Don't Mess With Texas

We do things different, here in Texas. A lot of foreigners, those who do not live in Texas, do not understand how things and people are in Texas.

There's been a lot said lately about the middle school rifle raffle in Lampassas. A while back, not too long ago, a registered sex offender approached some of the children during school hours, on the school grounds. The proceeds will go to build a fence around the school to keep child molesters and drug dealers away from our children. If the fences don't keep them out maybe the rifle will! We're serious about protecting our kids in Texas!

When we elected George W Bush, we had record surpluses from Governor Ann Richard's administration and surpluses from a balanced budget from the President Bill Clinton administration in Washington D.C.. On both counts George soon spent all of the surplus money and left Texas, and the United States of America, in record debt. Ain't George great? And we keep electing him!!! Ain't America great?

Texas Governor "Ma" (Mariam Amanda) Ferguson back in the 1920's was vehemently opposed to a then shocking attempt by the Texas legislature to incorporate bi-lingual English-Spanish teaching in the Texas school system to improve the education of a growing Hispanic population in the south Texas cities. "Ma" Ferguson made an unheard of impromptu visit to the legislature in session prior to the vote. She held aloft her very own copy of the King James Bible and asked the rowdy crowd what this book was. Someone yelled out "The Bible, Ma!" She thundered out "What language is it written in?" someone else yelled "English." Ma said "If English was good enough for my Lord Jesus Christ, then by God its good enough for the schoolchildren of Texas", and the bill was killed by a near unanimous vote.

Yeah, things are different here in Texas!!! Don't mess with it!
