I don't get this the title of this thread. Texas never asked to secede and was never denied. Rick Perry making a statement about seceding is not an attempt made by Texas to secede.

The OP doesn't like Rick Perry. That's the reason behind this thread.
Just about the only good thing that comes from Texas is oil and gas, beyond that I think the country would be better off without Texas in it.
Just think of all the worthless politicians that have been from that state, and I include LBJ in the group.
I wish people would stop acting like our deranged politicians speak for the whole state. Most Texans have no desire to secede whatsoever. You're stuck with us.
Does anyone REALLY care what a few blowhards think about Texas? The Texas bashers here are all from some jerkwater states that no one gives a crap about anyway. Must be the pits living in a vanilla state like you guys.
Good point. This asinine post about Texas is ridiculous. It is funny how some people think that their state is more important than others. Ignorance is hard to overcome at times.
We can take care of our own.
You can give Cali back to Mexico, but Texas was it's own nation, before the USA wanted them. We will gladly take back the property that was Texas in 1845
No No, you should learn your own history.
Texas was a Mexican colony/province.
The Mexican government allowed white farmers/slave holders from America [mostly the South] to move in and settle.
Those Southerners became restless with the Mexican government, and they were American anyway.
They started a jerk-off revolution-"Remember the Alamo"
Somehow Tejas won.
Governing yourselves became difficult.
A few years later, Texas was annexed to the United States.
Texas can have any form of govt. that they wish, even a theocracy if they so desire. Although I would be against them having any nuclear weapons, kind of like barney fife with a gun. We would not trust them to not shoot themselves in the foot.
Some one needs to remember the Alamo.
