What is the Texas CONgress critter Shiela Jackson-Lee doing in Pakistan? The CONgress Critter claims she went there to “ensure the fairness of the elections”. Fairness! It is not fair that the very thugs she and her fellow CONgress critters marched for in Jena, Louisiana beat up a Texas student. It was not fair that the votes for Texas to join and rejoin the Union were conducted under the scrutiny of armed Yankee troops in 1845 and the 1860’s.
It was not fair that the Constitution was violated when the territories of Colorado and New Mexico were stolen from Texas. It was not fair that Texas had to pay for border protection from 1845 until 1888, because the United States refused to honor their promises. Now they pay for border protection, but then don’t protect it. We had better border protection when we did it ourselves.
Instead of dealing with historic or even modern unfairness in her own State, it is easier to pick on some Middle Eastern country and make sure they play fair. Somewhere the priorities of this CONgress critter were shorted out. This is a clear case of misplaced priorities. How many other people here in our nation will be hurt so that she can watch elections and have photo ops in Pakistan?
Free Texas from such inane insanity.
