I will be watching this closely.

As will I. He also needs to include Vermont-style carry. There is no excuse to do otherwise.

Rick Perry is a cartoon cowboy.

You can always tell a fan of Rick Perry as somebody who has no clue about Texas or western values.

Perry has done nothing to secure the borders or stop illegal immigrations.

Interesting that one of the sheriffs opposed to sanctuary cities was the daughter of migrant farm workers, and some of the others also have similar ties. Kind of flies in the face of what the liberals would have you believe.

Huh? What am I missing? You guys are the Texans, straighten me out here.

What I read from your link and Swinneys link is that Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez is a hardcore lefty who supports sanctuary cities and opposes any legislation that would do away with them. She's gotta be a sheriff that liberals adore.

An HPD Officer was hit and killed by an ILLEGAL alien in this country who had been deported twice before...

I saw a news story about that, and when I noticed flags at half-staff in Houston on a city building, I thought maybe they'd been lowered for him. I didn't hear about former Gov. "Vinegar Bill" Clements' passing until much later.

Not sure why the flags are still at half mast...I thought it was due to the lazyness of city workers and building managers to get them back up to full staff after the Holiday...

Whether you parse Obama's central positions as Stalinist or as jihadist, there's no room in the inn for liberaltarians in a world run by either.

It'd make a nice curiosity for collectors of the 22nd century if someone did print up a sign or button like that. But that's about it.

I would like to see Ron and Rand Paul both administer the Fed a full-color, hi-rez colonoscopy someday, though, and really drag them through some changes.

Ron Paul Is Head Of Monetary Policy Subcommittee and has been for six months and as far as I know he hasn’t done a damn thing he promised.

Paul is just another Romney without the clown make up as he doesn’t need it.

“If Perry allows the bill to be voted on, it will quite likely get passed. If he then signs it into law, his odds of being the Republican presidential nominee in 2012 will go up. Go figure, all he has to do is ignore those consultants.”

Maybe, but his build-a-burger buddies won’t be happy.

“Not sure why the flags are still at half mast...”

Gov. Rick Perry has ordered by proclamation that all Texas and United States flags in the state be lowered to half staff. The sign of respect is to honor the passing of former Govenor William P. “Bill” Clements, Jr. The half-staff flying of the flag will be until sundown Friday, June 3, the day following his burial.

That's an understatement! Looks like she's a top-tier Democrat trophy candidate.

... Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund hails her as ‘first ever Latina lesbian sheriff’
