Don't Mess With TexAss



Leading our nation and, therefore, the entire world in per-capita greenhouse gas emissions
Proudly defending our border - while being utterly dependent upon illegal labor from the other side
Home of the for-profit, from inside a cool SUV, drugged, but still exotic, wildlife hunting preserve
State with the lowest percent of land conservation and the absolute filthiest of the nation’s rivers

The place where foobawl is indeed a truly vital and important element, at the very core of life
Legislature where simply stalling the climate debate is trumpeted as a victory for personal freedom
A fantasy land of upscale overpriced mall shopping where driveby ghettos can be perfectly ignored
Where California is scathingly known as the home of those tax and spend environmental wackos

A place where obesity can be viewed as a sign of physical strength and of a righteous prosperity
Where Colorado is somewhere close enough to spread the toxic disease of their lifestyle, by RVs
A place God saw fit to grant coal-powered air conditioning in the good fight against global warming
They ensure individual assault weapon freedom while rigging elections with illegal gerrymandering

Their fiercely independent apartment cowboy class runs with rifles mounted in pickup truck windows
Thoughtlessly addicted to subsidizing terrorists via the lowest average MPG anywhere on the planet
Known as the lone star state and jesus knows - they should have remained independent - And alone
Their state animal, the armadillo, pretty much sums up their ironclad impregnability to reason

Righteously pacing the nation with 60% of all the criminal executions - and happy to tell you so
Wonderfully embodied by the folksy and totally scripted preaching of George W and Gov Perry
Don’t mess with Texas or you get a 3 step jump on their gunfire to get the hell out if you don’t like it
Willing and able to heap a pompous scorn upon people living in places they can’t even find on a map

Where comic frauds like willie nelson play golf wearing designer stetsons and cowboy golf boots
The place where the broad, self-satisfied smirk and the harsh, cynical laugh are sure signs of success
They speak with a wide and ignorant accent that requires subtitles for the rest of the nation
Ever ready to support the nuking of potential enemies first and then maybe sorting things out later

Leaders of the trend that promotes all recreation as obnoxiously loud and totally gasoline-powered
Home of a massive state debt as well as vicious calls for liberal fiscal responsibility in Washington
Origin of that compassionate, evangelical, mega-church conservatism and Traditional Family Values™
Where support for the war, any war, runs even deeper than merely their plastic bumper stickers

Birthplace of the kill them before we bother to try and understand them mindset
Where jesus grants you the sullen right to never engage in any diplomacy with your enemies
Half the size of Alaska but with twice the attitude per square foot as New York City
Embodying the extraction-based environmental ethos proposed for us all by the energy industry lobby

Place where home on the range means being stalled in the broiling smog of beltway commuter traffic
Their diesels pull those 50’ trailers which tow 3-4 ATVs, taking in nature and running loud generators
Where blacks are ignored, Mexicans are swindled while rich rancher’s inbred longhorns live like kings
From the dead shores of the Gulf to the putrid waters of the Rio Grande, Ah-ha gotta love that Texas
