Bullshit! We may be the Liberal armpit of the otherwise great State of Texas, but make no mistake about it- this is still the South! We have Confederate monuments all over town, and a firestorm of controversy surrounding each one! Texas was a part of the Confederacy, if you will recall your History. Austin is the Capital of the State of Texas. On that score- you are wrong!
There's always some common ground to be found.
