"Save Texas. It's the last." Words of warning.
Vanity | 01/10/2013 | houndofthebaskervilles

Posted on 01/10/2013 6:56:51 PM PST by Hound of the Baskervilles

Not long ago I was telling a customer that the product she was testing was from Oregon. The lady, who was probably in her early 70's, shivered when I mentioned Oregon and said she used to live there. I asked her if Oregon was too cold for her. She said, "No I ran away from Oregon to live in Texas." So I said, "Well good. I was reading a news article just this morning about how Texas is thriving with a budget surplus and low unemployment. She replied, "Oh I know, I've lived here for a while now. I ran away from Oregon because there are too many crazies there." (I suspected by crazies she meant leftists but was being circumspect since she did not know me.)

She went on to say she used to live in New York but left to get away from the crazies. She went to Oregon which was fine till the crazies from California started moving there too. "I love Texas," she said. "Save Texas it's the last." I said,"I know just what you mean and I agree with you." And she said again, "I love Texas. Save Texas. It's the last."

I had noticed from the beginning of our exchange that she had a foreign accent. So before she left I asked her where she was from originally. "I am from Russia, she said. "Save Texas. It's the last."

“But even so, what is Texas going to do with the liberals who are already there?”

Could be worse...

We’d have to think about that-—long and hard.....

Back in the mid-70’s I was priveleged to work with a Romanian refugee that had escaped. His stories were chilling. And I have never forgotten him or my first ‘real’ education on Communism. History books in school don’t go far enough. Speaking with people under former rule most certainly does.

There are many spots around the country not going down the sewer. Am able to name several, but I’ll add ... God Blessed Texas. May God Bless the spots around the country not going down the sewer, and may God help this Nation rise above the sewer of our outlaw government in D.C.

Not being there... I’m a bit jealous because what has been seen cannot be unseen hah.

I don’t think it’s just Texas that needs to stand up though, there needs to be a mass resistance to tyranny.

I’d like to build a fence around our whole state and keep the furiners out!

Anyone who wasn’t born here would have to leave, and you’d need a passport if you wanted to visit for a while..........

I'm with you on that, but I'd like to shut the valves on every pipeline at the border leaving Texas. I'll add one more request - send the liberal Austin residents to Kalifornika and the Katrina refugees back to NOLA.

We will simply carve off the counties along the Rio Grande and give it back to Mexico. Austin can go with Michigan.

We’re pretty good down here in Georgia....In fact, most of the old “Confederacy’ states are conservative and freedom loving....

But I do love Texas!

We need to get involved in our local politics and grow our conservatives from the ground up. Texas is a little bluer than I’d like it, but it sure beats any other place I have been too, hands down! Hey, there was a business here in Austin that got shut down after the owner tweeted he didn’t give an F***** about white kids getting killed (Sandy Hook tragedy). I worked hard on that one. No threats, just exposure, exposure, exposure, exposure of the comments. I think I first read about it here on FR. Ticked me off so bad I couldn’t help myself! If we can keep our locals a little more in line, Texas has a chance. San Antonio does worry me a bit. One great thing about San Antonio though is it’s got a lot of military. There’s hope!

I lived in Colorado from 1975 till 1989.

I still remember a bumper sticker from the late 70's when the fruit and granola stores and folks from California started moving in and trying to change a good old Western mountain, mining, cowboy, and ranch state to their ideals of peace, love, lighter than air, and environmentalist plans.

"Don't Californicate Colorado!"

When a friend of mine was out of state for duty he took a jar of Texas dirt so his kids could be born of Texas land.

Fodder for the cannons. We will keep them in the urban areas where we can watch them. They are not cut out for life away from the malls and air conditioning.

*******

A number of years ago that was Edwin Edwards’ solution to some problem he was having with the feds in LA. He commented that he’d like to close the valves at the north LA border.

There should probably be a white dot in the Austin Asylum, where all the crazies go.

She doesn’t know about Louisiana . We are the last stand for freedom. Texas is being overrun by Mexican illegals.

There’s nothing wrong with Texas that can’t be fixed but denial and running away isn’t the way to fix it.
