Socialist Government Snowplows Descend On Midland-Odessa
Above and below are Texas Department of Transportation photos of snowplows at work in the Midland-Odessa area.
Here is the caption with photo you see above—
“TxDot Odessa District crews plow the roads after receiving a record snowfall on January 9-10, 2012, and work tirelessly to clear roads and bridges.”
Government at work even in very conservative parts of our Great State of Texas.
The people of Midland-Odessa are not tough enough and hard-working enough to overcome this obstacle? No citizen-volunteers have formed teams to come and get the snow off the roads?
Maybe it is only people someplace else, and people unlike however folks perceive themselves in conservative parts of the nation, who rely on government in a bad way.
Here are facts about snow from the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
Here is a history of snow removal.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Wow, that straw man never knew what hit him. You keep slayin’ em, Neil!
You mean like President Reagan’s alleged Welfare Queens or the endless cries that socialism will be taking over the land?
A straw man followed up by a tu quoque is disappointing.
I don’t think you would be allowed to use that word in a Scrabble game.
