And of course, he’s one of those governors who thinks he has the authority to stand at the gates to Texas (in Texarkana, next to the roadside titty bar) and personally kick runover with his wheelchair any Syrian refugees in the face if they try to enter that state.

Dallas, you say? Isn't there a nice gated community there with some nice people who know a lot about that part of the world who could make them feel at home while they get acclimated?

And it still has Sheila Jackson-Lee. She's one of the only southern Democrats I've seen who makes me think that maybe it isn't *all* terrible down there.

If I were in charge of refugees at the state departmentThese poor folks have been through enough. So we will relocate them in a blue state that will better reflect true American values of courage, faith, hope and charity. Texas' display of cowardice, paranoia, xenophobia and christo terrorism will not be a good example of who we are as a nation and as a people.When you start with a gene pool composed of deserters,thieves, bandits, cowards and assorted petty criminals and combine it with rampant in breeding of close relatives the result is Texas.

Oh, they will put on BDUs and flak vests until they are actually taken to the middle of the desert and made to subsist on MREs and take showers which consist of a trickle of water while you stand there nekkid and filthy.
