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.

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?

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
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.
I say we kick the blue states out and stop - Communism. Keep patriotism. 47 states secede.

Car Broke DownJul 20, 2010A man was driving along a busy road when he blew a tire. He pulled over by a field. On the other side of the field was an asylum. The man proceeded to change his flat tire. He took off the hub cab and placed the bolts into it. All the while a patient from the asylum stopped to watch. 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?"

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 ...
