The DU Lounge
In reply to the discussion: Hi everyone. [View all]TexasProgresive
(12,165 posts)I would like to encourage you to stay with DU. Some tend to lash out against us Texans because of the fool foisted upon the country by KKKarl Rove. Everyone seems to forget the great Texans that led the nation well some as politicians others as great communicators and some as both. Here's a short list: the LBJs (Lyndon, Lady Bird, Lynda Bird and Luci), Sheila Jackson Lee, John Henry Faulk, Bill Moyers, Kika de la Garza, Ann Richards, Barbara Jordan, Jim Hightower and Sissy Farenthold, like Bill Moyers, Molly Ivins might not be born in Texas are the very epitome of the Texas spirit.
I am proud to be a Texan. I am not so proud of those I know that have let hatred rule their hearts and are yet Texans. I was taught that the very name of our state means friend. It is sad that many have forgotten to live that legacy. And yes Christian Texans can and are liberal and progressive.
Thank you for your family and your lifelong work to serve.
