Subject: FW: Democrat, Republican or Texan?
Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Texan?



Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife
and two small children.

Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner, locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the
knife, and charges at you.

You are carrying a Glock
cal 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere
seconds before he reaches you and your family. What
do you do?

Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done

anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we

run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife

out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am

I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message

does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible

he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want

to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were

to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while

he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street

so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and

weed day and make this happier, healthier street that

would discourage such behavior. This is all so

confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for

few days and try to come to a consensus.


Republican's Answer:
BANG!



Texan' s Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading)
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the
Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?'
Son: 'Can I shoot the next one!'
Wife: 'You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist
