The White House said to Texans" you can't secede".


I for one am terribly disappointed.
I was looking forward to Texas becoming it's own country.
I was hoping those unhappy RWNJ's in every state would all pack up and give up US citizenship to live in the free country of Texas.
It would be interesting to see how many RWNJ's would give up good paying jobs in those "Liberal" states so they could seek employment in the "right to work" country of Texas.
Now more worrying about the Liberals taking your guns away, everybody would be carrying a weapon.
No more of those "nanny"state laws like speed limits on the roads or red light cameras.
Who knows perhaps Texas would outlaw, homosexuals, blacks, Mexicans (good luck with that)
What a great country Texas would make all right thinking folks without interference from those jerks on the left with their college educations and lousy football teams.

Oh well I've been disappointed before.
Better luck next time Texans maybe with a Republican in the White house (a white one) you might have better luck.

Barack Obama does not have a say in what the Republic of Texas wants to do. Lincoln could not keep the south from seceeding.

I wonder how Texas would handle immigration when every crazy far right person in the country tried to move there.

That's really an interesting thought. Maybe we SHOULD let them become their own country. It would be a great way to rid America of all the crazies who'd want to move there.

Yes Libs, please avoid Texas. This is so true. No city in Texas is immune either.
Watch the show "Duck Dynasty" sometime. I realize technically that's next door in Louisiana, but it is SO Texas too, even has a Texan band theme song.
Beware!

Texas would not allow liberals to cross the borders, therefore there wouldn't be any "crazies" moving there.

Problem is, people have to work, make a living. They can't all move if enough jobs aren't available. Though Texas does have most other states beat on that lately, much to the chagrin of Texas-bashers and anti-conservatives.
More likely, other conservative-leaning states would just try to follow Texas' lead.

Oh well then if you don't consider the far right to be crazy, then you are more than welcome to stockpile them all up in Texas.
