Texas will have no aircraft carriers, no submarines, no Navy, no Air Force, no ICBMs, and no professional standing army.
It will have aced itself out of having any global impact whatsoever.
Not only will it not be able to impact global affairs. It won’t be able to protect itself in the short term.
This talk of Texas leaving the union is so vapid, it lacks any real basis for discussion.
Sure in our mind’s eye we’d like to think of gaining control over our states and become more secure under a Conservative government. Unfortunately, this is a much more complex issue than that.
This fails a children’s level of relative thinking.
If this nation breaks up, the best parts of it leave, guess what happens brain trusts...
We do not continue to be the major force for good globally. You will have tipped the balance of power to the evil among us.
Who would be left in control of our most useful assets, for impacting global dynamics? That’s right, the wicked Left with no input any longer from Texans.
Yes, that’s right, the Left would have an even stronger foot-hold in the U. S., and it could cut Texas off just like it did Cuba. Laugh, but who knows what the remaining Leftists would do.
So Texas, when you talk about leaving the union, please do so sitting down without sharp instruments, preferably in a padded room for your own safety.
What Texas could seriously consider is exercising our express right to split into as many as five states. If the boundaries are carefully gerrymandered we could have as many as ten conservative Senators.
It is never going to happen, but it is a lot more realistic than trying to secede. Secession did not turn out too well the last time it was tried.
I agree. Secession will never happen as long as there is a United States. Texas is as much a part of those United States as the United States is a part of Texas. It would be impossible to separate the two without killing Texas. Think of it as conjoined twins with one heart and two brains. Yes, they can be separated and maybe a heart transplant could be done on one (Texas) but it won’t live very long or be very healthy ever. But by staying joined they can live on indefinitely.
I’ve been noticing some odd behavior down Texas way over the last few years. I think a lot of it is the frustration we all have with this gay muslim kenyan President we currently have and a feckless congress who refuses to stop him like they should. Some of it is just plain good ole’ boy nonsense like what happens in Waco all too often and even the lefty cities like Houston act the same way; just in reverse for the left.
This President has divided this nation like none other before him; at least in relatively modern times with the possible exception of FDR. Not coincidentally; they are much alike.
