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?

And the libtards that caused our problems can go and eat each other alive. Utopia!
They're the Borg and you're humanity. You will be assimilated. Resistence is futile.
Sheriff Joe could win election as President of the Republic of Texas..... He'd damn-sure get my vote!
I was and still am ready for the split!

Transplanted Texan!
You’re just jealous. Texans (or Texians) got big balls.
I’m fixin’ to move to TX in the next six months so I’m already there when you DO seceed!
:)
Ping some Texans !
Ping! Ping! Ping!

Heres how it will be with Vermont: The leaders of its secessionist movement, the Second Vermont Republic, want to feed, shelter, clothe, and fuel a free republic broken from the empire. This doesnt mean the little country will sink into Albanian isolation, its citizens ceasing to trade with China or refusing to watch the rot beamed on DirecTV satellites. It will continue to be a tourist destination, its slopes welcoming New Yorkers and Quebecois equally. But the states secesh want to keep their tax dollars at home and put them toward localized food economies (calling it food sovereignty), energy supplies based on wind and water, and credit lines out of community lenders freed from the distant tyrannical rate controls of central banks.

Most of the ones I know are lacking in other areas, especially my boss - big time. But I'll play along. Say Texas does secede, describe for me what it will be like. Taxes, government services, diplomacy, budget, government, so on and so forth. I hear you Texas folk all talk about leaving but it's clear you haven't thought things through.
Couldn’t we pick a state with a milder climate to seceed? I’ve spent time in Texas in July...it’s not pleasant....
I see.....and our U.S. representatives have thought things through? Pardon my laughter outburst....
Hmmmmmm...how many legislative bills of one thousand or more pages have been passed by our "well-read, learned and respected" representation in the past 6 months?
Can The Republic of Texas govern respectfully? ....yes. We currently send our state reps home...they meet once every two years.....then beat it! They can't hurt us when they are not in session....
Remove all “social programs” except jobs (Reagan),
hold everyone to the same standards, no special allowances for anyone,
remove all possibility of “elitists” being able to control the lives of others,
and you’ll see an exodus of liberals from your great state.
Ironically, the left were the ones that started the 10th amendment sovereignty movement, and the “nullification” movement (sanctuary cities that would not enforce federal immigration law).
Now, we’ll use that movement and concept against them.
Libs absolutely FREAK OUT at the possibility that someone could escape their control.
I hear Obama and the EPA can change the weather.......
BTW...what's wrong with 104 degree temps? It will be 102-104 today..its already 84 at 7:48 AM......ya just can't walk on pavement barefooted....one learns that as a child in Texas.
Leftists will not allow individualists to live in peace outside of their control. It is anathema to them.
The Texas border patrol will have many opportunities for employment....
Maybe everything has not been thought thru but there are significant items that are needed for secession already in place. One of the biggest is that Texas has it’s own power grid and much of it is nuclear based. We share any excess with other states. Texas has a lot of financial support that is Texas-based, not BoA, WF, etc. Throw in farming, ranching, and thousands of other manufacturing sites. Green? There are already several huge wind farms here. Granted what they produce is insignificant overall (the Greens should note that it takes thousands of windmills to replace one nuke), but Texas has quite a jump start on that technology, as ridiculous as most of it is.
There are shortages water being the most significant. But that is a solvable problem.
One can't travel I-10 from Houston to San Antonio without spotting a windmill transport.....
True...the eradication of the invasive cedar tree will significantly improve aquifer waater levels...
One acre of cedars can waste up to 50,000 gallons of water per year.....
