COULD WE PLEASE SHOW SOME GUTS ON OUR SIDE, EVERYBODY?

Damn right. Texas should tell Washington to shove it where the sun don't shine. Texas has seaports, oil, farm land, manufacturing, etc, and can survive without the corrupt rotten Washington we have now. We are no longer a free Country, but under King Obama and his corrupt machine. We have evolved into a Communists nation.

Memoirs of Service Afloat by Raphael Semmes (commander of the CSS Alabama) is full of unreconstructed Confederate thinking. I think he claimed that the Confederate States had the 3rd largest economy in the world (I guess the 1st and 2nd were Great Britain and the U.S.) Yet we all know how that turned out.
