Raising the bar on glib, even for the Eloi at The Washington Post, former Post reporter Thomas E. Ricks includes Texas as one of the newspaper's “things to toss out” this year, along with flip-flops and Ben Bernanke.
“For decades, Texans have been clamoring about leaving the Union,” he writes. “Letting the Lone Star State secede would set a bad precedent. (See the Civil War of 1861 to 1865.) But what about expelling it instead? There is promise in that.”

Let’s do one better and defeat the ComDems. Then Charge, Try, Convict, Sentence, Punish the Traitors and Criminals among them.
I want no part of secession. I want it all back and the ComDems out of office forever.
Let me remind you:
One of my ancestors was born in Texas during The Republic, but..
Texas is not where you were born, but a State of Heart, Mind and Attitude.

I am a 5th generation Texan.
But make no mistake, Texas is changing rapidly and is well underway to go the way of California in our lifetimes.
Liberals are pouring into this Texas at breakneck speed and are bringing all their liberal ideas with them. They have taken root in Austin and Houston and are spreading outward from those cities like a plague.
‘Like’ a plague? FRiend they ARE PLAGUE itself.
From your lips to The Lord's Golden Ears Tommy boy...

If it happened, we would not be lonely. 25-30 states would go with us. hee hee hee
Agree.
expel Texas? DO IT, PLEASE I BEG YOU. DOOOOO ITTT.
Yes, we “sunflower” independent types, clinging to our God and our guns, so sicken Marxists, until they can “pry them from our cold, dead hands,” they’ve no use for us at all!
On my father's side from VA, headed out to MO for a time, some of the sons headed off to both TX and OK, others hung out in KS and we are still in the area.
Tagline...
Their worldview will never let them admit they need private industry. In their eyes, corporations don't create wealth, they steal it.
Well done.
Texas would have to fend off millions trying to move there from liberal states were it to secede.
But it’s moot. Washington would never put up with the loss of tax revenue out of Texas without a war. Nor would it tolerate another nation located so close to the mouth of the Mississippi river. Look at a map of east Texas and the distance from New Orleans. The Mississippi river system is the largest system of connected navigable waters in the world. And it connects the American midwest to the rest of the world.
Many of the borders of Texas are rivers. Those are easy to defend. A few road blocks and immigration check stations.
I am getting ready to move to the Bahamas Look at the immigration requirements there. It is difficult to become a citizen even of you marry a Bahamian
I agree with you. We are well on our way to turning “blue”.
Notice the lib isn’t about letting people do something voluntarily - “allowing” secession is “out”, but “expelling” is “in”.
Shows a lot about the lib mentality right there.
Firm application of the “supremacy” of the 10th amendment would be a de facto secession.
If the fedgov were only able to exercise Art I Sec 8 powers and the states did not allow, under penalty of arrest, any other powers to be exercised,
it would be a de facto secession. There isn’t much the fedgov is legitimately authorized to do.
