That’s my spontaneous reaction to the declaration of corrupt New York Democrat Charles Rangel about the gun control issue:
New York is different and more progressive than a lot of areas in other states, and some of the Southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome.
President Obama has issued 23 executive orders, which Mark Levin declares are “un-American” and “fascistic,” and Texas Gov. Rick Perry says:
“The Second Amendment to the Constitution is a basic right of free people and cannot be nor will it be abridged by the executive power of this or any other president.”
Hell, yeah. So when are you Texans going to secede, so all us freedom-loving Americans can move to Texas and escape the fascistic power of corrupt dishonest “progressives” like Charlie Rangel? Because I’m thinking maybe they’ll think twice about the need to “overcome” an independent Republic of Texas with a population of 26 million.
From what I understand, Texas has the right to split itself up into as many as five states. Eight new GOP Senators from _____ Texas wouldn’t give the GOP immediate control of the Senate, but Chuckie boy wouldn’t be feeling so confident if the Senate was divided 55-53 instead of 55-45.
How long now before Democrats start banning Legos?

We would, of course, welcome y’all, but y’all have to leave behind the ideas that kept you from moving earlier.
Reinstate the doctrine of interposition? The theory of nullification?
There’s no reason you can’t start administering tests at the borders…
Can we dead move there too?
Chicago is always welcoming the dead. It keeps the voter roles nice and democrat.
Hmmmm. Not a bad idea…
All the more reason to move to Texas!
McCain, they will never let us go. Not EVER.
Texas has 29 of the nation’s oil refineries (the largest number by far), 10 of which are large capacity production plants (over 200,000 bbl/d). This means we supply the country with a huge chunk of it’s fuel.
Also, Texas has the second and third largest ports in the US in terms of total trade. With regards to foreign imports, the Port of Houston is the largest. In fact, out of about 150 ports in the US, Texas has 6 in the top 25. I’m pretty sure imports play a significant role in our economy.
Rangle and his ilk may ridicule us…but they don’t really want us to leave. Like he said, they just want us to submit. Unfortunately Mr. Rangle, it’s not in our DNA to kneel.
TYRANNY! Except that Obama has issued the fewest executive orders of any president in 100 years. http://dld.bz/bZ9Xy
Also, the US Army will get a head start “overcoming” Texas, since there are two armored divisions an hour’s drive north of Austin at Fort Hood.
Just as folks had to see for themselves that the Soviet Union was too big to successfully govern its many peoples, Americans are realizing that DC is too centralized to work. The right of self-determination is as basic as the right to self-defense.
*yawn*
All it took was Bush opening his mouth and you lefties were screaming “FASCIST” and calling for snipers.
Oh, I can see it now: “Let us go, or we sent Ted Cruz back to the Senate for a second term. Let us go, and we take all those sure-thing electoral votes for the GOP (not to mention Ron Paul) with us.”
It’s in the Democrats’ interests to let Texas go.
You presume US troops will fire on Dad and Granpa and Uncle Bob…
Now the lefties have a real Facist and are calling him a great president. The lefties have a problem with reality, among other problems.
[…] my friends, what do you want to happen if and when the constitutionality of Obama’s twenty-three gun-related executive orders* is challenged? The orders can be challenged both on the merits, and on the constitutionality of […]
Betcha they would if they’ve been told that Dad, Granpa and Uncle Bob are evil, racist and don’t recycle.
Be careful who you welcome. You might get people from the NE and they can do a lot harm, as we know, in politics. Texas will end up like Florida.
Chicago screwed you over, big time, in 1960.
The American Republic can work at it’s current size if, and only if, the balance between the national government and the states is restored to the way it was at The Founding. Starting mid-19th Century, the states began losing their Constitutional place through the efforts of Leftists at both the state and national levels.
As in the 18th Century, our only cope for a restoration of our freedoms and liberties lies in the states [colonies].
The national government is a lost cause.
Every official that takes an oath to uphold The Constitution has an obligation, a duty, not to enforce laws that he believes are unConstitutional.
It was the dead vote held by the Daley machine. One of the reasons I started the Dead Citizen’s Rights Society … let the dead vote for themselves, not the Democrat party!
Why do you think the South is so “blessed” with military bases?
[…] asks “when are you Texans going to secede?” and seems to be in favor of us doing just that. And, I must say, his reaction to the King of […]
Belvedere is OK, even if he is from New England. And he does like Bourbon, so he’d fit right in. EBL would to. Right along with all those other Beef Cows. She might not like the last part. I think Chik-Fil-A is a bit thin on the ground down there. Chikin just ain’t manly enough.
Then the Rest of the Confederacy can go! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehah! Let’s do it! Then New England can stew in its own juices and nash their teeth while they watch the rest of us get rich!
I’m tellin’ ya Bob. You and the little woman better get down to God’s country or you won’t be able to get any more Maker’s Mark afore long.
The racist part is OK. The don’t recycle part? Bring back the KZs stat!
Actually, Joe, some of us live in other parts of the South a/k/a the “Bible Belt” and we like our states and our Southern friends. But if our own states won’t secede before it’s too late to keep from going down with the ship, we hope that y’all will welcome us to Texas. We certainly won’t be bringing along any of those types of ideas that you quite rightly object to!
How patriotism becomes idolatry, and why secession is the ONLY answer
I feel like Solzhenitsyn in the USSR.
