If you want to get a glimpse of the future of the U.S., check out Fort Worth, TX. Never mind the cowboy boots, but you might want to practice your Spanish.
Texas is growing explosively and much of that growth is among Latinos. The latest Census Bureau figures show the Lone Star State grew by 20%, to over 25 million people, recording about a quarter of the nation’s overall growth. The rate of growth was twice the national average. The implications are huge politically, as Texas stands to gain 4 new Congressional seats from this expansion, and Hispanic leaders want in.
If what Texas is becoming is what America will be like, then be afraid. Be very afraid. Texas is firmly in control of the ultra-right religious nutjobs. And that ain't the worst of it.

The Texas House opened the conversation on state spending Tuesday with a $156.4 billion budget that's $31.1 billion smaller than its predecessor, a drop of 16.6 percent from the current two-year spending plan. The cuts are deep, but the proposed budget doesn't call for an increase in taxes or tapping the state's $9.4 billion Rainy Day Fund. The budget was released to legislators on Tuesday night and is now available to the public online (http://www.lbb.state.tx.us/Support_File/Recent_Additions.htm - broken link). The Senate will follow with a proposal of its own next week — lawmakers say the differences are relatively small. And Gov. Rick Perry says he'll follow with his own proposal before his State of the State speech in the first week of February.

One thing I like about secular liberals is they are really supportive about maximizing the growth of hispanic evangelical Catholics. When America has a 40% Catholic base I'm curious how that will swap politics.
As long as they're not white Catholics I suppose it's wonderful.
Oh, TX also ranks among the top ten states for highest crime rates. AZ and NM are also on the list. Guess what those states have in common?
I see Mexico and the United States getting closer politically and culturally as the percentage of Americans who are of Mexican ethnicity increase. I think the two countries will merge in the very near future. I"m looking forward to such an event. It has been so long since we added more stars to Old Glory.
