Howdy everyone
« on: July 06, 2009, 03:47:13 PM »
Hello all,

I am Alex from Texas, though I typically go by Ronald Reagan (whenever the username is available).  I am a college student at the University of Texas at Ausin, though I am a Republican unlike many of my classmates.  I am also straight, unlike many of my classmates.  I am just branching out to meet new people and get the hard to find Republican's point of view on many of the issues that are presented in every day news broadcasts.  God knows the Liberal perspective is not hard to come by.  With that, tally ho, and I hope to talk to you soon.  :)

Alex
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

I'm sorry that you have to put up with all of the progressives at UT. Of course, you COULD have chosen a BETTER college.......

I would have probably fit in at A&M better; however, they are just not as well-known for what I want to do... so... yeah.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I am very much enjoying it here.  I have actually seen a lot of people with their location set as Texas.  It's a good change of pace from you usual swamping of New York and California tags found elsewhere on the internet. 

Not that I have anything against those states, it's just a good change of pace.
