Actually, I think people read too many Left Behind books.

Either that or they're a bunch of drama queens.

Our country will still be here tomorrow, the next day, and the next year. We might have some setbacks, but we're still the United States of America.

I keep thinking of Castro...and the Cubans in Florida who are “Cubans First” but can’t go home.

Texas was a “Country First”. Before it was a state. Glad I could clear that up.

This is alot different than Baldwin and Sarandon.

The US Government has violated its authority. Look at how they over-tax us and give the money to others.

That was NOT the design of the Federal Govt. It has gotten out of control, and we have every right to seperate.

Where would you go? Start your own country or join Mexico?

My oath was to support and defend the Constitution. Ushering in a new era of Socialism is no part of that.

There is now one too many flags in that picture.

I think this question was pretty well settled in 1865.

We are supposed to be a Union of States, not a large hemogenous country that we are becoming.

We've been a mixed economy for decades now.

Tax rates were much, much higher until Reagan got into office. We weren't the United States of America back then?

That would certainly be up there as a former homeschooler. It’s just I haven’t heard that mentioned quite as much although that has to be in his vision to remake the country. I’m guessing he’ll move to disarm and subdue before the reeducation begins.

Mmmm... not so much. All it settled was whether a Federal government acting illegally could hold states in the Union by force, and of course the answer was “yes”.

Thing is, this time around, the North doesn’t have the industry or the military resources. All of the productive industry is in the South. So are the major remaining military bases.

Well, Okies don’t usually agree with Texans...but here in this state succeeding from the union has been discussed for the past week. It’s amazing how many people feel this way. Once Obama starts putting into place his socialistic policies, I honestly would not be surprised if their is serious discussions on this subject. As for “country first.” If Obama gets his way our country will no longer be the America we know and love.
