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

Now, if FEDERAL law authorized it, I'd be satisfied.

There is no Federal Law that states whether or not the state flag must fly lower than the US flag if flown separatly.

I read that it is a myth to think that this right is bestowed only on Texas for it is not. Most states keep their flag below the American flag, but most states aren't Texas ...

I did notice that the treaty that would of admitted Texas into the union held a clause similar to the Flag Law, and stating that no Federal Ruling could change that law. However, that treaty was never signed...

You're darn skippy most other states aren't Texas.

[Japher]

Actually, it said most don't have laws regarding the height, or something, I lost it, but it did use most... Yet, it was refering to their being a law... I assume that Texas is the only state that states that it must be flown at the same height.

I could get into the whole history of it, but then I'd have to show all these damned links, and frankly I don't have the time or inclination.

Texas, by laws of the US of A, is not like other states; and I'm not talking Urban Myth crapola.

Back in the 60's the Dems were as racist and corupt as the Republicans are now. Shrub made himself dictator when he was governor, that is why there are no checks and balances.

NO TYRANNY BY THE MAJORITY!!!

Texas SUCKS! It is too hot in the summer, too many religious wackos, and too many Shrub-lovers. (like you)

[SlowwHand]

It's hot. It's damned hot. You got that right.
We got the hare krishna's off the street, so all's well now as far as the religious wackos.

We ain't as easy to fool as must be those Texas critters, 'cause you sure don't look like'n you ever fooled someone smart.

Yes yes Texas sucks that is why the majority of new people here are from everywhere else (Not talking about Illegals either)

[SlowwHand]

Point, game, match.

[mrmitchell]

SlowwHand, the goal of a political discussion is usually to convince the other side that you're right, not to release cheap flames and trolls.

EDIT: And oh yeah, just to make sure (I don't have any data on it myself) could you give me a source for that Texas immigration data that says most new people are from outside the state?

sure its called driving around & seeing out of state license plates.

[mrmitchell]

Houston might have a few California liscence plates or whatever, but we actually need data instead of just small, localised anecdotal observations. Yeah, sure, I see plates from places like Oregon in Arkansas, but does that mean we've had this sudden influx of Oregon citizens?
