I guess I can draw two threads together here. I went to the Denton Gun Show this morning, and spent some time talking to a couple of Texas Minutemen. They had some great video's, pictures, and other paraphernalia addressing the problem on our southern border. We also talked about Gov. Perry and his appearances there.
The one MM said Perry has had one well publicized visit there, but also a couple of more that were less so. In one case, he spent some time in a Blackhawk helicopter, getting a bird's eye view. No question he knows what's happening, but only time will tell what his response will be.
As an aside, my mother in law was visiting from Haskell. Perry is from Paint Creek, which is in Haskell County, but not the town of Haskell itself. She reminded me one more time how strongly disliked our Governor is, in his own home county. They hate the guy for changing parties (yeah, not too many Democrats did that while Clinton was President), and because "he's ruined Haskell." In other words, as a Republican, he stands against the Demo's rural set-asides for farming and ranching. Man, I only wish I could have a job where the .gov would pay me for not doing my job for a year.
