Tx history reminds us they were dead broke when they


Posted: Nov 13, 2012

So much for all that rugged spirit of independence. US history informs us that unilateral secession is unconstitutional without the consent of the remaining states except as a byproduct of revolution. The last time that notion took a test run, it was a costly, abysmal failure. Tx does have the option of seceding from itself via subdivision into smaller states that remain in the union. None of the above options pass muster with Governor Perry now that he is harboring fantasies of a second presidential run in 2016, and us Texans know very well that what Governor Perry wants, Governor Perry gets, which poses a more formidable obstacle for the petition loons who fail to do the math. At this point, those 84,000 represent 0.0039% of their 25,674,681 fellow Texans, who are ready to rumble at the last roundup at the OK corral. Bring it.;

That way the blue states won't have to pay as much for food stamps and the like. We can fix the law later..lol.

:) A little extreme, but maybe econ conservatives could - note that RED states are poorer than blue?

That maybe they should be taking economic notes on what the blue states are doing right that they are not?

kicking them out.... - anon

sure...that will solve everything, won't it. kick out the ones who disagree with you...except for one thing you probably have not thought of...what WOULD you do without the benefit income of their taxes to contribute to your "entitlement" programs??? Hmmmm.... you might actually have to get a JOB and support yourselves...heaven forbid! ':-O
I'm pretty sure JTTB was being facetious. - (nm)

Anon, 1. JTTB WAS being facetious. 2. Red states are - net RECEIVERS of money from blue states. sm

Overall, the blue states carry red, not vice versa. If the union divided, we'd end up with prosperous Canada-like blue states and rather third world-like red state regions.

That's why I suggested red states would do well to find out WHY blue states are economically more healthy and maybe dump the phony economically responsible self image that hasn't been working out well at all. For any of us.
Exactly the point....nm - JTBB

Just then a car rushed by knocking the hub cab and throwing the bolts all over the busy road. "Great!" the man said sarcastically, "What now?"

As it happens, in recent weeks I was the target of a trolling campaign and saw exactly how it works. It started when an obscure website published a post titled “CNN host Fareed Zakaria calls for jihad rape of white women.” The story claimed that in my “private blog” I had urged the use of American women as “sex slaves” to depopulate the white race. The post further claimed that on my Twitter account, I had written the following line: “Every death of a white person brings tears of j ...
