Texans on NPR complaining about "socialist" speech.
It was something hearing a Texan saying that socialism prevents people from knowing the "joys" of captialsim. You remember the texans that gave us ENRON. When the space shuttle crashed, bush and his syndicate, the congress, set up a fund for people on the ground who were effected by the crash. So everyone and their brother in Texas cashed in. Oh joy.
Then during the bush depression, Americans lost one trillion dollars thanks to the "joys" of capitalsim. Yet these dirty bastard Texans have the nerve to stick their noses in the air as if they played no part in our current debacle, and proclain that the current efforts of President Obama to help the working people of America deal with the bush junta is socialism.
During the same NPR broadcast, they interviewed a victim of Mao's cultural revolution. The middle class was wrongfully sent to the farms and given meals that were partly dung. This would show them how worthless they were. Although the cultural revolution was unjust and cruel, sometimes I think that Texans really need to be humbled because of all the evil they created and their dirtly rhetoric that has followed.

No, there are some on DU that never let up. And they don't seem to understand the meaning of the word "united".
Texas is changing. We've got many of the same problems in other states, such as gerrymandered districts. Virginia, an electorally "blue" state, is now going through some similar gerrymandering by their state senate. Yet, I don't see their region being bashed because of that.
Just today, I read two posts by DUers that Texas will never change. I'd say it's more likely that they will never change their opinions of us, but you can't tell them that 
Because sometimes I feel that way with my fellow Liberals!
