[The Rolling Stones] Lone Star Crazy

Lone Star Crazy is a great song, but I prefer Tumbling Dice personally.

 

Texan voters don't read books, boy.

 

Texans don't read the Rolling Stone, son.

Can't you already see Gohmert holding up a copy at the VFW hall saying "these ga'll dern hippies don't like the way we do politics down here in Texas"

 

At some point you have to accept and address that the part of the country's views are shifting; particularly as primary and general election victories begin to stack up you can't keep stigmatizing communal majorities as crazy without analyzing the contemporary issues or circumstances behind the particular ideologies.

 

Because a substantial amount of people begin believing things that are demonstrably untrue doesn't make them any less crazy.

There are many reasons for why extremism, particularly on the right, ahs become prevalent, and they are exposited on quite a bit. But when it comes to some of the true believer wingers, you just have to work around them.

If somebody believes Obama is a communist Kenyan muslim and that global warming is a giant conspiracy, then they can't be reasoned with - further, attempts to explain to them htat they are wrong generally don't work, they just solidify them in their wrongness. eventually you just have to work around them.

 

Granted, there are plenty of crazies on the left. They just don't hold Congress hostage and use the crises as pulpit to spread their baselessly insane agenda. Nor are they getting nominated by their party in droves.

 

Actually not as prevalent as they used to be - communism lost. Even those that are left leaning draw clear distinctions between wanting a safety net and wanting no private property. On the other side you have those on the right who don't know what they want - anarchy without saying it.

 

Hayes, just as happy with Bush's Iraq invasion as in past years?

 

Texas is kicking ass, everyone wants to come and work here, why would we change anything?

 

Because there is a new Saudi Arabia in Central and West Texas. 40,000 wells 500 pipelines , 10 billion in new chemical plants, we got lucky with geology and we think we are master race.

Even morons couldn't screw this up.

Please lord give me another oil boom, I promise I won't waste it this time.

 

We should maybe think about using some of our riches to shore up the State's infrastructure, education, healthcare, etc....

When the Legislature passed the $2bllion draw from the "rainy day fund" to help address water-related infrastructure issues in Texas, since we're in a historic drought and all, the Tea Party of Texas was absolutely against it.

They don't care about people, they care about politics; whatever can keep them angry enough.

 

We screw it up all the time. It just makes so much money even the screw-ups seem like successes.

 

The same reason the Permanent Fund spends interest instead of principal, and every boom town in West Texas has trailers instead of ranch houses and no long-term retail development, because prices change and million-dollar-a-mile pipeline projects get written off every day.

 

I thought this would have been about some sort of political statement like that The Rolling Stones were boycotting playing shows in TX.

 

All their TX shows are exclusively on CSN.

 

Republicans need to be smart and not let the Democrats come in and raise taxes like idiots.

 

The Texas GOP blocking healthcare to the poor is damnable enough.
