Tennesseans are already Honorary Texans-They earned it at the Alamo-

Why Oklahoma?
From what I understand, Barry carried NO counties in OK in 2008 at least.
Yeah, some people, even FReepers, get really upset over the idea of a crab escaping the bucket.
Leftists, I can understand. They can’t stand the thought of someone escaping their tyrannical grip.
Does anyone doubt that Obama and his administration of Constitution Haters would rather bomb Americans, and Texas in particular, than muslim terrorists and ISIS?
It would not be the first time a member of my clan made it their call. And last time we won.
No. The whole idea is to create a better whole from the parts. You cannot just pick up your toys and go play.
And where all you turn for trade? Mexico? Half of Mexico is already in Texas.
The whole was only formed
AT THE CONSENT OF THE PARTS.
Consent can inherently be withdrawn.
The sovereignty of the state superceded the sovereignty of the “whole”.
And why would the remaining states not trade with the Republic of Texas? I’m sure they’d give us some good deals.
Didn't turn out very well, did it?
That’s the point. Once Texas secedes, the whole thing unravels.
Do you realize how many of Uncle Sugar's swat team are from Texas?
There was a Republic of Texas though, an independent country.
What about the Atzlan border disputes?
They don't have to assimilate, we just keep 'em in Austin. Kind of like an open range zoo. If they get out of line, you just thin the herd.
Last time I checked Texas was a Republic (an independent COUNTRY!)from 1836 to 1846. We were independent once, we can be so again.
Didn't Texas rebel from Mexico? Had a war of independence? The whole Alamo thing?
“And where all you turn for trade?”
Texas already exports more high-tech goods and services than any state, including that one that has silly con valley.
If Texas were its own country, it would be the 6th largest oil producing nation in the world. The Texas-less USA would need some of that oil, especially since it depends on it right now.
The Texas-less USA would need Texas more than vice-versa.
Jump whenever you feel froggy.

Why yes.
Rebellion is secession, isn’t it?
That’s why they called the Confederates “Rebs”, I believe.
I’m not sure if there are enough “real” Texans to get enough votes to succeed.
Our demographic is fading as we are overran by the groups you mention.
There was a series of short stories out about a year ago. I have it saved somewhere but forget the title. The gist was that, after the balloon goes up and DC clamps down on an increasingly-dysfunctional US, a massive, well-equipped and highly technological army suddenly appears and moves out of the “Great Western Redoubt”, and pushes down I-5 clearing out the entire west coast. They have lists of “conservatives” and “liberals”, and the libs are summarily evicted from their houses, dispossessed, and escorted South (eventually across the border into Mexico).
Rather than give up on the Cradle of the US, I’d much prefer to see Shay’s Rebellion v2.0, where the lib governments of New England are disenfranchised, and the leftists rounded up and pushed into enclaves somewhere else, maybe NYC or better yet, the ruins of Detroit.
