Aside from Rick Perry’s comment being the start of my talking about secession. I believe I was quite clear that I think ALL the red states should seceed. I never once mentioned Texas going it alone.
Yes, did you see how little change took place in Texas?
Define Red State? Texas is in reality divided. If we really did secede I am positive that we would have an internal Civil War. Plus even if the other “Red” States came along, what I wrote on the previous post still stands. The smaller weaker states are screwed. It happened in the War of Northern Aggression and it will happen in any other war. Somebody has to be Belgium.
I don’t mean to piss on your parade and having a discussion is very important. I just hope the keyboard warriors will step outside their first world ivory towers and understand that such an action will not be like standing around eating fried Oreo ice cream while pretty young girls in white dresses sing The Yellow Rose of Texas and farting blue bonnets.
We have a lot to lose. Are you willing to lose it? Are you willing to cast vote that determines the lives of millions? If you are please do so by dispensing of hotheadedness and do so with a clear sober mind.
In my mind we are losing "it" anyway. Might as well try to go it alone, peacefully. These Yankees want us to go, by the way. These are not your Great-Great Grandfather's Yankee's. They are totally wussified.
I would suggest Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin for portraits on two of the bills. And the Alamo and USS Texas would have to be there too.
But I reccomend using the GOLD standard unlike the USA.
secession is the nonsense the enemies of america are rejoicing about.
The foreign media is already discussing hwo the USA will be a divided up nation in less than 20 years. (ala weather underground)
If anything texas should TAKE OVER the USA.
(just don’t move the capitol to houston)
I have already contacted Perry, state Senator and State representative to get the ball rolling.
People need to get theuir voices heard on this.
No use in getting ahold of our US Senators Cornyn or Hutchison.
Both have drunk the DC tea and have been polluted.
great find.
Dramatically captures why the feds and the littel NE states will fight us.
Want to see the economic impact of Texas. Look at this Job Loss Map.

That map displays graphically why the “blue” states (who are really red as in Commie) are so behind marxism. Without it they loose the game.
It also displays how much more stable the heartland is than the rest of the nation. Look at the Blue in Texas.
Population centers on the East and West Coast are the Big Losers.
You've got it half right. What you're failing to recognize is that Texas was admitted to the Union not once, but twice. When Texas was readmitted to the union during reconstruction, the old terms became null and void.
Well said. If Texas were to take up arms against my country, I would take up arms against Texas. I’m an American first, period.
More recent, but in the same vein.
Can you quote the document that gives Texas that right?
