Oh I’m not trying to “fix” Texas. And yes, I am very actively trying to help with Illinois’ course correction. And if you read me carefully, I’m not trying to justify Medina, either. What I’m having a hard time with is the knee-jerk reflex I am seeing here, that our government could never do harm to its own citizens, therefore any act of honestly questioning that gets instantly marginalized. I hope you understand that position strengthens the hand of Big, All-Wise Government, and weakens the ability of we the people to question its authority when it goes astray. I always thought that was one of the good things about Texas. You had a mind of your own and wouldn’t take anybody’s guff, no matter how fancy they dressed it up. Maybe I was wrong?
I don’t disagree with you on that, and I’m a lifelong Texan.Even though I am supporting Perry for re-election at this point, I think what she said has been way overblown.You will find plenty of folks right here on FR that are going to find fault with everyone. There are those here that wouldn’t vote for Jesus for governor, because he was just a carpenter, and had no political experience.
