While you're saying bye to Texas, also say bye to lots of immigrant's votes, lots of oil and fantastic Tex-Mex cuisine.

I don't understand citizens of this country who want to denigrate some other part of the country. Are we no longer united?

I want Crimea and Ukraine to secede from Russia. Commies (now mostly running the Democrat party) have been trying to weaken and break up the US since at least the end of WWII, but really since the beginning of Marxism/communism.

I wasn't too serious about wanting Texas to leave, even though their politics outside of Austin tend to be dumb and short-sighted, as in trying to skirt environmental regulations. And I'm sure they have some good food, I've always like beef BBQ better than pork.

Sometimes I just get sick of conservatives getting on the California subforum to tell us how we ought to become more like Texans or move there. So I can get a little snappish.

I'm very, very worried about what Putin does, though, and this is the least of it. He's a loose cannon with enormous numbers of really heavy-duty nukes, and he's been making like an angry bear that's been poked. Plus he seems to working to ally himself with a dumb fundie theocrat who sponsors terrorism around the world, and is about to join the nuclear club.

Texas is free to try and secede, but don't expect to take the oil or refineries with you. You guys know first hand how the US deals with people trying to take oil from them.
