Longtime YouTube political poster, Christopher Greene, makes a strong case for why the state of Texas will secede from the union.
So medicaid and medicare are program run by the Federal and are the only way to do medical? I think Free Republic is inhabited by some era buffoons If that is what goes on for thinking..
With weinies like you around you may be right.
LOL!
If push came to shove, a future Lone Star Nation would nuke Washington before some future half-white Jackson could get a speech written.
Unlikely, as Texas is emasculated, neutered, and a mere eunuch of its former self. And the Republic of Texas needed the US to pay its debts and protect it from .... wait for it......
Mexico!
Oh yes, count on me to tell the foolish insurrectionists that they are foolish insurrectionists.
You do know that the penalty for treason?
Don’t do the thing, if you can’t do the swing.
Oh yeah secession is treason. The proof is the numerous trials and hangings after the first secession in 1860. After Lincoln’s war their wer so many trials for treason.... wait they were no trials for treason. Never mind.
We don’t have to secede, just tell the feds to go pound sand. What are they going to do attack us?
bump
“...Texas isn’t going to secede....”
I sure wouldn’t bet the farm on that statement.
Texas was here loooonnnng before, and will be here loooonnnnngggg after, the US is just a fading memory.
Texas Secede from the union? “Taint gonna happen”
Texas Secede from the union? “Taint gonna happen”
Would you give up Medicare you paid into for 40 yrs so you could live in Texas?
Because the fedgov will send you your SocSec money if you’re out of the country but they won’t pay your medical.
Well I’m on Medicare too.
And while the govt will send you your SocSec money if you are out of the country, they won’t pay your medical.
So a “free” Texas is gonna have to come up with a huge amount of money if they plan to set up a retroactive Medicare program.

We have enough oil/gas here to sell to the commies up north and overseas, we can more than cover that kind of expense.
IF Oklahoma and Louisiana join us, we’ll form an energy conglomerate that will rival the Saudis.
Get rid of all the illegals we have to support because we are bound by other more liberal states immigration emotions and we would be on the far extreme end of giving and not getting.
All the problems we have here are rooted in our federal system.
Any smaller state that retains Houston, Austin, or San Antonio may not elect conservatives.
Now the nation is failing, I’d rather take my chances solo.
