The United States is NOT a socialist empire.

It's a Fox New inspired fantasy.

Texas isn't going anywhere.

This is just some right wing nutjob crying because somebody pissed in his cheerios on election night.

It's not 1869 anymore -- and why not have a vote -- let the people decide.

This is great.
Another R thinking it through.
Yeah.
The more I hear the more it becomes evident that many Conservatives exercise ANY critical thinking skills. It's ALL DRIVEN BY IDEOLOGY.

The American Conservative Movement has become a cult.

It was the GOP in Texas that wanted to limit critical thinking skills in schools.

I hate to see y'all go, but have you guys figured out who is going to run the place? I mean who ya got? Bush? Perry? If that's the best you can do maybe you better stick around with us.

PS don't get too uppity about comparing the Lone Star state to Vermont. Vermont is the only state that actually was an independent republic.

They can try telling people of Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio about that. also what will happen to Texas Hispanics and African-Americans if Texas is a separate country??? What about El Paso and deep south of Texas which voted Blue?

To the liberals -- just think of this like your beloved Palestinian statehood.
Honestly, I am perfectly fine with that at this point.

Keep us posted on your plans.

Only "Real Texans" are going to live in Texas.

I sure hope they let El Paso stay a part of Texas. I'd rather not have to move.

Why worry so much about hispanics? We Texans have a new hispanic US Senator -- the Tea Party choice -- Ted Cruz.
