Texas Seceding from the Union is Inevitable

[Noob]

Would they become an independent Republic agian? Or lose its independence to Mexico?

 

[YumYum]

You want your Federal installations back?

No

Then Texans want the tax money back that paid for them.

Sounds good

Or shall we call it even?

sure

I thought about that. Who will come to Texas' rescue if they resume the war of 1836? Texas probably would lose in a war against Mexico.

I hope Texas can manage it, I am a citizen of TX atm, and well that would be sweet if Texas could pull it off. And yea if texas knows what is good for it it would end state control over money.

I dont take any of these people seriously considering Debra Medina didn't receive 250,000 votes.

I do not think Mexico would risk losing more territory

I disagree that Texas would lose in a war against Mexico. Mexico has about 250,000 in their military, they have very little ability to move advanced air fields and last I heard the closest thing they had to a main battle tank is the Lynx. Not very impressive...

I doubt that. Mexicans would have a lot less incentive to make the sacrifices necessary to take over Texas than Texans would to make the sacrifices necessary to prevent that from happening.

Yeah, but they have the Drug Lords and their privatized military who have been kicking our Federal government's butt! I predict the Drug Lords will take back Texas if it secedes.

If Texas became a libertarian free state Mexico would have to kill me to take that from me. I doubt I would be alone.

The federal governments butt has had it's hands tied for quite some time now. I doubt Texas would feel compelled to sit on it's hands should they feel they are being invaded. It would suddenly turn into a shooting war instead of a political war.

 

[CoreyBowen999]

Lol NO WAY would the drug lords take over Texas.

 

[TNforPaul45]

How will Texas remove Federal installations? Are we going to have Ft. Sumter all over again?

NOOOOOOOOOO! Don't mention ft. Sumpter! You have no idea how many pages of debate that will cause.


Shhhhhhhh!

I'm just curious why there is so much talk of Texas seceding, when right now elitist scumbag Rick Perry claims to be in charge. If Texas seceded with Rick Perry or someone of his ilk, it would be no different than what we have now. Unless the plan is to secede with someone like Ron Paul and a switzerland-style system with no one person "in charge", I'm afraid it would be a waste of time and energy.

Texas is much better off individually than the USA. No one expects secession will be the perfect answer, however decentralization and the tendency to abolish huge juggernaughts of organized force is a great step. Moreover people would have a choice to live free/freer if they chose. Additionally this could be a good start to really get the country back to it's Republic roots, which does keep centralized tyranny in check by using competing governments who vie for taxpayers.

It's not perfect but it is much better, if the US was run like Texas is now we would not even have income taxes. I would love to see Texas secede and other states too. We can all agree to defend as one but run our lives differently as we see fit. This is a more sane arrangement than what we have today.

Something has to give, it would be great if Texas would lead the way.

They dont need that 250k, they have probley countless of people in Texas that would gradly fight to get Texas to become part of Mexico, reclaming it from America.

This. But it's possible that some of these people were snookered into voting for Rick Perry based on his phony secession talk.

I would move my family there tomorrow if I knew it would happen but as it stands right now we are moving north of there to South Dakota.

If the state seceded, they would do so in a special convention, and a convention of the people can do pretty much whatever it wants, so they could remove Rick Perry and replace with a horse if they so chose. Then the convention would simply have to be ratified by a super-majority of voters considering that acts in convention are constitutional acts.

It would depend on Texas's stance on prohibition of drugs.

As it stands now, I'm afraid that if Texas did secede, there would good be a good portion of morality voters whom would not wish to end prohibition even if it meant so much less violence and crime.
