AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"

Well DHS better update their right-wing extremism document and include the entire state of Texas. LOL.

I tell everyone I know, (even though I LIVE in Kentucky):
I am a TEXAN first, AMERICAN second.
Bavarians, from Germany, really relate to that.
Having grown up in Texas, I can tell you this.. we were ALL taught in school that, when Texas joined the US, we retained the right to secede.. or, to split into a total of Five states. We were even shown the lines proposed for the new states.
Either option would be OK with me. But, if they decide to secede... I will move HOME immediately.

Yahoo even has as it's headline today "Revolution is Brewing".
Not sure how far this will go but it's really getting interesting.

Rick Perry said a lot of great things and makes me wonder if this is the real man or a politician taking advantage of the moment.
If this is who he is all the time and about other important issues, such as the ones that make Napolitano wet her pants, we might be ready for another President from Texas.

There goes any shot at the presidency. This will be used against him for sure. Well it never stopped Jefferson Davis did it?

Perry and Palin should team up, and lead their states out of the union. Being the biggest energy producing states, they would have the US over a barrel.

My husband and I have already discussed this. If Texas secedes, we’re moving. I can do that without losing my job, because I’m a teleworker, and he’s disabled and not working.

Bet Perry would lose his nerve if it came right down to TX leaving the Union. Legislators, too. Takes courage.

There are places in Texas where property is very cheap. Most of them are in the boonies, in fly-over country.
I know, I live there.
To: misterrob; Aria
Infested with Mexicans....And rattlesnakes, fire ants, tornadoes, rednecks......you don't want to move here.

No problem. Rick Perry is NOT presidential material.
Like that stops 'em from winning?

Politician taking advantage of the moment.
There’s too muck in Slick Rick’s record to believe him now. He’s just an Aggie Yell Leader running scared of a tu Cheerleader.
