I'm so glad you posted this. I was just saying that Texans should really start thinking about thier right to pull out from the Union. I'm sure that would create a huge rippliing effect through out the rest of the united states though.

It would send a real message if texas did. As far as the federal goverment not allowing texas to. The federal goverment would not use military power. Texas has a well equiped national guard and would have thousand if not tens of thousands of volunteers in militias!!!

Their national guard wouldn't have any equipment had it not been given to them by the federal government.
Does this mean that Texas would take responsibility for their part of the border problem? Doubtful since they have yet to do so w/ their oh so powerful national guard.
As much noise as the Texas governor is making about succession, I bet he is still accepting stimulus money as are Texans in general.
The day Texas as a whole stands up and rejects every penny of that stimulus is the day I would support that state to succeed, because then & only then would they proove they are willing to stand on their own.

important people come up missing too and also i bet the government officials that we don't know about can be very convincing . but straight out in the open military force would never be used .

Texas has rejected all 555 million in stimulus money they were offered.

of course if 30% of Texas salaries and wages weren't going to the feds...they'd have the money to protect the border.
On the other hand, providing for a national defense is supposed to be the sole purpose of a federal government.

Not to mention the billions that Texas recieves from the feds via the Dept. Transportation, Law Enforcement, etc

Take comfort that Obama's stimulus package is costing your children and grand children $144,000 per person. And you thought Bush was bad.

Well texas would recieve more money because less would be going to the Feds so. Either way they can still pay for it.

Just because less would be going to the Feds doesn't mean more would be going to Texas.
What is Texas going to do? Raise taxes? Isn't that kind of contradictory to do? If people wanted the higher taxes, they would have stayed in the Union in the first place.

Look at it like this......just President Obama way of being President Lincoln like. President Lincoln had a crisis of Southern State Seceding. President Obama needs a succession crisis as well.
Let us face it...unless President Obama successfully faces every imagined crisis a President can face...he cannot not be numero uno
on the great Presidential list.

Texas State Troopers do rotations to help the military out on the border patrol. And Jay is correct about Texas not accepting O BAMA's payout that comes with too many strings. You should really do your homework before you go wagging that tongue.
We could also start protecting the border the way it should be protected...alot of the problem there is all the government rules and regulations they have to follow before our guys can open fire or send them back across the border.
Are you forgetting that you're talking about a state that is all for killing people...we're the home of sparky. You think Texans won't be able to handle their own??? There's a reason terrorists don't target Texas!!!!
Texas has always reserved the right to pull out and become its own country. Texas has all of its own resources. It's not as far fetched as some think it is.

What are they going to target? The Dallas Cowboys?
As far as it being far fetched, its not nearly as magical of an idea either as some think it is.

Nah they would target stupid people....after all can't fix stupid!!!
If you're any indication of the state of Pennsylvania maybe well start there.
In all seriousness I was talking about that mexican border that you seem so threatened by and very stupidly stated that Texas does nothing to help.

It not a basis for my argument, its my way of saying you don't understand the basic concepts of what i am arguing and it isn't worth it if you can't even understand that.
