If BHO is reelected, Time for Texas to Secede (Vanity)

[no dems]

Being a native-born Texan, it is my understanding that Texas is the only State in the Union that can legally secede from the Union, because it was once a Republic on it's own. (The Republic of Texas.)

Now, someone help me out here: Is that a fact? If so, I'm calling on all Texas FReepers to join me in laying the groundwork to make it happen if Barack Obama is reelected. What do we need to do to start a Secession Movement, and where do we begin? If you're not a Texan, you don't understand the Texas mind-set. If BHO is reelected, I guarantee you that Texas would vote 60% - 40% FOR Secession. Even Governor Perry has talked about Texas seceding. LET'S FRIGGIN' DO IT!!!

I think Texas is already part of Mexico again.

LOL.... You ain’t right cripplecreek. You just ain’t right!

Oh, he's right...

In fact, ya got Illegals are dropping about 1000 anchor babies per month at Parkland Hospital in Dallas..It's the #1 hospital in the country, for illegal alien births.

Texas is really hot though

Remember what Ben Franklin said, "Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither."

That’s the dirty secret we never mention in conservative circles. Although your source is different than mine, and more than a decade more current, so thank you for that.

[X-spurt]

We resent Arizona resenting our ideas.

[Sherman Logan]

Not many conservatives are violently opposed to the American government. We’re opposed to the present administration.

Big difference.

[X-spurt]

You need to learn more Texan, “Oh, I was just jokin” don’t make it admission of a mistake. Usually only means “what I said ain’t worth our tusslin over”.

[Melas]

I think the fact that’s it 48th in GDP probably has more to do with it. Despite being comparable in size to Colorado, Wyoming barely outproduces tiny Vermont.

Sherman Logan posted more current information than I have, and although I believe it’s calculated differently (Looks like fed expenditures for fed lands within a state aren’t counted on his) it is probably more accurate for our purposes.

[Melas]

Only here for 3 months. My home is in Texas. Nice try at being snide though.

[snarkybob]

“How about Texas being able to defend itself with 80 million people? Because that’s around how many (armed) Americans would end up living there.”

They’ll need to bring their own water lol.

[TLI]

Why would Texas want to secede?

If a few of the states or even part of a single state, infected with incurable worthless communists, do not want to be loyal to the Republic and uphold the Constitution, they should be the ones to go, not us.

They can take all their commie crap right along with them.

Oh, BTW, since they are all against a powerful military, all military assets inside a secession zone will be physically reclaimed by the loyal capitalist States. Same thing with any national heritage artifact or resources.

Any capitalist citizens loyal to the Republic should be assisted in exiting the session zones.

Any attempt to confiscate or tax their possessions will be countered by force from the Republic.

Same with private sector businesses.

Then, A.M.F.

I am a third generation Texan. My grandson...fifth generation Texan. Husband also third generation Texan....Ever heard...Don’t ever corner anything meaner ‘en you?????

Actually Texas could separate from the union until the civil war when that promise was legislated away.

[Charles Henrickson]

I think Texas is already part of Mexico again.

You win the internets today!

[WKUHilltopper]

“Contrary to popular opinion, none of them have any language that would allow for secession.”

So? Who cares? We have immigration laws and gun running laws and the Feds don’t follow these either.

If Texas goes, I’m moving to Texas.

[WKUHilltopper]

“Don’t you think we are all on the list, just for being on FR to begin with?”

Pretty much.

[Sherman Logan]

I think the fact that’s it 48th in GDP probably has more to do with it. Despite being comparable in size to Colorado, Wyoming barely outproduces tiny Vermont.

WY being 48th in GDP probably has a lot to do with its being 50th in population.

Vermont is 49th, with about 60k more people than WY.

[Don Corleone]

Arizona is on the cutting edge of potential Civil Disobedience and Sheriff Arpaio should be considered the George Washington or the Samuel Adams of the peaceful revolution.

YOU BETCHA!

[Melas]

Yep. Out of staters especially don’t realize that the Texas population is more than 4/5 urban. Hell, I even have a friend in East Texas recently call me out when I said that 6 million people life in the metroplex, so it’s not just out of staters. Turns out I was wrong, 2012 is projected to be much closer to 7 million.
