Texas is NOT the South, no matter the color on the map!

Today's angry rant is against people who badmouth Texas, incorrectly calling it a 'southern' state. Yes, we are south of the rest of the country. Yes, these days it is heavily Repub, but so was every other state at some point or the other. Texas, however, is not like anywhere you have ever been, it is its own country in a lot of aspects.

 You claim Texas is 'all redneck'. Really? Seriously? Then you have NEVER been here. And there are 'rednecks' in YOUR state as well, I have met several in California, as well as other places. You obviously know NOTHING about our state's history, and that includes many of the people who were born here.

 Texas is the ONLY state that could be its own country. We have TWO deep water ports. We have some of the best medical facilities in the country, and many of the top specialists. We have enough space and agriculture to feed the entire country. There is enough oil and gas under Texas to run the ENTIRE COUNTRY for 50 + years. We have Silicon Hills, Dell, IBM, AMD and much of the computer gaming industry. Oh yea, let's not forget NASA. And colleges that are FULL of people from out of state. Hhhmmm, I wonder why, if this is such a backwards ignorant place.

 Texas is a rich and successful state, which is why the whining titty babies in other places are burning up the freeways to get here. Why else are all those out of state plates on the road? Oh, right, they can't be, because NO ONE wants to move to Texas. (Yea right.)

 The people in Texas are multicultural, and proud of it. We don't run and hide from problems, we face them head on, and deal with them. If we don't have something, chances are someone here will invent it.

 Are there places here I don't want to live? Of course, but then I wouldn't want to live in the equivalent in your state. So shut the fuck up, go back to your ignorant little life and stay the HELL out of MY state. We don't want nor need your skank ass here.
