HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEXAS! (illustrations, short history)

What I admire about Texas - and Texans in general - is the absolute LOVE and pride you guys all feel for your state.

It’s refreshing to hear it. I have similar feelings towards PA. This state is a very strange mix of Small Town Conservative America (the majority of it) and Big City liberal insanity (Philly and Pittsburgh).

[NFHale]

I’ll gratefully accept it!!!!

[NFHale]

Much appreciated!!!!

Just let me know when! lol

BTW, I would strongly suggest that you take some vacation time and come down and look around the state. We have very different areas within our borders. Prairies, Forests, Seashores, the Hill Country and more.

Personally, I would avoid Dallas, Houston and Austin due to large libtard populations.

[NFHale]

Yeah, I would definitely do a recon of the area ahead of time.

And close proximity to a city is out. Have enough of that now.

Hill country, forests.... they suit me fine. I can live self-sufficiently well enough.

Sounds awesome.

I heard that a study was done a couple of years ago that found that the entire population of the US could live comfortably within the state boundaries of TEXAS.

Not that we would want certain segments of the total population moving here... :-) Let them keep places like NYC, LA and Shitcago.

“...Let them keep places like NYC, LA and Shitcago...”

That IS the problem, isn’t it... they frig up their own areas and then move to others to continue the cycle.

I see it in my own area... the city libs get disgusted with the city - forget the fact that the idiots THEY elected ruined it with THEIR policies - so they move out into the surrounding suburbs and bring their lunacy with them.

The de Zavala Flag was the original Bonnie Blue.

Indeed.

Yes, I have seen that in PA. Great many rural gun loving hunters, sane solid citizens.

Then the ComDem City Insanity.

[NFHale]

PA is a beautiful state. Hunting, fishing, game aplenty. Sane gun laws overall; good, rich farmland if you want to farm, plenty of coal, natural gas resources, lakes, rivers... it’s a great state.

The only problem is we’re being surrounded by places like NY, NJ, CT... but that is what it is.

Trying hard to keep the Dems from ruining it.

[Howie66]

Exactly why many of us think that we need to closely monitor our western borders for those morons from California and Colorado....and to the North and East for the plague carriers from those areas.

A suggestion of places to check out:

Victoria, Texas. We used to live there. Very nice town of about 60,000, surrounded by a few small towns, away from big cities- but not too far. Heavily wooded, gently rolling in some areas.

Has college, museums, orchestra, huge golf course. 30 miles to the Gulf of Mexico

Built on the Guadalupe river. Good fishing, boating, safari trips.

Guadalupe river:

As for the Hillcountry, you might check out Fredericksburg. San Marcus (on the crystal clear San Marcus spring fed river) or New Braunfels. Lots of retirees there.

Thank you my friend...

I’m a simple guy, with simple likes and dislikes.

I just want to live someplace where I can walk outside in the morning, watch the sun come up, hear birds sing, and sit on my porch with a cup of coffee, my hound dogs, and enjoy each retired day away from liberals and their bullsh*t and nonsense.

Sounds wonderful.

may be just right for you.
Good luck and God bless.
