As Michael Savage used to say: “The Stench from the Bench is making me Clench!”
So Texas Freepers, when are you all going to start calling what happened in Waco (the second time) the disgrace that it is?

A bunch of folks here have been saying so all along.
We like to think we're slow to anger and condemn, but once we do, better watch out!
Based on their personal experiences, many Texans have already decided one way or the other. Some side with the bikers and some side with the law. The rest of us are watching and waiting for both sides to be presented. Maybe then we will see what the beast looks like and what we are dealing with in this incident.
We're watching closely to determine if Constitutional rights are being upheld or violated. Being for states rights we already have a deep distrust of a big federal government. Now we're wondering if we have been too trustful of our state and local governments as well. Then there's the first Waco incident, which has never been fully explained or justified, still lingering in our minds.
Mix in some (OK a lot of) illegal foreign immigrants and a Democratic past (Slavery, KKK and Rebel flags) heritage. No wonder it is a bit confusing to non-Texans as to why we are armed to the teeth mostly conservative Republicans waving Rebel flags and thumbing our nose at Washington. But Texans have survived many governments over the years proving we're not as dumb as some might think. We know our rights and responsibilities to ourselves and our government. And we will act to protect those rights. Yes, it's a circus down here, but it is our circus.
In the meantime, the powers in Waco and beyond are not looking very good. I, personally, think they are cornered and f*cked either way. They are just prolonging the inevitable by dragging it out. It was a royal screw-up and the federales are probably involved again, just like the first Waco incident. They need more time to play CYA, look for loopholes in the law, and find scapegoats to justify their actions.
I love my state. I agree it would be disgraceful to condone any corruption of this kind, if that is what we determine is happening. We'll let you know when we find out.
Gee.
That would be since the second article about it.
