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.”

    only if they build a wall around it to keep their crazy asses contained.

    • whatthe46 November 25th, 2015 at 18:50

      i would appreciate it if you would say let those who are sane leave freely first. i’m here as well as Tracey Marie and MeaMark.

      • dewired4u November 25th, 2015 at 19:53

        I said crazy, wasn’t talking about the people like my mom who was born in Texas but had the common sense to run like hell.

    In case anyone’s interested, here’s the Annexation Agreement 1845

    While the Texas agreement to join the union in 1845 included provisions to split Texas into as many as 5 states later, this was resolved in the Civil war after Texas rejoined the union as a single state. When Texas seceded during the civil war the deal with the 1845 agreement was void and upon readmitted, the entire state was accepted as a single unit.

    The Republic of Texas actually did lose territory after it joined the Union, part is New Mexico, part is Colorado, part is Oklahoma, part is Kansas and Wyoming.

    Seems these Texans need a history lesson. It has already been divided and such.

      AHHHH! I see another one learned their Texas History.. Congratulations..and I am NOT being snarky! I used to teach Texas History.

  4. Robert Miller November 25th, 2015 at 17:01

    I am 100% in support of Texas leaving the union. The collective IQ of the US will go up.

    • Dwendt44 November 25th, 2015 at 18:12

      But we’d still have Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

      • Robert Miller November 25th, 2015 at 18:19

        Unfortunately you are correct. It makes me want to get drunk.

        • whatthe46 November 25th, 2015 at 18:48

          i’m working on it.

          • mea_mark November 25th, 2015 at 21:10

            I’ve worked on it, and succeeded. Hiccup … burp … oh no, I got to stand up and walk to get another drink.

      • Pat Padrnos November 25th, 2015 at 20:03

        Oklahoma – alas my birthplace. Love that state – hard to see the insanity that comes out of there.

        Damn Lincoln, he should have left well enough alone.

  8. Shlarg November 25th, 2015 at 17:50

    Good ! Can we keep Austin though ? Maybe we can do a Berlin airlift kind of thing.

    • Pat Padrnos November 25th, 2015 at 20:01

      Also my sister who lives north of Dallas. Let me know when we can put together a “relief lift”.

        team 25 navy seals with red balls on their noses will do the trick.

    • Aunt Pee November 25th, 2015 at 22:59

      Please keep ME, too. I’m in Mesquite and I’m a very nice leftist.

  9. Warman1138 November 25th, 2015 at 18:01

    I have a better idea, take everyone that wants to secede and kick them out and tell them to go find another one to f#$% up.

    • whatthe46 November 25th, 2015 at 18:47

      give it back to Mexico.

      • The Original Just Me November 26th, 2015 at 05:45

        Pay Mexico to take it.

    • Jim Flindt November 26th, 2015 at 09:26

      Mexico Doesn’t WANT it…

    Please go , and take Ted Cruz with you

    Nice American patriotism you got there, lady.

    Love it or leave it. Texas AND the USA.

  13. Pat Padrnos November 25th, 2015 at 19:59

    Works for me – although I will miss my wonderful sister who thinks much of Texas is b….it crazy.

  14. Lyndia November 25th, 2015 at 20:19

    A nickel in the front, a dime in the slack, you look better going, than you do coming back.

  15. Beau Phillips November 26th, 2015 at 02:55

    On one hand, Ted Cruz would be a foreigner again… but on the other, he might move…

    • grannygrey50 November 27th, 2015 at 08:36

      Dang, did you have to remind us of that…(that he might move).

    • cecilia November 27th, 2015 at 21:06

      not if we make against the law :)

  16. bpollen November 26th, 2015 at 04:16

    Let ’em. When their economy tanks, their government goes broke, we should be able to buy it back at bargain basement prices.

    • cecilia November 27th, 2015 at 21:05

      I don’t want it back. I want to build a giant wall around that hell hole and let them rot in there

      • Robert Kennedy November 29th, 2015 at 01:19

        If I owned Hell and Texas I’d live in Hell and sell Texas.

  17. The Original Just Me November 26th, 2015 at 05:43

    I think I want to temporarily move to Texas so I can support her and vote for idea. BUT, if Texas became an Independent Country, they would be the Biggest askers for U.S. Foreign Aid.

    • fahvel November 26th, 2015 at 10:24

      nah, you just want one supercool passport with bull horns and cowboys and not one single immigrunt.

      • The Original Just Me November 26th, 2015 at 10:42

        One super cool with bull horns, I’m thinking 1964, Pink, Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, with Long Horns on the hood, for a campaign wagon complete with BIG PA system. Oh, don’t forget the ten gallon White cowboy hat.

        • Robert Kennedy November 29th, 2015 at 01:18

          As if there are ten gallons of brains in the entire Texas Republican party.

    • cecilia November 27th, 2015 at 21:04

      they can ask – it doesn’t mean they’ll get anything

      • The Original Just Me November 27th, 2015 at 21:11

        Oh, I am very familiar with that scenario.

        • Gina Bousquet November 30th, 2015 at 23:39

          LOL

          • The Original Just Me November 30th, 2015 at 23:44

            That’s a home kept situation.

            • Gina Bousquet December 1st, 2015 at 09:41

              It’s the way you said it … :)

                It finally showed up. It was listed twice on my email but 4 minutes apart. Weird. If you add @gmail.com to the other letters I sent you, you can send me a note if you want to. Garry

                • Gina Bousquet December 1st, 2015 at 17:47

                  I did it. Something must be missing… Got a failure notice. Will try again!

                • Gina Bousquet December 1st, 2015 at 17:56

                  I keep trying to send it. Not succeeding. Will try again tomorrow.

                  I keep trying…

                    MRGMNSR , you might check this out. It is a little plainer.

                    • Gina Bousquet December 1st, 2015 at 20:35

                      I just asked Rg about the correct one. Seems easier… He’ll probably answer me tomorrow. But I’ll try again now :)

          • The Original Just Me December 1st, 2015 at 13:24

            I’m trying to reply to your last reply. It’s the way you said it. But I can’t seem to pull it up. Write these letters down and keep them. mrgmnsr I will send another reply to go along with them and it will make sense. Garry

            • Gina Bousquet December 1st, 2015 at 13:56

              Funny, “it’s the way you said it” vanished from the page. I can’t see it either…

  18. Emma Bishop November 26th, 2015 at 06:13

    Good! Which means America finally gets rid of Ted Cruz.

    • rg9rts November 27th, 2015 at 04:43

      and Gohmert, Perry, DeLay, Abbot……………

  19. Paul Muenkel November 26th, 2015 at 06:25

    We can move the troops out of Ft. Hood along with their equipment and paychecks. Then move NASA out. The NFL might have to boot the Cowboys and Texans since it is the National Football League, not the International League. But by all means go.

    • Dwendt44 November 26th, 2015 at 12:53

      Texas has more military bases than any other state IIRC, and you can bet that those military pay checks make up a huge part of Texas’s economy. That will be gone, as will NASA, and a bunch of other federal agencies and departments.
      Commit economic suicide, I dare you Texas.

      • tracey marie November 26th, 2015 at 13:00

        texas just whined for disater relief money from Obama, Texas are bitchin because the money is coming “so late”…meanwhile the truth is Abbot just asked for money a week ago…Obama’s fault.

    • grannygrey50 November 26th, 2015 at 21:22

      The worst part is that Texas could actually almost survive as a country. BUT..not too sure if the corporations with the refineries, and chemical plants in the Houston area would like to have to deal with taxes in both Texas and then have the US place tariffs on their goods for them to come into the country. They can be self-sufficient in energy, they are the world’s 5th largest producer of rices. BUT, then what would the status of those born or living in Texas be? Are they US citizens still? What would happen to all those who paid into SS and are collecting? They do have National Guard units..so they would have a military..after a fashion..They would lose the Space Center at NASA.. I am sure, she would love to write the budget to pay for the interstates that are in Texas, and how would they settle the issue of all the US federal lands there? I would love it if someone would ask her some questions. Not sure Cruz would like giving up his salary, and then, there really could be some serious questions about his ‘birthright”.

      • rg9rts November 27th, 2015 at 04:41

        And who would the go to …hat in hand and palm out when natural disaster strikes…they are the first to deny aid to the blue but first in line to get Federal bucks

        • cecilia November 27th, 2015 at 21:01

          I would love NOT given those losers tax money form my State

          • rg9rts November 27th, 2015 at 22:13

            The red states get more back than they put in….who makes up the difference??? Except Kansas…but that is a planet unto its own

      • OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 29th, 2015 at 02:21

        If Texas were to secede, they are on their own. Federal monies would cease for anyone there, Vets benefits, LOTS of that, any Federal benefits would just stop.

        Either those that have paid into Social Security stay in the U.S. or it’s lost. HARDBALL is the only way to play with Texans. I know that because of Donald Trump…..(humor ?)

        They aren’t very bright and if they do this, then that will be MORE than obvious to anyone.

        • b4k9zp November 30th, 2015 at 04:40

          Yeah, we’d take our 3rd largest economy in the western hemisphere with us, depriving the US government of about 3/4ths of its tax revenue, making its deficits 3 trillion dollars per year instead of the 1.2 trillion per year that they are running now.

          • OrdinaryNeutronAlley November 30th, 2015 at 10:31

            WRONG CRAB CAKES Man! RED States take more Federal dollars than they contribute to the Federal government. You couldn’t be more than 100% WRONG on this stuff or can you be?

            Half of the Texas economy is military bases, salaries and Veterans pensions. So subtract that money from whatever inaccurate figures you’re trying to slide on by the dimwitted OLD MAN.

            You are just simply STUPID and an uncorrectable MORON.
            You could be MORE than 100% WRONG because for you anything that relates to stupidity is POSSIBLE DUMB AS DIRT TEA Bagged IDIOT! ! ! GO THE FUCK AWAY ASSHOLE……

      • whatthe46 November 29th, 2015 at 02:40

        “BUT, then what would the status of those born or living in Texas be? Are they US citizens still?” nope! “Are they US citizens still? What would happen to all those who paid into SS and are collecting?” maybe they should have thought about that first. you leave you lose. “They do have National Guard units..so they would have a military..after a fashion.” I don’t’ see how. the military doesn’t belong to them. therefore, that lose any rights to them.

        • grannygrey50 November 29th, 2015 at 14:58

          National Guard units are STATE militia…and are under the control of the Governor unless the Feds call them to active duty. So, they would ‘kind of have’ a military. The US government has given Guard units weaponry, planes, tanks, etc..so..they would have those still…

          • DetroitSam November 29th, 2015 at 19:04

            Until the weaponry, planes, tanks, etc., break down. Let’s see them manufacture their replacement parts. Or they could purchase defective parts from some third world country.

  20. grannygrey50 November 26th, 2015 at 20:07

    Actually, mea_mark, she could be. When Texas decided to join the US as a state in 1849, they did maintain the right to secede. They did secede during the Civil War. In order to be allowed to rejoin the Union after the war, they had to give up that right. Obviously she did not bother paying attention to Texas History in school there. I taught Texas History, and this is one fact which a lot of people forget about secession for Texas .. HOWEVER, there are times I would like to throw them out…trouble is, I am married to a native Texan.. BUT..he is NOT of her ilk.

    • rg9rts November 27th, 2015 at 04:38

      Texas History is in constant revision by the Texas Board of Education under the mandate to write history as they remember it…not as it was
