A bunch of liberal pansies can take over even in a conservative state. It's scary what is happening so close to home.

You can barely consider Travis County to be part of Texas, lol.

Liberal Mecca of the lone star state right there.

I wish I could say it would be a cold day in hell before something like this could happen in Tulsa County with confidence instead of it being more along the lines wishful thinking.

Travis County is blue, as are a number of other counties in Texas.

Texas is acquiring a number of residents from out of state who are there for the tech jobs, and want Texas to look more like Colorado and California.

Then perhaps they should get tech jobs in Colorado and California? Oh...yeah...I guess they were "attracted" to the lower taxes and lower cost of living in Texas, not recognizing that those are a result of NOT having to pay for liberal government programs and initiatives.

Just proves that because you're educated and tech-savvy, doesn't necessarily mean you're not stupid.

You're trying to use logic again.

..and they really like the "Wild West" feel of Texas...they just need to make some adjustment to their laws and politics.

I guaranteee you that a large number of counties in Texas would like to be annexed by Oklahoma, and represented by OKC instead of Austin.

That's what I was thinking. The more "progressive" or "liberal" a place becomes, the less tolerant it becomes of anyone or anything that doesn't fit its agenda.

Ah - bingo.

If you use a public facility to sell guns, we really oughta have background checks done. Or don’t use the facility,” County Judge Sam Biscoe, the chairman of the commissioners, told reporters.

... a judge with political ambitions putting his personal opinion ahead of the law. That should move him up on the Obummer judicial appointments list. Now, what was that other thread about judges overriding the will of the people?
