Fivehead Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Before I run this up the flagpole, let me say that I'm not threatening to leave the country if this guy or that guy wins. I just think it may be an idea whose time has come, especially in light of recent rumblings in Montana about doing just that. What do you think? Should Texas secede from the USA? Here are the positives. We immediately stop paying federal income tax. We immediately become the 14th richest nation on the face of the Earth. We can drill like there's no tomorrow, build all the refineries we want and become a petroleum exporting country. We already have our own Army. We can have a President of Texas election and get rid of Rick Perry in favor of President Berman and Vice President Eltife. We don't have to worry about either of these guys signing the Kyoto treaty or cap and trade or any of that ####. We don't have to care what Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reed or any of those idiots say. Here are the negatives: Thank you, Fivehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino2K Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Sounds good to me too. I'd be without a job, but at least I'd be paying less for gas because this "nation" would be an oil drillin' son-of-a-gun. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxBroadcaster Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Saying we should secede if a certain person wins is no better than Hollywood stars saying they will move away when George W. Bush was running, both IMO is sour grapes..If the person you dont want to win does win, IMO you respect the office they uphold and hope 4 years later you can vote in your candidate Loving your Country does not mean loving everyone in office, but it does mean not abandoning your country just because your not happy with who is President Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not his name was mentioned, the implication is there..and yes I know fivehead even said he was not talking specifically about if a certain person one, but again the implication is there And either way, How could ANYONE talk about secession if everyone supposedly loves their country so much? So I guess I will throw out a follow-up...where does yout true allegiance lie?..US or Texas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 If Texas Seceded, it would be with Texas. If there was a vote to secede, I would vote yes. If it doesnt secede then Im fine with that as well. We all know its a moot point anyway. It will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"SECEDE" bumper stickers have been around since Barrack Hussein Obama was in the madrassa, so the idea is not specific to him. If the US Congress and the Federal court system continue to lead us to the nanny state, secession seems a reasonable alternative, regardless which liberal wins the general election.
