But our energy prices would be much cheaper. Where would the rest of the country get their gas from, since so much is refined on the TX coast?

I imagine we'll just buy it from you. So what?

I don' think that is right. If we keep the $$$$$$s here to start with, think of all the administrative dollars that would not be left in DC.

Some of those will have to fund the administration you'll have to set up to replace the government one. State Department, Defense Department, etc. It won't all be savings.

As far as the libs here, if they don't like it, they will leave on their own. They tend to stay where they can suck up freebies. Cut that off and they will be out of here.

Ah but what if they stay and try to take over?

We were a republic once before, and I think we can do it again.

Well good luck with it.

You can't be serious! They will all die painful deaths, but at least they won't be tortured. That wouldn't be the Texas way. Texans are decent people, just DON'T MESS WITH THEM!!
