""What happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas anymore." That truth is delivered by the "New York Times" columnist and best-selling author Collins, who always thought of the country as two liberal coasts flanking a Republican heartland (she herself is from Ohio). Lately, she has come to understand that the country's entire political agenda has been set by Texas, where a conservative ideology supporting deregulation, lowered environmental protections, tax cuts, and a states' rights approach has been championed by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and now Rick Perry and has been thrust on the entire nation. To understand what's going on here, we need to look at Texas. All set to raise both cheers and hackles."
