Is there any way we can kick Texas out of the Union and gives them to Iran? Texans apparently have the same moral convictions and would fit in fine with the ruling mullahs.
Ya know the older I get the more I think we should just ban the current republican party and start over.
Great....now I gotta vote for Obama in ought12.
I don't know man, if you recall supporting the "god hats gays and they should not be allowed to marry" Ban fest of 04 is what got bush reelected.
At times I am deeply ashamed of my country

Look like?

I can't think of a time since I started paying attention that I've felt otherwise. People should be more ashamed of their countries. They don't behave well at all.

Agreed, I love my country but am often ashamed of it's antics and just how people around me are.
Don't condemn all of Texas for these particular parts of the GOP platform. Most Texans vote republican not in direct support of the GOP, but largely to avoid the extreme liberalism of the current democratic party platform. In fact, plenty of Texans are rather upset with such social issues wasting everyone's time while actual criminals pour across the southern border.
To condemn Texans in general (and even most conservatives) is just as narrow-minded, bigoted and inconsiderate of the facts as the noted parts of an ultra-conservative platform pushed by some very powerful but misguided politicians.
I have lived in north Texas for nearly 20 years, and can attest that most Texans are not so extreme in their views and there are a fair number of liberals living here as well.
If anyone uses this to show how Obama is somehow superior, check your facts first. Obama has not supported anything to the contrary. In fact, he has stated publicly that he opposes gay marriage. He has also continued nearly all of the Bush administration's policies, from domestic affairs to the conduct of war and even oil policy.
So, two points: Judging all Texans based on this GOP plank is just as bigoted as the plank itself. And, Obama has not a thing to do with it and has not endorsed any legislation to the contrary.
Cheers :)

Sure but thats where you step and vote for a moderate independent rather than support bigoted ideals such as what they're peddling.
And for further clarification I called the texas GOP who supported this legislation bigots, not texans themselves.

I've stated my position before.
Here's a huge government folly link . I really want to tell these guys off.Revolting.
How can one claim to be for small government, while criminalizing victimless, consensual acts between adults? What business does any government, large or small, have in the bedroom?
This kind of idiotic crap makes me want to scream. As a decades long registered Republican and a state delegate this is just plain embarrassing. With 2 wars, exploding debt, Obamacare, the gulf disaster, massive government expansion, corruption, and incompetence. Is this seriously what we want in our state platforms? Is this how we fight for less invasive less stupid government? This is such a great example of rearranging deck chairs as the Titanic goes down!
Here at the Colorado state assembly the Log Cabin Republican booth wasn't the busiest by any means, but at least folks were civil. I don't think they even got a hundred people signed up for their news letter, but at least no county in Colorado advanced a resolution or platform plank like this.
*facepalm*
Here's one opinion on it.
*caution the following video is NOT appropriate for all ages
This inbred a$$clown adds zero to the discussion. Stupidity does not overcome stupidity.
Lets keep Texas and just give Mexico a good chunk of the republican party. I am sure Democrats can spare some too but ugh if we get to ship any of em off the Republicans get a house cleaning first.
Is it to late to give Texas back to Mexico?
I'm pretty sure we can take them. ;)
This is NOT the official stance of the mainstream Texas GOP. The Republican Party of Texas is an affiliate of the Republican Party in Texas, headquartered in Downtown Austin. It is a radical splinter group.

Throughout history it has been the weapon of choice though.
Is it to late to give Texas back to Mexico?We can sell it back and pay off the national debt. I would have done it in 2000 if I were President.
I think it would be more fair to the buyer that we paid them to take it.

Some of my favorite posters live in Texas.
My favorite posters are the one of a train that derailed through the front of the station and was laying half in the street with a caption that reads "F*$%," and the one of the Hindenburg exploding that says "S&@@".
I'm not a fan of "Hang in there, Baby." That one is just annoying after a while. Most of the motivational posters aren't that inspiring either, or are outright annoying. I don't want to be preached at by a black bordered picture of a sunset on the ocean.
What's up with optical illusion posters too? Who ever thought of putting one of those on poster board and slapping it on his wall was a genius. Those things are both tasteful and awe inspiring.
Not like Black Light Posters, those things are so freaking cheap-looking in any light. It's not bad to have them, but those are for the room that contains a black light... not any other. It weirds me out to see them in other parts of the house.

Paizo,
You should seriously consider removing all off-topic posts from showing up in the Message Board box that is on the right of EVERY page I navigate to. I can't escape crap like this - politics, "civil religious discussions"... I don't come to Paizo for that. If you want an off-topic board, fine: just allow us who want to avoid such a thing be able.
Think about what a newcomer sees when going to the homepage for the first time: "Kingmaker, cool. Alliance sale...gotta check that out! Conservatives suck...whoa...".
It's gotten now to where when I see a Pathfinder product in my FLGS, my mind wanders back to some off-topic, hateful post I saw on Paizo.com. That's a crying shame.
I've got about $25 in my cart right now and I've lost interest in completing my order (this has been building over months) because of this crap.
Why would a company want to subject their customer base to controversial post headings on every single page? On-topic, ok, but not off topic.
Think about companies considering working with Paizo. Do you think they appreciate the potential lost customer base when Paizo allows any yahoo to insult said base and put it on every Paizo webpage?
Sincerely,
Lee
They're trying to take away my precious, precious porn! THIS WILL NOT STAND!!!!!!!

You can. Go to the messageboard section. Collapse the off-topic section. It will cease showing up in your sidebar. *Snark removed. Several times*

1. Been considered, and rejected.
2. Don't like it? Don't click on the link and read the posts.3. "Can't escape" -- if you have some sort of bizarre OCD thing that forces you to click on off-topic threads whenever you see them, Paizo aren't the right people to help you. A psychiatrist would be a better bet.
4. As a guy with < 100 posts, you're a lot less of a part of the messageboard community than people like Crimson Jester, who has nearly 10,000, for example. You might think about that before making these sorts of demands.

When your looking at the message board forum. The main one before you navigate to anywhere, you'll see arrows beside all the various forum sections and even the sub-sections. If you click on that arrow and close off that section of the forum all threads in that subsection vanish from the message board box to your right.
Hence, if your so inclined, you can choose to never see such a post again, should take just one mouse click.
Is there any way we can kick Texas out of the Union and gives them to Iran? Texans apparently have the same moral convictions and would fit in fine with the ruling mullahs.
Not a bad idea. Then we can go ahead and give San Francisco to North Korea, just to keep things fair. Then they can call each other "Comrade" and it will truly mean something...
Your position intrigues me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

"Extreme liberalism?" 0_o
I'm a Canadian. I don't discern anything which counts even remotely as "extreme liberalism" in the platform of the Democratic Party -- at either the State or Federal level.
What Americans consider "extreme liberalism" is, in many instances, considered conservative or, at the very least, mundane and mainstream in the other industrialized nations of the world.
Which pretty much boils down to the following:
Q: Is America, relative to the rest of the world, viewed as an conservative and ideological state?
A: Generally, Yes.

Which pretty much boils down to the following:
Q: Is America, relative to the rest of the world, viewed as an arch-conservative and overly ideological state?
A: Yes.
Which causes all kinds of fun confusion when Americans consider the comparison between the two.
Which is why the "if you don't like it go elsewhere" solution to political problems rarely works for conservatives. Sure, we dislike some of the things that are going on in our country. But the options are try to change it or leave... and everywhere else is worse.

I would have over 10k posts by now, except my life is too messed up right now to do a lot of posting. So, I'll gladly trade my "life" for more posting time any day :)
And, yeah, way to go national liberal media. Latch on to a group even most Texans think are screwed up and paint all of us with a broad stroke form your moronic paint brush.
Gotta love objectivity in reporting these days...
Texas: Home of the Largest American city with an openly gay mayor. Suck that, East and West coast elite liberals!

Look, just because you keep your Little Red Book (Mao Zedong, amazon, $19.95 + shipping) in your back pocket, doesn't mean we don't know from radical liberal down here!
And, the reality is: Is America, relative to 1/6th of the world population (Western Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, some pockets in south and central america) viewed as conservative and ideological?
Why, yes.
Is america viewed that way by the (gay killing, woman oppressing truly backward and sexist) other 5/6ths of the world?
No, they view us as pretty liberal too...
