I'll try to avoid your part of Kansas.
Many thanks.
Control over his pitches might have done him better than a loud mouth and asinine opinions.
AMEN!
ZING!!!
Over my head.
" But not of their country."
and you continue to spout your ignorance.
Texas contributed 70,000 troops to the Confederate Cause, and the First Texas Infantry, (Hoods Brigade) will always live in fame as Lee's Grenadier Guards. Lee always called on his Texas boys, whenever there was a tough job to be done.......:)
Not so...we simply place our country in the proper perspective. AFTER our homes.
That, as you well know is a matter of opinion. Who invaded Southern Soil? The South didn't invade the North until much later.
Texas is as Southern as anyplace else in the South. We spilled enough blood for the South to prove it.
Oh my GOD! You live in the "People's Republic of Austin"?!!!! My condolences :)

Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!
Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes, we come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
"Texas, Our Texas," the official state song of Texas, was adopted by the Texas Legislature in 1929
Hell, those of us who DO favor secession as an OPTION are the ones being persecuted.....
Another of my favorite summaries of Southern wit is "She could tell you to go to hell in such a way that you'd look forward to the journey."
Yes, John Rocker was a master of sophisticated wit and understated sarcasm.
Show me an area free of morons, and I'll show you an unpopulated area.
Thanks!
I continue to state fact.
A perspective not shared by patriotic Americans from George Washington on.
I know it is easy to get caught up in all this Civil War stuff and let it color your view of Southerners. But your statement in post #334 is completely disgusting and way out of line.
I can't believe you would question the present-day patriotism of Southerners.
The fact that you show no shame in trotting out the old "dual loyalty" canard about Southerners says a lot about how you feel about your country.
By the looks of it, you only love about 3/4ths of it and could do without the 1/4th whom you apparently consider traitors to this day.
Again, disgusting!
Yeah? Check out some of the slums in the Yankee cities and tell me who is better off? Your dog on your porch will never mug your arse.
