Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Texaspartan.
What’s the story behind your name? I live in Texas and I have a deep appreciation for the Spartan way of thinking. The only difference between Thermopylae and The Alamo is that The Alamo didn’t send any messengers
Where do you live? I live in Lubbock… the high ground of Texas. It is also known as “God’s Country. God made it, no one wanted it and God still has it”
How old are you? 37 and a few months, but my wife says I don’t act it. Probably because I can quote the movie “Army of Darkness” verbatim.
Tell us briefly about yourself. Husband, father and dog owner. I like hunting and reading books about martial arts. I try not to watch a lot of TV, mainly because there isn’t much worth watching. I did write a TV pilot and about eight episodes, but no one picked it up. Maybe that is why I don’t think there is much out there worth watching.
How long have you been reading IMAO? About a year. I didn’t mark the date on my calendar so I may have missed the anniversary. Sorry.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Lolterizt. Them guys is funny!!!!
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Tasteful yet unrefined.
What’s your favorite political issue? Illegal immigration and gun owner’s rights. I am all in favor of taking the best that other countries can offer and letting them work for a home and happiness here as long as they do it legally. If you come in unannounced and uninvited you just might get shot, just like someone breaking into a home, which of course leads to the rights of gun owners. See how it makes a nice little circle?
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Nope. I don’t have enough time in the day to spend with my wife and kids so I give them all the time I’ve got.
What state should be first in the Republican presidential primary and why? Texas (knew that was coming didn’t you). Other than Austin, most of the people here are fairly conservative in their mind set. If you really wanted to get the best and most conservative candidate we would be pretty good at weeding out the pretenders. GO FRED!!!
If you commented in the last post asking for entrants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated thus far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.

Of course everyone knows Bowie’s last words were “This is THE ALAMO!”
There’s nothing at all wrong with being able to quote Army of Darkness verbatim. Personally, I think people who can’t are the weird ones.
Sometimes I think my brother and I are the only ones who really watched that movie. It’s nice to run into someone else who appreciates that great movie.
it’s very true. Texass pwns other states in basically all ways. Yes, that typo was intentional.
Pleased to hear your story, Texaspartan, especially after enjoying your comments all this time.
Correction. Colonel Travis sent at least two messengers to General Houston and at least one messenger to Goliad.

Yep. I can, and I’m a chick. So all the males out there who can’t have no excuse.
Never ask a man if he’s from Texas. If he is, he’ll tell you on his own. If he ain’t, no need to embarrass him. Heh
It makes me just as Happy as a gopher in soft dirt tuh welcome yuh in, Ronin.
But thet’s a whole nuther thing, ain’t it?
