Petition to secede from the Union

[xj0hnx]

That's not what I'm doing. I'm making fun of people who want to secede from the union because Obama won.

It's exactly what you are doing.

Texas does not have $1.3 trillion.

Maybe they can trade their land for it. We'll take all the oil and natural gas, they can keep their people.

Louisiana would be friggen GREAT without the Feds.... All that offshore revenue that the Feds currently steal would ALL be theirs, that alone should double the budget at least and if it isn't enough they will just add some tariffs to all the go-go juice and petrochemicals the rest of the nation relies on them for. They would also control the business end of the Mississippi river. Ever hear the old saying that you don't put all your eggs in one basket? As far as energy is concerned that is basically what the US has done between Texas and Louisiana. Hell, the HUB of the entire nations pipeline system is located in those two states, so if by some magical and mystical the US could shit a new supply of go go juice I seriously doubt they could effectively transport it throughout the nation.

Refinery capacity is ultimately replaceable, any advantage would be quite temporary since the US has ample access to crude. If we wanted to be real dicks the US could blow up the Old River Control Structure and let things proceed naturally.

The part I like best is how they are the "real Americans" and the "real Patriots"
They love America so much they want to leave it

Don't lie, your favorite part is when people that oppose you politically die.

I noticed that there are a lot of states on Whitehouse.gov asking for secession. I even saw my home state of Nebraska on there with around 5,500 signatures.

I am pretty sure Texas would be able to come to some kind of agreement with Mexico as far as trade, and travel. And if Mexico did get froggy, Ft. Hood is only a few hours from the border. Not too mention we probably have more guns per capita than anywhere else in the nation.

Texas is probably "average" in terms of "guns per capita" in the US.

There are various sources, none of which appear to be really truly 100% accurate, as "guns per capita" simply doesn't seem to be tracked.

Based on a poll of over 200K people in the country, about 35% of households in TX had 1 or more guns.

In the below states, over 50% of households had 1 ore more guns in the home.
Alaska
Alabama
Arkansas
Idaho
Mississippi
Montana
North Dakota
South Dakota
West Virginia
Wyoming

5500 people isn't a state, it is a high school.

LOL, not even close, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

[randomrogue]

Texas is below average in just about everything so lets just agree on that and call it a day.

Yea, unfortunately because we have so much to offer there are a LOT of shitbag entitlement minded mooches here

Giggling at 100,000 dead people huh? Why not pick another state that doesn't agree with your politics and wipe them all out too, might get an actual laugh then.

Oddly enough you can blame a large amount of Texans for not agreeing with you.

Last I checked a bit over 40% voted for Obama in Texas and already some of the cities are asking to secede from Texas to be part of the USA.

It always happens when one side doesn't win and then they act like children.

Both sides have done this before and it's always funny laughing at the crazies.

My prediction. All the red states secede and form a new country. I guess the Confederate States of America is a bit too obvious so they call it Allied Straight States of Holy Owned Legitimate Empire aka ASSHOLE.

The new president of ASSHOLE is Dick Cheney(R) where there is no other party but Republican. As the ASSHOLE nation cuts taxes to record lows and watches the debt levels rise to record highs, when asked about the record debt levels President Cheney replies "deficits don't matter". Yes in the ASSHOLE nation debt will never be discussed again because you know... when republicans are in control debt doesn't matter.

return the southwest to mexico and send the eco-KOOKS back to europe where most of em came from. The US experiment is over. Time to have a going out of business sale.

From tea party to seceder?
Sounds like the Bachmann/Palin wackos are still in full swing.
I like the move to Canada idea better, for them.
I want to see their face when they move in and realize guns are not the end all in Canada, as well as having national healthcare and same sex marriage.
I want to see that expression on their mugs come that glorious day.

Talk about sore losers....
Sure gives credence to supporting better funded education.
Especially in those red states down south.

And they should remember... If they sucede, we have all the nukes on our side.
Na na na nana na...

I have a coworker who told me today that NY wants to leave the union. "Uh, no, NY doesn't. The people signing the petition don't represent NY. The people signing that petition represent 'the idiots of NY'. It's not very credible."

The reply: "yes it is, it was on the news."
*sigh*

 

[Acanthus]

The south would be a barren wasteland without the support from the north.

Lincolns Folly was thinking we were better off with those hillbillies.

Let them secede.
