Got room one more? I'll bring my own guns and ammo and be proud to take a position on the northern border.....lol. We know we will be safe because a President sKerry would never wage war.

And all the steers were moved to Kansas City.

I am originally from Texas and both sides of my parents family are still there so, I suppose I could move back. Must admit, I prefer this area of the world much more. The only thing that concerns me about this post is militarily, how will we protect ourselves from the massive troops Kerry will assemble. You know, the U.N. and the French. You know it's not like you Texans can rely on the likes of Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, etc. Oh well, REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

lamont, I'm not from Texas but I like the concept. As far as the UN, no worries, they cant make up their mind so no action. The French would surerender at the first shot....LOL

Born and raised.

Had the displeasure of having to deal with a bunch of Texas ranchtards over the years.

No way around it though. You can't legally take their money without having to interact with them at some level :)
