The reality is that it will never happen, unfortunately.Ah, T2Nutlickers (and the rest of you Tea Partay Parrotriots), once again your flawed, no, LACK, of logic (and a grip on reality) fails you...
Texas is probably the only state that could stand alone without the assistance of the other states, I mean the largess of the federal government.
The problem would be keeping the rest of them out and from coming here and fucking shit up like they have done in the rest of the nation. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

To call someone advocating secession traitors is to call our founding fathers traitors to the King. It was the King who abdicated his responsibility to us; it is the Federal Government that is doing so now. Again, I don't advocate secession, but I understand the point of view of those who do.
But we do have our share of goof balls, and morons that dropped out of school before they took any History.
Texas did have an agreement when they first entered the Union that under certain circumstances they could become their own Republic again.
The only problem is, all of the originol treaties were made null and void when Texas left the Union during the War Between The States, and re-entered the Union as a defeated foe.
Of course, any State can vote to leave the Union if they so choose. The United States of America also has the right to invade them, kill every disloyal citizen that raises arms against the Union, and bring that State back into the fold.
The War Between The States left no doubt about that fact.

I would have no issue fighting against the rest of them to gain our freedom if it came to that.
The reality is that at some point, should we continue down the path we are on, the federal government will fail and the union could be dissolved.
It will begin with individual states failing and looking to the federal government to bail them out over the objections of the solvent states. The federal government will not be far behind.
It is like I have said many times; it is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. Originally Posted by The2Dogs
