No, Texas isn't libertarian (it is a mixed bag). It isn't the Wild West either and the Battle of the Alamo happened a long time ago.
Every other time it comes up, someone posts something like "Texas isn't free". What fantasy land are you living in? There is no perfect state and no where to run if you don't support the right people to run things in the state where you live. Even best state you can think of has enough lestists to elect bad leaders if good people do nothing.
What I am concerned about here is we have a lot of Californians that have moved in and a lot of money has been spent by leftist organizations trying to get Democrats elected here.
We were very close to electing Senator Beto.
I saw the discussion the last few posts and had to remind myself the story in the OP happened in Philly and not Montgomery, TX.
