Well, this is actually a very timely topic and most certainly isn't a parody (although it ought to be). It appears now that our terrific new governor (I mean, let's face it, Rick Perry is a tough act to follow but this is a really great move that rivals some of the Rickster's greater achievements by a long shot!) is really wary of some very suspicious US military exercises that are taking place near the town of Bastrop (which basically is just a place for weary travelers on their way from Houston to Austin to stop and take a ****). Now, after Alex Jones got some of the local residents all riled up about a possible move on behalf of the communist socialist fascist Marxist Kenyan Muslim Obama administration to possibly try to impose martial-law here in the Lone Star State to try to keep us rough and rowdy Texans in line at long last, Governor Abbott became very alarmed and decided to send the Texas State Guard (aka the militia) out to keep an eye on these possible "invaders". Now, I don't like to stereotype but I'm just sayin'....if you take a good look at some of the people who showed up to protest Obama's blatant aggression against all us good ol' boys I think you can get a pretty good idea of the level of mentality that's fueling this. Why we'll run all y'all outta heah, *** gummit! This here's Texus by golly!! Now....go on....git!! :ak47:
The ultimate irony is there are enough troops and weaponry permanently present at military installations across Texas to conquer half the world. Man....I love Texas....I really do.... but this type of tinfoil-hat stuff is just downright embarrassing!

So, to answer the OP's question....ultimately, Texas belongs to Texans....and don't make us prove it!
