A former member of the Texas Legislature and current Republican nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Sid Miller, has himself some powerful strong feelings.  By his own admission, he does not have much knowledge but boy howdy! his feelings run deep.

Sid especially doesn’t like what’s happening on the border.  He doesn’t live there, of course.  The truth is that Sid Miller lives closer to Tulsa, Oklahoma, than he does Laredo, closer to Roswell, New Mexico, than Brownsville, and a helluva lot closer to Wichita, Missouri, than El Paso.  Lawmakers who actually live on the border aren’t worried by bygawd Sid Miller is.

So much so that he issued this statement:

“I’m not a lawyer, I don’t know what the legal definition of ‘invasion’ is … but in this cowboy’s definition, we’re being invaded.”

One of my state representative friends once told me, “Ole Sid would have to study-up to be an imbecile.”

However, Sid has an idea to solve this invasion problem.

“We should invoke Article 1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution, which talks about the federal government having the sole responsibility of securing our border, protecting our people … with one exception.  The last sentence of the Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution says that if a state is invaded or attacked, those rights also revert to the states to take matters into their own hands.”

Now I want you to ponder for a minute about what matters you would be willing to put in Sid Miller’s hands?  Hell, this is a man who can’t operate a dictionary.

I have to tell something else pretty disgusting about Sid Miller.  He’s a cruel sumbitch.

Miller, a rancher, received a warning from the American Quarter Horse Association last year for tethering three of his horses to the back of a trailer and exercising them by driving slowly in circles, a practice many consider dangerous, The Dallas Morning News reported in December.

And …

Miller, a former Republican representative from Stephenville, offered bills in 2003 and 2007 that would have allowed the sale of horse meat for consumption in foreign countries.

And he wants to go control the “invasion” on the border?  Hell, at least Mitt Romney just put Seamus on the roof of the car.  He didn’t eat him afterwards.
