Texas Drifter: Best Hyphenated Americans Are ...
Marshall’s Law Dateline – Some “serious levity” from 2012 Presidential election; question, who are America’s best hyphenated Americans?
Brief answer: Texas-Americans is obvious choice. Texans are only Americans to have their own Declaration of Independence, own Constitution, own navy, along with proven devotions to America’s traditions, values, and principles before becoming a state in the United States of America.
Excerpts Texas 1836 Constitution (Texas Drifter note: Texas Patriots were not, and probably still are not as sophisticated as Northern American patriots, so Texas patriots made Texans Bill of Rights more specific.)
We, the people of Texas, in order to form a government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence and general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution.

16th. Treason against this republic shall consist only in levying war against it, or adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and support. No retrospective or ex post facto law, or laws impairing the obligations of contracts, shall be made.
17th. Perpetuities or monopolies are contrary to the genius of a free government, and shall not be allowed; nor shall the law of primogeniture or entailments ever be in force in this republic.
The foregoing constitution was unanimously adopted by the delegates of Texas, in convention assembled, at the town of Washington, on the 17th day of March, in the year of our Lord [1836], and of the independence of the republic the first year.
In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names.
End Texas 1836 Constitution excerpts, reader’s assignment review entire document before reaching your conclusion.
Texans being most modest and humble of all hyphenated Americans simply and proudly refer to themselves as Americans. Another reason for Texans not to refer to themselves as hyphenated Americans is not to embarrass other hyphenated Americans like Asian-Americans, Black-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and others who like to be considered hyphenated.
Seems like these other hyphenated Americans are only distinguished by color of their skins and ethnic backgrounds; comparing their skin colors and or ethnic heritages most from third world countries falls way short of Texans’ history and contributions Texans brought to America.
Texans are perhaps the most: humble; courteous; polite, respectful of children, ladies and older people; modest; brave; and honorable; plus all other positive adjectives reader can apply with reader’s immeasurable admiration.
As infinitely patient as Texans are; many of us are growing weary of others lowering standards for hyphenated Americans which were set by Texans; especially by those who believe world owes them a living and special privileges based on their skin color and or third world ethnic backgrounds.
Let reader who doubts above Texas Drifter empirical facts study Texas history and contributions Texans have made, are making, and will continue to make to be apart of Heaven’s favorite constitutional ethical capitalist republic, America.
Texas Drifter will close this writing exercise with a message and an invitation. First the message for Massa Obama and his allies plus Republican aristocrats; citizens of Texas are not likely to make good government slaves; so it is best you take your “we want to be your Massa” attitude to, in Obama’s world, America’s other fifty-six states.
Texas Drifter closing invitation: Northern ladies with money who can pass a Texas beauty contest, when you get tired of Yankee boys; come on down to Texas where real men know how to treat ladies.

Texas Drifter: “Liberty Is Responsibility, Not license”
Marshall’s Law Dateline – If reader does not believe following by Francis A. Walker from DISCUSSIONS IN ECONOMICS late 1800’s, reader should probably not waste their time reading rest of this Texas Drifter writing exercise.
Walker’s words: For it is never to be forgotten that self-defense is the first law of nature and of nations. If that man who careth not for his own household is worse than an infidel, the nation which permits its institutions to be endangered by any cause which can fairly be removed is guilty not less in Christian than in natural law.
Title, “Liberty Is Responsibility, Not License” is from address by William McKinley at the dedication of the Cuyahoga county Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument at Cleveland, Ohio, July 4, 1894. Mr. McKinley was then governor of Ohio.
SUCH monuments as these have another meaning, which is one dear to our hearts of many who stand with me. It is, as Mr. Lincoln said at Gettysburg, that the dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation’s later birth of freedom and the people’s gain of their own sovereignty shall hot perish from the earth. That is what this monument means. That is the lesson of true patriotism, that what was won in war shall not be worn in peace.
But we must not forget, my fellow countrymen that the Union which these brave men preserved, and the liberties which they secured, places upon us, the living, the gravest responsibility. We are the freest government on the face of the earth. Our strength rests in our patriotism. Peace and order and security and liberty are safe so long as love of country burns in the hearts of people.
It should not be forgotten, however, that liberty does not mean lawlessness. Liberty to make our own laws does not give us license to break them. Liberty to make our own laws commands a duty to observe them ourselves and enforce obedience among all others within their jurisdiction. Liberty, my fellow citizens, is responsibility, and responsibility is duty, and that duty is to preserve the exceptional liberty we enjoy within the law and for the law and by the law.
Following observations are TRUE or FALSE?
Obama and his Marxist-fascist allies along with Republican establishment aristocrats believe that liberty is license to:
1. steal your property with excessive taxes and public debt;
2. deny your rights to be responsible for you individual actions with excessive government regulations;
3. prevent you from making and following pursuit of free will religious beliefs by using government force which causes you to support promiscuity;
4. worst of all using their liberties as a public sector license to force you to become government slaves;
5. reader’s assignment add to above list.
Above TRUE observations mean two undeniable truths: You will prove that you dislike America more than you dislike Obama by voting for any of other 2012 Presidential candidates other than Romney. Two, vote for Massa Obama is vote for government slavery.
Three closing points to this writing exercise:
1. socialism is and always has been and will be Devil’s temptations;
2. to paraphrase old country song: Texas Drifter is still proud of being a patriot when being a patriot was not cool;
3. re-stating the obvious, I am too old to learn to be a government slave; how about you reader, will you make a good government slave?
Repetition is still a good training tool this writing exercise has three such lessons:
1. Walker’s words: For it is never to be forgotten that self-defense is the first law of nature and of nations. If that man who careth not for his own household is worse than an infidel, the nation which permits its institutions to be endangered by any cause which can fairly be removed is guilty not less in Christian than in natural law.
2. It should not be forgotten, however, that liberty does not mean lawlessness…. Liberty, my fellow citizens, is responsibility, and responsibility is duty, and that duty is to preserve the exceptional liberty we enjoy within the law and for the law and by the law.
3. You will prove that you dislike America more than you dislike Obama by voting for any of other 2012 presidential candidates other than Romney. Two, vote for Massa Obama is vote for government slavery.
