texas is liberal in the cities and some of the suburbs but is way right-wing tea party nutcase woohoo in the country. My congresscretin represents British Petroleum, Exxon, Shell and all the oil companies, not people.

"Would you like to come to my church?" is what I hear all the time.

However, these people are NOT interested in my religious views because I'm not a right wing Protestant. It's frightening how narrow minded they are. They know nothing about other philosophies and don't want to know anything. Their ignorant preacher has told them that everything outside their particular little church is EEEVVIIILLLLLL and they are afraid.

Some of them have big crosses on their lawns. YUCK!


And a lot of them put out little crosses in their yards which are blank. This is during Lent. Then on easter they take the paper off and it says "He is risen!"

My answer to that was a poster I painted with Tinkerbell on it that said "She is risen!" It didn't stay on my fence long enough for us to get firebombed. Seriously.
