1. Ah, yes. The great Doug Sahm.
We Texans are very, very proud of our melting pot-esque musical heritage. :patriot:

11. if it weren't for the fact that our "Commander Guy" supposedly hails from there...
I'd have nothing but good things to say about Texas.

Austin-style country does totally rule, in my book!

13. He's a Transplant
He's no true Texan. I have no problem with transplants, being an Native Houstonian Chicano. Just don't start a war all cowboy like, Texas style when you're born in New Haven, Connecticut.

4. I heart me some Texas Tornadoes
The late, great Doug Sahm and the late, great Freddie Fender. :cry:

And leave us not forget the Sir Douglas Quintet.

14. The Right Hate Me
I post on a conservative forum in an attempt to bridge the gap. Trying to fight the good fight. But I often get bashed for being a Texas Progressive.. on account of Dubbya.
