Yes, it was in response. Sorry, I assumed you had the mental dexterity to make the connection. I'll be sure to write future responses to your posts in crayon.

No need. Since you missed the point of the quoted post by such a large margin, liberal faces everywhere will be less concerned with your targeting skills.

You are confused. And no, I haven't seen your baseball.

Those were my favorite episodes of Walker.

This country will/would survive any person as president. Lets not forget that whole checks and balances thing. Worried about the debt? Write your congress persons since they are the ones that set the budget.

And should it actually happen, I expect the President's response to be

"No. Thank you for using the automated White House Petition System".

Oh yeah...forgot to mention this.

Want to guess as to which state has logged the most disasters and received the most federal disaster aid since FEMA was founded (in 1978)?

The President is one thing....I think the Lord himself might be trying to convince Texas not to secede.

So, it is a God vs Darwin thing.

Mental flexibility, some members here would do well to investigate this concept.

I can listen to someone with an opposing viewpoint without losing sight of the fact that they're also a human being. Some of you do not seem to possess this ability.

For clarity's sake, the above part is not directed at you SteveM.

"My country is no longer the country it should be. It is on a path to total destruction, and my convictions do not allow me to say nothing and by saying nothing, agree...."

" I'm VERY proud to be an American. But this is no longer my America... My America is free from the slaughter of innocents, is free from socialism and Communism, and is led by a President who has the balls to stand up and call an act of terrorism an act of terrorism. My list could get SO much longer, but since I'm at work paying for some of the above innocent slaughter with my taxes, I must go...."

"Remember Reagan saying, "I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me." That's how I'm feeling about the USA. If we don't have a Constitutional Republic, it's not the USA I want to stand up for."

Anyone who thinks President Obama is a Socialist, or even has Socialist tendencies needs to study history and/or Socialism. It's fine if you vehemently disagree with his policies, but mislabeling him as a Socialist only makes that person sound ignorant.

I disagree with many of his policies, but that doesn't mean I'll completely lose my ability to identify his stance along the political spectrum. He's not even an extreme liberal, although I'm sure one could make a case that he's not a complete moderate liberal either.

I hated President Bush. I thought there was no way the people of Texas would elect a governor who was the lazy son of a Washington insider well known for two things. His bad business decisions (Texas Rangers), and ~~his preference for cocaine~~ him being a draft dodger.

When he became governor of Texas I couldn't believe it. Here was a man who had done virtually nothing with his life besides take advantage of his daddy's wealth and position, and he was elected governor?

Then he ran for President. Once again, I thought to myself, there's no way he'll ever win the Presidency. Surprise! He did, not once, but twice.

I was firmly convinced he would drive this country down the tubes, and he did. However, never did I entertain the thought of secession.

I know that it would be very difficult for one man to wreck a country in four, or even eight years. So I waited for his terms to end.

I know some of you will automatically label me as a liberal because of this post. Guess what? I'm not, nor did I vote for President Obama.

If you have a hard time understanding this, you lack mental flexibility.
