    Prove to you that white people are brainwashed? Sorry bub can't do it. Nor can I prove irrational fears of socialism are just some other dumb white guy thing.

    But then again I wasn't the one who blamed this all on dumb whitey.

    It was all in my post.
    Oh well.

    Ha! You know the burden of proof is on you. Don't look to me to make your case for you, I already told you I can't prove dumb white people are to blame for irrational fears of socialism. Though I'd welcome your explanation. Especially if it was funny.

    Oh?

    Here's your post:

    Yeah, that opening sentence, your first response to the topic, isn't undone by mentioning brainwashing.

    Just as well you can't, since that wasn't the assertion made.
    See post #159.

    Hey you said what you said, if you're saying that wasn't what you meant, cool, I misspeak all the time. And just so you know I don't really think you're racist. I mean maybe you are but I wouldn't say this thread is proof.

    Besides I'm here for the funny, not to break anybody down. And how cool is that dancing bacon emoticon?

    Oh, I see the problem you're having...

    You're seeing this....

    Where my emphasis was on this.

    Where the hatred is dumb, not the people.

    But, the parts I underlined in #159 make that clear.

    And you're not that dumb.

    Ideally, one should start with Las Vegas, and then proceed to the natural wonders of California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.

    Texas has little to offer the tourist save for the excellent food found in San Antonio and the nudists to be found near Austin.

    I don't suppose there's any reason to ask why you're driving through the projects, Whitebread, but I didn't realize you were psychic. You can tell the sources of people's income just by driving past them? Wow...

    ...and every lazy fuck on WF who yells "Socialism!" because he thinks it's a clever way to terminate a discussion that makes him uncomfortable.

    Yanno what they say about ass-umptions, gentlemen? Had you asked, I'd have explained to Jan that Texas has its own unique culture which differs it from every other state in the Union, up to and including the fact that most of its people consider themselves only tangentially a part of the Union, and would much rather be citizens of the Independent Republic of Texas.

    But, no, you didn't ask. So you've been told anyway.

    Considering the way the country's going, that's understandable. ;)

    That would be healthier, since it's just the fuggin' internet, yes.

    So you Texans have been lying to us all this time? You really just want to be indistinguishable from any other American? Hokay.

    Your assertion that Texans only tangentially identify with being American is flat out wrong. Anyone who has even driven on a Texas highway would probably know that.
