Oh please, oh please, let Texas secede!
Gov Perry: Texas Can Leave The Union If It Wants
Hmmm,
Texas is home to a purported war criminal whose laissez faire, ‘let my rich buddies make whatever money they can get’ attitude took the world to the precipice of economic ruin.
Texas is the fattest state with medical costs of obesity at $4 billion a year for Texas, alone.
Texas has the highest ‘kill them’ percentage of death row executions.
Texas has the lowest high school graduation rates.
Texas has terribly polluted air...
So Texas’ Governor wants to secede? Relying on buccaneering mythology doesn’t pay the bills. Where’s he going to get the income to cover basic services in his state? To care for his elderly? To provide public education? To pay for health costs of his citizens?
Earlier this week, Perry signed onto a nonbinding resolution claiming the federal government had overstepped its Constitutional authority. “I believe the federal government has become oppressive. I believe it’s become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of its citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Perry declared
Where was Perry, on the ‘extra-legal’ ‘outside the Constitution’ Iraqi War? Where was he on the ‘outside the Constitutional law’ signing papers of GWB? How is his renunciation of the American government different from the teeny tiny thing the Dixie Chicks said that got Texans and right wingers all riled up enough to call for them to lose their American citizenship?
I’m getting tired of the ‘oh yeah? I’m leaving’ mentality of this Governor.
How about staying and being part of the solution? How about forgetting politics and standing up to Tim Geithner, like Paul Krugman does? How about supporting your former President’s immigration amnesty?
Stand up like an American, Governor.
You especially don’t get to secede when you’re harboring the guy who brought all this financial ruin down on us…
Dear God,
You know how much I love chocolate and also red licorice. If you will PLEASE remove Texas from the USA I will forever give up both chocolate and red licorice.
ps… Please make sure Rove, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld & Cheney move there before they do.
Amen.
That’s 2 votes!!
I don’t want Texas to secede, I want their Gov to get off his soapbox and get his hands dirty cleaning up his own backyard before he quits the US. So, don’t you worry, your chocolate and licorice supplies are good for a while! And I heard New Jersey’s threatening to secede too… Innnneresting….
[...] Texas Governor Perry wants you to know that Texas can secede from the United States. [...]
Texas- please leave the union, I am so tired of paying taxes to keep you alive. I promise to send a check to help you survive for the first 2 monts of independence.
