Is Texas A Terror State?
The American Thinker ^ | April 14, 2009 | Jim Byrd

Posted on 04/14/2009 3:01:19 PM PDT by Scanian

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas fits the Department's profile of potential domestic terrorism described in their newly released report titled, " Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment".

Islamic extremists' acts of domestic terrorism were recently given the dignity, by Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and President Obama, of being classified as man-made disasters, and abroad, the "war on terror" has been reclassified as an "overseas contingency plan". But an entire non-Islamic class, or perhaps by extension entire states, according to the report, are not afforded such considerate and cordial titles if they are anti-abortion, tend to harbor returning soldiers stationed in the Middle East, aid and abet the reintegration of military personnel into civilian life within their borders, are anti-illegal immigration, are anti-gun control, possess Christian views, are against high taxes, and are opposed to the overreaching power of the federal government. They fit the assessment of "extremists" that was

"provided to federal, state, local, and tribal counterterrorism and law enforcement officials so they may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks"

It is the opposition of the "overreaching power of the federal government" that may have sealed Texas's fate as a terror state.

Good - now maybe we can get serious on seceding from this country.

Why would I ever wish to continue seeing Chuck Shumer, Nancy Pelosi or Al Franken settiong laws for me?

I have heard mention of “give Texas to Mexico” before and it makes me chuckle at the thought of Texans willingly allowing their sovereign state to be given away. That would NEVER happen.

If I didn't live in Texas I'd consider moving to Oklahoma too. It is a great place. Louisiana certainly has it's good points but lots of negatives. But I think I'll stick with Texas were I am a 6th generation native.
