10 Texas Commandments
« on: August 27, 2023, 01:01:19 pm »
A little levity for my fellow Texans...



A government big enough to give you everything you want
is a government big enough to take away everything you have.




Any government that can silence its critics
has a license for any kind of atrocity.
(RFK, Jr., September 2024)

11. Thou shalt not put beans in chili!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

12. Public Air Guitar of any ZZ Top tune is not only acceptable, but encouraged. 
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

13. Every male shall have at least one firearm in his home ready for quick retrieval and use.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

11. Thou shalt not put beans in chili!

This has been an on going debate.  I'd never make it in TX. I always put beans of some sort in my chili -- it gives it the extra 'umph' in my opinion.  To bean or not to bean???  If you're from TX -- I've learned it's a no-no.

Whether you fall in the beans or no beans camp, chili is one of the most satisfying ways to feed a hungry crowd. Especially when served with a hunk of cornbread on the side. Or is it Saltine crackers? That's a debate for another day…

....So cornbread or crackers?

I do both.  Oyster crackers inside the chili and cornbread on the side.  :shrug:

#13 should be mandated in every state.  But just males?  I'd say every male AND female...
