Sweet smoking jesus and mary. My state has become a mecca for every racist, ignorant, crackpot wingnut out there. I don’t blame the rest of the country for thinking my state is fucking crazy.

I mean, we’ve got a congressman stating the federal government will randomly kill people through the proposed health care public option and tries to prove it by using an example of an private sector insurance company denying coverage. On the bright side, he was called out on this idiocy by people attending his town hall meeting.

We’ve a loony governor who has whipped the state’s secessionists into a frothing frenzy, with talk of hating the United States, the president and the American flag. (Ironic as the wingnuts accuse liberals and progressives of hating our country all the time.)  His main Republican opponent in the upcoming governor’s race wants to bring back segregation in our schools.

Meanwhile, our State Board of Education is proposing a history curriculum that would indoctrinate students with right-wing propaganda. Our schools are already forced to teach the bible in classrooms.

On the higher education front, a University of Texas professor is encouraging christians to marry right after high school in an effort to promote safe sex.

We are in dark days here in the Lone Star State and I don’t see it changing anytime soon. I’m not just angry. I’m actually frightened. Seriously. Secession, hating our country and brainwashing our students with right-wing, conservative bullshit and christian ideology.

Somebody want to give me some good news?
