I guess he wanted to move to a Texas, a state that remotely resembles a republic and remembers what states rights really means.
And a state that is red. And, not the RED associated with the liberal states.
If Obama wins the next election...it may not be THAT much longer before Texas is an independent republic again.
Remember, they never ratified the Constitution...they were annexed. It might not be sucession-sucession...you know...like rape-rape.
My dream for CA was to split in to three states, though...Northern CA, Southern CA, and New CA. San Diego, Palm Springs, and Orange County would = New CA. We'd really close the border, buy Baja (and turn it into a FANTASTIC resort area), vote Conservative and we'd be FINE!!! People would be flocking here. It's absolutely GORGEOUS here!!!
