Should Texas secede? Question may appear on Republican primary ballot

Hey now, Scrump. Don't nuke my hometown!

Seriously.

You know me.

Get er' done.

We just need to forcibly relocate all of Austin to somewhere in Californication.

And we'll take all the rural Californians in exchange.

Problem solved.

I'm all for that. Was in Austin in July for the TaeKwonDo Nationals (daughter competed). I think I saw more weirdos on 6th Street than on Bourbon St. Great burgers at Chupacabra(sp?) though.

yes. Austin is totally Californiaesque. it just doesn't fit.

.

Good luck with that. All of my friends & neighbors here are loaded for bear, and any other asshole who wants to come for us. Conservatives and libs alike. We know how to take care of business.

Fckin hell, it's such an embarrassment

How did lil' LJS do? Sorry I missed the opportunity to meet y'all. Would have bought you some fine TexMex and/or sushi.

She had 40 competitors. Came in #17. Not bad for her first time at Nationals.

Had lots of Mexican and BBQ during our visit. Went to College Station so hubby could visit his Alma Mater & buy t-shirts. Otherwise, spent most of the trip in Rockwall visiting family & laying by the pool.

Wassup with the nutters who move to Austin, then complain about the smell of BBQ smoke??

I just don't get it. BBQ smells awesome!

You and I will enforce the vetting.

I'm for bullhorn street announcements followed by death squads... Efficiency is everything.

30 guys in some kook group want to secede.

I have never understood how we can pretend to be a democracy while we do not allow the majority of citizens in a state to decide whether or not they WANT TO BE PART of the US!!!! The very essence of a democracy is the ability to make free associations especially in government. I can't say whether Texas should secede but they - and any OTHER state - should have the absolute RIGHT to do so, or our "democracy" is as meaningless as most of us think it is.

Sweet.

Next time, I expect the opportunity to buy.

I learned long ago don't try to talk "Logic" to a Texan or Southerner. Once their mind is made up they don't care what the Facts are, they are NOT going to change their opinion.

Yep:

What would Dallas /Ft Worth be like if it ceased being a Transit Hub for the US because it would be a "foreign country" (airlines, trucking companies, railroads) making it a requirement for passports, border control, vehicle inspections etc. and all the delays those entail.

What would Houston be like when 1/2 of it's oil industry headquarters, geologists, and assorted types like that left town since it was no longer a part of the US? Obviously NASA would leave too along with all the related high tech development that still feeds off of that.

What would San Antonio be like when the USAF would pull out ENTIRELY?

All the aircraft manufacturing in the state that revolves around US Defense Contracting .... GONE, along with their related industries, suppliers, and educated engineers.

Ditto the electronics industry that is tied to the US Defense Department. Can have design OR MANUFACTURING of defense related electronics done in a foreign country.

"Texas" would remain as a physical place but much of the core of it's White technically skilled class, the people who separate from oil who drive the jobs and economy of Texas forward, would be moving away because their employers would be moving out of the COUNTRY of Texas.

That movement of the educated WHITE population out of the state would accentuate the growing population of Mexican Latino's ... and speed up the day that is coming anywhere where demographics make Texas a Mexican satellite state ... "Mexico Lite" if you will.

I have found that those who are Chest Thumping Texans don't seem to be very good at math ... they can't understand the numbers of the Demographic Wave that is about to sweep over Texas and make it the second large state in the US to become predominately Latino (California is #1)

Nation of Islam isn't even part of this discussion.

we'd love oklahoma and arkansas

Will they kick out all the illegals if the secede?

We'd have to nuke Austin.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but it is very important to understand that America was founded as a Constitutional Republic and NOT as a Democracy. There is a big difference, and people have been led by the education system and the media over the years to believe that we live in a democracy.

Oh, and yes, Texas, let's secede.

I think thst it is important to point out that this country was intended to be a Constitutional Republic as so very many people have been mislead.

Democracy: 4 wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner.
