Is this BS or what?

Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.
The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it's citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

Secession ain't on the list. We established that one already, at significant cost of blood and treasure.

I don't think this is really about secession.

Texas should pull OK, AR and LA with them... then annex Mexico and BAM - we have all we need.

Cannibal · 11-14-2012, 11:58 AM

The entire southeast portion of the country should join them.

If Texas and Colorado could get along...you might be able to make a nation from one giant chunk of the middle of the country from border to border.

Why?

The United states is bankrupt, morally and financially. Washington DC is a corrupt cesspool. Like cancer, you have to cut it out.

There are many states that are productive and thriving, while others are peoples republics. Think North and South Korea.

Now, imagine if there was a central authority between the two states, and the North had more representation. They would take more and more from the South, inevitably destroying both states.

More and more people are wising up to the game. Our elected officials who make policy come from large population cesspools like Chicago and San Francicko. They don't represent people from "flyover country" yet they make all the policies that adversely disturb their lives and extort more and more lucre in the form of federal taxes.

Our currency is rendered more and more worthless with each passing day.

Why wouldn't Texas or an entire region want to cut the cancer out and form a brand new country that shares similar values, culture and yes, currency? A currency that is worth the paper it is printed on?

The irony in any state seceding would be the fact that if it got violent and enough civvies got killed, then the UN might get involved and start staying people have a right to self-determination a la Kosovo.. even though I imagine the UN is one reason why people would want to leave the US in the first place.

Look around the world at all the violence that occurs and the UN does nothing. Look at the failed states that we prop up--- from Egypt to Pakistan.

Please, Texas will be just fine as it's own country. In fact it will be so successful, it will lead to an avalanche of other states wishing to follow suit.

Kosovo.

Just like that Romney landslide that you predicted.

I was wrong. There were 100,000 more moonbats in Virginia, PA, and Ohio than I thought.
