Texas National Guard on ALert
Sodahead ^ | State Sen Dan Patrick

Posted on 02/22/2009 9:31:47 AM PST by djf

Texas State Senator, Dan Patrick, was on FoxNews this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”. Boy was it!!! The Texas State Legislature had been trying very hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could go jump, and “we’ll take care of Texas!”. As of last night… the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval… but when they could not get it… they acted on their own. Which I say…. it’s about damn time!!! I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest! In case you are unaware of what the problems are …. Sen. Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely!

1) 100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!!!) 2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing. 3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State officials,. are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!! 4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight. 5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the danger on the border (Yeah… like that’s gonna happen!).

FoxNews has yet to put this on their website which absolutely ticks me off!!!! I will post it IF they get the stones to do what’s right!

Let’s pray it doesn’t come to this…. but in reality… Texas could be in a Civil War (actually it would be an international incident) with Mexico very soon if this isn’t quelled. Just so you folks know…. the four Militia Groups that are here in Texas will be put on alert this evening. This has gotten REAL, REALLY FAST!

Bill Ratliff, a RINO from Mt. Pleasant, quit as Speaker over the redistricting. He was willing to let three judges do it instead of the legislature. I still have a serious RINO as my rep - he sided with the dims for the new speaker of the house for this year.

Tom Delay was very important to getting it done right - which led to the Austin DA, Ronnie Earle, going after him on trumped up charges (which have been 'dropped', since Tom is out of the legislature and ronnie has 'retired'.)

Wasn’t that when the Dems all went and holed up in Motel 6 in Oklahoma? It was quite a drama.

I miss DeLay.

I keep hoping for a third candidate to step up to the plate.

I almost voted for Kinky last time (kidding.)

last time I saw him was on a thread about maybe a year or so ago...We talked about Jindal and the election they had down there.

He said he has been busy and off/on FR for a while.

I bet he was able to capitalize and write English.

Winners just seem to have those skills.

Unlike yourself.

You DO realize you are missing capitalization and punctuation, right?

You don't mind these things? You are perhaps unaware?

You were perhaps never taught proper English in the parochial school in Zimbabwe?

Surely they at least taught you to capitalize the first word.

I think you are just being lazy.

See, you did it again.

The first word in any sentence should be capitalized.

There should be some kind of punctuation at the end as well.

Really, you make us all look like illiterate morons.

Be a moron on your little blog by all means, but why trot it out in public?

You might even qualify for some classes.

Well if it’s the Texas State Guard then they can only be put on alert by order of the governor since the TSG is a service and support organization for the Texas National Guard.

There may be some independent militia groups who heightened their alert status though.
