The petition has received more than 5,000 votes out of 25,000 needed for a White House response.

The human body fights abscesses like boils and pimples by building a wall around the infection, then allows the infection to eat its self and die.

Too bad the US public can not wall off these pustules of Liberalism and let them wallow and die in their own misery.

[ari-freedom]

Conservatives in Austin should file a counter counter petition.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Hell, son, I’m in Midland. We got enough firepower out here to keep them in check...remotely.

Chicago ain’t got ‘jack’ on good ol’ Texas-style intimidation.

[praytell]

hallelujah.....please do, my dad,mom and siblings can then move to another county.

[Colorado Cowgirl]

Yes, but the Peoples Republic of Boulder will start a counter counter petition.

[Mr. K]

"Does that mean we can build a wall around it and border checkpoints to keep the crazies in??"

No.. they will build a wall themselves, eventually, to keep their people from LEAVING.

Just like other hideous dictatorships

I’m sure 98% of their fellow Texans agree. I wish I could move down to Texas....

[Venturer]

I am sure there are people in Socialist States that would swap places with them. Here in Md, we have a few Conservatives who would make good Texans. I might =be talked into it myself.

Austin: The Kaliningrad of Texas.

It fits.

[Roccus]

I heard that Westlake Hills has started a petition to secede from Austin.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Best thing to happen to Texas if they can pull it off.

[Terry Mross]

This would be wonderful. We’ll keep HEB and they can have WHOLE FOODS.

I’m so glad I don’t live there anymore.

[Foolsgold]

Does that mean we can build a wall around it and border checkpoints to keep the crazies in??

Sounds like it would make a good episode of "The Walking Dead"

[native texan]

All they have to do is pack up their things and move to New Mexico....I am sure they will find a booming economy there.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Simple solution. LEAVE TEXAS!

[3Fingas]

They just want to “Keep Austin Weird”.

If they succeed, they will have to leave the ground behind...lol

[GeronL]

lol

[Melas]

Is this really what FR has sunk to? Has inane seccesionist babble really replaced the elevated and intelligent political discourse that used to predominate on FR? Do anyone really think that following gems are anything other than Jr. High stupidity?

Wall of [sic] austin [sic].

We’ll have a wall around the place to keep THEM IN, with barb wire on the top, and when they get hungry enough they’ll go over the wall into the rural areas beyond... and we’ll shoot ‘em.

They better not even THINK about shooting missiles into Williamson County.

Does that mean we can build a wall around it and border checkpoints to keep the crazies in

Make it tremendously expensive to use Texas airspace and land routes to the outside world.

Permission granted. No permission to use our airspace or otherwise cross the border into Texas though.

Chicago ain’t got ‘jack’ on good ol’ Texas-style intimidation.

cut off all the power they get from powerplants located elsewhere in Texas :)

I give em 2 days in Texas heat before they come back begging to rejoin the rest of us :)
