Abbott has declined several requests for an interview over the past several weeks. After his initial remarks got widespread media attention, he emphasized that Texans support the US military while laying the blame for popular concern on Obama.
The cause of the underlying concerns is that we see instances, like a shooting in Fort Hood by a terrorist, that the president labels workplace violence. We see the president come to the border in Texas and say its safer than its ever been, Abbott told Austin-based NBC affiliate KXAN-TV. And so I think it was a misplaced perception by people in Texas who have problems with the Obama administration and connected that trust with the Obama administration to the military.

These people are clearly paranoid delusionals that need to be in the care of professionals.

Of time, of human energy, and of tax payers money.
We could take the waste and do something productive. Progressives should be speaking out against this colossal waste.
