  Now THAT's independent/free thinking!  I don't think those radicals on Fox News would make that claim!  Although I would disagree with you, the argument would be interesting.  

  Very true and interesting article.  Pop quiz:  How many of the "southern democrats" who voted against the Civil Rights legislation later migrated to the Republican party? 

In point of fact, it could be argued that Lincoln supported and/or spearheaded multiple "entitlement programs" during his time in office. However, I suppose it is impossible to say with certainly which of today's programs he would have supported and which he would oppose. But perhaps his singular greatest cause was civil rights. I just find it humorous that republicans still cling to Lincoln as if the parties have not, by and large, completely flipped ideologies. I assumed this was common knowledge.

If you seriously need this to understand my assertion, I would think you are not accustomed to independent thinking. I will assume this is posted in jest. If not, there are probably hundreds of pieces written on this topic that can be found on a search engine of your choice. And I am certain they are written with far more eloquence than I could muster.

"2. The Democrat Party is the party of the Ku Klux Clan, and Abraham Lincoln (who freed the slaves) was a Republican, so don't tell me how the republicans have oppressed your people. " The KKK and the Aryan Brotherhood are all staunch GOP'ers now. They have been quoted as saying, "We didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left us." And anyone with a firm grasp of history knows that Lincoln would be more aligned with today's Democratic Party than Republicans.

I agree with you. There is no doubt you and President Obama are philosophically at different ends of the spectrum. And I can appreciate your point. I would be terribly offended if I were called a racist for not supporting Herman Cain or for my belief that Clarence Thomas is a horrible excuse for a Supreme Court justice.

Texas State at 74 nationally is pretty impressive by the way. Will continue to climb IMO too.

That's not true at all. And I very much believe there are racists of all colors and ethnicities. It is wrong no matter which "direction it goes." Your example of the Ozen situation with TS is well taken and disappointing. However, you and I have not been subjected to the kind of racism that our brothers and sisters of color have experienced. And I am not one to deflect in every thread by using instances (or alleged instances) of racism by African Americans. It reminds me too much of my children pointing out something their sibling did when I am disciplining them for their misdeeds.

Get back to me when an SEC school outearns The University of Texas. I won't hold my breath.

Now how do you know that's why she voted for him? She already stated she voted for Clinton, and other democratic nominees so why wouldn't it be based upon HIS platform and the fact that ideologically, she's a democrat. My guess is that she would vote for either Clinton against Herman Cain. Do you think Ted Cruz or Rubio will get all or even the majority of Hispanic vote? Stereotyping based upon race is a dangerous slope and often rooted in ignorance IMO.

Why we gotta be in the closet Dove?

Let's be fair to the other applicant's, AAW. Exactly whose credentials WOULDN'T be far inferior to TS's? Bob Hurley, Sr.?

😴 nothing to see here. Still the king... In other news, the SEC was able to outearn The University of Texas as a conference. Baby steps...

However, I can't imagine a school in the state (or probably the country) that had an open head basketball coach position that wouldn't LOVE to have "TS."

But for argument's sake, mightn't there have been a reason that was not racially motivated?  For instance, since BISD is an "open" district, suppose there were Central supporters on the committee that did not want to see Ozen become the completely dominant basketball program in Beaumont.  I have no idea either way since I was not even aware he had interviewed.  Just wondering aloud.

  Man, didn't know this.  Would love to have seen what he could do with that talent.

😂

Someone forgot to beat the first Texas team they faced...

Texas would actually probably prefer playing in Houston. As espn reminded everyone incessantly, horns are a much better road team.

"t.u." would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for resuming your role as second fiddle...

Tech moving on with a shutout of the Canes! First ever super regional in Lubbock??

Oh I forgot those two you found last summer. Wonder why they didn't find the fourth one?

  Yet equaled the number of national championships in the history of Aggie Football... 

Was just thinking the same thing - guy is absolutely awful. Those weren't even close.

Yes he has. Great kid too.
