Visited Texas last year (I'm from New England) and stayed with an Obama hating, gun toting, get-off-my-lawn Texan. We got along great, saw eye to eye on many things and generally were quite compatible. Proving the point that a person unlike people can be likable and reasonable on a one-to-one basis despite their different upbringing, background or political positions.

Dangerous to lump all Texans or all of any type into a category simple based on how the state tends to vote, or the media/'s perception of a state.
