South Carolina, all eyes are on you today.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and happy New Year ;)
All of members here at RedState have become quite dear to me. Yep, ALL of them..lol!!
I find it a great pleasure to be a member of the RedState Family, and wish each and every one of you the very best.
Please remember to take the time to give thanks to our Savior, Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Sincerely,

Rick Perry Bills the Federal Government $349 Million for incarcerating illegals
This is great, and what I have been thinking for some time.
The cost’s of catching, incarcerating, prosecuting…transporting… and all those damages caused by illegal immigrants including property and punitive damages… by rights should be passed directly to the Federal Government. As they hold themselves as the ONLY entity legally enabled to control the border, so goes the liability for lack thereof.
Rick Perry sent DHS Janet Napolitano a nice little letter, I would have loved to have seen the reaction.
I think this is real progress, and all of the States should scramble aboard.
I am quite certain the Federal Government is not receiving this well. I am pretty sure they will fight this tooth and nail, but common sense dictates that they have a responsibility and are liable for damages.
My first year with RedState
It has really been great. I always thought I was one of the few frothing at the mouth at our current state of affairs,k but since joining, I have discovered that I am only a piker by comparason to our senior members.
I only got thrown out once, and my indescretion was responding to some birther stuff which I recognised as good, clean fun…but that IS NOT the prevelent view…lol
My expirence thus far has been vry good, to say the least. I seem only to have a bit of trouble trying to advertise here…but taking into account some of my rather snide postings, I guess it might be understandable. I do enjoy swinging the sword and inciting violence for pure recreational reasons, but they are never ment to to be of a personal nature.
Look, I gotta shoot this bullet through your head, but you gotta understand, it ain’t me, it’s just business…and ya know how much I love ya… toodooloo..
But RedState has been a very personally rewarding expirence, and I thank you all, each and every one ESPECIALLY those who take issue with my rants and raves, because that is where we cross swords and it is the only time serious debate, growth and insight might take place.
Again, I am honored to be a part of this community, I look forward to each morning ( Every Morning ) of first straifing the news Fox, Drudge, Weasel Zippers, Hot Air and then proceeding to RedState to engauge in battle.. or mutual agreement which is more often the case..
In summary, all I can do is thank you all. Moe, Eric, Neil, and endless other contributors. I am honored to be amongst you all., and look forward to many more years of being so if Neil allows…lol
Hey, it’s my birthday. I getta say something, right?
Bottom line…RedState is GREAT!! Practically a public service, I recommend to anyone who will grant me audience. I never had so much fun with a computer.
Thanks all, and I hope you realize I am sincere in my statements. I feel that I am in the company of the true Patriots, and it is our mission to protect and defend this great country we either have been lucky enough to have been born in, or accepted by.
Sincerely…
