Texas Won't Fold !

Texas is about to be slammed by a CAT-4 or CAT-5 Hurricane. Don’t expect Texas to fold, and roll over, as Louisiana did. It won’t happen.

Texas is not a "Welfare State". Texas takes pride in itself, and in it’s independence. Texas remains the only state in the Union which reserved the right to secede and form it’s own country! That’s how independent Texas is! It also reserved the right to split into five states from the one. That again is indicative of the “can do” spirit of Texans.

Oh well, you may say, sure Texas won’t do as Louisiana did because they have seen what happened in Louisiana and vowed it won’t happen to them, plus the President is a Texan. You miss the point, entirely.

Louisiana is a first class example of a welfare state collapsing of it’s own weight. It was doomed, and remains so, if we can’t save it. Generations of dependence on the government, for everything, paid off in a citizenry completely overwhelmed, and desperate, with no inkling that they were responsible for themselves. They have been taught otherwise from their birth. “Wards of the Government” about covers it.

Texas is nobody’s ward! Texans are proud, Independent, people many of whose ancestors migrated from the Carolinas and Tennessee to populate that great state, liberate it from Mexico, create their own country... and later sue for statehood in the US.

Do not expect the catastrophe of emergency services to happen when Rita hits Texas. It won’t. To even suggest that is insulting to Texans. And it should be.
Louisiana, if it were not a state, would be, in fact, a third world country.

Louisianans lived up to expectations. So will Texas! The difference is… much, much more is expected of Texas. And Texas will deliver.

The words of the old song say “The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You”. But, right now, the eyes of the world are upon Texas!

When the screaming winds of Rita have passed to be replaced by the calming breezes from the Gulf, watch for “Old Glory” to suddenly appear… and right alongside her… the “Lone Star” flag.

It’s called PRIDE, folks! Texans know “from whence cometh their strength”… from God… not from government.

  1. Pray to your higher power that Rita does not hit Houston. And all of its oil refineries.

  2. I would like to congratulate the citizens of Galveston for electing a mayor who apparently knows how to load school buses with evacuees...if only New Orleans would have been so lucky.

  3. We conservatives are counting on you folks on the left continuing to decieve yourseves. This is the sort of nonsense the folks on the fringe of the left wing used to spout. Now, the left wing nuts have become the mainline Democrats.

    So sad to see you self-distruct as you are doing.

    So, I will kindly step aside and allow you to continue.

    Have a nice day!
