GOD BLESSED TEXAS!
When God created the world for human kind to prosper & multiply, He decided to give each group two (2) virtues.
As an example, He made the Japanese patient & hardworking,
He made the Germans tenacious & studious,
He made the Americans organized & pragmatic,
and so on.
When GOD considered Texans, He told the record-keeping angel, “Texans are going to be intelligent, honest, & democrats.”
When GOD finished creating the world, the angel noticed that GOD had given every group two (2) virtues except the Texans, who had received three.
The angel thought that this would give the Texans an unfair advantage over the other groups of human beings. He pointed this out to GOD.
GOD said, “Oh, my goodness, you are certainly right, but since virtues given by GOD cannot be changed, we shall do the following:
From now on Texans will keep three (3) virtues, however, they can only use two (2) at a time.”
This dictum explains why:
A Texan, who is a democrat & honest, cannot be intelligent.
A Texan who is intelligent & democrat, cannot be honest.
AND A TEXAN WHO IS INTELLIGENT & HONEST, CAN NEVER BE A DEMOCRAT!!!
This explains why the majority Texans are REPUBLICANS.
