lived in texas for 2 years and had no problem with the language.. it was way too hot for me but I would gladly move back if it meant obama could not screw with me and my rights.

It is hotter than I like and I have lived here all my life. For me that is the only downside. If I were to move it would be to somewhere that has mountains and 4 distinct seasons. There are some mountains but Texas is so big you have to drive all day to get to them. It is as a whole a pretty right wing state, thank the Lord, although with the influx of a lot of liberals over the recent years there are areas that do have way to many of them. Austin in particular.

Our personal rights have been on a downward slide since then.

Around here we call it " The war of northern aggression "

I haven't had any issue when I go to DFW or Houston. Now CA is another issue. Can't argue that one since I-5 @ San Ysidro is more busy with Mexican pedestrian traffic than the Las Vegas Strip is on New Years Eve and this was over 15 years ago when I lived in San Diego.
