Secessionists
Governor Rick Perry of Texas had some interesting ideas about how to protest the Obama administration’s policies at one of his state’s tea baggin’ shindigs:
“There’s a lot of different scenarios,” Perry said. “We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.”
If Republicans love America so much, why are they in such a hurry to leave? I mean, the whole idea of re-enacting the “Tea Party” seems to be that Republicans are thinking it’s time to revolt against their own country. Seems pretty unpatriotic to me, but I’m just a simple country graduate student who loves his country.

I kinda wish they would.
At the very least Dallas.
Jesus Christ, these people are acting like the biggest babies.
As Jon Stewart said, "You LOST. It's SUPPOSED to taste like a shit taco."
Texas is -- well, it's the crazy uncle you don't tell acquaintances about. Not evil, not wrong, but different.
Which doesn't equate to right, of course.
Oh, and ElizabethLynn? Exactly right.
Ok, so I've been thinking. If Texas were to secede out of protest of a big federal government, wouldn't their local state government become their new federal? Would their counties become their new states?
