The Heart of Texas Chapter (HOT) of Free Republic would like to invite any interested FReepers and their families to join us on Saturday, November 23rd for a day at the George H.W. Bush Library and Museum in College Station, Texas. We will meet at 12:00 noon inside the rotunda of the museum. At 3:30, we'll go to a local restaurant for some good food, conversation, and FReeper Fun. Please join us for a fun afternoon!

Reminder Ping. Hope ya'll can make it.

Are we going to pick a time/place to convoy from?

If we want to allow 30 minutes for a quick lunch we should probably leave here by 10:00. The way we went last time was from North Austin,east on 79, SE on 36, east on 21, SE on 47. From South Austin, 21 may be better.

Thanks for getting all the info together.

[Txslady]

Thanks for the detailed information :o)

As I said before-- I will not be able to make it. A teacher and myself are taking some GT kids to see a re-enactment of the civil war in Hempstead on Saturday.

Hope you all have a blast! Bring us back some pictures too --please :o)

[JRandomFreeper]

We won't be able to be there, but please ping me to the after-action report thread. Ya'll have fun!

Thanks for the ping. I'll be there with my daughter. She is an aspiring Aggie so we're going to do a quick tour of the campus and visitor's center then head over to the Bush Library at Noon. Regarding restaurants -- I cast a vote for Freebird's!!!!!

Valerie, will you be going? If you are and want to convoy, ping or FReepmail me. We'll probably leave the Waco area around 7:30-8:00 AM. If that doesn't work for you, I look forward to seeing you at the library.

Nothin' like a little revisionism.

Am I the only one that remembers that George HW Bush had one of the most liberal voting records in Congress before he was foisted on Reagan's ticket?

Does no one else recall the collective groan that arose from hopeful Conservatives (and Reagan supporters) when said foisting was announced at the convention in Detroit? We were hoping for a Reagan-Crane ticket...

Come on, people...Bush was a liberal from the word "Go". Hell, he could not even pretend to be Conservative enough to win a second term, proving how much like Reagan people hoped he would be the first time around, and how much he wasn't. This after approval ratings in the 70s after the Gulf War (aka the War of Coitus Interruptus).

Certainly we can remember who Bush 41 really was, and hold the feet of Bush 43 to a hotter fire.

[DrewsDad]

Can you tell us which Freebirds locations have larger seating areas?

[DrewsDad]

Would you rather visit the LBJ Library?

I don't think anyone is wholeheartedly endosing Bush41's record here.

[Endeavor]

Gig 'Em, ya'll and have a wonderful time. I will think of you stomping around my collegiate hometown tomorrow and will be intensely jealous! Hope you have a great time at the Bush Library and in fellowship with each other - even the "t-sips" among you! -- E

[Cacophonous]

What makes you think, out of anything I said, I'd rather visit a library commemorating a Marxist like LBJ? (A good friend, and astute political student, on LBJ: "Johnson? My only regret is that the sonofabitch died in his sleep." I laughed until I couldn't see.)

Your invitation makes no sense. Are we limited in our choices to a liberal acting like a liberal (LBJ) and a liberal pretending to be a conservative pretending to be a moderate (GHWB)? A pox on both of them, I say.
