Texas Republicans Reserve the Right to Secede

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Lots of fun stuff in the Texas Rs' platform

State Sovereignty

20. State Sovereignty: Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1 of the Texas Constitution, the federal
government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation
that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas shall be ignored, opposed, refused, and
nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be
called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto and pass the Texas Sovereignty Act as filed in the
88th Legislative regular session as HB 384.

Well, we would be happy to pull all of our defense contracts out of there I guess along with the our national ATC facilities, military bases, etc...We could even build a wall around it.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

It would be great if they seceded and we built a kick ass wall separating them from us. Trapping all of the illegals there.

[noStemsnoSTICKS]

IF this happens (and god, I really hope it does), I'd definitely be interested in building a wall. Especially if we make Texas pay for it.

 

[bagdropper]

Maybe Mexico will take them (back) in.

 

[LuciousBDragon]

Wait, so now it’s cool to build walls?

 

[noStemsnoSTICKS]

Wait, so now it’s cool to build walls?

To keep out Texas rednecks?

Hell to the yes. It's not only cool, it should be mandated.

 

[franklinman]

Don't let the door hit them in the ass, when it closes.

 

[TC Nole OX]

They can't keep the lights on when the weather changes even slightly. I hope they do leave and a lot of red hats migrate there to enjoy right wing paradise. Backwards dumases won't last a year on their own.

Kind of like South Africa after killling and running off the white farmers

Nah, just embargos and highway checkpoints. Then pass a law allowing any Texan that wishes join the US to have immediate dual citizenship, and remove military infrastructure.

 

[franklinman]

Cuba, running out of money, their citizens made a run on the money, can only get $40. if anything . Who gets the blame, the Americans.

Yup, then dismantle all of the HV interconnections with the rest of the US power grid.

They will never secede, they’re too used to leaching off the rest of the country.

Read up on Zimbabwe and them running the farmers off. Once the breadbasket of Africa. Now a total shithole.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Bye Felica.

Seriously Texas can't keep the power on when they get a little bit of bad weather.

No way do they survive without the rest of the US propping them up.

 

[Chewback]

Be nice if we could send our Iowa Republicans with them.

Is borrowing to fulfill defense contracts and military bases a secret to prosperity?
Is North Korea rich and nobody realized it?


I do find the pettiness in the secession threads notable.
There are some people who always want to inflict some kind of punishment on the people who would fulfill the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and try to organize a better government.

WASHINGTON – They met virtually on Zoom, four days over two weeks in June, to hold simulations known in the military and intelligence communities as "war games."

There were 67 players – many of them high-profile critics of President Donald Trump – including law professors, retired military officers, former senior U.S. officials, political strategists and attorneys.

Instead of mapping out a geopolitical conflict, the group peered ahead to the Nov. 3 election, now less than 90 days away, and explored how the race between Trump and Joe Biden could turn into a post-election crisis.

John Podesta, a former top aide to President Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton's former chief of staff, played Biden. Two outspoken Republican critics of Trump, David Frum and Bill Kristol, portrayed the president.


https://www.documentcloud.org/docum...ng-a-Disrupted-Presidential-Election-and.html

The Biden Campaign encouraged Western states, particularly California but also Oregon and Washington, and collectively known as “Cascadia,” to secede from the Union unless Congressional Republicans agreed to a set of structural reforms to fix our democratic system to ensure majority rule. With advice from President Obama, the Biden Campaign submitted a proposal to
1) Give statehood to Washington, DC and Puerto Rico;
2) Divide California into five states to more accurately represent its population in the Senate;
3) Require Supreme Court justices to retire at 70; and
4) Eliminate the Electoral College, to ensure that the candidate who wins to the popular vote becomes President.

It’s about time. Good riddance

Even less excuse, then.

American taxpayers = yes
Illegals crossing illegally= no

You make perfect sense.

I thought that was the former Rhodesia?

BTW it’s a load of BS.
The former Republic of Texas does not have the right to secede. They do have the right to break up into seven states though. I think there’s a decent chance not all of them would be red, either.

The clowns who wrote & signed that clearly neglected to include "if you were born in 'merica" after the part about being created equal.

Meh, so we lose Texas. On the up side we lose Ted Cruz. Ask them how well Brexit has worked out for the UK.

Brexit’s Lasting Damage Is Looking Inescapable

By almost every economic and financial measure, parting ways with the EU almost eight years ago has been disastrous for the UK. Is there no end in sight?

It happened in the former Rhodesia. They've all left.
South Africa has also had a high number of farm attacks, including rape and murder.

South Africa's ANC defends "Kill the Boer" song​

The lyrics of the song, sung in Zulu, translate as "kill the farmer, kill the Boer", referring to the former ruling white minority.
