AUSTIN, TX – Texas has seceded from the union. Led by Governor Rick Perry, Texans and frustrated Conservatives are clamoring to Texas to start a new country.
Texas’ state congress held an emergency session on Thursday, and in a 180-1 vote decided to secede from the union.
Originally the Texas Senate opposed the actions of the State Congress, until the Congressmen asked if they would like to “step outside.” After a brief scuffle behind the Capitol building...

Would I still be a wetback if I swam the Red or Sabine Rivers to get into Texas from the north or east?
I thought all the great scientists of 20 years ago decided Cali was going to hav ea massive earthquake and fall into the ocean. Kinda like the geniuses now saying that if we dont stop driving cars and heating our homes the oceans will rise and we will all drown...
Who’s the one that voted against? “Get a rope”.

Hey, the Spurs don’t belong in the list of “overpaid crybaby athletes” since Rodman left.

They would become the enemy and the cause of all of the problems left in the rest of the old USA. Texas would be the evil empire to them.
Texas would have to set up a military at once, because within 10 years the old country would attack and try to destroy it. The would have to, because a successful Texas would be exposing the lie that their socialist world was built on.
Just my opinion.
“Texas would have to set up a military at once”
Already got one. Might even be tempted to resign my current commission to accept one in the new Republic...

“...set up a holiday on May 2nd”
That should be March 2, Texas Independence Day, when Texans declared themselves to be free from Mexico, while Travis and Crockett were being shelled by the Mexican Army at the Alamo.
The 188 Texan patriots died on March 6, the day that will live in true Texan hearts forever...unless Texas public school education successfully obliterates our history.
March 2, Texas Independence Day, is now “Texas Flag Day” on the public school calendars, so we don’t offend the huge population of Mexican children being educated by our tax dollars. That’s one thing Texans should not be proud of.
Yup. Easy to do since it already flys on each and every state(and others) pole.
Seriously, I am considering texas as my next home. I enjoy Virginia, but once this gig ends, I’d like to see how Texas fares.
;-D
I've been saying the same thing for years! It warms my heart to be in such great company.
Not if you had a legal passport.
Connelly and the Hunt brothers tried that once, ONCE!

I'd join in a heartbeat. And there's a book you need to read that decribes that exact scenario. "FreeHold" - Michael Z Williamson
They would combine with Mexico to fight Texas. Count on it, so the preparations for defense in both a military and “Hearts and Minds” way would have to start at once.
You know the people who currently proclaim they are “victims” would be easily sold by the MSM that it was all Texas's fault. “It's not their fault, it's the evil Texans who stole all of their money.” The news copy is easy to write. Just replace the targets in the DHS report with Texas, and you have a start.
Scary,
The title and source do that quite effectively.
I’ll bet the Weekly World News is a fun place to work.
