Oh god yes. Think it's the swastika tatoo on my forehead? I stopped to get gas in cour d'alene once and got 12 phone numbers from dudes in boots and trim haircuts wanting me to come to their meetings. Fvckin fags.


You're digging too deep here. I was just poking fun at your statement of 'WE as racially tolerant SOUTHERNERS'. Three sentences in a row that I thought were funny, that's all. It was just a joke.

You'd be interested to know that it surprised me how much south is out west BTW. When I get away from any city and I might as well be in alabama. White rural nevada would seem right at home to you culturally. The funny part is how much ranting and raving about minorities you get and there just aren't any around

The Washington Post reported on Sunday that at least seven people it interviewed said the name for a portion of the property, Nxggerhead, was visible on the rock at the entrance “at different points in the 1980s and 1990s,” and that a former worker said he believed he had seen it as recently as three years ago.

It's OK Rick Perry was a DEMOCRAT at that time he didn't switch parties till 1989.

Remember is was DEMOCRATS that started the Ku Klux Klan.

Remember is was a DEMOCRAT governor that stood on the school house steps to prevent desegregation.

Remember is was a DEMOCRAT senator what was the "Exalted Cyclops" in the KKK.

Remember is was DEMOCRATS that organized the record Senate filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The DEMOCRAT Party is built around the pillars of ultra leftists, many of whom are known participants in racism and/or affiliates of racist hate groups.

FACT DEAL WITH IT.

[Hello Kitty]

With a tenure in office to date of 10 years, & 289 days, Rick Perry is the longest continuously serving current U.S. governor.

Interesting indeed is how this has never been an issue in 2002, 2006 and 2010 Texas gubernatorial elections.

This has got the be the biggest non-story ever and it is really sad to see Herman Cain pulling the “race card” stunt on this non-event.

By the way...Texas has the right to secede

Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the united States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of Texas (or any other "free and independent State") from the United States. Joining the "Union" was ever and always voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option (regardless of what any self-appointed academic, media, or government "experts"—including Abraham Lincoln himself—may have ever said).

Both the original (1836) and the current (1876) Texas Constitutions also state that "All political power is inherent in the people ... they have at all times the inalienable right to alter their government in such manner as they might think proper."

Could an independent Texas survive economically? The facts say 'Yes'

The Texas economy is the largest one that's still growing in the U.S., and in 2006 the state was home of six of the top 50 companies on the Fortune 500 list and 58 of the top 500 -- the most of any state. In 2008, the state had a Gross Domestic Product of $1.245 trillion, second-largest in the U.S. and 15th-largest in the world.

Texas currently conducts more than $150 billion a year in trade with other nations; it leads all other states in exports, and has for five consecutive years. In 2005, per-capita domestic production in Texas was $42,975 per person.

Texas has the second-largest workforce in the nation, some 11 million citizen workers, and an unemployment rate among the lowest in the U.S. The reason for that: the state government has made economic development a priority in recent years, and has helped create a favorable business climate for companies looking to relocate. Texas also eschews a state-level income tax on prooductivity and its real-estate prices compared to other states and regions remains largely undervalued.

Texas leads the nation in the production of beef, oil and natural gas. It also leads the nation in both the production of alternative energy and in the construction of new alternative energy productin facilities; an independent Texas would be completely energy-independent and among the world's leading exporters of oil, natural gas and energy products.

Texas also has a thriving lumber industry based in the eastern part of the state, while the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is a key center for the defense industry, a banking center and the information technology industry. Texas is the nation's No.2 manufacturer of computers, components and electronmic equipment.

The Houston/Beaumont area features the world's largest concentration of petrochemical refining and production facilities, and Houston is a major center of medical and biomedical research, aerospace research and shipping. The Port of Houston is the largest port in the nation and sixth-largest in the world.

Texas is also a leader in the production of cement, crushed stone, lime, salt and sand and gravel.

The state is also among the world's leaders in the production of rice and cotton, primarily along the Gulf Coast, and in the production of citrus products in the Rio Grande Valley. Texas features the most farms, both in terms of numbers and in acreage, in the nation.

In addition to cattle, Texas also leads nationally in the production of sheep and goats. The Texas Panhandle and South Plains has also become a major producer of cereal crops.

Texas agricuture is also a leader in the production of greenhouse and nursery products, corn, hay and wheat. The state ranks No.2 in the nation in the production of sorghum. Peanuts and sugar cane are other valuable crops, along with onions, potatoes, watermelons and grapefruit. Texas farmers lead the nation in the production of cabbage.

Texas has another brand of famrer as well: Texas' fishing industry thrives. The state is among the nation's leaders in its annual shrimp catch, and both commercial and sport fishing are major industries. In addition, there is a growing commercial catfish-farming industry.

Clearly, Texas features an economy which would enable an independent republic to thrive.

One last note...Texas is a right to work state.

Texas has realized 70% of all new U.S. Job Growth since 2008. Texas also has the greatest proportion of the country's 500 largest companies headquartered there (65, compared with 56 in New York and 51 in California).

It really is pissing us Texans off that you leftist are flocking to Texas from democratic states because of our strong job market and yet you still vote like you did in the crappy blue state you just came from haven’t you learned yet?

"I'll do it. I swear I'll do it"

The only bigger cocktease in american politics was Palin's posturing that she would run for POTUS and deep down inside both her and Texas know it was never going to happen. At least she had the balls to come out and say it.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Texas Secede!

Sapping Texans' wealth into a myriad of bureaucratic, socialist schemes both in the U.S. and abroad, the bipartisan despots in Washington persist in expanding the federal debt and budget deficits every year.

Texans would indeed gain much by reclaiming control of their State, their property, their liberty, and their very lives, by refusing to participate further in the fraud perpetrated by the Washington politicians and bureaucrats.

By restoring Texas to an independent republic, Texans would truly reclaim a treasure for themselves and their progeny.

Texas Secede!

This from me...a former Texan, with family still in Texas...

Well, regardless of how Rick Perry feels, and the fact that we fought a war back in the 1800's that kind of settled the issue, and the fact that a 5-3 Supreme Court decision kind of settled the issue, well, you get the point.

AAS: Between the Texas Constitution, the U.S. Constitution and the Joint Resolution Annexing Texas to the United States of 1845, there is no explicit right for the state to return to its days as a Republic, said Sanford Levinson, a professor at the School of Law at University of Texas-Austin.

"We actually fought a war over this issue, and there is no possibility whatsoever that the United States or any court would recognize a "right" to secede," Levinson wrote in an e-mail.

Yes, Texas could be drawn and quartered to become 5 total states within the Union. But Texas as a state, nor any of those subdivided states may secede from the Union.

Oh you. Stop it with your "facts". Your just going to confuse the poor little rich man.

 

[Hello Kitty]

the FACTS are this...

There is no law forbidding or allowing secession. If Texas or any other state decides to secede, the resulting peaceful separation or war will depend not on law, but on the will of whomever happens to be Commander-in-Chief at the time.

Can Texas secede if it desires to YES what is the reality and legality of Texas seceding slim to none.

Remember Texas left Mexico because they were not satisfied with their treatment and the value for value exchange. Seems history is repeating itself today with Washington D.C.

 

[Pesqueeb]

No, we haven't forgotten. You all have such fragile ego's that it seems necessary for you to remind everyone at any given opportunity how "independent" and "tough" you are. And for someone who claims to be so interested in FACTS, how is it that your Job growth number is off by 30%?

The Perry campaign is giving the startling statistic that since June 2009, 40% of the net new jobs created in America have been in Texas—a state with less than 10% of the nation's people.http://www.economist.com/node/21526209

Texas sure seems like Randian third world utopia to me, where do I sign up?

Consider the Texas that Perry holds up to the rest of the nation for admiration. It has the fourth-highest poverty rate of any state. It tied with Mississippi last year for the highest percentage of workers in minimum-wage jobs. It ranks first in adults without high school diplomas. Twenty-six percent of Texans have no health insurance — the highest percentage of medically uninsured residents of any state. It leads the nation in the percentage of children who lack medical insurance. Texas has an inordinate number of employers who provide no insurance to their workers, partly because insurance rates are high, thanks to an absence of regulations.

Perry seems quite comfortable with the state’s lagging performance in what we might term the pursuit-of-happiness index. Consider his indifference toward education: In 2008, the state comptroller found that 12 percent of Texans lacked high school diplomas and that the level would rise to 30 percent by 2040 unless the state’s commitment to education was considerably increased. This year, though, when confronted with a $27 billion budget deficit, Perry did not raise taxes but instead slashed $4 billion from K-12 schools.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-sad-facts-behind-rick-perrys-texas-miracle/2011/08/16/gIQAxc3zJJ_story.html

I mean, Jeebus, even The Economist questions whether or not what Perry has done to Texas has been worth the social costs. Since your obviously not much of a reader I'll point out that The Economist isn't really known for its harboring of Left Wing militants and socialists.

Now, clearly, the virtues of this approach are debatable. It may be that cutting taxes and regulations and services is a good way to attract business but a bad thing to do, on balance, because it leaves you less money for health care and education and infrastructure—areas where Texas lags the nation as a whole, and indeed, if nothing else, areas where the state must do better if it is going to have a worthwhile economy in the future. And I certainly don't mean to endorse Mr Perry's approach; personally, I have a lot of problems with it, although I do think the unemployment rate is a key measure of social welfare. But if we're talking strictly about job creation, Mr Perry has a good pitch. He deserves partial credit for Texas's job growth, just as he deserves partial blame for the state's stagnation on other metrics.
http://www.economist.com/node/21526209

As for "liberals" moving to Texas, it only seems fair considering how many mouth breathing retards y'all sent to California, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico in the late 70's and early 80's, not to mention the one you sent to DC in 2001.

 

[Hello Kitty]

My advice to anti-Perry advocates is this: Give up talking about Texas jobs. Texas is an incredible outlier among the states when it comes to jobs. Not only are they creating them, they're creating ones with higher wages.

FACT and PROOF

http://www.bizjournals.com/bizjournals/on-numbers/scott-thomas/2011/05/texas-adds-732800-jobs-in-10-years.html

Texas adds 732,800 jobs in 10 years; no other state tops 100,000

Texas has enjoyed an unequaled economic boom the past 10 years.

The inventory of private-sector jobs in Texas increased by 732,800 between April 2001 and the same month this year, according to an On Numbers analysis of new federal employment data.

No other state registered an increase of more than 100,000 private-sector jobs during the decade. Only 19 states and the District of Columbia posted any gains at all.

See the bottom of this story for a state-by-state breakdown of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Texas avoided the real-estate bust that decimated the economies of several large Sunbelt states, including California and Florida, during the 2008-2010 recession. It consequently was positioned for a faster takeoff once the national economy began improving, allowing it to create 251,700 new jobs in the past year alone.

And almost 600,000 of those jobs went to aliens, both legal and illegal.

The non-partisan group found that newly-arrived immigrants claimed 81% of state job growth from 2007 to 2011. What's worse, half of those immigrants were illegal -- representing 40% of state growth.

Next talking point you need debunked?

 

[Hello Kitty]

Rick Perry is S O F T on illegal immigration here in Texas I like how you just assumed I was a Rick Perry fan.

I'll head you off at the pass with this one so can't do another "gotcha" from the beginning of the recession (December 2007) the Texas public sector has grown 3.8%, or a little under 70,000 employees. This is faster than normal employment.

Yes (gasp) We are creating more "public sector" jobs too. So other than illegal’s taking the jobs that Americans won’t do and huge public sector growth gubment jobs I guess that’s how Texas somehow just lucked into having the strongest economy in the nation again…

It's all thanks to those Illegals and bureaucrats a democratic wet dream voting block for sure.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Actually, it did. Unless you happen to think its good old fashioned conservative values that placed all that oil in the ground.
http://dallasfed.org/research/swe/2011/swe1101g.cfm

From your own article:

The Lone Star State is home to 64 Fortune 500 companies, more than any other state, in a wide variety of industries. So while the state’s last win in 2008 came with oil at a record $145 a barrel—a natural tailwind for the largest industry in Texas—the state managed to do even better this year despite the fact that oil is trading at roughly half that price.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Hell you looking for job?

KBR and Halliburton and other companies are hiring like mad down here in Texas. The Eagle Ford shale in south central Texas is going like gang busters and the Bossier shale frac opperations are off the hook!

Yeah Rick Perry didn't put the oil and gas under the ground however Texas government isn't blocking the companies form getting it outta the ground with ridiculous regulations.

Surprise Surprise

Washington Post Staff Writer Who Wrote Rick Perry Attack Piece Has Criminal Past

Posted by mikerobinsonpc (Profile)

Wednesday, October 5th at 12:56PM EDT

On October 1, 2011, the Washington Post’s Stephanie McCrummen authored a story for publication in the Post concerning Texas Governor Perry’s lease of a hunting spot with an offensive name. Although a careful read of the story shows that there is no substantiation for the allegations of racism, Ms. McCrummen, the Post, and MSNBC have held a non-stop witch hunt, accusing Mr. Perry of everything under the sun. So, let’s examine the author using the same journalistic standards practiced by the Washington Post.

Ms. McCrummen has a rather interesting criminal history herself, as public criminal records in multiple states stretching across 4 time zones have shown.

Ms. McCrummen’s criminal history began with North Carolina Case # 1992 CR 00654, a violation of the Article 19 – False Pretenses and Cheats section of the North Carolina Criminal Code. Ms. McCrummen was convicted of a crime punishable by up to six months of imprisonment for writing a hot check that was deemed worthless.

In 2005, the apparently unrepentant Ms. McCrummen was again found guilty in the 2005 Virginia Case #059GT0504714900 for failing to obey a highway sign.

The following year, McCrummen was found guilty in yet another Virginia criminal case, #153GT0604021200, speeding 46 miles an hour in a 25 mile speed zone.

Last year, in August, 2010, Ms. McCrummen was found guilty in Arizona Case # M-07510TR-2010025209 of speeding once again. She plead guilty but failed to pay the fine imposed by the court and returned to Washington having skipped out on paying her fine to the criminal court. A collection review was held in September, after she had escaped Arizona’s jurisdiction to D.C., and her case was assigned to the Fines/Fees and Restitution Enforcement (FARE) Program established to collect delinquent court ordered restitution, fines, fees, and surcharges . After the FARE team tracked her down at her Washington D.C. apartment, they finally appeared to get her attention and on October 23, 2010 she paid the defaulted fine to the criminal court, almost two months after her conviction. McCrummen has now found herself a four-time loser in the states’ criminal courts. She currently resides outside of the jurisdiction of the three states where she committed her crimes.

As you can see from this simple outline of Ms. Stephanie McCrummen’s past, under the Post’s journalistic standards, it is pretty easy to throw mud on someone even if they didn’t do anything truly wrong. Over the years, the journalistic standards of the Washington Post have fallen into a death spiral of innuendo and name calling, as seen in McCrummen’s ni**erhead story. They can create guilt out of thin air as we have in the public records concerning the Post Staff Writer in question. The Post should quit its despicable methodology of reporting the news. For now, Ms. McCrummen and the Post owe Governor Perry an apology.
