The correct question is What are Texans' interests? Remember I am from Texas. It was big mistake for Texas, a nation, to join with 49 other states with 98 Senators who don't give a goddamn about Texas. Texas could actual function as a nation, while places like Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska and the Dakotas could not. It was a mistake to join the Confederacy, too. Sam Houston, the governor of Texas and before that President of Texas, was impeached because he would not sign the papers to join the Confederacy. He knew too late that it was a mistake to join the USA. Joining the Confederacy was doubling down on that mistake.

Huh. so you hate America and Americans so much that you want Texas to leave the USA? You would work against the United States, or support those who do?

I know I've said quite often that you hate America, and you hate Americans. You show FAR more concern for Hispanic immigrants than you do for your fellow citizens. What I can't figure out is ... why? Were you even born here? Why this deep hatred? What's the deal?

I am a Texan, first. I fought that stupid fucking war in Vietnam for the USA, actually for that crook Richard Nixon. That changed everything when I saw how stupid one hundred Senators could be about the Vietnam War. The Senate has only gotten stupider since then: Eighteen percent of the population controls 52 Senate seats. This is a ridiculous arrangement made to get low population states Delaware, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut to join the Union. It is not 1787 anymore and it would not be a problem for Texas if the tiny states lost all their Senators. If the tiny states with small populations don't like it, let them declare themselves tiny nations and join the UN.

So because YOU were stupid enough to get gulled into fighting a war, you wind up hating everyone? Blaming everyone else: It's just your way of avoiding personal responsibility for your own bad decision.

But aside from that, given that you're obviously driven by a blind hatred worse than mere TDS, why should anyone take anything that you post seriously? You're obviously not at all objective, can't carry on a rational conversation because you can't keep a rational train of thought going in your head, all you do is hate ... hate ... hate ...

I've known for some time that you're "damaged goods". Like WISHY, something happened to you in your youth that has entirely kinked your personality. You've been carrying this around wih you for fifty years and you desperately need a mental and emotional reset. Try working on that, because being consumed by hatred is really bad, for you.

You must have been able to avoid significant negotiations all your life. You keep repeating What are Americans' interests? There are no common interests. You discover what you can agree on only by keeping it extremely simple: Will you do this for that? As soon as you expand it beyond the most primitive trading, at least in America, war breaks out. Happens in Congress every day it is in session for the last 50 years.

Possibly this rush to conflict is connected to Americans reading too often the Bible book of Revelation. God does not negotiate or find common interest. He goes directly to Armageddon. Americans are fundamentally primitive, as the Bible taught them to be. Americans drop nukes on the children of Hiroshima and declare that bombing a glorious victory and necessary justice. Or Americans drop more bombs on SOUTH Vietnam, America's friend, then were dropped in all of WWII.

That's your hate talking. Since you refuse to discuss the topic, or think about it rationally, I suppose you'll never know, will you?

If this thing you are so vague about actually existed, wouldn't we know about it? Here are two simple as hell examples of why it does not exist:

Minimum Wage: We believe the Minimum Wage Act should be repealed.
Social Security Opt-Out: We support reform to Social Security that allows people to opt out.
The GOP's list of interests is 334 items long.
www.texasgop.org/platform/

I hope you can see how incompatible repealing the Minimum Wage is with what about half of Americans want. The Opt-Out is slightly trickier. It cannot coexist with Social Security continuing the same benefits or more. Social Security falls apart as would Federal Income tax collection fall apart if people could opt out by signing a form that they won't pay Federal taxes and they will renounce receiving protection from the Department of Defense/EPA/FBI/Medicare/whatever.

Everything on the list of GOP's interests is in direct conflict with everything on the list of Democrats' interests. This makes it impossible to know What are Americans' Interests. You will need at least two non-intersecting lists of Americans' Interests, one for Republicans, one for Democrats.

SECOND doesn't ** really ** hate republicans. Or if he does, he loves his food bowl more. The reason I know that is because he refuses to exert any effort or spend any money to defeat, or at least damage, republicans.

Naw. His so-called ** hate ** is merely his excuse to exercise his own mental pathologies.



And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

What Americans "want" may not necessarily be in their interest. Americans, unfortunately, have been fed bullshit from babyhood. Can we get past that?

And picking two extremely narrow programs to demonstrate that Americans have "no" interested in common is dishonest, just like you.

Let's start from the basics: Most Americans (except possibly anorexics, those with pica and some other pathologies) have an interest in access to tasty, nutritious food. Correct?

Second doesn't actually have any money. We already know he's a liar, but that's the problem with locking yourself in a corner with a big lie like this one and not confessing you were lying. It puts you in a position where you're a liar and a hypocrite too.
