At Tea Party meeting: "You're suggesting that we shoot people." Reply: "But you're in Texas."

[font color=green]This excerpt is from the article "Tea Party favorite delights supporters" that appeared in the Williamson County Sun. The article is written by John Savage regarding an appearance of conservative filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch during a meeting with the Williamson County Tea Party. [/font]

One of the first queries came from a gray-haired man who declined to give his name. The man said he had written a letter to Governor Rick Perry asking that he deputize all Texans with a concealed handgun license, "to go down to the border and take care of these people ourselves."

The crowd responded with applause.

Governor Perry did not answer the letter, the man said, but he wanted to know what Mr. Lynch thought of the idea.

"I disagree with you," Mr. Lynch said in a calm, even tone. "You're suggesting that we shoot people."

"But you're in Texas," someone in the crowd shouted. "Is there anything wrong with that?"

Whoa.

2. Yeah, it's nerve wracking to be next door to that many lunatics

I try to console myself with the thought that most of the real jackasses are in east Texas but I know the swaggering idiocy backed up with too many guns is all over the state.

Things really are different across the border in NM.

I really despise so many of my fellow Texans.
