That's a line from Dr. Strangelove about (and from) the insane General who sent the bombers under his control to nuke the USSR. So, are you implying all Texans are insane or just RSE? And why is that not a attack? Most people would not look favorably upon being implied to be insane. Just a joke? Then it's in the same class as a bully pushing a little kid into the mud for grins.

Why is your opinion sacred? Why is it worth more than mine? This is the nub.
