IT is getting so bad that I am angry, they are no longer allowed to be this fucking stupid

we need to do something about it

It's obviously made half the population of a huge state not only stupid but barking crazy.

Way to go Texass.

Religious people are more apt to believe the outlandish

Funny, probably half the USA wants to give it back to Mexico.

I think the Southern part -- the area that kinda makes a point south is a Democratic stronghold with parts of Houston & Austin. El Paso too.

I'm at-the-point where I'd probably prefer Arizona given to Mexico who would probably be more progressive that our legislature & governor. I really don't know how you do worse. The Southeast part of this state is a solid Democratic stronghold -- the land acquired through the Gadsen Purchase.

The propaganda is heavy and thick and they're somehow fooling people and I don't get it. Gotta be playing to their fears & prejudices but how can they not recognize the Republicans are so phony. It is plain as day.

VICE had a report on right wing militias. I'll try to keep this brief -- there are active, armed, doing military training exercises & unregulated border patrol and this was pretty consistent under the belief or impression (someone is selling it but a whole lot of people are buying it) that Obama is a Muslim Marxist Socialist that is coming for your guns first and foremost. After the guns are taken he's going to sneak our freedoms away from us and something about illegal immigrants being part of the plan (A 3% said to the Colorado RW radio jockey "Does anyone think its a strange coincidence the illegals are being put into red states?". This is where the unregulated border patrol comes and I fear what happens to their victims. For some reason ISIS is a big part of it as well as they commonly preach that either Obama is going to let ISIS into the country or unable to stop them so they are "doing the job the federal government is unwilling to do.

Do they ever have an awakening and how does it happen. I can't believe how extremely big lies come across as truth to them -- believe a lie and doubt the truth. It is crazy how far off they are believing this crazy nonsense.

The funny thing about it all is part of this Marxist coup was to fake a birth certificate which is an implication that they believe the election results are genuine. Wouldn't it make more sense to believe the vote was rigged but no doubt they probably they believe that with all this "voter fraud" rhetoric.

I live in Texas and I do not know one person who cares about Jade Helm. I would like to know where the numbers for this poll came from, there is no way it is accurate. It probably came from World Net Daily.

Further more, Gov. Abbott has called up the State Guard, not the National Guard. There is a huge difference. The State Guard is a bunch of old white men who like to play soldiers. The State Guard is the last line of defense if Texas is attacked and all the US soldiers and National Guard are killed, then the State Guard is supposed to come to our defense. In the meantime, they meet and drink lots of beer (or so I have been told).

I know there are a lot of fools in Texas and they seem to like to get their names in the paper a lot. But Texas is also populated with lots of smart, good people and I get sick and tired of posters on this board lumping Texans into one group that they call stupid or idiots.

I am a little suspicious about this poll though.

The panglossean podsnapperists who pretend it's all about sharing data on GINI coefficients, the effects of Glass--Steagall and TPP conflict arbitration are utterly spectacularly blind to the fact that the majority of voters will never care about, understand, or react to such facts. That's why surveys on isolated policy positions that imply the US resembles Scandinavia are laughably irrelevant. All you have to do is say "tax and spend!" or "liberal@" and the moronic majority switch gears and forget about policy to react to soundbite demagoguery that tells them anybody left of Joe Lieberman has it in for white Christian male employed folks.
