Comments on: Gov. Rick Perry: Texas might have to secede. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/15/perry-texas-secession/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:09:42 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: tevish http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/15/perry-texas-secession/comment-page-7/#comment-5624822 tevish Fri, 01 May 2009 06:17:55 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/15/perry-texas-secession/#comment-5624822 Hmm, I feel I must admit a mistake. As it seems, in the 1868 case of Texas vs. White the United States Supreme Court ruled that secession was illegal. The only way a state could leave the union was "through revolution, or consent of the States". So, where does this leave Texas? Well, let's look at it in both ways, either the guy is a)completely bananas as most of you suspect, or b)it's a scare tactic to try to get the government to reform. a) The guy's two fries short of a happy meal. Ok, protest. Get him the heck outta office. If we wanna fix this country it would start by getting the idiots out of office. This isn't unique to Republicans. This "idiot phenomenon" isn't unique to Republicans. I know plenty of Democrats that don't deserve to set foot in any sort of office (sorry, Kerry, you switch sides more times per day then the average computer processor switch does in a minute, we don't need that) b)slap his wrists. Scare tactics are cheap. He doesn't like the government, fine. Personally, I don't like Obama's spending policies either. I didn't like Bush's policies. It <em>is</em> the right of the people to petition the government, but what good is one voice against several million? People can champion Obama all they want. While he might be brighter and more stable then Bush he hasn't really been effective in doing anything. The recession isn't getting better, we still have an annoying pirate problem apparently, there is still rampant corruption in all areas of the government and business. Obviously prison isn't phasing these guys one bit. I'd almost advocate bringing back the guillotine and hosting public executions of corrupt business men and law makers with mandatory attendance to drill a zero tolerance policy to this kind of crap. The slogan could be "Do your damn job correctly or your head'll be in this basket". Bush and his cronies wouldn't have lasted a week under that policy and the guys coming in to office would know not to screw around. Hmm, I feel I must admit a mistake.

Remember what happened the last time a state tried to secede, Governor. Indeed. The Confederacy decided it would be fun to attack a union held fort and started a war. Sometimes people tend to forget the little details such as who started what war. And anyways if Texas did leave the union, as is their right, and the US attacked then what do you suppose would happen? This would be the second time in recent years that the US blatantly attacked another country for no good reason. How long would it be before the UN declares the United States a global threat? That crap could start another world war, and this time the oppressors would be us, not the Germans. jerseyboyblue Says:

Unfortunately, there is also a sizeable faction who like to speak first and think later. Or even worse, not think at all. These people are also very vocal. By my best estimates, I think the Texas I.Q.(Idiot Quotient) is about 20-25% of the overall population. That leaves a lot of sensible, rational people. Rick Perry knows we can't secede, he's just grasping at straws. He recieved 39% of the popular vote last time. He's done. I am an American first, and I'm embarassed by this idiot.
