“no way would I ever vote to betray my country and leave the union.”
Ok, well, let me give you a scenario:
“The Democratic Party renames itself the “Socialist Party of America” (SPA). They ban the Republican Party (and all others) and impose one-party rule. All public dissent is officially prohibited.
All hospitals are forced to provide abortions. Gay marriage is legalized throughout the entire country. The United Nations gets complete authority to stipulate and influence United States’ law.
Taxes are raised to the sky. People making over $50,000 per year see massive tax hikes. Government spending goes through the roof. The dollar becomes worthless and we see hyper-inflation.
All coal production is shut down, in the name of “environmental progress.” All nuclear power plants are also shut down. Consumer energy costs skyrocket.”
And I could go on, and on, and on.
Please know that I’m not trying to be rude or anything; I’m just asking a question, and here it is:
Would you REALLY want to live in a country like that? That is an example of what will come if we don’t get these Marxists voted out of office.
Give it a couple of years and it will be like that.

RASMUSSEN SURVEY: What a bunch of Horse Sh!t
Under that scenario, Texas might very well secede.
The 25% that supports secession has been a consistant amount for a number of years. I was stunned the first time I saw it and my experience down here confirms it.
I have lived in a number of states and I can say that the first year I saw the patriotism of Texans it took my breath away. It felt to me that I had accidenlty discovered the real America.
Texans don’t give a tinker’s d@mn if our patriotism, which we wear boldly on our sleeves, offends anyone. If you don’t like it, leave.
