Texas Republican Wants Vote Seceding From U.S.
An executive committee member of the Texas Republican Party wants a vote on whether the state should leave the union.
…Tanya Robertson “already has support from a few other members” for her resolution, noting that she “got the idea for the resolution from the Texas Nationalist Movement.”
…The Texas Nationalist Movement, a far-right anti-government group, is hoping to include a resolution on the March primary ballot reading: “The State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation. FOR or AGAINST.”

Let them secede. Then invade.

Why?? build a wall around it

Please secede! The NFL would finally have an excuse to kick Jerry Jones and the Cowboys out of the league.
grannygrey50 November 28th, 2015 at 08:56
My husband was a Cowboys’ fan UNTIL Jerry Jones came in.

Pertaining to Texas secession, may I quote, of all people, OLIVER CROMWELL: “In the name of God, go!!!” (Uttered to the Long Parliament upon his dissolution of them).
maggie November 29th, 2015 at 23:03
now this I agree with
Merlin November 27th, 2015 at 19:22
I actually believe there would be a mass exodus from Texas in that event.
cecilia November 27th, 2015 at 20:24
and hopefully a mass flooding into texas of all the losers from the other States

Yes. I live in Texas. I have lived in Texas for sixty years – most of my adult life, but I can tell you, this is not the state it used to be. We have had, during all this time, Republicans running this state and Democrats running this state, but the last twenty years there are idiots running this state. It is an embarrassment. There is also the feeling that this is not going to change. The crazies have dug in and done so much harm that even if we got rid of them it will take a lifetime to fix so many problems.
The thing that is most astonishing is that there is this alarming case of religiosity in Texas and the rest of the South….the more religious they are the more corrupt and stupid they seem to get. It’s like some kind of a disease.

How sad.
Merlin November 28th, 2015 at 01:01
I commiserate. I remember having a buddy after the war named Tom, he left Memphis and went for a job at Love Field. He was a jet mechanic in Thailand. I went out there to see him several times, He had married the gangs party gal and she gave him some trouble. But it seemed nice, like any other place.

I lived there in 59 and taught in the Valley. Went back north to finish college and wound up back down there Labor Day of 80. Taught in San Antonio and then near Houston, remarried , and my native Texan husband and I wound up in the Pigeon Forge, TN area for about 10 years…Now we are in Floriduh…and they are almost as crazy here. I can remember when there was sanity there, too.. And, we wound up turning down teaching jobs up in East Texas because of the religiosity that was increasing rapidly…and we both would have been in trouble, especially when our Muslim nephews or Vietnamese Buddhist grand children came to visit.

I am sending this message to you especially because I really want you to see it. I want everyone to read this message, of course, but I know you will be able to connect the dots and you will take the time to do just that. I was fortunate that this appeared in the Houston Chronicle this week so I could forward it to you without my having to do so much typing and maybe messing it up. There are many news items like this but who can keep them all.. (?)… named in this article is “North Dallas Area” – All around Dallas in every direction is a area of Texas that is on what is called one of the largest hate areas in the United States. Next to the “Dallas Area” is the West Texas around Lubbock, that the Feds should be watching closely. More guns, more hate, more discrimination, more hate of anything Federal. this includes the public schools.These are the citizens who have been shaping the Republican Party for the last thirty or so years..I am saying this not because I support Republicans in any way, it is deplorable that what I call the ordinary “decent Republican,” is too cowardly to claim his/her Party back. As long as they get the votes to stay on power they don’t give a damn about what is happening to their country.
grannygrey50 November 29th, 2015 at 13:19
We usually read the Chronicle online…and my husband had commented on that article… Big Thicket area also scares me…Thanks for posting that article. HOpefully some others will read it..

Wish they would vote to leave the US. We’ll see what happens when they lose NASA, the military bases, federal institutions, and on and on. God, these are some stupid people.

They keep talking and talking BUT when the FLOOD WATERS came, it was FELITO CRUZ that asked for FEDERAL assistance from PRESIDENT Obama !!!! FUNNY THAT …………….

They always do that…the red live off the blue and whine to high heaven when the blue need help…..Sandy….

yep. and didn’t want to give any aid to anyone else.
NIGHTWATCH ABCP ........ November 29th, 2015 at 04:58
The OTHER senator from Texas, to wit, JOHN CORNYN ALSO voted AGAINST relief funding for Sandy Hook as did FELITO !! It would seem that when DISASTERS strike in OTHER states, it’s an ‘inconvenience’ to THAT state’s population but when its THEIR state, WELL, funny that AGAIN ………..
grannygrey50 November 29th, 2015 at 13:11
He seemed to have forgotten IKE, RITA, ALICIA, GILBERT, and then the wildfires two years ago.. I would have SWORN he had never known about Texas History…BUT…..maybe he suffers from dementia..and is extremely forgetful..about anything that doesn’t suit him or the Rethugs..

Bruce Ragsdale Horton November 28th, 2015 at 12:13
Have these idiots considered what will happen when the Interstates are closed down at the Borders and all flights coming from the other States are also shutdown? how long before Texas would starve?

Starve? They have sagebrush and sand, both filling.

Please do, and leave your citizenship at the door. And for God’s sake, take your politicians away.
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 29th, 2015 at 02:12
I’ve been advocating for this for over a year now. The best thing that could happen in the USA is if AL, AZ, TX, GA & SC all voted to secede from USA. Then ALL of the military pensions in those states would VANISH from Federal payments, YIPPEE ! !
They would not tax themselves, driving themselves back into the stone age. Then we could rename those areas RED States dinosaur AREAS…..
whatthe46 November 29th, 2015 at 02:18
but, why did you leave out mississipissy?
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 29th, 2015 at 02:23
They don’t know the difference between a Republic and a state. They’ve been on FEDERAL money assistance so long, they might just be smart enough to know a good thing when they have it. The population isn’t that large either.
whatthe46 November 29th, 2015 at 02:36
maybe not as large, but, still stupid.
The Original Just Me November 29th, 2015 at 13:39
A better solution would be to renegotiate the Civil War Treaty. Two separate nations are starting to look appealing.
tracey marie November 29th, 2015 at 18:02
actually know they would not, the military would be reassigned.
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 29th, 2015 at 21:02
Retired Veterans would go where honey? You have NO idea of what you’re talkin’ BOUT WILLIS…..
tracey marie November 29th, 2015 at 21:27
You can’t not pay what was already earned, try thinking before posting
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 29th, 2015 at 22:38
Your comment makes absolutely NO rational sense HONEY. If Texas secedes, then they are NOT part of the USA any longer, right?
So if they are not part of the Federal government, the citizens of Texas no longer receive ANY Federal dollars for anything.
Can you understand English sentences BABE? GET LOST you FOOL TEA Party wench. My God you people are as dumb as dirt.
tracey marie November 29th, 2015 at 22:43
uh huh…loved your racist comment…I think tRump is looking for you
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 30th, 2015 at 00:04
Please explain what racist comment I made. You seem to have no train of thought nor rationality at all in your mind honey. So why bother to comment if you don’t know what your own thoughts are about?
My God you people are as dumb as dirt. TEA Party IQ is about 85 on average and I have come into contact with NOT ONE with an IQ of over 90. I have been on TEA Party sites of all varieties for two years now SWEETHEART.
Have you heard all of the senseless conspiratorial CRAP that most TEA Partiers throw out there to get their buddies all riled UP? I doubt it. You’re a neophile MORON honey. GO the FUCK away child.
b4k9zp November 30th, 2015 at 04:39
Your racist, sexist, personal attacks negate everything you state, as always.
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 30th, 2015 at 09:22
Butt OUT old man. I could care less what you have to say. You’ve proven you are 100% wrong with every comment that you’ve made in the past 4 months you MORON. Get the Hell away from me you stalker PERV ! ! !
tracey marie November 30th, 2015 at 10:32
you are such a hard core racist like tRump you deny or worse do not even think you make racist comments. Typical
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 30th, 2015 at 12:39
If you think I made a racist comment, then copy it & paste it so I can see what you are referring to. I said TEA Partiers are STUPID and I know that as a fact my little chickadee.
Other than that, what’s racist. That is a factual statement about a group of people that are so homogeneous, they are cookie cutter Troglodytes and evidently you’re one of them.
Congratulations Sweetheart. Did you get past 9th grade in school is what I would ask you ? Don’t be a MORON little gurl…..
tracey marie November 30th, 2015 at 13:11
you are racist
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 30th, 2015 at 14:20
What are you talking about? Show me where I said anything racist. You have NO idea of what you’re talkin’ BOUT WILLIS ! ! ! !

The federal government would still be obligated to pay those pensions to veterans, ignorant one.
OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 30th, 2015 at 09:25
WRONG old MAN….When you leave your citizenship at the door, then you’re no longer a citizen , are you? SO if you renounce citizenship, then NO benefits are forthcoming.
It’s a SIMPLE legal matter of which you have NO understanding , OBVIOUSLY! You’re yet 100% WRONG in every comment crab cakes gorging MORON DIMWIT SLUG.
Obewon November 30th, 2015 at 20:34
USA Veterans benefits are paid to those entitled, regardless of their current resident country address or Citizenship.

Show me the statute that you refer to BIG BOY. If Texas secedes, then non citizenship means NO benefits for the po little Vets that fought so hard, but didn’t die for some reason. FU * * off IDIOT.
You don’t know WTF you’re talkin’ BOUT WILLIS! ! !
I could care less about Vets that signed up for whatever you thought you were getting into. It was YOUR choice ,so deal with it MORON…GET LOST CRETIN ASSHOLE! ! ! ! ! !
whatthe46 November 30th, 2015 at 21:37
you’re not very smart.
Obewon November 30th, 2015 at 21:41
A) Texas can’t secede. That’s unconstitutional and is uncompensated as ‘rebellion’-14th A.
B) Texas could never afford to repay their 10% population based U.S. National debt share $1.2 T net of $12 T, Gross $18 T.
C) You’l never be nice, or learn not to Troll, so I’ll ban you now. GTFO! “MORON…GET LOST CRETIN ASSHOLE! ! ! ! ! !”

ROFLMAO! Still proving that you prefer only to make profane and obscene personal attacks at all times in every post rather than conducting an adult discussion. Glad to know that your self-admitted IQ of 27 is still in effect!
Half of the Texas economy is military bases, salaries and veterans pensions? Gee. Fort Bliss (mostly in New Mexico), Fort Sam Houston, and Fort Hood are the only US Army installations in Texas. Goodfellow AFB, Laughlin AFB and Shepherd AFB, as well as Dyess Air Force Base, Reese Air Force Base are still open. And I believe the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Complex (Former Dallas NAS) and the Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base are still reserve training facilities. Other than those bases, Texas does not have many federal military bases any more. The military pensions portion of texas’ economy is a drop in the bucket compared to oil, cattle, and other agricultural endeavors not to mention banking and electronics manufacturing all over the state.
Texas has sent far more federal taxes to the government in Washington DC than it has ever received from washington in program spending.
