Texas really is a great state. Unfortunately most of the world doesn't realize it because of this kind of embarassing shit. Seriously come to Austin and see that not all of Texas fits these negative stereotypes. This is a big state with a lot to offer and many great people.

I have to agree. Austin is pretty liberal and we love diversity. A slogan you see often here is, "Keep Austin Weird". It takes all kinds and we have them all!!!

My impression was that Austin was something of an island in a sea of right-wing, bigger-than-thou shitkicking. That said, Austin is a great place even if the rest of the state is terrifying.
