TAM, you're a naturalized Texan, you aren't the run-of-the-mill ex-Californian.
Thank you. I hold it as an honor. Having moved here from California, I feel like someone who has escaped a communist dictatorship and came to the U.S. in pursuit of liberty. I thank God I am here, I try to follow in the footsteps of those who blend wisdom with an appreciation of liberty, I appreciate it maybe a little more than some, and I am frustrated by those who would ruin a good thing in the name of various bizarre activisms. I include in that list:
- OCT
- Moms Against Everything
- OCTC
- Left-leaning Texas politicians
- Nearly everything democrat in Texas
- About a dozen other things better left unsaid
And, without trying to sound like a suckup, I thank God for people like Charles L. Cotton and LOT of the members of this forum who have taught me over time the meaning of liberty, tempered by responsibility. You're never too old to learn.
