Selective recent political news and
comments related to Texas politics
March 12, 2010 -
Texas ed board adopts social studies standards - Comment:
Don't mess with Texas history. Liberals may still rule over the
school curriculum in many states, but there is still hope that states
won't be bought out to support the federal
education agenda of
the Obama administration.
February 11, 2010 -
A GOP Pollution Test - blog by Michelle Malkin, pointing out
that Texas candidate for Governor Debra Medina is a "9/11
Truther". She didn't deny it on Glenn Beck's show.
February 10, 2010 -
Former Texas Rep. Charlie Wilson dies at 76 - and
later version - Comment: One of
the few Democrats who I will miss. Thank you, Charlie, for having the
integrity to stand up for the Afghans when few in Washington would stick
their political necks out to do so, even in a very limited way. Both the
Carter and Reagan administrations didn't "get it", and the result was
horrific and contributed directly to the many problems which persist
today in the region.
The movie may not have told
the true story very well, like any Hollywood or Washington-centric view
of the world, but at least it exposed what happens when we become
indifferent to ruthless tyranny.

Another source of information about Tea Party protests
and other local initiatives or contacts in many states can be found
through the "Patriotic Resistance" -
http://www.resistnet.com .
The purpose of these tools is to make it easier
for conservatives to find what their elected officials, political peer
groups, and commentators are saying and doing on topics of interest to them
at the time.
This will be similar to the Search: Americas
tools created at
www.ShortListNews.com , which make it easy to search across many
economic development or chamber of commerce websites, such as to find timely
information about the local business investment climate as shared by these
promotional groups. There are also more comprehensive state economic
development directories at
www.gdi-solutions.com
There are also similar search tools for research across
the websites of many
professional
services related to capital investment projects which create or save
jobs in new or existing business locations.
