Is Texas Heaven?
I love things that are unreservedly, unabashedly and unmistakably American.
So I therefore love Texas.
I’d like to live there (but the liberal wife doesn’t, however). Cowboy boots and hats? The rodeo? Foreboding deserts? Guns? It’s got everything, baby.
And, most importantly and most lacking from the Mid-Atlantic coastline, a love of freedom.
Listen to the people at the Pelosi protest in Houston speaking on this clip -- they voice their concerns far more coherently than Obama can when not with his beloved TOTUS.
Nancy Pelosi should be greeted with welcomes like this every time that she steps foot outside of California.

Texas is awesome, and like you, my wife has me stuck in La-la lib CA land for now……doesn’t hurt to dream though

I also love Texas. We really do have everything in Texas, including Liberals. You should at least convince your Wife to come and visit the state. She and you both would be welcomed. Who knows she might come to love Texas too?
Great blog, I enjoy reading it daily.

The mainstream media wouldn’t do it. So we are trying to get your important messages to the American people. 49 This post is a suggested read at, http://aresay.blogspot.com/

I love Texas. They understand what it means to be a Republic.

I really like the sign behind Wonder Woman, around the 2 minute mark:
“How’s that whole hopey-changey thing working out for ya?”
Classic.

Yes, as a San Antonian, I agree

I absolutely LOVE the “this is John Galt speaking” sign at 0:19. That is my absolute favourite Ayn Rand book. I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t already to read “Atlas Shrugged” ASAP. It’s terrifying, especially considering the road we are on today. It’s also terrifying how many people (yes, even here) really just do not care. I attempted to get an colleague who is on the fence to read Atlas Shrugged a few weeks ago, and was met with the reply (verbatim): “Oh… The anti-commie book with like 2000 pages? I never understood why anyone would read anything written by that Capitalist Pig.” Point for me, I just walked away. My breath is better served breathing air that isn’t wasted on people like that.
As a fellow San Antonian (who moved here from Seattle, WA) I hate to admit this but we do have all types, and your wife may very well find her type here. Heaven knows I have, more times than I care to admit. I raised quite a bit of ire from my children’s Elementary School, after my little ones (ages 5 and
came home trying to convince me to vote for Obama, saying their teachers claimed he was their “hope for the future”. I turned back around and walked in to make my opinion known, which didn’t go over too well. It worked, however, since the kids didn’t mention it again. Unless they just asked my kids not to say anything.
It’s time for our nation to ask: “Who is John Galt?” … and to actually LISTEN and UNDERSTAND the answer.

Apologies; I continue to forget that there are automatic emoticons added to nearly every post on the Internet these days. That was an attempt at “8″, followed by an “)”. As in: my children are five and eight years of age. Silly me and my proper usage of grammar and punctuation.

If I could go to Texas, I would and if the wife stays behind, so let her. There are better sound minded women in Texas anyways.
