17. I don't think he did know.

I think his actions were motivated exactly as he said they were. And that’s the problem. This young creep is racist without admitting it to himself. And so ignorant were his responses to Rep. Anchia’s excellently worded questions that they made my back teeth hurt and my nose and mouth conspire to create a subvocal snarl

He is an example of the breed of America the GOP wants as its legacy: ignorant and smug. He claims to be including the language because it’s right there, in the Texas Constitution. Why is it there? Duh, I don’t know, he says. What the . . . this little squirt lacked the curiosity to even read the damned document he quotes from? To fathom its history, to understand and either embrace or excoriate the racism implicit in its words?

Texas, this is your future. I weep for you and your many millions of genuine intelligent, American citizens -- which is to say Democrats, Independents, and others who care about truth and honesty. Sadly, it is the worst of you that are in the ascendancy today.

And, yeah, he does have a punchable face. Best way to do it is to take him to a good Texas saloon and whisper in the ears of the heavy drinkin’ Texas true-men there that the little bespectacled boy-man at the end of the bar favors gay rights and is a devout follower of flag-burning Marxists. Then quietly exit through the rear door and listen for the resultant chaos as he is beaten unconscious.
