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."
“Texas is not where you were born but a State of Mind, Heart and Attitude”

The O-B_tard has a few things to learn. FUBO!
'Tis true, unfortunately.
Not to mention the “far ain’ts”, ticks the size of walnuts and the giant flying cockroaches.....
Yes, but more important, . 18 minutes that defined Texas. Fitting conquest of an arrogant Despot.
They sure don’t want to hit bottom first. We did that in Michigan but its taken a lot of pain to start turning things around.
I hope they let me in. I promise to abide by the Constitution.
Can assure you Texas is no where near blue. The Texas attitude is contagious, even some of the Mexicans growing up here have it and even Kalifornia and Damn Yankee immigrants get it. Maybe not Michigan, last time they blackened the sky with U-hauls they didn't stay long, thank God. Nothing personal meant CC. You seem to be an exception.
But even so, what is Texas going to do with the liberals who are already there?
You might want to take another look at a red blue map of Texas.
It is hot here in the summer.Very very hot. But it only lasts about 3 or 4 months.
I had the same intent when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis Washington, my pregnant wife would only be allowed to deliver in Texas, and we made sure of that of course.
I lived in Minnestoopid for ten years, and left when Gov. Mark Dayton made doing business there impossible. It is good to be back in Texas! Minneapolis was the perfect example of “barking moonbats”.

Ain’t No Rroom for “Libruls” in Texas
I believe you. Tell us some of those stories when you have the time.
My baby girl is as Texas as they come, and so are all her babies. The oldest? Meh, she's in California, and can stay there. Win some, lose some. I'll keep the conservatives close to home. ;)

I agree 1000%. Reminds me of the part in Braveheart where Wallace says “if I can live in peace I will........” and there’s that pause at the end that promises drastic consequences for those who would disturb that peace.
I came here almost two and a half years ago for economic reasons and would never go back (except to visit).
Five of the six largest counties of TX voted for Obama, but one of them may have been close. Tarrant was the largest county to go with Romney. South TX especially is Obama country.
“Anyone who wasn’t born here would have to leave..”
But.. but... basil...what about those that have been here since we were knee high to a hoppergrass? Raised in Dallas before it got kooky, married to a true blue west Texan and absorbed that culture, moved to east Texas and absorbed that culture, family in south Texas.
What state would accept such a person? I won’t go, I tell ya! I’ll have to become an illegal alien at this late stage of my life. I can fool the law by making a mouth melting chicken fried steak, green tomato chow-chow and wild plum jelly. Not to mention killing and cooking any game. I can catch, clean and cook my own fish...from my own lake.
Not gonna go...ain’t a happenin’ thing!
