Woo Hoo! Time for Texas to Secede...
And besides. We Texans own more guns than there are Mexicans in Mexico. I welcome them to try and come and take it. All that it will do, is allow us to have a year round huntin' season.

Perfect example. Not being arrogant here, but I do a good job at my work. I consistently hit monthly and annual bonus goals. However, the "bonus" that I make is so heavily taxed, it's almost not worth having it! Nearly 30% of "my" bonus is taxed and taken away from me.
The moral of the story: It hasn't "paid" to go above and beyond for quite some time now.

I'm down, I made sure I stopped by the local police supply and stocked up on some Ammo just in case. I wanted to be ready, besides I figure the price will go up drastically over the next 4 years!
30% while seemingly high, is still a lot lower than 50-59% that has been tossed around!

Huh? Not punished for doing a good job? Like that hasn't been going on for years.

The obvious choice is Chuck Norris, with able assistance from Ted Nugent.

My college student daughter already said (out of sarcasm, after the election was over) she's moving to Mexico.

Here yall go, I got this in an email a few days ago... Just read it though

Rules of Texas :
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I
drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive,
you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the
way.
3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to
you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20
and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.
4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000
cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being
friendly. Try to understand the concept.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming
in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have
it up to your ear at! the time!
7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi &
caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
8. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a
religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women,
regardless of age.
10. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order
steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of
ham & turkey.
11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes:
meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and
Picante Sauce!! Oh, yeah, we don't care what you folks in Cincinnati
call that stuff you eat. IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and
bred in San Antonio and real chili never met a bean!
12. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet,
and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better
be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
13. College and High School Football is as important here as
the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards
-- it spooks the fish.
15. Colleges? Try Texas Tech, Texas A&M or University of Texas
They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and
country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for
the holidays.
16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and
Marines, than any other state, so 'Don't Mess with Texas .' If you
do, you will get whupped by the best.
17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once
said: ' Texas can make it without the United States , but the United
States can't make it without Texas !'
Texas is the greatest state ever!!
