Texas wants to rewrite the US History books

[GusFrerotte]

The point is to basically push "statism" to a certain degree. That is why they want to negate Jefferson( a staunch anti federalist), and reinforce the cultural tenants of the Christian Right. Although McCarthy was later to be proven to be on the right side of history in hindsight, they are going to use his example against "traitors" to the state in the 21st century as commies. If you are anti war, pro civil liberties you will be seen as being non American and a pinko commie. It is funny they want to list country music as a major cultural tenant of America and not hip hop. Both play to the lowest base of society and are really nothing more than affirming a mediocre existence, but country usually has a patriotic theme to it, while hip hop tends to be either about materialism or the tough existence living in the inner city.

Question, if country music and Hip Hop play to the lowest base of society, then what plays to the higher base of society? Or in other words what kinda music do you like?

Really? So people into country music are the lowest base of society? Not sure where you have been but thats def. not true. I would say that most people who listen to country are the base of Society and this country. You left out that hip hop is also about gangs , violence and drugs.

I played in a Country band for 12 years through Va. and some in NC back in the mid 80's to mid 90's. Yes you have your red necks but you have alot of just down to earth country people who work their ass off and never ask for any hand outs. They love their country and have better morals then most snob ass people living in the big city. While most of them will never be rich they will give you the shirt off their back any day. Say what you want but if more people had ther work ethic and their morals then this country would be much better off.

im not going to get into it, i had enough time arguing politics in law school, but the federalist stand for local government and limited federal/nat'l gov't. justice scalia is a federalist.

Hmm . . . I thought that was the complete other way around. I thought Hamilton was a Federalist and Jefferson was an anti-federalist. From what I've studied they all wanted a central / republic form of government but argued about the powers that it should have.

I assumed that the Texans want Jefferson out because they're RINOs. Limited government stands against what the Roosevelt wing of the party wants for the US.
