Guns, bathroom bills, deportation: Is Texas safe for my California kid?
Sacramento Bee ^ | July 14, 2017 | Shawn Hubler

Not long after California officially banned state-funded travel to Texas this summer, we awoke in a hotel there, behind enemy lines. It had been decades since my last visit to the Lone Star State; our daughter had gotten an offer she couldn’t refuse there from a graduate program. That was the good news.

The bad news was, she’d be spending the next several years in a state whose political leaders are pathologically hostile to the blue state where she was born and raised.

Did I miss something? Did the Texas state government ban state travel to California in a bid to influence its internal state politics?

Funny, I live S. CA and my Wife is fearful because I drive around town with “TRUMP 45” Vanity License Plates on my Car.

So far not too many issues outside a few glaring looks, until yesterday.

I’m at my local Costco buying Gas. I get in my Car to leave and this Mexican fellow walks over and asks me if my Plates are referring to Trump being the 45th President. I say yes, and tell him I think Trump is great. Then the guy starts cussing, ranting and raving about how bad Trump is.

I’m sitting in my Car thinking this guy is nuts, so I just tell him whatever you say and start to pull away as he walks back to his Car still carrying on and cussing.

All the while this Black dude gassing up his SUV in front of my Car is watching this. As I pull by him he says that he agrees with the Mexican dude.

I tell him, well this is America and there is no way I would have Voted for the Butcheress of Benghazi, so Trump is my guy.

I caught part of the dialogue on my Dash Cam. My Wife was not amused when I played it back for her.

This didn’t happen in Los Mexicos, East Mexicos or even San Franmexico, it happened in Laguna Niguel, an upscale Community in the former Conservative stronghold of South Orange County.

Liberalism is like Cancer. Given enough time it spreads and contaminates while robbing its Host of Life and Liberty. My Brother saw it happen when Colorado was Californicated.

The Idiot who wrote this Article has it ass backwards.

NO!! Absolutely not. Keep your sick minded government worshipping smug condescending self and your spawn in Kalifornistan where the people around you share your delusions. Texas allows some reality to enter its culture, and you and probably your get will likely not survive exposure to reality and retreat into a catatonic state.

I agree. We don't need 'em down here. Texas is too good for 'em.

Texas is not a safe place for Cali progressive nut jobs such as yourself. If your daughter is a progressive Cali nut job like you than DO NOT send her to Texas or any other blue state. We have enough Cali nut jobs here already.

We conservatives in Texans appreciate your cooperation.

Californians should definitely stay out of Texas. Indeed, they should stay out of Arizona, Nevada, Oregon as well as the rest of the contiguous United States — with the possible exception of New York City and certain areas of New England.

Californians are like the fabled boll weevil. They destroy everything that they touch.

Liberals ignore the fact that businesses can choose otherwise.
I worked for a company that considered LBGT morality, company management going above and beyond the federal contracting guidelines that gave preference to businesses that met the Out and Equal Index.
As in, they let mentally ill men and women use the bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, showers of their choice based on how they identified BEFORE same sex marriage was signed off by the Supreme Court and LBGT moved on to the next niche issue to justify its existence.
This business made these policies far beyond what the law said because it was their right as a business. If a state says “men use the men’s bathroom” the caveat is “but the business can make its own rules otherwise”.
The law is stating that businesses don’t HAVE TO cater to the LBGT insanity but have the freedom to choose.
Liberals don’t want us to have the choice to reject their ideology, hence their tendency toward totalitarianism.

I was in the Army with a guy who woke and put one hand on the ground to get up. A scorpion nailed his hand. He yanked it up and put his other hand down on another scorpion. But I really loved my times in Texas. The air smells better, too!

The state’s politicians are on track to eviscerate what little is left there of Planned Parenthood funding.

This indignant loon wants his daughter to have the "right" to murder his own grandchild.

No your lil snowflake needs to stay the hell out of Texas.

I hear they are starting to hang people that cross their western border now more than they are hanging the wetbacks.

This warning is for her own safety /sarc for this line only
