AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"

My state as a haven for conservatism. I am for it, and would vote for secession if given the opportunity.

The constitution didn’t outlaw swcession, still doesn’t for that matter. They would not ever have got it ratified if the staes thought it was a one way deal. Interesting to note the confederate Constitution corrected this and referred to a Perpetual union. Mostly it is a copy of the U.S. Constitution. barbra ann

After what happened between 1861-65, no state will be allowed to secede again. Besides, Texas still produces a lot of oil and I don't believe that Mr. 0bama is going to forego that needed resource to help pay for his grandiose plans.

Ah, but remember, he hates American oil. So he’ll be happy to see us go, the better to usher in his green future.

I’d miss snow, too

I would never miss snow. It’s heaven to never have to put on a heavy coat, boots, gloves, worry about hypothermia if the you have no heat or car breaks down. Perfection is when the temp never reaches freezing.

If they did secede, we would probably move there.

Presidential material today appears to be if you have Saudi money backing you, you refuse to release your birth certificate, you suck up to Islamic terrorists, you want to bankrupt the USA in 6 months or less, etc.

and you....

...have long term friendships with terrorists, communists,criminals and American hating preachers...

...hate the Constitution, liberty, freedom and capitalism...

....you have no experience and can only read from a teleprompter...

...are a pathological liar...

...are a radical American-hating communist...

..etc..etc..

Texas is at the top of the list for our next move.

What place could be better?

I am a mid-westerner by birth, but have lived most of my adult life in Texas. At heart, I consider myself a Texan. Now that I have a really great job, we are looking at relocating back to Texas in 5-7 years. As for now, we are Texans-in-excile due to family and job.

God Bless Texas, their values reflect mine. Let me defend my home with lethal force, and let me defend my neighbor’s home with the same force, too. Any state that lets me blast the bad guys with impunity, is a state I want to be a member of.

Texas. You just have to set your A/C to 78F when it’s 96 outside. =)

My parents moved to Texas from Chicago 40 years ago. When I ask them about moving back north, they laugh and say, “Never!”

In Houston we pretty much have great weather except for July, August, September when it’s really hot. Once the first real cool front hits at the end of September, the weather is great all the way through June again. It’s about 3 months of hot, 7 months of just-plain-nice, and 2 months of cold.

Thanks for reminding me about the scorpions. I forgot the tarantulas and fiddleback spiders too. Oh, and those giant flying roach things they have around Houston. That should keep them away, lol.

“I don’t love their weather...”

In what part? It varies widely from one part of the state to another, ya know.
