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.

Yeah, I think we keep California not to mention the fact that they really don't want to secede.

Apparently, nearly half of those in Texas would like to see it as an independent nation.

Looking at what we have "leading" this country I can't say that I blame them.

I think the coasts should defect so that the states in the middle can create their paranoid white bible country.

Give California and Texas back to the mexicans that seems to be the majority in those states.

It's not your call, you are not the voice that "allows" freedom.

Nah. Texans don't seem to have good taste in politicians, but they're decent enough people--at least the ones I know. But I also don't think that people like Perry represent all Texans--despite the fact that they gave us LBJ and George W. Bush.

You seem to miss the part where I said WE should allow them secede. My voice and many others could allow us to be free of Texas and its negative influence on the rest of this country. They are the ones that want to leave. I am all for allowing them to leave.
