Big State, Only 1 Natural Lake!
The State of Texas has many beautiful lakes on which to boat, swim, and fish. However, only one of them - CADDO LAKE - is natural. Caddo Lake is found in East Texas and along (and into) the State of Louisiana.
All other lakes are either the work of the Army Corps of Engineers, or are just a narrowing in existing rivers (example: Sabine Lake on the Sabine River).

McCarthyism at its best
This is McCarthyism at its best!!!!!!!
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency.
It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
-- Author Unknown
What you read was some thing that only a person with hate in his or her heart could think.What a shame to go through life with that negative attitude.This American has had enough of all the HATE that people like Ann Colter,Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh an Glen Beck has promoted.Because we are a country of free speech there are times we have to tolerate people like that . But there comes a time as it did with Joseph McCarthy that they are exposed for what they are An now is the time for these losers.

JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT 101
Into the hands of every individual is given a marvellous power for good or for evil,the silent, unconscious,unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what a man really is, not what he pretends to be. Every man, by his mere living, is radiating sympathy, or sorrow, or morbidness, or cynicism, or happiness, or hope, or any of a hundred other qualities. Life is a state of constant radiation and absorption; to exist is to radiate; to exist is to be the recipient of radiations.

JUST A THOUGHT
Everything that is great in life is the product of slow growth; the newer, and greater, and higher, and nobler the work, the slower is its growth, the surer is its lasting success. Mushrooms attain heir full power in a night; oaks require decades. A fad lives its life in a few weeks; a philosophy lives through generations and centuries. If you are sure you are right, do not let the voice of the world, or of friends, or of family swerve you for a moment from your purpose. Accept slow growth if it must be slow, and know the results must come, as you would accept the long, lonely hours of the night,--with absolute assurance that the heavy-leaded moments must bring the morning.
JUST A THOUGHT
Calmness is the rarest quality in human life. It is the poise of a great nature, in harmony with itself and its ideals. It is the moral atmosphere of a life self-centred, self-reliant, and self-controlled. Calmness is singleness of purpose, absolute confidence, and conscious power,--ready to be focused in an instant to meet any crisis. Calmness comes ever from within. It is the peace and restfulness of the depths of our nature. The fury of storm and of wind agitate only the surface of the sea; they can penetrate only two or three hundred feet,--below that is the calm, unruffled deep. To be ready for the great crises of life we must learn serenity in our daily living. Calmness is the crown of self-control.
