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 its right there, in the Texas Constitution. Why is it there? Duh, I dont 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?

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.
