Places and dates are confusing. Some towns in article aren’t shown on the lists showing precise places and dates.
Or as I always say on these threads:
Do let me know when there is a Texas governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, or elected member of the legislature campaigning for secession.

unless of course the money interests in Texas determine that exercicing their right to leave is the best course
After the past few months I’m in. You gotta jump off the Titanic at some point.
Pure fantasy.
Has a poll been done in Texas to test how popular the idea is?
“I am miserable living in this “house divided”. It is cruel for the left and right to be forced in to the same political box. There needs to be a physical divide so the two parties can split and go there separate ways.
We can do this peacefully or in a bloody civil war. I am good either way.”
Bloody civil war?
Why are you any different than Bill Ayes?
You gonna start bombing Federal buildings like McVeigh if you dont get your way?
I said we as we the people of the state. In referendum.
No you said you were ok with bloody civil war...dont try and walk it back now.
It *almost* happened in Quebec not long ago.Ditto Scotland.And as for Scotland it's said that there's a good chance it *will* happen...and soon.
Canada is never going to let Quebec secede....and Scotland is a country ,as is Ireland.
That may be true but there are numerous elected officials in both Quebec and Scotland who support secession. IOW indicative of some broad level of citizen support.
Are there any of those in Texas currently?
Maybe you are on the wrong website?
“Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government.”

If they're pulling 62 people out of Fort Worth I don't think there's exactly a groundswell of support.
I view this as the first step by sane and rational people, looking at our country today, and deciding that they must try to save their State.
You may call it surrender; but, sometimes when everything is going to hell around you; and, you have no power to change the direction; and, the insanity seems to be picking up steam; the only choice left is to retreat from the madness, wait for it to implode on itself, and then help clean up the mess.
I hate to think that this is where we are; but, looking at the headlines of the past few weeks, how can I come to any other conclusion? Just today: Capitulating to Iran, thus pretty much assuring a nuclear arms race in the Middle East (the least stable region in the world); Planned Parenthood selling aborted babies' organs. What is going on? We used to know better than this. We used to be better than this.
I think people are, generally speaking, feeling completely powerless to fight against this stuff, that they know is wrong; but, have no power to change or even challenge. So, we are hunkering down.
“I said we can do this peacefully or in a bloody Civil War. I am good either way. I am not condoning anything you twit.”
You are good either way?...yet you arent condoning what you are good with?
That doesnt even make any sence.
You are good with a bloody civil war...since that is one of the two things you are good with.
That makes you no different that Bill Aryes...I dont care what your motive is.
