The scary thing is Texas has enough resources to survive on its own when the shit hits the fan. Just imagine, The Independent Republic of Young Earth Creationist Texas.

Think of it. We'd all have to make our own decisions as to what to do with our earnings and we'd likely have to pay as we go instead of piling up the debt on our grand kids.
Why didn't you say these words when Pres. Bush made the biggest increase of government in decades as well as plunging the country into the biggest debt in history?
Since Obama took office, tax hasn't increased by a dime. And here you people are complaining about Obama taxation. So, are you a liar or are you a christian liar?

What we got wouldn't get a passport as I understand it. Correct me with the evidence if mistaken, Doc.
(1) The State of Hawaii used its integrity as a state to vouch for Obama.
(2) The issue has been investigated by the most hard-core republicans and journalists in this country. They've all came to the same conclusion.
(3) They've interviewed witnesses who are not related to Obama verifying his birth in Hawaii.
So, what's the problem again?

first of all, to be president, the person must be more than a citizen. he must be a naturla born citizen.
do you even know what that means, you idiot? it means, born on american, to two parents, both of whom
are citizens at the time, without being citizens to another country.
even if he was born in hawaii, that does not make him a natural born american.
would this be good enough for a law suit. the governor confirms he was born in hawaii.
she does not even say they have a birth certificate. where are the documents.
dummy
Hahaha, it's scary to know these people vote.

We all know he's going to ignore all these evidence, run away, and then come back and blurt out the same shit couple months from now.

They are white with American names...
Flash back to 1973 (not really, I'm not that old, but it really feels like it's been this long since I was in college). I was taking a sociology class to fulfill my core classes. One day, the topic of the discussion for the week was the word "American" and how it applies to everyday people.
Normally, in such a situation I usually kept my mouth shut. Being as white as white could get and growing up in a whiter than white community attending a predominantly black and latino class, I thought I'd pay attention to what other people had to say about the topic.
I've forgotten most of the conversations that took place. There was one that stood out that I still remember clearly to this day. It was a debate between a son of a Mexican immigrant and a German blond. When the professor asked the Mexican American guy if he thought he was American, he said yes and began to give his reasons why including the fact that he was born here. Then the blond interrupted and said "no, you're not American, you're Mexican." She then went ahead and asked him why he was denying his cultural heritage. He asked her why he wasn't American and she said (and I swear, she actually said this, word for word), "you're not white".
All hell broke loose in the class after that.
The point is I knew this girl. I wouldn't consider her intentionally racist, but I thought she was innocently racist. What do I mean by innocently racist? It describes those who show all the symptoms of racism but do not think they are racist. This girl honestly believed that American referred to white people.
My point is isn't this the attitude of a lot of people out there?
I truly think these people honestly don't think themselves as racist. And yet they show all the symptoms of racism. Buzsaw seems to belong to this group.

My life experiences have taught me a very important lesson about this topic. Modern day racists often advertise the fact that they have black friends or support this black candidate or that black candidate. Just like modern day homophobes tend to start their sentences with "I have gay friends..."
We identify these bigots by looking at the contents of their character and the beliefs they hold. It's like placing pieces of the puzzle together. But why do we need to put the pieces of the puzzle together at all, you may ask? Because bigotry has fallen out of fashion in this day and age, and therefore the bigots will not willingly identify themselves as bigots or make it easy for the rest of us to tell.
The most obvious example is the late President Bush. Of course he denies religious bigotry on his part. Of course he advocates some kind of civil union for gay people. In this day and age, it is fashionable for a person to officially say these things. But when he was governor of Texas, he openly supported the criminalization of homosexuality. In other words, he supported the jailing of people for this biblical crime.
If it quacks like a duck...
