.

Again, I'm sorry I took this tone with you - it wasn't deserved and I didn't honor myself as a conservative, a Texan or an American by doing so.
