Republicans in Texas... I think were missing a check or a balance some where

[Vesayen]

They have tried to jerry mander TWICE now, and i'm sure they will try in another 90 days for a third time.........

It's quite obvious the state goverment in texas is corrupt in the extreme, and I see little which is going to change that situation

[Japher]

I guess we'll have to sic Sloww on them

[mrmitchell]

We should kick Texas, California, and Wisconsin out of the Union. That should make everyone happy.

I demand this thread be closed as it is obviously a copycat thread.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You mean like the Democrats have been gerrymandering since the 1860s?

After all, it's been stated that the worst gerrymandering job in the country after the 90 census was the one the Dems did in Texas.

No it's not, this one is entirely spam!

[DinoDoc]

Oh! Carry on then.

[SlowwHand]

Where the hell are you , Vesayen?

[SlowwHand]

Let me ask you boys something.

One flag is authorized in the United States to fly at the same height as the U.S. flag.
What do you think it is?





Yeah! That's right. Texas.

[mrmitchell]

Really? Could you provide a source?

(And could it might be because Texas was a seperate Republic for a few years?)

And are you so desperate that you've reduced your counterings to rants about peices of cloth?

[SlowwHand]

I'm just stating a fact.
I'll find a source, but I could also ask instead that you disprove the fact.

[mrmitchell]

You're the one who brougth it up. You have the burden of proof.

EDIT: Persons who make cheap jokes about "How the hell do you brougth something" will be shot.

Texas Flag Code

§ 3100.055. Display on Flagpole or Flagstaff With Flag of United States

If it is necessary for the state flag and the flag of the United States to be displayed on the same flagpole or flagstaff, the United States flag should be above the state flag.
If the state flag and the flag of the United States are displayed on flagpoles or flagstaffs at the same location:
the flags should be displayed on flagpoles or flagstaffs of the same height;
the flags should be of approximately equal size;
the flag of the United States should be, from the perspective of an observer, to the left of the state flag;
the flag of the United States should be hoisted before the state flag is hoisted; and
the state flag should be lowered before the flag of the United States is lowered.
Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1420, § 7.001, eff. Sept. 1, 2001.

Thanks, Japher.

But as this is Texas flag code and not American flag code, who gives a ****? Couldn't any state pass such a hypersectionalist law like it?

Now, if FEDERAL law authorized it, I'd be satisfied. But as it is, it's nothing more than ridiculous state = nation or state > nation pride.

You're a quick little fellow, aren't you, Japher.
