Jeri,

I am on the fence about how much cost I want to put into trying to help out people who are perfectly capable of helping themselves but who CHOOSE, with arrogance, and ignorance, not to do so.

Unlike Jesus, I do not seem to have that desire to "save" them.

IF the south secedes again, I say let them go. Me?

I would give a speech giving Texas back to Mexico, 5 minutes after secession, if I was President and offer Texans as examples of those willing to work for low wages in their new country - Mexico.....

Yep. If I was President, Mexico would be granted Texas as one of my first efforts to rid myself of a troublesome bunch of folks who cannot think their way out of a wet paper bag on a hot, sunny, Texas day.

your friend from TX, mike

I wonder how these individuals (Lloyd Bentsen, Henry B. González, Barbara Jordan, Lyndon B. Johnson and Ann Richards … and probably a few others whom I may fail to recall or mention here) might have felt [or feel] about the current and recently current regime of republican politicians running [attempting to control] the state of Texas? Are there not enough or great deal more of proud Democratic American Texans who can help wrest back control of the politics in that State? Beto can’t do it alone!!!

Rove used Goebbels tactics to foist W on us and the whole country. Those mentioned would be so appalled, add Mollie Ivans. Laws have been passed that will be hard to overcome. I went broke trying. Beto was my hope.

I hope you live to see your efforts vindicated, Jeri.

Nope. The Civl War was too costly, and we still see its effects as in next week’s argument before the Supreme Court about whether the promise of the 14th Amendment means anything.

Cult rules the fools. They are certifiable, but most old, and retired. Still the money and the hate tip the scales.
