Texas Can Leave The Union…
Duh…
Rick Perry was slinging this little cheer inducing slogan around. I am not a huge Rick Perry fan, but he definitely has some politics in his future plans, maybe?? I would be all for leaving the union. Let’s call it a trial seperation. Just a four year “break” we can try again in 2012. This weeks Office of Homeland Security shit is just going to make this even more an issue.
Would this happen? So very very unlikely. I think the Federal government would have to try and take our guns here in Texas… that would do it. I just have one request before I start planning to run for Supreme Ruler of Texas… I want all those leftist whiners in Austin deported before we form Texas/Jenniferland.
Just sayin…

What was probably the icing on the cake for the tea parties was when Rick Perry, Texas’ governor stated that Texas can secede from the union. That will draw a lot of attention but more importantly it sends the message that these movements are serious for such strong words to be used. While the media will say they Texas does not have the right to do this outright (there are some court cases which agree, there are certain paths they can take to get this goal).
While they do not have the right to do this outright, there are certain paths they can take to get this goal. Come on, you know this is possible because this is the same country which gives exceptions to tax cheats through cleaver legal
maneuvers.
Really it is just using the legal system creatively.
Texas probably has the best chance at success. Here is just one way how it can work. The annexation agreement made when Texas joined the union provided that Texas would be able to divide into 5 states. This would create 8 more conservative Senators.
If Texas were to try to divide and be rebuffed, the US would be in violation of the agreement and Texas should be able to go free.
It is not all that far fetched.
Regardless of the TX situation, the movement was larger than expected. And it is just a start because the thing about grass roots is that it will only take hold, grow and spread.

If it happens, I will be the first immigrant. I’ve been considering it as a preemptive move anyway. That way I won’t be illegal

Agree….the leftist whiners have Got to go.
If we secede, I want my own city.
The only speed signs would be for a MINIMUM MPH….and a Suggested Speed.
Statistically, the people who are below the speed limit are the ones who are the biggest traffic hazards.

Well, as I hail from the land of the Whiskey Rebellion, I’ll come on down and rekindle the Rye industry, should be profitable. Revolution requires ample lubrication doncha know. The Official Whiskey of the Secession—see I’ve got the slogan already.

Oh, but I think my current home of Florida has dibs on leaving first. We’ve got the momentum on account of the rest of the 49 pretty much agreeing it’s about time for Florida to go…

Why don’t we ever hear of, say, Arkansas wanting to secede?

One word… Deliverence.
Obama wouldn’t go in there and force the issue. His mouth is too purty.

Deliverance is funny if you watch it with the French subtitles.

OK, someone sent me a link to your “Ten Things I Cannot Muster Enough Energy to Give a Rat’s Ass About” post, and I laughed so hard I peed my pants. So I started browsing thinking, “this chic’s cool, fellow IT-er, likes Starship Troopers, doesn’t like “Hope and Change”, hates the AMT … now I see you’re for Texas seceding from the “Union” and I’m thinking damn girl, we’ve got to get a drink and do some shoe shopping!!
