If at first you don't secede
Is it possible to seem too extreme in Texas Republican politics?

What a bunch of nutcases.... "pick up your guns and go to the hills."

12. We need to find them a place to move to. Texas is OURS and
all you good people there shouldn't have to put up with that bullshit.

I lived there for 10 years when I was a kid and loved it. We were in The Valley. Great place for a kid to grow up.

3. I say let them go- good riddance. Texas-...
Give those who want to move out- maybe over to New Mexico or to another state- a few months or so to get packed up and get the hell out of there. The rest of them can have it there way. Please. And maybe the rest of the birthers can be given automatic citizenship- they can form an entire nation of birthers aka KKK members.

8. I'm sorry - I live in Texas. I'm not about to give it up to the nutcases.

I wasn't born here and didn't like it much at first because I was homesick but now, I have a fantastic job, a great home, good friends and my children were born and raised here.

Do you realize you sound like an unfeeling jerk when you say "give those who want to move out a few months or so to get packed up and get the hell out of there".

That shit really pisses me off.

:mad:

9. Sometimes you just need to let go


I wonder if they'll build a Navy first, or just go all vigilante on land?

10. If they don't like the taxes and laws we have then they should move to Liberia.
There is probably a planet that would be willing to take them.

11. We keep Texas, and THEY have to leave. Texas is nice without the nuts.
We just need to find them a lunatic island to move to. And that way the good people of Texas don't have to worry about the guntoting traitors.

14. Texas Hill Country
One of the most beautiful places on earth.



And there are mountains out west towards El Paso. Plains up north, beaches, east Texas piney woods.

Texas is a beautiful state.
