  1. If you come to Waskom to beat us in football go to Jim's BBQ before the game, they are pretty good. They may not be open after the game
  2. Freedom to do what, I live in a town that is dry am I limiting a persons right to partake of alcohol, no, you just can't buy it here but you can a few miles down. The people of North Carolina spoke!!!! You call it limiting their freedom, I call it democracy.
  3. This is not religious chat but there is a lot of sins out there and I believe this is just one of them. I am not in the business of judging anyone but if given the chance to vote my moral convictions I will.
  4. Probably, I think George was after a little revenge, but I don't know, Iran was more a threat than Iraq even though Iraq was thumbing its nose at the UN. Can't blame them for that though,the UN is one of the biggest mistakes this country ever conceived of.

  6. I believe many people who support same-sex marriage sincerely believe that they are merely expanding an institution to a class of people who have been excluded from it rather than redefining it. But this view is simply mistaken. We will not make our society more civilized by detaching one of our central institutions from its civilizing task and that is the marriage of a man and woman.
  7. You don't have the freedom to do whatever you want. Homosexuals are free to be homosexuals and are free to marry in other states. Those states where not allowed to vote on the issue though, so I am mad about that.
  8. No marriage for Homosexuals in North Carolina, seems to make them unhappy to me. Gay is a definition high jacked by Homosexuals. They are homosexuals not gay.
  9. Old Shep,don't watch him but certainly don't need any advice from him.
  10. I have always knew they where hiding aliens out there.
  11. Smart thing to do was wait until after the election. The homosexual vote might bring in some money but it doesn't deliver that many votes, besides the homosexuals know who supports their cause anyhow.
  12. San Antonio - The Eagle Ford Shale has been touted as a modern-day Spindletop, and a study released Wednesday underscored that view. The vast oil and gas play in South Texas contributed $25 bil-lion in total economic output to a 20-county South Texas region last year and provided 47,097 full-time jobs, according to a study by the Center for Community and Business Research at the University of Texas at San Antonio's Institute for Economic Development. In a single year - 2011 - the shale development added almost as much economic oomph to South Texas as an earlier UTSA study predicted would occur over nearly a decade. That earlier projection estimated the Eagle Ford would account directly and indirectly for almost $21.5 billion in economic output by 2020. The new study estimates the shale will create 117,000 jobs by 2021, more than one-and-a-half times the 68,000 full-time jobs the earlier study had projected. Thomas Tunstall, director of UTSA's research center and the study's lead investigator, said Wednesday's study is the "first chapter" in its look at the shale. In late summer, the center will look at workforce issues and a third installment will provide more detailed county-by-county data. UTSA officials said the earlier study was conservative, as is the current one. But shale production "has far exceeded the expectations outlined in the initial report because of rapidly evolving business activity," the study said. "The Eagle Ford will ensure growth for our community for decades to come," said Curt Anastasio, CEO of San Antonio-based pipeline company NuStar Energy, who moderated a presentation of the study. A frenzy of drilling is sparking the boom. Oil production in the Eagle Ford increased more than sixfold in 2011 from 2010, and natural gas production more than doubled in the same period, UTSA estimated using Railroad Commission data. UTSA officials stressed the new study is a new "baseline" look at the effect of drilling in the shale. The current study examined 14 counties directly affected by drilling, along with six counties indirectly involved in the development. America's Natural Gas Alliance paid $90,000 for the study. In the 20-county region, the study estimated that $3.1 billion in salaries and benefits were paid to workers last year, and the shale impact amounted to $12.6 billion in gross regional product. Also in the 20-county region, $257 million went into the coffers of local governments, while $358 million went to the state, including $120.4 million in severance taxes paid by drilling companies on production. The 20-county region consists of Atascosa, Bee, DeWitt, Dimmit, Frio, Gonzales, Karnes, La Salle, Live Oak, Maverick, McMullen, Webb, Wilson and Zavala counties, along with six counties that benefit from the drilling but don't have production: Bexar, Jim Wells, Nueces, San Patricio, Uvalde and Victoria. In the 14 counties directly affected, total economic impact last year was estimated to be almost $20 billion, while the development supported 38,000 full-time jobs and added $211 million to local government revenue. And all the shale drilling translated to fatter paychecks. Most of the counties saw average weekly wages jump from $450 to $550 a week to $600 to $700 a week, UTSA's Tunstall said. The growing importance of the shale was evident by the number of officials who attended the luncheon, including San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, UTSA President Ricardo Romo, Texas House Speaker Joe Straus and Railroad Commissioner David Porter. Earlier Wednesday, at a Real Estate Council of San Antonio breakfast at the Petroleum Club, Adam Haynes, senior director for corporate development and government relations at Chesapeake Energy Corp., estimated there's at least 30 years of production in the Eagle Ford Shale. Mark Witt, vice president and CFO of San Antonio-based Lewis Energy Group, said the natural gas production company has 1,000 employees and plans to add another 350 this year, with 50 of those jobs at its corporate headquarters.
  13. Oh no.....LOL That does mess my head up thinking about it.

  17. Marriage licenses are issued by the state for a man and woman, if the homosexuals want to be married let them pretend they are married. Those folks won't be happy after the fact either, they are by nature unhappy.
  18. They have a choice to change party's, maybe they can join the rainbow coalition
  19. Social politics has always been part of the process, and it doesn't taint it one bit. Homosexuality is not a big deal it is the homosexuals who are making it so.
  20. Republicans don't have to do anything with them. If homosexual marriage is their number one issue they need to vote democrat, the people of North Carolina has spoken for their state. I suppose homosexual republicans who want to get married need to move up north. As far as homosexual republicans I dare say that most don't give a hoot about marriage, only the activist
