Is this really what FR has sunk to? Has inane seccesionist babble really replaced the elevated and intelligent political discourse that used to predominate on FR? Do anyone really think that following gems are anything other than Jr. High stupidity?

Wall of [sic] austin [sic].

We’ll have a wall around the place to keep THEM IN, with barb wire on the top, and when they get hungry enough they’ll go over the wall into the rural areas beyond... and we’ll shoot ‘em.

They better not even THINK about shooting missiles into Williamson County.

Does that mean we can build a wall around it and border checkpoints to keep the crazies in

Make it tremendously expensive to use Texas airspace and land routes to the outside world.

Permission granted. No permission to use our airspace or otherwise cross the border into Texas though.

Chicago ain’t got ‘jack’ on good ol’ Texas-style intimidation.

cut off all the power they get from powerplants located elsewhere in Texas :)

I give em 2 days in Texas heat before they come back begging to rejoin the rest of us :)

Since when is the peoples right to petition for political redress considered "inane secessionist babble"? Private citizens set forth a petition because we are pi$$ed with the route the federal government has taken.
This "counter-petition" is more in the line of Jr High stupidity than the original petition. This thread is making fun of the stupidity of the counter-petition. Personally, I wouldn't think twice if Austin isolated itself. Maybe the rest of us could get a break from their BS.
