Is this REALLY something Texas wants to do?

On CNN - Texas sets aside Chris Kyle day in honor of American sniper.

TEXAS, WANTS TO "HONOR" A SNIPER??!!!

AHEM, EXCUSE ME, BUT DIDN'T WE LOSE A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN TEXAS BECAUSE OF A SNIPER? ( REALLY, SEVERAL SNIPERS? )



DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BRING ATTENTION TO "A SNIPER" IN TEXAS?

HELLOO IS ANYONE HOME IN TEXAS?

This is beyond ridiculous that this kid is being used in death in a partisan bullshit campaign to deny the reality that America really LOST both wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But no one wants to admit that.  We're going to pretend we won! Because that's more fun.

The Taliban still exist, Al Qaeda still exists, this new name for old thugs, ISIS, are beheading people, again, and again, and again, but ignore all of that. Ignore the ISIS taunts trying to lure American troops back into Iraq. Ignore that.  And there are idiots all over the internet telling you the beheadings are all fake. They're "false flag," and blah, blah, blah, bullshit.  So, that will help you forget about the victims. It'll help you ignore it all.

And it helps us forget November 22, 1963.  And we can feel good about Dallas too. Unbelievable.

CNN – Texas is setting aside Monday to honor Chris Kyle, the U.S. Navy SEAL marksman depicted in the film, “American Sniper.”

Kyle became a legend in military circles due to his 160 confirmed kills, and developed a deadly reputation in Iraq, where he served several times.  He’s considered one of the most lethal snipers in U.S. history.

“I have declared February 2, to be Chris Kyle Day in Texas,” Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted. “We honor our military heroes.”

During his speech at a Texas veterans event Friday, the governor described him as “a man who defended his brothers and sisters in arms on and off the battlefield.”

Thousands mourned him in his home state, lining a 200-miles funeral procession to his final resting place in Austin and attending a memorial service at Texas Stadium in Dallas.

His popularity did not end there.

Clint Eastwood’s film raked in $107 million over its first weekend on wide release this month – an unprecedented haul for an R-rated drama in the middle of winter.

The movie was distributed by Warner Bros., which is owned by Time Warner, the parent company of CNN.

And as the movie draws huge crowds to theatre nationwide, Texas is paying tribute to its son.

The west Texas native attended Tarleton State University in Stephenville after graduating from high school in 1992.

He left college after two years to work as a ranch hand and later joined the Navy in 1999.

Actor Bradley Cooper portrayed Kyle in the movie, a depictions the wife of the late sniper described as uncanny.

“Bradley did an amazing job and I truly don’t believe there’s anybody who could have done it better,” Taya Kyle told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
