Now would be a great time to leave.

Agreed, and if we could do it without a fight so much the better. With the army and air force national guard, plenty of oil and related processing facilities, and the Pantex nuclear weapons plant in Texas, we'd be off to a good start. I just have a feeling that other states would want to join and Obama wants to be the next Lincoln, so he wants another civil war to "save" the country.

Other states may want to join Texas, but we really shouldn’t take them with us - they have no history of independent nationhood and besides we have no idea what kind of messes we’d be importing.

Maybe Oklahoma as they’re essentially part of Texas anyway - but nobody else. Anyone else wanting to leave the US can go form their own nation and make a go of it on their own for a while before we should consider a merger.
