I’ve been thinking about moving to Texas. I used to live in Arizona. I guess we better pray about what to do.

I fly that Flag at home!

I get to see it every day where I work as well.

Come and Take it!

As you well know, it isn't just a flag, it's a way of life.

We *are* the line in the sand. We don't "try to communicate more effectively" with our enemies. We destroy them.

Ask anything of a Texan, and he'll give it to you. Try to take it from him, and Hell's gates open before you.

“What about a far right Christian from NJ that has been ostracized by the state of NJ for getting a homosexual video removed from schools. Also, I am a gun owner and HATE LIBERALS!”

C’mon down!

Now... you need a pick-em-up truck and a gun collection, along with the skills to use both.

I have a relative who is an agent in the Houston area. Where were you thinking about looking? Texas is mighty big ;-)

We want to be on the water, that's pretty much the only requirement. My wife and I both work out of our house, so we don't need to be in any big city... in fact, I'm not a big fan of big cities.

I’m actually a transplanted Okie. Husband and I both born and raised up there, we have a second home up there, but we are thrilled and happy to have made Texas our home for our children! (OU-Texas weekend is always interesting.) If we secede, though, we’ll take you guys with us. ;-)

I feel for ya. I think as long as we have people that don't want to do it "like we did back in (insert liberal arm pit)."

Here we are folks. Texas has joined the fray!

Please ~ping~ me to articles relating to the 10th Amendment so I can engage the pinger.

Click the 10th Amendment button for all articles tagged with keyword "10thamendment"



I continue to add names to the ping list as I run across others I find participating on similar threads. If you want off the list just say so.
