Jrsgun: To put it politely, bologna! The USA would never allow any state to secede. They tried that once, remember? That "state sovereignty" concept only goes as far as the Federal Gov't will let it. The governor of TX is all pumped up against the idea of bailout money until it starts flowing. I think all the secession talk is just talk for political purposes.

Texas does not need federal money, However, It would be dumb to not accept what's handed out for the time being.

To all those Socialist & Barack Hussein Obama followers:

You just do not get it.

Texas is not alone in the State Sovereignty & Secession. There are 20+ States proclaiming State Sovereignty & possible Secession. Secession is the very last resort if those idiots up in Washington do not listen to the people of those states.

ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES & LET THE BATTLE BEGIN.
GOD BLESS TEXAS & THE MILITARY.

. Secession is not treason, secessionist are not traitors.

The love of one's state is not treason, loyalty to one's home is not treason. The belief in government of and by the people is not treason. The belief in the 10th Amendment to the Constitution reserving all rights not specifically delegated to the Federal government to the States and People is not treason. Tyranny, oppression and perversion and usurpation of the Constitution is treasonous.

1. The entire question of secession was settled during the Civil War.
Myth Busted - the application of Federal military might to invade, occupy and forcibly repatriate the Southern states in no way answered the legal question of the legality of secession. In point of fact it can rightly be argued that the Federal government exceeded its delegated powers by using force against a the states.
2. Secession is the same as revolution and revolutions always mean bloodshed.
Myth Busted - A revolution is a change in government, secession is merely a separation of governments, a divorce or a disillusion of a compact.
3. No state have ever seceded anywhere in the world.
Myth Busted - recent examples would include, Montenegro, Lithuania, Estonia, All of the former Soviet Republics, and even Scotland regained some of her sovereignty in 1999 (something she lost in 1805)
4. If one or more of the various states secedes it will likely end up no better than a third world country, isolated, alone and poor.
Myth Busted - Not true, a free Alaska would be Saudi Arabia with snow, California would be the world's 7th largest economy. Other states would of their own choosing form trade alliances and various confederations or even federal unions. The point is these would be on their terms, governemnt of and by the people.
5. The United States was born on the 4th of July 1776, a state has no right to leave.
Myth Busted - The United States was not born in 1776, that was thirteen free and independent colonies shedding the yoke of imperialism. The United States was born with the ratification of the Constitution in 1788, its parents being the free and independent states.
6. If a state were to leave the Union it would mean war, the Federal government would never allow it.
Myth Busted - This myth plays right into the very notion of tyranny and governmental control. If the Federal government were to invade a state seeking to establish self-determination using the very same justification found in the Declaration of Independence would that act in and of itself not be enough to convict the Federal government of tyranny? Governments are supposed to do what the people allow, not the other way around.
