Congressman calls labeling of Texas & Utah as hostile states "suspicious"
Congressman Louie Gohmert has called for changes to the Jade Helm military exercise, arguing that the labeling of Texas and Utah as “hostile” states in Army documents related to the drill is “suspicious,” while suggesting that the federal government is trying to “provoke a fight” with citizens.
In a piece published by the Highland County Press, Gohmert, who is Vice Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, suggests that the Utah and Texas may have been labeled negatively because they are red states.
“Once I observed the map depicting “hostile,” “permissive” and “uncertain” states and locations, I was rather appalled that the hostile areas amazingly have a Republican majority and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution,” writes Gohmert.

Louie has gone looney.
With the public's disdain for the government right now, this is picking a fight they will lose!
They may win the battle by killing their fellow citizens and start another revolt!
Nuke Obama
whipping up the Bubba effect :(
Gohmert,what a tool.
Could we just give Texas back to Mexico? This country would be so much better off.
7:20 Make sure the Bushs are included in that gift.
Texas won it's freedom from Mexico and became an independent republic. Then it decided to join the US for numerous reasons. Now, if it should decide to go back to being an independent republic I just might move. Maryland is a sinking ship that I'm not sure can be saved. Though Governor Hogan will give it a good try.
