Need Car Insurance? No Drivers License? No ID? No Problem In Texas!

I did a double take when I saw this news article on KHOU in Houston.

Illegal aliens who can not get a drivers license in Texas are able to get car insurance.  Ask yourself this; “What do illegals need car insurance for if they can’t get a drivers license?”

You and I know it’s to drive their cars. Cars they have no license to drive. These are the same illegals that the Liberals will tell you “are here just to provide for their families and have not broke any other law that coming across the border illegally.”

Okay, so this Teacher in Oregon who says it’s her right to carry her pistola in class isn’t from Texas, but with an attitude like hers, she should be. In fact, more Texas teachers could take a lesson from her.

Bush Works Against Texas In Illegals Death Penalty Case

The Bush Administration is working hard to stop Texas’ planned execution of an illegal alien, Jose Ernesto Medellin, convicted of killing two young girls back in 1994.

Why? Well, according to the Bush camp, the illegal alien was never told he could ask for help from the Mexican consulate. In other words, Bush says Medellin’s civil rights were violated because no one told him he could contact the Mexican consulate.

The Nueces County Prosecutors Won’t Seek Death Penalty

The Nueces County District Attorney’s Office has decided not to seek the Death Penalty in capital murder cases until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment.

I’m not sure why they came to this decision, the State certainly didn’t make them. In fact, most DA’s in Texas believe the U.S. Supreme Court will “okay” lethal injection for executions.

Jim Broussard - American Patriot Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

Who is Jim Broussard? He’s an American Veteran and Patriot in Reno Nevada who drove up to a Mexican Cantina in downtown Reno and cut down the Catina’s Mexican flag that they had flying over an American flag.

All this why a bunch of Mexicans and a TV Camera looked on.

For those of you who do not know, flying any flag above Old Glory is prohibited. I’m sure the Senior of the Cantina knew this, but didn’t care and so far he hasn’t been fined or arrested.

Why Is HISD Letting The NAACP Dictate School Policy?

I’ve been loosely following this HISD proposed Bond issue for the last several weeks and I keep having a nagging question come up.

Why is the HISD groveling at the feet of the Houston Chapter of the NAACP?
