I just saw a story on how a group in Texas wants the state to secede from the US. My first response was HAS EVERYONE LOST THERE MINDS and does anyone realize how dumb that idea is? Seriously, how insane would you have to be to suggest that? Then I saw a poll where 50% of people agreed and wondered what the world is coming to. Personally I think it is the worst possible thing you could to "Save the Texas Economy" as the group called it.
In article one section one of the Texas constitution is says that "Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States..." (note that it does not state "...subject to the President of the United States..." or "...subject to the Congress of the United States..." or "...subject to the collective will of one or more of the other States..."
Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the united States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of Texas (or any other "free and independent State" from the United States. Joining the "Union" was ever and always voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option (regardless of what any self-appointed academic, media, or government "experts"â"including Abraham Lincoln himselfâ"may have ever said).
Well, we might be better off without all those **** conservatives. (No offense to any conservatives, and yes I know that there would be major repercussions if Texas seceded.)
How is that no offense to conservatives? Maybe say redneck conservatives or Texas conservatives or something. Anyway, I think the idea of Texas seceeding it really stupid, about 1% chance of making it on their own, if that. I don't think anybody has taken this idea seriously.
Anyway, I live in Texas, and I haven't heard ANYTHING about this.

Huh. I remember something from history that Texas was fought for to get annexed into U.S. We fought Mexico for its independence. Now that I have given a little cool fact on it, I am a bit surprised. Is Texas not wanting to be apart of America while Barack Obama is president? This is either a win-or-lose risky choice. Barack can either benefit us greatly or severely ruin U.S. Bold choice by Texas but that is a gigantic slap to Obama.
