We're hearing a lot of talk about secession here in Texas.
Are you now?
Someone last week kinda deflated the idea, saying that the legislature was ‘rat infested.
There is a lot of support for your state in other states!
'Course we'd give Austin back. SF on the Colorado.
I'm jumping on board with this. Texas can do a better job governing and defending Texas than Washington DC can. When I hear our politicians say they are waiting on Washington to beef up border security, I want to scream. If they won't do it, we should do it ourselves.
Well, it's been a number of years since last I taught American History (having been caught up since in teaching A.P. American Government) but IIRC Texas is the only state in the union that was actually it's own sovereign nation before it was a state. Supposedly it has as a part of it's own Constitution or state law that if the Union acts in contravention of the laws of man and God that secession is almost automatic and assured. Don't know if that's the exact wording, but that's the gist.
