It's insane and to my mind, grounds to dismiss the governor either on a psychiatric or treason.

Beside the ones already linked to, there's this one. There are more besides.

It's real but, as DQ suggested, the "monitoring" is BS to mollify the morons, a.k.a. Texans

But wait for all the Texas "Patriots" to come out to "assist" the Texas Guard. You know that's going to happen.

In an open letter to the commander of the state guard on Tuesday, Abbott praised the members of the U.S. military, but directed the Texas State Guard to monitor the exercise to ensure that the military did not violate Texans' rights.

"During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed," Abbott said

The governor's decision to deploy state troops comes after a series of bizarre conspiracy theories began circulating several weeks ago on conservative sites and right wing radio. A post on Teaparty.org claims that in more than 15 Texas cities special forces troops will try to blend in undetected among civilian populations to prepare for the imposition of martial law.

:rolleyes:

There were black helicopters in the air late last night. :eek: Thank God the Governor and Rand Paul are going to save us.

We should have let them secede in 1861 when we had the opportunity.
