The Texas Legislature is now done. In the session and following special session, we saw the true colours of many elected officials. On reading reports of how the Speaker of the House watered down the TSA legislation and was involved in parliamentarian shenanigans, it is no wonder it did not pass. We also saw how the Lt. Governor showed more loyalty to the Imperial City than to Texas as well. You can rest assured that he is not on my list of people to support in the next election. We do not need another carpetbagger in either the Imperial City or Austin. Although some decent bills came out, it was definitely politics as usual, with all kinds of accounting gimmicks used to continue complying with unconstitutional and unfunded federal mandates ( I like the term imperial dictates better, it more accurately describes them for what they are).
By no means is this the first time that many in the Texas Legislature have been bought out with federal monies. When Texas was considering the vote on whether or not to join the Union, they were bought out as well. They sold their souls in 1845, and many Texas sons paid for it in blood fifteen years later. The President of Texas, Anson Jones complained about the interference of US money and US agents in Texas politics then. Now, about 170 years later, they are still meddling in Texas politics.
Bottom line, the US meddles. They meddle where they have no right to. Whether it is Greece, Somalia, Iran, Israel or some other foreign nation, that does not stop them. They disrespect national sovereignty all over the world. Should we be surprised that they continue disrespecting State sovereignty or the dignity of the citizens? It is their nature to meddle. If you question them on it, they will question your patriotism, your intelligence or just call you names.
The recent session shows where their loyalties lie. It shows what their priorities are and how they play games. When the election comes, those like Speaker Strauss will make it sound like they did everything to pass good laws and stand up for Texas. We know better. We saw you and your ilk sell your soul to the Yankee dollar and Yankee control.
We need elected officials who will remain true to their oaths, true to their districts, and true to Texas.
Liberty for Texas!
