Remember when socialism was a bad thing?

Well, at least when it was government funding projects it's citizens voted for...

Although, I will admit that this isn't socialism. It's fascism.

Texas Governor Deploys State Guard To Stave Off Obama Takeover

Since Gen. Sam Houston executed his famous retreat to glory to defeat the superior forces of Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Texas has been ground zero for military training. We have so many military bases in the Lone Star State we could practically attack Russia.

If the GOP didn't have hypocrisy, they'd stand for nothing.
