HARD TEXANS

Texans, Real Texans are a good bunch of people. They are hard, strong willed, and usually keep their emotions to themselves. With the influx of other cultures and northerners we find a lot of the hardness has been bred out or at least thinned out a lot. And as a result we are living our lives more and more according to how we feel. We don't feel something is important so we don't do it. We feel like this thing is more important than that, so we do what we feel . We do not look at what needs to be done, instead we focus on what we feel like doing. We are too busy with our everyday lives to pay attention to what's going on in our state as far as legislation goes. We can't be bothered with keeping an eye on the federal government. Well they are keeping an eye on you. The Washington crowd sees us as a source of income, a flock to be herd in which ever direction they choose and to be ignored at every opportunity. The politicians come here wanting us to hand them power in the form of what ever office they are running for and say what they need to to get us in their camp. All along knowing we want to feel they are the best choice, and also counting on the fact that we won't feel like doing our due diligence in checking them out or verifying what they tell us is fact. So you get the disaster that we have now going on in the upper levels of our presidency. 
Texas cannot afford to be complacent. We have too much at stake. We have a huge state that must be guarded from the effects of our own inherit generosity. We must be aware when some one wants to come here and change the laws or customs because that is the way it was done where they came from. We must be aware when someone comes here trying do divide us into categories, for that is just another form of divide and conquer. When we stand together on a thing, as a state, as a Texan, there is nothing that can overcome us. As long as we are united no one will want to try. And those that would test our resolve in matters would soon wish they had not!
