If Obama can be president without proving he’s a natural born citizen of the U.S., then we have a right to secede.

Thirty-one percent (31%) of Texas voters say that their state has the right to secede from the United States and form an independent country. Someone inform Geraldo Rivera.

I thought the right to secede was part of Texas’ agreement when they entered the Union ... not subject to opinion. Do I have this wrong, or are they really saying 69% of Texans don’t know their rights?

“Overall, seven percent (7%) of Texas voters have views that align with Americas Political Class or lean in that direction”
“the same as the national average”, apparently.
There is a “Political Class”, that has “Aligned Views”, and this is fine, we’re talking about that now?

You have it wrong. So does Gov. Perry (surprise, surprise. The deal was that Texas could split into, I believe, five separate states. The purpose being to increase its “territorial” voice in Congress. As recently as the 1930s, John Nance Garner tried to arrange just that.

I think that was about the same poll numbers that the Tar-heels of North Carolina had in 1860 and early 1861. And boy how quickly the Federals changed that poll around? Them same Tar-heels eventually fielded the some of meanest hard fightingest sons-a-#itches in the war. And I'm proud as hell my ancestors were among them.

Most of them were from probably from Mexico and didn’t want to live in a country with secure borders.

31% of Texans are too stupid to realize that their state cannot secede from the Union.

No one could agree on which of the 5 new states would get the Alamo.
There was talk in the 70’s of carving a Hispanic state out of Texas but some Hispanic leaders argued that the Anglos practice of birth control and abortion would give Hispanics the majority in only a few years and thus they would have all of Texas.
