Lowering The Curtain On the Lunatics In Texas

THE GREAT STATE of Texas is going crazy, or perhaps has long since gone. Though that maybe shouldn't be surprising, it should be alarming. Like much of America, Texas has been taken over by a vast horde of conservative Caucasian Christian republicans, tragically. These people have lost all touch with reality, and they understand nothing about mainstream progressive secular America. First the state legislature passes its own version of North Carolina's doomed "bathroom bill", under which we must all use the restroom corresponding to the gender on our birth certificates, a subtle way of discriminating against transgender people, and now, for the piece de resistance, it is now illegal for cities in Texas to be "sanctuary cities, which means that, like it or not, local police departments must chase Mexicans as well as criminals. The highly progressive city of Austin is up in arms, with protests filling the streets. Neither of these wicked vicious conservative pieces of garbage legislation will stand the test of the American legal system, much less the avalanche of corporate sponsored billion dollar enterprises and activities which will inevitably boycott the state, like happened in North Carolina, like a giant sucking sound ala NAFTA and Ross Perot, for those of a certain age. North Carolina learned its socio-economic lesson the hard way, and repealed its insane bathroom bill. So will Texas, soon enough. Our lunatic fringe conservative Jesus Guns and money community is having its day in the sun, but, as an old Cajun sayin' goes, "the sun don't always shine on the same dog's ass." Ironically, this Christian capitalistic conservative movement is only hurting itself, by driving business out of Texas, and into other, more progressive, more sane states. The American people, by a wide margin, want to welcome and include our brothers and sisters from the south, rather than treat them like criminals, and want to leave transgender people alone, and stop persecuting them. And that's exactly what's going to happen, notwithstanding last ditch efforts by a Jesus Guns and Money conservative lunatic fringe trying desperately to have one more dying day in the sun, before the curtain goes down on them.
