Entering The Great State of Texas From The North

Yes, by all means a SEC member would be safe in Tobacco Road and the ACC hicks.  :-*

I?ll have take the Gator decals off the vehicles. But I don?t have a large enough bandaid to cover the big Gator tattoo on my forehead. Oh, why did they have to restrict travel to Canada? They don?t know me up there.

Don't forget to take the sweater off your gator icon.

Oh yeah. We spent four months at Kings Bay Navy Submarine Base in Georgia. We stayed on base in lodging. When we were leaving I pulled our 5th wheel into a local CG and the owner said ? aren?t you afraid your gonna get dog bit around here??  Took me a minute to realize he was referring to the Gator stickers on my truck.

At Least we can all agree the Love for Texas is Bubbling Over at this point. 

I will just sit with my Glock 20 Gen 4 in case we get overrun, wink. 

Only Joking.. if you are a invited guest in our house.

Go Cowboys on 3...1.2....

This is the Internet version of "Pulling your leg".

News Flash. Nobody Gets Out of Here Alive.  Hunker Down and when it is Clear... Get out there and be a willing Participant, in the Game of Life.
Kind of like the friendly rivalry between Ford versus Chevy.

I see it as an attempt to get our mind off the current situation the country is in.

Life is a puzzle.

Darn phone...

Oh goodness; lighten up already. Everyone needs a good smile these days.  ;D
Everyone is always welcome in Texas, just bring money!

Is my ISIS hunting permit valid in Texas? If so I may be headed your way with credit card in hand.

There are only three kinds of folks in this entire world:
1) Texans
2) Those that wish and dream that they were Texans
3) Those refused the status of Texan and then act like they don't want to be Texans

How?s that secession coming along. The other 48 are anxiously awaiting your departure from our union. 8)

Lets be honest. "If" Texas did break away, the rest of the nation would starve for oil, fuel, plastics, technology, and a politically correct minded off-set to a growing insane liberal socialist population. In fact, Texas has retained the right to secede to this day and rightfully so. Texas is the only state in the nation that may fly our state flag at the same height as the stars and stripes showing the respect that this state deserves.

In fact, Texas has retained the right to secede to this day and rightfully so. Texas is the only state in the nation that may fly our state flag at the same height as the stars and stripes showing the strength and respect that this state deserves.

Several untruths to unpack here especially concerning your flag. Texas does not enjoy any dispensation when it comes to the US flag code. The Texas flag cannot be flown at the same height as the US flag. As far as oil, plastics and technology, Texas would have to sell it to someone. And if the US didn?t get those things from Texas we would just get them elsewhere. The downsides to Texas seceding from the union would far outweigh anything Texas has to offer. Too many to list here. But don?t let that detour your state from bringing the secession to fruition.

Here's some honesty 

                          California          Texas
Health care          #7                    #37
Education            #21                  #34
Economy              #4                    #15
Opportunity        #42                    #39
Fiscal Stability      #42                    #12
Median Income    $35,046            $29,525
GDP                    2.797 Trillion      1.645 trillion
Population            39.5 million        28.3 million 
GDP per capita      $70,810            $58,127

It would appear the socialist liberal state is doing a tad better than the great state of TX.   

Here's another.  Balance of payments    California  -$13.7 Billion  -$348 per capita   
                                                          Texas  $36.2 Billion  $1280 per capita
Looks like Texas get's more from the Feds than they pay in. 

Looks to me like the liberal socialistic state is helping to finance the great state of TX.

No doubt that these facts are what is leading to the mass exotics and overwhelming homeless problems... Love the income statistic, lets talk about the cost of living and/or the cost of doing business.. We won't mention the fact that the state and local governments are bankrupt!

NOT true sir, do your research on this!!
Texas has its own flag code, which states that if the flags are on separate flagpoles, "the flags should be displayed on flagpoles or flagstaffs of the same height; the flags should be of approximately equal size; the flag of the United States should be, from the perspective of an observer, to the left of the state flag."
