Bookmark and thanks for your graphic on post 71, it explains alot.

I hope you had a merry Christmas and have a prosperous new year!

I hope you Texans keep your Governor's feet to the fire. It seems this Administration's m.o. to go after Texas in the most negatively impacting ways.

Oh, and if you split off from the States, can I have an invite? I have a couple references from my service days from Texas ;)

enumerates certain, specific, limited powers to the federal government. Everything else, you see, is left to the states.

It's time for the states to start refusing to cooperate and exercise those rights. It they don't, I'm telling you, this country is doomed.

[mojitojoe]

Surprised at MS and LA.

[Mark17]

Agreed... write your congressman... although I doubt they will care enough to read your concerns.

Many people call them, and the staffers hang up on them if their position does not agree with the politician's.

We might have to give in in the end, but at least we’ll
go down with a fight! We need to win this battle! The EPA
has seriously over-reached!

[unixfox]

Although, Texas (and Texans) could probably survive without federal funds for many projects.

Screw the Feds. We've got enough oil and other resources we don't need them.

However, they do need us. I'd let the bastards freeze in the dark if it were up to me.

I’ve got General John C. Calhoun (South) and General John C. Caldwell (North) blood running through my veins, but I’ve always sided with the South, and would gladly put my deeds behind those words if ever given the honor.

I just got to have one of those T-shirts!

Perry’s definitely a literal RINO - he switched from RAT - but Greg Abbott’s the real deal. Think he’s even a FReeper.

If Perry MUST take POTUS, I’d be thrilled, ecstatic if Abbott took the Governorship.

[SouthTexas]

That’s the one!

[Sir Beowolf]

From What I heard, Texas is one state that can divide into 7 Republics.Which would earn Two senators per Republics. true or False?

[Frantzie]

If Perry was not a open-borders RINO he would push it. Maybe he will try but I doubt it.

[txhurl]

5. We lost our ‘legal’ right to secede when we cut the deal to re-enter the union, but we reserved the right to split into 5 sub-states, each with 2 senators. If push ever really came to shove we could take back the Senate.

RINO Bush clan. I did a lot to get GW elected making thousands of GOTV calls because Kerry was a disgusting POS who dishonored Vietnam Vets. Still - the Bush clan are one worlder RINOs.

Pete DuPont would have been a much better President than Poppy.

Hussein is a Saudi puppet. His job is to islamify America and to make us permanent energy serfs/dhiminis to the Saudis who pretty much control the 6 US TV networks.

[bert]

You are completely and totally misinformed, misguided and ignorant.

Your cessation of TV has left you deprived and deluded

[Chickensoup]

Whatever happened to the Arizona governor? Never hear about her anymore.

Did they get to her?

Did she back down?

Is she being ignored?

[Nowhere Man]

(What can a state do if it loses in court?)

Tell the Feds to wiz up a rope?

[austingirl]

What can we do? Secede!
