NASA was shut down essentially since we have a president who isn't bright enough to see the reason we need NASA...
Funny you should bring up NASA (although you're of course woefully misinformed) in a thread about Texas. See - and there's not really a nice way to put this - the parts of NASA that actually build stuff and do stuff are not in Texas. Houston is only on the map in matters regarding aerospace because LBJ needed to shovel some yummy government pork to his home state.
Yes that way we can have one party rule which is what Obama does anyway ...Hail Obama
I think the two party system allows for far too little political diversity as it stands, but if the Republicans can't figure out how to better reflect the will of the people, it'll be a story of their failure and lack of inclusivity, rather than some trickery or mastery by the Democrats.
Dont believe i actually read this thread. Texas recieves a lot of fed chedder. All of the bases that help provide jobs. No way they give all of that up. Its funny how people complain about fed money but always got their hand out screaming gimme.
If tx wants to make a statement, refuse every federal penny and do it all with their own dime.
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.
Just wait till the effects of climate change turn your great state into Sahara desert. It should not take long, you think the droughts in Texas over the past few years were bad? You ain't seen nothing yet.
Texas is much more sustainable than many sovereign nations today.
Illegal immigration is a problem in Texas, but Texans can be very creative when they need to be.
Apart from outright secession, which I'm not advocating (yet), Texas is probably the only state with the political will, the resources, and the cajones to stand up to Obama's thugocracy.
No, Texas today actually gets more from the federal government than it sends to Washington. Texas has many citizens in poverty.
Even as Perry requested the Recovery Act money, he railed against it. On the very same day he asked for the funds, he set up a petition titled "No Government Bailouts."
