That's pretty cool. I always had respect for Perry, even after his less-than-stellar showing for POTUS.
Perry is a blithering idiot.
+1 > Austin, go figure.We'll just look at your location and consider the source!
But I can pray without infringing on your civil liberties.
I'm not from Texas, but it seems like the Austin commies have a humongous chip on their shoulder. Why?
I was waiting for you to say that I called you a commie. Try reading my comment again.Sure you can and i couldn't care less if you do a rain dance either. The difference is, you are not a government official using your position to promote your religion.
Right, "Austin commies" for expressing a dislike of Perry and we're the one with chips on our shoulders?
And btw, if one believes that expressing a dislike for the mixing of religion and politics makes one a "commie" they would probably be far better served to maintain their ignorance regarding the views and beliefs of the most prominent founding fathers.

Because...that's what the left does. They aren't a happy sort. They are jealous, angry and hateful. Here in ATX they are surrounded by normal people and despise them, almost as much as they despise themselves.
Gov Perry isn't perfect, but he's willing to stand up to the left and that gets my vote and respect.
Austin is a cool city. It is exhausting hearing about how cool it is though. Yes, we have bars and live music and tech jobs. There you go.
Don't paint us as a bunch of liberals though. There is a good mix here and the state of TX has laws that help keep the city of Austins laws in check.
And don't forget the guy who rides around in a thong on a bicycle that everyone seems to know. I was watching my disc fly and along comes this crazy guy in a thong. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and all the locals acted as though that was normal.
radiotom, it seems from the VERY quick and uncomprehensive research I did that it's a big university town. (I'm sure someone who's actually from there or knows about the town can better answer). It definitely explains why Champaign, IL is more liberal compared to the rest of Illinois (excluding Chicagoland of course).
I may sound a bit heretical round these posts but i believe the idea of a universal background check requirement is long overdue.
I can agree with the "it takes a person to pull the trigger" but then blaming video games makes no more sense than blaming the guns.
Do they have that effect on everyone that plays them? Of course not. Heck, I have played my fair share of video games but have never had an urge to kill another human being, and it has not translated into my "real" life. There are people who are more prone to being affected....
I'm starting to wonder if you are just a troll.Um, any rational person with an understanding of the english language and the workings of a message board would interpret your comments to mean that one or more of the posters here from austin is the "commie" you were referencing. One does not have to say "you are a commie" in order to call someone a commie. Given i was the last austin based poster(with the possible exception of Texan Scott) prior to your comment one could easily infer that i was the most likely target. If not, please clarify to which of us you were referring.

Can you see that "commies" in my comment is plural? Maybe that should have been your first hint that I wasn't speaking to you. Perhaps I was speaking in general about Austin commies. Perhaps?
Anyways, it seems like the ones from Austin are more miserable than average though. Could it be because they live in the middle of Texas and wish they were in some commie stronghold? Are they upset to be surrounded by happy, freedom loving Texans?
Why, because i don't agree with your views i must be?
Perhaps, but in context of the conversation such a general statement would then be completely random and out of left field.
Nah, we just get irritated when we encounter people who lack an understanding of how human communication works.
