Does that mean we can all look forward to being over run by illegal immigrants that do not want to be absorbed into American culture , but instead make America a copy of their homeland?? I respectfully pass

This fight is far from over, as the uproar over President Bush's attempted Amnesty appeasement (in the form of his Section 245(i) extension), and his defeat last Spring demonstrate. The collusion against Proposition #187 only delayed and exacerbated the coming battle over Illegal Aliens in this country and the Republican Party.

The Republican defeat in La. was due to the fact that people woke up to the fact we have a President giving away America under the table..as more and more leaks out he is assured of a one term presidency as was his daddy..no conservative that cowboy..A "New World Order " man just like his dad

My Husband has to confess to the cowboy boots, though. He's in his early thirties, and he does business in downtown Dallas regularly with a pretty high-tone clientel; he ONLY wears cowboy boots (nice ones). His clients wear cowboy boots with their three-piece suits, too. I think men like cowboy boots because they hide mismatched socks... ;)

He has also been known to wear a bolo tie on "casual Fridays".

I gotta say, the last place I saw a string tie was at a black tie wedding reception at a Dallas Country Club lasts month... actually looked pretty cool with tails!

I don't know if Texas has a "Law of Return" yet, but I'm planning to move back there to retire.

[deport]

Don'tcha just love Texas.........

Ya'll take care of Miss Hillary and Master Chuckie up in New York now, ya hear?

[Argh]

Texas stuff.

You like to be pinged?

Consider your self pinged.

Good and HARD.

Ooooh, baby...

Sometimes you never know what a Texan means.....

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen.

He goes back into the bar, handily flips his gun into the air, catches it above his head without even looking and fires a shot into the ceiling.

"WHICH ONE OF YOU SIDEWINDERS STOLE MY HOSS?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.

No one answered.

"ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA HAVE ANOTHA BEER, AND IF MY HOSS AIN'T BACK OUTSIDE BY THE TIME I FINISH, I'M GONNA DO WHAT I DUN IN TEXAS! AND I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO DO WHAT I DUN IN TEXAS!"

Some of the locals shifted restlessly.

He had another beer, walked outside, and his horse is back! He saddles-up and starts to ride out of town.

The bartender wanders out of the bar and asks, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?"

The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."

lethal injection

Plus we swab 'em with alcohol before we poke 'em! Who says we ain't civilized?

No, seriously,

Don't Mess with Texas
And don't move here, either

[dtel]

The only "Law of Return" I am aware of is that any haughty attitude be left wherever it was picked up and don't be too proud (or squeamish) to chunk a cow pie.
You must also pay proper homage at The Alamo.
Looking forward to your return.

I have Texas family...been to San Antonio and Austin.....I have driven from Houston to the border..

Do I love texas..not particularly..

Hillery will be long gone and America will still be dealing with the New World Order of the Bushes..Banana Republic ...

Texas is the face of the future?? Nope..the face of the future is the corrupt and poverty marked Country of Mexico...We have seen the future and it will be assured by the cowboy conservative UNLESS the sheeple wake up

[deport]

Yep it's always the sheeples fault....

Get used to it as the 'new world order' is the coming alignment..... heck the 'building burgers', 'illumunattis', 'CFRers', all have plans for you... they arent' gonna let their investments go down the tubes.....

May you have a nice Christmas Season an in the spitit of Christ.....

[american spirit]

I would agree with your assertion about where Texas is headed especially when they complete the FTAA (Free Trade of Americas) in the not too distant future. Since the FTAA will be the Americas version of the EU, TEXICO is destined to be the jump off point for an endless groups of desperate people from Venezuela, Brazil, etc. seeking relief from their strife-ridden countries. Since we're destined to become one big happy multicultural region called the American Union guess who'll have to pay thru the nose to provide services for our new "guests".

An AA captain originaly from SF told me...

"never ask a man if he is from Texas...if he isn't...you will embarass him...

and if he is...he'll tell you!"

[georgiabelle]

You know I’ve never been to Texas, but I’ve heard you all and others talk about it.(One leg in, must remember to take off shoes first). I’ve heard how everything
in Texas is better and bigger than everywhere else (Pulling up around waist, glad I haven’t had Christmas dinner yet.) I know that Texans are the biggest and I assume the best bar fighters.(Shrug shoulders in, zip up and don helmet, SUIT ON.) Now that I’m ready could I ask you all just one question? This is for all of you who live in Texas.

Why do illegal aliens only cross over into the United States in Arizona . I mean surely if Texas and of course Texans were being over run as Arizona is then they would be the ones with the Border Guards and the Ranchers and the militia.

I really think that you should tell the rest of the Border States how to protect themselves and their property. I’m sure you know what I mean. Tell them how the citizens of Texas do not have to put themselves in the line of danger by trying to uphold the law and the Constiution. I’m sure that we will see more of you Texans going to Arizona to help out their militia since you don’t need one.>sarcasm off>

FLAME ON!!!!!!!

[hove]

The future is Texas huh? Have you seen a map of Aztlan?? A pretty good chunk of Texas is in their plans.

[RnMomof7]

Get used to it as the 'new world order' is the coming alignment.

GHWB words not mine..
