But this decision has Randall Ellis’ knickers in a knot. Mr. Ellis, who heads up the Lesbian/Gay Rights Lobby of Texas, called the decision “irresponsible” and asked the Board to “do what’s best for youth.”

Hm - is allowing the sexual orientation of 1 to 3% of Texans to influence our young in our states best interests?

Earlier this year, on the one year anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s reversal of Texas’ Homosexual Conduct Law, Mr. Ellis said that this “should serve as an example to all who work to advance the agenda of human rights.”

What do you think Texas? Let Mr. Ellis know at lgrltexas@aol.com.

Web-Based Game Hunting Coming Soon
Liberal Closet-Hunters Welcome!

John Underwood has built a website, http://www.live-shot.com, which will soon allow visitors to hunt deer and other game on his 330-acre ranch in Southwest Texas thru use of a camera and a web-controlled .22 rifle.

It’s another great Texas first! Great – what will the north-eastern liberals think now?

But wait a second - what better way for panty waist animal-rights lovin’ liberals to enjoy a good hunt. They wouldn’t have to touch a real gun or get their hands dirty. Hell, maybe the management could even give away a copy of Ted Nugent’s book Kill It & Grill It to all card-carrying vegans. Throw in a few liberal friendly services like skinning the kill and making sausage for them which can be shipped in dry-ice overnight and we’re probably looking at another small-business success.

Houston Targeted For Terror
Deadly Scenario Strikes Fear Into Texans - And Rightly So!

What’s fifty miles long, surrounded by more deadly materials than anywhere in the country, and agreed by security experts to be a target for terrorists? The Houston Ship Channel.

Sam Gwynne reporting for Texas Monthly draws some serious and deadly conclusions regarding the end of an attack on the channel. The article came out before we were warned of the imminent danger of dirty bombs being smuggled into America through our porous border with Mexico.

The article starts with a scenario that strikes fear into Texans – and rightly so! A Belize-flagged, Singapore-owned container ship is carrying “explosives that makes Timothy McVeigh’s Oklahoma City bomb look like a firecracker.” The explosives detonate while the ship is deep in the channel. In this scenario, the terrorists hit the daily double – next to the container ship was a liquefied petroleum gas tanker. A two-fer-one. Scary!

Here’s a small excerpt of the worst case scenario’s found within risk management plan’s filed with the EPA, which can be found in the article…
