A Texan Tells it Like it IS!


Texas is a frontline state... again! Their border with Mexico is in a constant state of turmoil. They know, first hand, the dire straits in which the US finds itself.

Our friend, down in Texas, "Texas Fred", over at "Ace in the Hole" doesn't hold back when he spells out the situation in this post:

Now... when our Congressional Representatives shuck their suits and don their jeans and slide onto a stool, at any of a number of "waterin holes" along the Texas/Mexican border, and listen and observe, then they too will know what THEY are talking about.

You know, it is one thing to take a military aircraft to Iraq to check on the situation there... but to take a Delta flight to Texas and check the situation THERE is just too much!

If they don't do something, and soon, to stop the invasion across our Southern border... when they DO decide to visit Texas, they'll have to wear the same flak jackets and body armer they have to wear in Iraq! It is deteriorating that badly.

Students of the American Civil War know that Congress turned a blind eye to the South's pleas for relief from the "Tariffs of Abomination". That Congressional deafness led to the bloodiest four years in the history of this country.

I'm not suggesting a Civil War. What I AM suggesting is that Congress is making the same mistake AGAIN! They are refusing to listen and take the pleas from the South, AND the West, seriously. They (the Congress) are playing with fire. They can choose to put the fire out now,while it is a rather large brush fire, or, they can allow it to become an all consuming congflagration. Unfortunately, they give all indications they have chosen the latter.
