After anyone resisting was cleaned from the treads of MRAPS, Bradley's, and Abrams armored units...they'd stay national parks.

-You would need a passport to go snow skiing. (Unless we get the original Texas territory)
-The National Football League would become the International Football League.
-We could finally build a wall along the Red River to keep the Okies out.
-National parks would still be national parks, just Texas National Parks.
-In fact, all our state parks would become national parks.
-We need a special treaty with Louisiana, cause I just love a crazy coona$$ to hang with! |

If i'm not mistaken from what i learned in Texas history the State of Texas can't secede but could divide into separate states. Kinda crazy if you ask me. |

The party in power in DC would love to see Texas just go away. The Republicans would loose their majority in the Senate. The treasury would save many billions that now go to Texas, and immigration would not be much of a problem anymore. It won't happen because they like our money too much. _________________ E Pluribus Unum |

| If you have never been to the Institute of Texas Cultures in SA you should give it a try. It is owned by UT and UT Professors give tours. I learned that Texas was never annexed as a state but signed a treaty to join the Union. This meant a couple of things: The Union would not send soldiers for the Indian wars as they did for all the other states. Texans had to fight their own battles which is why our culture is so strong.Texas also reserved the right in the treaty to secede and we are the only state with that right. This is why you hear the topic come up by the likes of Gov. Perry when he was mad at the FED for not helping to rebuild after Hurrucane Ike. I'm not a fan because I love my Country and I'm sure most mention it in jest but be careful what you wish for. Friend was a cadet at Westpoint and a General asked the cadets in a speech "every generation has a great war, what do you believe the great war of your generation will be"? Most answered middle east etc. His response was that was past generation war. Next generation "Civil". I certainly hope not but it makes you think. |

If Obama can do what ever he does with the assists of embedded idiotic dems, we can certainly get aggressive and do what we need to do by whatever means to gain back our freedoms. _________________
