"My point has nothing to do with Bin Laden or anyone else. My point is that what is considered patriotism by us was the same as if one of the United States decided to break away from the rest. Would it still be patriotic if Texans decided they wanted to be their own country?"

Why couldn't you have said that in the first place? If you don't want to come off as a troller, you need to be a bit more elaborate with your proposed arguments or point...one sentence or snippy paragraph doesn not bode well...

Re: A state seceding from the Union...Texas actually did this in the past in fact...I don't remember why, but the frontiersman who served Texas are regarded as patriots by Texans and sure aren't regarded as "terrorists" in U.S. history books. In fact, the colonies were taxed much less by Britain than the federal government taxes us today...I'd say I would support any state that had had enough of socialistic trends in government...

I agree. I think that Texas and California would benefit greatly from a cessation of the United States.
