    I obviously can’t be invested, good sir, in any argument here.

    Y’all have convinced I am surrounded by heady progressives and some practical liberals who — it’s not the best system, but if we dream of eating the rich one day, we can all get along.

    Now comes this discussion of Texas secession and the image of bombing citizens.

    Yes — these are despicable times and many Texans are behaving despicably.

    But liberal values at their heart are humanist— we must honor these Texans as living humans first — and sadly, allow them the privilege of being wrong.

    They are wrong.

    And they are our countrymen— forgive the archaic language.

    Imagining the bombing of our countrymen over decisions thrust upon them by the RECKLESS actions of others goes against who we are and what we all share in common.

    It is my hope that when you see violent propaganda if this kind, you remember that United we stand. And that includes our despicable removed cousins the Texans. [pardon use of R word]

      I’m not saying I’m okay with just blowing the whole state off the map but the people in charge need put down and the people who support them need severely reprimanded if not join them in the dirt.

      Just because their Texan doesn’t mean I want them hurt or dead, but if their Texan the likelihood that I wouldn’t piss on them if they were in fire goes up a lot

        Guess that’s on you.

        I’m a human being and I’m going to behave toward my countrymen with respect as regards their health at the very least.
