Folks down here are still talking about this looney subject. Let me get this straight:

Repugnants/conservatives lost an election, and now they're upset enough to talk about seceding from the union. Never mind that there will be more elections in the future, and that they still enjoy the right to participate in those elections, vote, run for office, petition the government...none of that matters. Some of them claim that Bush is as bad as Obama, but this talk didn't erupt until Obama took office, so it's pretty clear that the real source of their anger is the fact that they lost an election.

So, free elections do not bring any sense of resolution to these people. If the election doesn't go their way, they decide they don't want to be Americans anymore.

Secondly, we fought a war over the supposed right of secession. The secessionists lost. But they claim that it doesn't matter, they still claim the right to secede...which means two things. First, an election does not offer any respite if it doesn't go their way. A war doesn't offer any resolution, either. If they can't stand elections and won't accept the results of war, what, praytell, would make these people happy?

I woudn't trust these nuts with any authority over government. They aren't concerned about their rights. They're concerned about the fact that most Americans just flat-out don't agree with them. I shudder to think what a future, independent Texas would look like with these morons in control. I can tell you one thing: if you are Mexican, black, or queer, you may as well line up against the wall the day we become an independent state, because you are fucked.

Let Texas seceed. Afterwards, we invade with the U.S. military and take all their oil. :)

just can't see the advantage in allowing the state of Texas to fall wiith the rest of the nation when Texas can survive on it's own....

What would be a good reason to allow Texas to fall with the rest of the nation?

People in Texas like you account for about 20% of the total Texas population. Perhaps you missed the serious ass-whipping the Legislature has given Rick Perry over the last week?

Really, Abused? Then where was their "secessionist" cry when W. was president???

1) Is there no discussion portion or instruction segment of your classes? It can't always be break time. What the hell?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

2) While it is obvious this secession talk is highly upsetting to your delicate, sensitive, and chickish constitution, you leftists and DemoRATS routinely speak of moving to Canada or France when things don't go your way....and your own homo Texas state DemoRATs bail out of your state and hide out in border states to avoid accountability when it suits them.

Leftists - queer as hell and NEVER truthful. EVER.

States thing...

Only been in since 1845, so I can understand the reticence on part of Texicans to feel like they're part of the nation. After all...they have sent how many?...3 men to the White House.

Hahahaha! Sugarland, Texas would have gotten all those nice roads built without federal money requested by Delay?

Tell ya what....go on and seceed. But before you guys do you should have to give back every single dollar of Federal money that Texas has been given back to the Federal goverment....

That's what it is - talk.

The day they secede is the day Britney Spears wins an Oscar.

UNITED?

Do Texans "cut and run" as soon as they don't get their own way like a bunch of school children? There is and always has been other states that have been helped by the more fortunate ones, that's how America works.

If you find helping your nation out of hard times too tough then go ahead and become a traitor, take what you think is the easy way out and secede.

My guess is that you'd petition the UNITED STATES of AMERICA for membership very soon again when you realize the fuck up you have made!
