COUNTRY of TEXAS

[larrymeyer]

I may be moving to the

COUNTRY of TEXAS

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede
from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of
1848.)

We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to take action since
Barack Obama won the election. We'll miss you too.

Here is what can happen:

1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States , and
Texas immediately secedes from the Union .

2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of
Texas . You might not think that he talks too pretty, but we haven't
had another terrorist attack, and the economy was fine until the
effects of the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans
came to roost.

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

1. NASA is just south of Houston , Texas . We will control the space
industry.

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States .

3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess
with Texas ," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. What will the other states do? Gee, we don't know. Why not ask Obama?

5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about
those Northern States. John Kerry and Al Gore will have to figure
out a way to keep them warm....

6. Computer Industry - we lead the nation in producing computer
chips and communications equipment -small companies like Texas
Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor,
Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor,
Dallas Semiconductor, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and
on.

7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research,
the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well
as other large health centers. The Houston Medical Center alone
employees over 65,000 people.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us getting smarter: University of
Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Rice, SMU, University
of Dallas , University of Houston , Baylor, UNT ( University of North
Texas ), Texas Women's University, etc.. Ivy grows better in the South
anyway.

9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force, and it isn't
restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in Texas , it's a Right to Work
State and, therefore, it's every man and women for themselves. We
just go out and get the job done. And if we don't like the way one
company operates, we get a job somewhere else.

10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance
industries, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard,
and several military bases. We don't have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over the Texas Rangers.

12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and
several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget
seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook
them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

13. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States , and twenty-
three of the 100 largest cities in the United States , are located in Texas . And Texas also has more land than California , New York , New Jersey , Connecticut , Delaware , Hawaii , Massachusetts , Maryland , Rhode
Island and Vermont combined.

14. Trade: Three of the ten largest ports in the United States are
located in Texas .

15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to. You
see, nothing rusts in Texas , so our vehicles stay beautiful and run
well for decades.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:

Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only
President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV.
The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off
satellite communications.

You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr.
Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long
as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global
Warming.

This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!


Signed, The People of Texas

SLEEP WELL TONIGHT! THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!

One Nation Under God

And with all the "BULL****" that is coming out of Texas , the methance alone should supply the state for DECADES.....lol

Sorry, but you lost me at #2. George Bush is certainly no friend to those seeking liberty.

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Texas is a happening place. All those southern, non-unionized, non-liberal places are. The northeast is becoming a liberal cesspool.

[bigbear]

Can anyone say, "Road Trip?"

[nepawolf]

I only have one problem with Texas: you can't open carry.

Edit: Other than that I'm up for it, so long as they keep the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

I spent a few days visiting my brother just before Christmas. Just south of the Ft Worth area. Had a good time and travelled around a bit while I was there.

Lot of construction activity, industry appears to be doing good, local paper full of jobs for skilled labor. Folks were friendly and the food was good. No indications of much of a recession in the areas I was in. General mood was upbeat, then again most southerners are from my experience.

Liberals tend to doom and gloom and see the glass as half empty, it's like a disease.

Wouldn't want to live there though, I like PA.

16. More ego and unwarranted arrogance than Tom Cruise, Bono, and Barbara Streisand combined!

17. We execute more retards before 6:00 a.m. than most people do all day!

18. We're the only part of the U.S. that formed specifically for the purpose to own slaves and had slavery codified in our original state constitution!

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

Things you're missing: 1. Seasons 2. A truly top-tier college football team (despite your bluster to the contrary) 3. A clue

But, hey, you got T.O., congrats! His dumb, arrogant ass should fit in just fine there.

19. Mexico reasserts its claim over Texas.
