Those in total control of Texas Red and the nation that would be “the real money” are always manipulating the general population. Tools may vary from the apartheid public education system to the prison-industrial complex and even the “give aways.” Give aways are those commodities the ultra elite a/k/a the oligarchs will part with to keep the rabble from revolting. That would be just enough to keep them sated.Those in total control of Texas Red and the nation that would be “the real... more

When exactly we went from a republic to a “democracy” and then an empire is debatable. That we were not stood up as a democracy is a given and substantiated by a great many organic instruments, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Federalist Papers.
In far too many ways this transition found its way into our day-to-day life. It has mutated our principle-based culture to one based more on character. And we have more than a few characters and not in a benign way.When exactly we went from a republic to a “democracy” and then an empire... more

Well there you go two months into Texas Red’s legislative session and all we’re heard is whining from the GOPer lapdogs out to protect the poor, helpless top1% of the population a/k/a their masters and of course also the majority population of Texas Red compassionate conservative Christians of all stripes.
Oh yeah, we’ve also learned there’s a lot of slash and burn of those gosh awful entitlements to the poor, disabled and defenseless. What is the ruling elite to do? A totalitarian state has“American and compassionate conservative Christian values” to uphold!Well there you go two months into Texas Red’s legislative session and all... more

So seriously is there any practical net effect difference between political conditions in any Middle Eastern country and tyrannically GOPer-controlled Texas Red? I could be wrong--- but I don’t think so.
But Bobby you say, we have freedom here. Really? Perhaps if you are a GOPer you have the false sense of freedom. Because you are among those just like you---compassionate conservative Christians---the world seems right. For you it may be but you really have few, if any, freedoms.So seriously is there any practical net effect difference between political conditions... more

That things in Texas Red aren’t any more oppressive than they are is pretty amazing. It’s also incredible how deplorable conditions are spun into something desireable and enviable. They’re not.
It is no surprise the 2010 general election turned Texas Red the redder. The general election of November 2010 was the prime example of the intersection of elections and public policy and how one feeds the other but no one else.That things in Texas Red aren’t any more oppressive than they are is pretty... more

It is just amazing to me how outraged, worked-up, I mean just pissed-off Americans and their “elected” representatives can get when they are lead to perceive there is injustice anywhere in the world---okay except in Palestinian areas and Darfur and oh yeah the United States.
“But Bobby”, you’re saying this is America ‘land of the free, home of the brave’blah, blah, blah….
While that may be true there are a whole passel of the“tired, …poor, …huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, you know like it says on the Statue of Liberty who would likely take exception.
