Texas has plenty of lunatic liberals, but for the most part they're not in charge. The feds have plans to change all that, so I'm all for acting fast.
Sorry, but it s been those hated Liberals that made Texas what it became. Things changed, include Party platforms. So soon so many forget Good 'ol Texas was quite segregated , just like the balance of the South.

Yessss! You go, Texas, and don't you never come back. I'm glad to see that my thread about getting the US out of Texas is bearing some fruit.

Good bye, you ignorant birthers

See you later, race baiters

So long, whiney losers

Bye, bye, mean spirited neocons

We won't miss you a bit. Think you could speed up your depature, any?

There are other states that have tried to secede, and it's failed. I suspect the same could be so for Texas. I doubt that the majority of Texas' population wants to secede.

"Texas has the right to Secede" ? Where does that come from.? The US is a Republic always has been., no connection with any "social Empire"

This isn't Obama's America. He will be gone in four years. We will be left to clean up from his wake of destruction after he goes back to Hawaii.

Consider this. Those who want to stay part of the USA might fight tooth and nail.

Will Texas secede from Barack Obama's America?
Not just Texas... anybody else sick of the coasts telling the rest of the country how to live their lives?

I'm in freaking Salt Lake City, not New York City; I'm a LONG way from their stupid problems and even stupider "solutions".
