Texas Nationalist group rallies for secession

[TrailDust]

so....someone opens up a thread and wants input...I gave mine. Sorry if it isn't complementary to those I consider a bit looney. Perhaps if a thread is started entitled "secessionist supporters only" you won't see anyone disagree with your position.

+1 Well said.

Far fetched splinter fringe groups of small numbers like this exist in every society. Even they know that they have exactly ZERO chance of ever making this happen. They just want the publicity it brings.

Let's just call it Alex Jones Syndrome

Just curious why we have a lower population than California, but we have more folks on food stamps? I'm sure illegals play a huge roll, but would have thought the same for CA... Can someone explain?

No need for secession to deal with this topic.
All ya gotta do is cut the bumbs off! If a person is able to work, we got plenty of county's in Texas that need trash picked up. Lots of roads that need mowing. Lots of pothots to fill..ect......
No State funding for the lazy worthless trash that thinks someone owe's them something!

At the rate the Mexican immigrant population (both legal and illegal) is increasing in Texas, you may find yourselves looking a lot like California in the not too distant future as their voting block and/or influence perverts Texas's state politics. Sad, but likely true.

I am not sure but there are huge parts of Texas that have massive poverty levels. Rio Grande Valley comes to mind. Areas with whole towns on the Lone Star Card. I dont know if California has this problem.

Illegals coming across the border are taught that they can sign up for welfare as soon as they get here. Hell most cities have staff dedicated to doing only that. It's disgusting.

And unless you guys in Texas do something about it, you're in deep caca. Demographics are a bitch once the immigrant population outnumbers classic Texans.

CA has a higher median income, but with it comes a much higher cost of living. The poverty line there is effectively higher, but that isn't taken into account by the feds. CA has its own welfare system...

Texas has the right to suceed, and we can keep our income taxes that go to Omammy's slush fund, the United states goverment has nothing to offer us and true patriots are going to finally take control of the great state of Texas back from the traitors.

That's a pipedream. It's also incorrect on several levels.

Texas does not retain the right to secede. It's a myth. Believe me, there have been many times that I wish it was true... but it's not.

Texas not only can secede, Texas should secede! There is no advantage to Texas to remain in the Union, the advantage is only to the Union. Some of y'all sound like damn Yankees that need Texas Citizenship courses!

Nothing in writing says Texas has the right to secede. It's an old wive's tale. I'm not saying we should not... just that it's not true that we have the option.

 

[Texan2]

Texas seccession equates to Texas committing suicide.

It ranks right up there with Ron Paul saying he was going to abolish the IRS!

 

[lalonguecarabine]

Not checking my references, just "shooting from the hip" here:
But if I remember correctly, we DID have the right to secede when we joined the Union back in the 1840's, but after the Civil War, we gave up that right as a condition for rejoining the rest of the United States.
It's a nice dream that we could secede and be self sufficient and better off with "all our own rules for all our own people", but reality is so much different!
zembonez called it a pipedream. I think that's the most accurate one word description we could have come up with on this.

 

[just jk]

for all of you who bring up the illegal immigration argument.....just think, if Texas secedes, we'd have illegals coming across 2 rivers....

The first time Texas and Mexico got crossways Texas would be looking for cover behind the military might of the U.S.....we have already done this once.

I doubt it. Mexico ain't what it was a hundred seventy years ago, and neither is Texas. Only about a hundred years ago, Texas was still frontier land. Back in the 1840s, Mexico was actually a nation ascendant and pretty powerful. They'd taken France and Spain on and won against each; that wasn't any small feat back then. Now, Mexico is just a big third world slum. Their police and military are easily bribed, their public officials are even more corrupt than ours (which is scary when you think about it), and it's hard to get anybody there to give a shit about their own fate.

No.. Mexico isn't really a threat.
