My view point is simple.
I don't give two flying -blam!-s about the pricks who make a living out of furthering their agendas in this world of politics, which ever side they are on they only care about what gets them the votes.
It's bad enough the company I work in has politics. Folks trying to undermine each other at every turn when they themselves always say " We are a team." That is why I have turned down numerous promotions to be apart of that upper echelon.
That's the world we live in. As long as I get paid, keep my benefits and can have the things I want (including my guns). I keep my nose out of shit I've got no scent for.
As a Texan I have no doubt that if the US truly went to shit, we could become a country on our own again.
[spoiler]Before some dumbass calls me a "Gun-nut sister loving redneck" I'll have you know I grew up in the valley, been a ranch hand since my youth, my grandfather was a vaquero and his father before him. That's on my mother's side. My father's side has Polish/Huron Indian heritage. Unlike most folks I know my roots, I'm hella proud of them and I'm just as proud of my state's history. Sam Houston was a man unlike any other and if he was still around he would be ashamed of the current state of affairs beyond a doubt.[/spoiler]
That's my two cents, take it or leave it.

Don't get me wrong this state has it's downsides as well but for me the good largely out weighs the bad. Our economy is one of the best in the country. Shit maybe even globally speaking we are well off.
