Thread: The New Republic of Texas?

I'll support a Texan secession if we could get their support for a California one.

Interesting point, however, I think Texas would also see an influx of people who willingly would want to live there as well.

Packin the razors now, just in case.

Can you say, "Yee Haw !!!"

Probably have more trouble from illegal immigration from NM here in TX than you would from Texans in the land of disenchantment. I'm sure there would be a mass exodus all of our liberlistas that would run to Santa Fe to hang out with the rest of the old hippies.

You're welcome to 'em.

Why the

Like I said, I think this whole secession thing, for most folks was more symbolic than an earnest attempt to seceed. However, over 700,000 folks total supported it. Let's just assume that 10% were wackos that in the absence of a peaceful secession were willing to do so by application of force. That's 70,000 pissed off, heavily armed people. I'm fairly certain that would get the government's attention. Let's hope it doesn't come to that though. Kind of scary when you think about it. I'd bet that Obama's buddy Bill Ayres would probably sit this revolution out.

Heck, most of Eastern N.M are all transplanted Texans and Oklahomans anyway and rich Texans own most of New Mexico as it stands now.

Something else that needs to be considered...look at all of the other states that have followed suit...

I think the "secede" movement could be used to send a strong message to the Federales that the states are tired of having their rights stripped by executive order.

IF The Federales choose to ignore those that empower them, then it might be time to reconsider where all this is headed a LOT more seriously.

That would be quite a legacy for my family. My parents and grandparents were native Texans, and I am a native Californian...
