No wonder some people get down on Texas! Harriet Miers.

We do not own George. Never will. He is a man without a land.

What did he do for the Texas National Guard? AWOL. Okay? That should give you a hint. We will not claim him.

Texans are proud people. We get slammed for it on occasion.

We have "six flags over Texas". And that is the literal truth.
This land has been occupied by Spain, France, Mexico, Republic, Confederacy, U.S. ..... Make that seven. We have our own flag. And much to my shame, that does not include the Native Americans who lived here long before.

I think this plays large in why we are a proud Republic.

A free and independent Republic of Texas was officially declared March 2, 1836, when the 54 delegates -- each representing one of the settlements in Texas -- approved the Texas Declaration of Independence. After the delegates signed the original declaration, 5 copies were made and dispatched to the designated Texas towns of Bexar, Goliad, Nacogdoches, Brazoria, and San Felipe. 1,000 copies were ordered printed in handbill form.

The government of the United States, by certain joint resolutions, bearing date the 1st day of March, in the year A. D. 1845, proposed to the Republic of Texas, then a free, sovereign and independent nation, the annexation of the latter to the former, as one of the co-equal States thereof,

Secede.
Texas is the only state to retain the right to secede. You betcha.

Some may think us proud (they would be right) .. full of corruption .. no, this land has been fought and conquered many times over. What makes us, the living, proud, is that we were born here or made a choice to adopt.

It is sacred ground. No one, not even George the looter, can change that.

Please respect our heritage. And feel free to share yours.
It is OKAY to feel proud of where we are and where we've been.
America could use a huge dose of that.

Hariette hails from Texas. But she does not have the spirit. She is of the rattlesnake variety. I just have a feeling.

1. Yeah, I thought that too today. "Cronies for Christ" someone

said earlier. I think your right about the rattlesnake part.

2. W was born in New Engand and educated in New England

So why to Texans have anything to do with him. Just curious.

3. He bought the Texas Rangers

for starters. He's into oil. I have NOTHING to do with him.

It's about cash and wide open spaces. Texas is the 2nd largest state, after Alaska. If you want to conquer the world, I guess you start with Texas.

Plus, this is the bible belt. That is changing I think, because I know a whole lot of people who are fed up with the bible and George, who used to "believe". The "christian" thing seems to sit well with some. But it is fading.

Thank god/dess that Cindy Sheehan had something to do with George and Texas. She is a miracle. And it started here. Where he first squatted.

8. Texas is filled with transplants from other states.

Carpetbaggers, if you will. In fact, in major cities like Dallas and Houston, it is difficult to find true native Texans. To be a Texan, one needs only call himself a Texan.

9. I guess I'm a Carpetbagger then! Even though I've been here

half my life and my daughter is a true native.

[DuckBurp]

10. Well ... unless you want to call yourself a Texan.

It sounds like you qualify to call yourself one, if you would like to. (I'll tell you a secret. My wife was transplanted here from another state, but I love her anyway!)

4. You do know that Harriet Miers blog is fake, don't you?

[Why Syzygy]

5. I know it looks fake

haven't spent much time looking at it. What's the story?

[crispini]

6. It's just a joke.

It's hysterical.

7. Not to pop your bubble, but...

The people of Texas voted Bush in as the chief executive of their state twice, with more than 2/3 of the statewide vote the second time.

Then they voted him in as U.S. President, twice, last time around with more than 3 in five Texans voting for the guy.

I'd take bets that the native-born Texans even like him more than us carpetbaggers.

The State of Texas ordered the roadsigns to read someting like "Welcome To Texas, Proud to be the home of George W Bush"

Like it or not, we claimed him.
