The new and improved Texas welcome sign - The Firearms Forum

skullfr · 07-23-2012, 10:14 PM

Texas has always been a great state and now they tell visitors how it is.

jedwil · 07-23-2012, 10:16 PM

Nice sign. Wish we had one every 50 miles or so on every highway.

Deputy Dawg · 07-23-2012, 10:20 PM

Now that is my kind of sign.

BETH · 07-23-2012, 10:39 PM

jedwil · 07-23-2012, 10:48 PM

Probably should be bilingual.

Jedwel I have all the respect for you and your wife. My wife and I enjoyed meeting you. I consider you two as friends, But if they want to be here they need to read and speak the language.

Another point for Texas!!!

If you're Texan, got a little redneck in you, or you're happy, you can say YEEHAW!

Which two languages? Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Portugese?

Nah; just stick with Texan. The northerners will have a hard enough time understanding it. Liberals will find it totally incomprehensible.

Alpo · 07-24-2012, 08:59 AM

I'm reading this thread with amazement.

Y'all believe that sign is real?

You can see where it's been photoshopped, but it is fun to think about. Wish it were real.

No we don't. Dosent mean we cant enjoy it.

skullfr · 07-24-2012, 01:56 PM

really if it was true it woulda been all over the news,still pretty cool though

jstgsn · 07-24-2012, 01:58 PM

The sign may not be real, but it's the thought that counts. Besides that, there are enough "real signs" being taken down. The American Flag can't be flown or displayed on our own soil in some communities. The Cross had to be removed from many public places. The words "In God we Trust" are being protested.
It's all part of the hand basket ride we are on.
Perhaps Texas should post that sign.
Perhaps we should fight for their right to do so.
I think I smell something simmering in the souls of my fellow man. A slow burn that may burst into flames any day now.

just thinking out loud.. thats all.

skullfr · 07-24-2012, 02:24 PM

I agree with ya wholeheartedly.I see a majority is tired of this whole mess and starting to draw the line in the sand.I have always flown a rebel flag along with the american.I am a proud rebel and it is not about hate but pride in my heritage

"other states are abolishing the death penalty, my state's puttin' in an express lane!"

gotta love it...

Sig Willy · 07-24-2012, 02:56 PM

"Don't mess with Texas" is real. 'nuff said.

Deputy Dawg · 07-24-2012, 03:06 PM

I wish the sign was real, I would like to see a real one, it would get my vote.
