[bbbass]

Only if you’ll not be like the people who invaded Austin...I mean little California

Whom???

 

[satx78247]

Whom???

bbbass,

FYI, a lot of us wild/rebellious Texicans call Austin "Little Moscow". - Actually, in some ways Austin is politically to the LEFT of Moscow.

I find that rather odd, or funny, but we lived in and around Austin for many years, in fact my younger brother was born in Austin, and not once over the years have I ever heard anyone refer to Austin as "Little Moscow". I wonder why?

Axxe55,

I don't know that answer, as that "nickname" was commonplace among PATRIOTS when I lived there.

I sometimes think of Austin as PEKING, East.
(Otoh, I would bet that PEKING never had a MALE candidate for MAYOR, who campaigned in a ballet TUTU.)

note: In 1987 I was a participant in what was then the WORLD'S LARGEST TUG OF WAR across TOWN LAKE. = NORTH vs SOUTH Austin.
(We "Southies" won 2 of 3, BTW.)
My "contribution" to the SOUTH AUSTIN camp was 5 GALLONS OF "white likker" that I imported from Morris County for the event. = EVERYBODY "on the rope" ENJOYED a "big 'ole gulp".

Well, my family were only 4th generation Texans and not 8th generation like you and your family, so that must explain it I guess. Probably not as patriotic as you and your family either.

I don't guess that it makes much difference how long a person has been IN Texas, as my MUCH LOVED/ADOPTED adult daughter (NOEMI) is a MAYA Indian from Acapulco/Mexico City & "came to our family" as a teenager, = She thinks of herself as a true TEXAS WOMAN & BLEEDS BURNT ORANGE, just as I do.

NOTE: My lady reminded me late last night of a Texas public law that I once knew about but had forgotten.
(The Texas government has done some "truly peculiar" things over the years.)
PERHAPS one need NEVER even cross our borders to LAWFULLY CLAIM to BE Texican, as a law from the 1880s states that "Texas residency" is defined as , "DECLARING INTENT TO RESIDE IN TEXAS" & "at some future date"..
(YES, "Texican" is the legal spelling, by act of The Congress from 1837 of the RoT.)

To All,

As I used to write a weekly humor column for a local newspaper called, "OF DAYS GONE BY", I still get "tidbits" of Victoriana & Texana from former readers from time to time.

The following were recently mailed to me:

1. An 1883 Dallas City Ordinance made it, "- - - unlawful & punishable at law to throw garbage, vegetables, rocks or other objects at Chinamen riding streetcars".
(Is it legal to throw things at anyone except Chinese people in Dallas??)

2. Houston once had a city ordinance that made it illegal for a "- - - - husband to kiss his wife on Sunday, in such a lascivious manner as to offend the public decency",
(Is it OK therefore to kiss someone else's wife in such a way as "to offend the public decency"? = Here in Texas, that just might get you slapped "cross-eyed" OR shot by a jealous husband)
AND
3. According to a letter from GEN Sam Houston's first wife to her Aunt Lavinia, "I have refused to engage in certain practices that my husband wants me to engage in that no decent woman would consider, even within the bonds of Holy Matrimony".
(One wonders what 'Ole Sam wanted to do in the bedroom?? = His first wife DID divorce him over his sexual preferences & his excessive drinking.)

satx,

I am much aware of the proclivities of the Austin area in general. God knows why a buddy of mine that just escaped the leftists of Guerneville Calif wants to move there, maybe because nostalgia of his long lost Austin lover from his early adulthood. This buddy loves blond Texican girls.

But my question was to whom was Indisputabull referring when he said not to be like people that invaded Austin.

BTW, AFAIK Austin was like that long before the Californians invaded. That might be why it was attractive to them.

Regards,

bb

Well thank God it ain't going to happen. Someone like you would probably throw myself and many of my family members out of Texas because we were not born here if you were on some stupid Texas citizenship board!

I'm glad that you think of yourself "qualified" to make such determinations and decisions about people's lives. I sure really thought you'd be the leading general of the Texican Military Forces!

There are MANY of us who moved here for the FREEDOM, if you want to throw me out, catch every bullet I own FIRST! You are an ASSHOLE!

Bush did that as President. He claimed that he would move to TX.
Maybe we can get residents of the blue States to claim that in numbers large enough to defund them enough so they collapse under the weight of their own taxation.

Went thru ABQ in about 20 min sunday night. I'll see if I get thru faster on my way back. Had to stay there 2 times in my life. Almost the worst city I've been in

It has been several years, but the last time I went through there some criminal had shot down the police helicopter.

To All,

Some 25 years ago there was some HALF-serious talk about splitting TX up into FIVE STATES, to get a net increase of 8 US Senators, who would vote PRO-American: NORTH (Capitol in Bonham), SOUTH, (Capitol in Rockport), CENTRAL (Capitol in West), EAST (Capitol in Lufkin) & WEST (Capitol in Ranger).

Ownership of Gonzales, Goliad, San Jacinto & The Alamo was to be shared by ALL of the 5 States.
(All of the talk, of course, came to ZILCH.)

yours, satx

So out here in west Texas our capital is in central Texas?

 

[Vaquero]

So out here in west Texas our capital is in central Texas?

Yeah.
I don't think so.

 

[Coop45]

Yeah.
I don't think so.

I think these dudes have been living on I-35 too long.

 

[Vaquero]

I'd go along with Gail, or Tarzan.
Nice place for a capital. Probably keep the swamp drained.

candcallen,

i once spent a single night in Salt Lake City. - Shortly after Sundown, it closed.

yours, sw

It's still like that.

From a realistic standpoint, what would it take for Texas to secede the Union? What are the obstacles? What are the logistics? What are the long term problems we would face as a state? Would other states, or even other countries take us seriously if it happened? Would they trade, or deal with us? What problems would residents face if they needed to travel outside of Texas? What about politicians getting on board and supporting this? What about people that wanted to move to Texas?

Personally, I do like the sound of it. I have heard this for many, many years, and it sounds good in theory, but I have many doubts of it actually working in reality. I see many more complications and problems, and many downsides than upsides.

For all its drawbacks, if the US truly turns socialist, I will be willing to face the temporary hardships and work through the complications and problems.

Agreed; should be easier to get a large group on board especially compared to the alternative...the boogaloo.

The sad part is I would live in a state called "El Norte".. no thanks.
