Still, even his explanations tend to end with a question mark, like this one earlier this year: “I see absolutely no reason for Texas to leave. But if Washington continues to disregard the states and continues to try to force states to change the way that they govern, who knows what may happen?”

The screwing is being done by the federal representatives..and may I suggest that you review (read) the Declaration of Independence....

Hmmm...like the United States?
May I mention.....the old Social Security lock box BS? The borrowing now to be paid by all future generations fiasco?
Walk away...? That's exactly what the Congress has done with a creepy smirk on their faces....they no longer even read the bills they pass and are proud of their insanity....
I have been in Texas exactly twice in my life - once changing planes in Dallas and once changing planes in Houston. I'm happy leaving things at that.

Looks like you've got big feet there, cowboy.
Also..visit Alamo Village in Brackettville, Texas where the original Alamo was filmed...and many videos and other movies. The set is an exact recreation of the Alamo Mission and fortress.... One can walk the premises without interference.
Politicians of all States are equally responsible for the government's current economic fiasco. Which is why any State that wants to leave is going to have to shoulder its share of the burden.
Who are you, Antonio López de Santa Anna? You sound like Mexico....in 1836.....
The US will need to trade with Texas more than the Texas with the US....
I agree with a previous poster about the snow birds making it more difficult to secede. I don’t live in Texas, but if Texas did secede from the American Empire and become a free republic, I’d move there. There is no hope for the government in Washington to be anything but a socialistic oligarchy. It will only get worse regardless of which party is in power.
Perhaps if Texas is successful in becoming a free republic (no pun intended), other states may follow.
Why do you think Texans should be free to ignore their share of the debt if they decide to secede? That would be like a business partner trying to leave a company without taking his share of the company's liabilities. Anyway, if Santa Anna had been willing to let Texas leave peacefully in exchange for them taking their share of the debt, he would have been in the right.
The US will need to trade with Texas more than the Texas with the US....
Unlikely. The US would still be more than 10 times as big as Texas. The situation would be similar to our trade with Canada, which is much more important to the Canadian economy than to ours.
Texas couldn't do that without Congress' consent, which would be unlikely.
Mexico thought that was the case too....
People will be free...regardless of the attitude derived of Civil War legislators...
If Texas goes, Oklahoma goes too, I’m sure...
Now, who “dominoes” after that? Don’t know, but there would be a quite a few. Look at all the states with “sovereignty” legislation going through, and those with “nullification” laws going through.
No, Texas wouldn’t be alone. The “Free Republic” would be made up of more than the Lone Star State.
Mexico thought that was the case too....
People will be free...regardless of the attitude derived of Civil War legislators...
I'll point out that you didn't secede from Mexico. You fought and won a rebellion and achieved your independence that way. You're currently batting .500 in that respect.
Thanks! I’d also like to check out Ft. Clark and Las Moras springs.
Do they let people swim there?
Actually no they can't, not without consent of Congress. And what do you suppose the chances of getting that is?
See this is where we differ...you use the term "let"... Texans do not letsomeone control them.....never have and never willllwe buck control. We don't need permission from anyone or any government.... It's called freedom...
Please....semantics be damned....
Does your concept of freedom also include responsibility? Walking away from one's share of debts isn't freedom, it's anarchy.
