What sort of "butt-kicking" would you suggest, exactly? Since erasing the entire state is out of the question, perhaps you should pick a specific target. First thing you should probably do is reconnoiter the state, eh? It's pretty big, I would just pick a few big metropolitan areas if I were you, otherwise you'll waste too much money on transportation. Should be easy, just keep a low profile. They don't check you at all when you drive over the border. Outside Austin is all anti-progressive and uneducated. No electricity, but everyone carries guns. Not a major problem; wear a white cowboy hat (you can get a real good one at any second hand store for about ten cents) and a gun of some sort (two bucks at any pawn shop). Act stupid, (just act normal) and you'll never be noticed. I might suggest a large belt buckle, a red bandana around your neck, and some jeans with motor oil on them. Cowboy boots are a must, but don't tuck your jeans into the tops of your boots, you'll be spotted for sure as an alien. Don't wear a bolo tie, they are not in fashion any more except for formal events. A rusty pickup truck is a plus, because you can put your gun on the gun rack. Texas plates. Not Arizona, and especially not California. Long hair wig is OK. Handlebar moustache or sideburns is good, but a beard is bad, you'll look like a musician or a political loser. Bring an Object if you want, it would add to the Excellent Undercover Disguise. Once you've selected a good spot in Texas for your butt-kicking, (a state government building might be perfect for you), just post your exact Time and Location of Butt Kicking here (two weeks in advance would be best) and you'll pretty much be done! Bring all your buddies if you want to. We'll all be there to greet you all, Texas Style! Thanks in advance!

Even though I have only lived in Texas for 12 years, and do not consider it my 'real' home even to this point, I still find your accusations prejudiced and mostly baseless. Fact: What's good for the Texas economy is bad for the rest of our economy. Always. What a load. Explain to me how this works. I am guessing that you make this sort of statement based on the idea that TX is such a large energy producer. Texas also has the most lax environmental laws in the country (lotsa pollution is OK) It wouldn't be so bad if we weren't having to make so much of the electricity that is needed by Californians due to their 'progressive' laws. everyone carries guns, women are mainly objects, Biased stereotypes. blacks and hispanics know their place Race is an issue EVERYWHERE. But there are plenty of white Texans (like me) that do NOT think this way. And if Texas is such a bad place for Mexicans, then why do they work so hard to get here either legally or by swimming the Rio Grande? Ironic for such an otherwise moral Christian state. More bias. they're ugly Americans Aha. Now we are getting to the crux of the biscuit... Texas is not really like my home state. The people are different. The culture is different. But if I were to hate Texans for being different than me, what would that make me? After all, the US is a big place, and we can be grateful that it is not just one big TX, or for that matter it is also good that it isn't all a big NY City. Your intolerance is offensive. cAPS (yeeee-haw!)
