[/quote] For who? The white house and obummer YES! For the people of TEXAS NO! If you're one of those LIBERAL PUKES living in Austin you are kindly invited to leave the state at your earliest possible convenience! Another words GET OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] LMAO!!! Nope...not a liberal puke. I actually voted Ron Paul and Gary Johnson at separate times. Really put this into practical function...there is no way to defend ourselves. We would be a defenseless nation, wiped out by Mexican drug cartels/China. [/quote] You're kidding? Texas has its own Air force and a guard that belongs to Texas. Not to mention the percent of population with guns. In the recent past it had a surplus of tax money with no income tax. Oil refineries out the ass, imagine what other states would pay for gas and other oil related products to be refined. It wasn't to many years ago when this came up that it was determined Texas would be the 8th largest country in terms of GNP. I also think if you cut the Texans loose to take care of the boarder problems there wouldn't be any. GLAD to see you're not one of them!!!! Buckle up it's just getting interesting! [/quote] I don't get the presumption that Texas can't defend itself. It is the size of France,the largest country in europe and probably has a better economy.Not to mention the assets you speak of.

It looks like the White House isn't that interested in the idea of Texas seceding from the US. They didn't respond to the petition upto now although only 25,000 signatures are needed, whereas this prerequisite has been met for about a month now.

This is interesting. I wonder what the US government is going to do about this... I guess it will end with a whimper, not a bang.
