It has a coast and many ports, plenty of agriculture, big cities with employment, lots of guns, oil deposits, woodlands, great people, and room to grow.
All I know is whenever I see the rolling blackouts on the west coast and power outages on the east coast I thank my lucky stars I'm in Texas where we have our own power grid totally independent of the rest of America.....
Really?
El Paso Electric buys some of its power from New Mexico.
Oh, and look here:
"El Paso Electric is now operating on and solely providing electricity to El Paso County and Dona Ana County through electricity it purchases from the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant in Arizona."
I see more American flags hanging from houses in the Northeast than I do here in Texas. People in the Northeast are Americans first.
Yet, I've never seen a state flag on anyone's house in the northeast. But there are Texas flags on many, many houses, here. Right alongside the American flag.
Like I said, this isn't about seceding from the Union - yet. It's about "seceding" from federal overreach and resisting certain destructive policies imposed by Washington.
For example, with respect to the HHS abortion/contraception mandate, Texas is a state that could tell the Obama administration "no, you're not going to impose this tyrannical directive on Texas institutions".
Texas has the resources to call Obama's bluff and stand its ground.
We do agree they are the only ones that have the balls to do it....I hope if they start it the south joins in...this time it will be a guerilla war and we will win...I would rather die on my feet fighting tyranny than dying in old age in a tyrannical country.
If this 2nd term gets extreme, we'll see if Southerners still have a backbone.
Hey then we won't need a new flag, Puerto Rico will just replace texas's star.
also I do see state flags in MA, and NH pretty often.
Wouldn't that be ironic. Replace one of the big economies / oil producers in the world with a small welfare state. Not too bright.
