    My employer would likely frown on my getting arrested, even if I was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing. However, I do wholeheartedly agree with the good fight these guys are putting up. I've met Scott Smith, and he seemed like a very good guy to me.

    I was just reading about this on the Comical site. With Patterson being there and his office being responsible for the Alamo, I am pretty sure this one will be uneventful. Found it interesting that they will be doing 'chamber checks'.

    San Antonio has a local ordinance requiring any open carried rifles/shotguns to have a clear chamber. So they will just be making sure everyone is in compliance.

    I'm in a good spot. I think my employer would have a great laugh and buy me lunch. The problem would come if I missed work for it - that part would not be taken well by the coworkers who would have to pick up the slack.

    I think he was talking about sugarland. Personally, I got a chuckle from the joke...but then again, I'm around people who make jokes like that daily and I see it on here occasionally. Its no big deal unless you want it to be.

    I am all for the event in principle ... but it is just plain stupid to plan a wedding or stage a protest during week eight of College Football.

    Big protests on April 15 make sense, as they do on National Holidays. But on a football weekend?

    I have already politely declined two wedding invitations since August. Wedding gifts were Nerf footballs.

    I believe how it was worded may have made j think he was being a little racist. "Any Mexicans" some would think he meant they're not welcome. I did not and got the joke. I grew up in New Mexico. There the term Mexican is considered a racial slur. Here in Texas Mexicans are proud of their heritage.

    What is a Texas Mexican? Either you are from Texas or Mexico.

    A Mexican-Texan or Mexican-American would be someone who immigrated from Mexico to Texas or America, respectively. So if you we born there (or were a natural citizen by some other virtue) and went through the process to immigrate and naturalize here, then you would be a Mexican-Texan. I guess a "Texas-Mexican" (or Texan-Mexican, more properly) would be a natural born Texan who immigrated to Mexico.

    I guess I would think if they immigrated here and became a citizen they are now an American. I don't care for hyphenated national descriptors. If I moved to Germany I would still be an American. If I became a citizen of that nation I would then be a German, not an American. Kinda simple.
