There are a certain number of wackos in any society, and we even have some up here in the "progressive" Northwest. That these people seem to be concentrated in the Republican Party nowadays isn't too surprising.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-42071057736700538882009-04-24T05:21:00.000-07:002009-04-24T05:21:00.000-07:00It's... pretty much been like this for a while, ye...It's... pretty much been like this for a while, yeah. Though, the secessionist thing is something that almost every teenage Texan goes through at least once in their life.<br /><br />Until, of course, they realize that some things are just stupid, or their Government or Texas History teacher shows them that, hey, Texas really doesn't have the ability to secede by any means.<br /><br />Which is weird. My Government teacher made a big show of being an Evangelical Christian, but never incorporated it into his lesson. Maybe I was blessed with sanity and an urban center.<br /><br />Granted, considering I've spent a lot of time with three younger Republican types, I can say that it's probably likely that this won't change any time soon.Andre Viennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864186604162631554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-75896098807190470442009-04-24T04:55:00.000-07:002009-04-24T04:55:00.000-07:00A peaceful one, Dana, that's the hard part. Texas ...A peaceful one, Dana, that's the hard part. Texas has always been fractured between the progressive vs. the alliance of bootlickers of the wanna-be-propertied class with the most retrograde of Bible-thumpers. But it's gotten easier to recognize the insanity of the latter now, so there's reason for hope.Paul Havlakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12385570293620774275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-60814474061118253192009-04-24T04:54:00.000-07:002009-04-24T04:54:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul Havlakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12385570293620774275noreply@blogger.com
