Don't Piss off Republicans

Republicans are the ones who generally have/bare arms legally. They don’t like big government. And they also generally agree that over taxations and big government are very bad. To bad there were not more republicans at the cross the nation tea parties. But most republicans work for a living. In general, this is why you don’t see republicans at protest rallies…there just to busy working, instead of marching and complaining. But, when Republicans make national news because they attend protest, this should be a wake up call folks.

Well if they're going to secede then they need to rescind their request for an extension of FEMA funding to fight wildfires, continuing recovery and cleanup from recent hurricanes and the use of Federal troops to protect the border.
Abraham Lincoln, the undisputed icon of the Grand Old Party referred to secession as the ultimate act of despotism and anarchy.
Fact: for every dollar in taxes Texas sends to the Federal Treasury they receive $.88 back. Compare that to the great state of Minnesota which gets around $.44, or Delaware at around $.38.
Comparatively speaking they are hardly getting the short shrift.
Shortly before the start of the Civil War the governor of the state of South Carolina referred to Texas as being too small to be a country and too large to be an insane asylum. And they were supposed to be on the same side.
If i were a Republican I would be embarrassed to have this oafish clown as a member of my party.
If I were a citizen of the great state of Texas I would be mortified.

Seems the GOP is taking their ques from the Somalia pirates lately. A minority group takes control of a ship/state and holds it for ransom. If their demands are not met the pirates/politicians threaten not to return the captured ship/state. Nice. Let me know how that works out for you.

Yea Texas said that before. They have it good , they're not going anywhere. I remember in the Army in Basic training when the drill sergeant would ask everyone where they were from and there was always someone from Texas and the response from the Drill Sergeant was always the same. "Only two things come from Texas, steers and queers and you aint got no horns bitch". I used to laugh so hard I'd have to drop for twenty for disrupting formation. Yea everythings bigger in Texas like egos and assholes. Hahaha.

Hey Matt,
did your drill sergeant ask where you were from? Did you tell him Guam?
The reason i ask is that it seems like I always had the hardest time with that when I came back stateside. Someone would ask where 'ya from and I'd be like well I used to be from illinois but really I'm kind of from Guam which then would follow the inevitable questions of where is that and do they speak english there and are there cannibals in grass skirts running around and after awhile you just want to tell people I'm from nowhere.

Yes Doug and when I told him Guam, he didn't have anything funny to say so he would make me drop and do twenty anyways. Sheesh.
