Although Waco is the Baptist Capital of the world, these are God-fearing, law-abiding people. They are 100% apolitical.

Texas not going to succeed from the Union, it is all ear candy from the NWO posterboy Perry.
In fact Texas will have a big roll to play in the new Union. The North American Union.

It was Texas archaeologist Vendyl Jones who introduced Jim Long to the Seven Laws. The two met in 1993 when Jones appeared on the Dallas radio show that Long produced. A former Baptist preacher, Jones had grown dismayed with what he considered the anti-Jewish sentiments of the Gospels and sought council from rabbis, studied in Israel and became a Noahide. He is believed to have been the inspiration for the character Indiana Jones in the film Raiders of the Lost Ark and is the founder of the Vendyl Jones Research Institute—a nonprofit based in Grandview, Texas, devoted to Biblical archeology. Considered one of the pioneers of the modern Noahide movement, Jones fondly remembers meeting Schneerson in his Brooklyn home and the rabbi’s encouraging words: “‘Vendyl Jones, you are doing the most important work in the world.’”
Texans are finally waking up thanks to the online 'experience'. They're beginning to see a bunch of weasels running off with their rights. They demand them back. They have every right to. The Federal Govt. is to answer to the States as per Constitution without a Big Brother picking their pockets for .......well do we even know where the bailout money went?

Either you weren't thinking clearly, or you are a transplant. I can forgive the former (I've been known to not think too clearly on occasion), but the latter is a mortal sin.
I'd really like to hear you explain yourself out of this one, because at this point all the evidence indicates that YOU don't know anything about Texas and are in fact, a Northerner in boots. Your bluff has been called. Show your hand.
I'll bet you don't even know who any of the followingare/were:
The Flatlanders
Joe Ely
Ray Wiley Hubbard
Buddy Holly.

well i guess the feds need to build the border fence all around TX to avoid the illegal texans from entering the US.
If we secede, no Texan will want to vist the Bankrupt States of America. The fence will be good to keep the idiot Yankees out, though!
oh and good luck with the drug cartels
We already supply most of their weapons, and Mexico is our largest trading partner. Our tariffs on your prdoducts will further enrich us.
see how fun it's going to be to fight the next big hurricane/tornado hitting TX - without the help of the feds
Either you don't know or have forgotten that TEXAS provided the most aid to La. after the hurricanes and we survived our own Cat 5 just fine. In fact, we can't get thousands of former N.O. residents to leave San Antonio and Houston! When San Andreas, New Madrid and Yosemite go, we'll miss your sad, sorry faces, but we'll have a "North" coast, too!
global warming/climate change is just a myth. yep Katrina & Rita were invented by evil Al gore & those liberals to frighten the rest of the US into accepting the carbon tax/cap & trade!
I've got to give you that one. Enjoy paying MORE than Europe for gasoline, heating oil and electricity with cap and trade and our OPEC-embarassing embargo on oil and gas exports to the BSofA.(We have the largest reserves of the sweetest crude and natural gas in the continental U.S. Think Sarah Palin's gonna feel sorry for New York and what's left of California?
New Orleans is still there, it's just the mainstream media lying to us that it's been destroyed.
When was the last time you were there? Aside from the French Quarter, the place is a dump! (I go each May for the Jazz and Heritage Festival at the track, look me up next month in the disaster zones people still can't live or build in). The police and D.A. still can't get things right. The courts and jail are so behind it's criminal(pun intended)!
TX, we probably won't miss you
And stay out!

I can see all Texans rallying around him no matter if he were to run for President against Obama in the next election .
Trans-Texas Corridor
Perry has been the lead proponent of the Trans-Texas Corridor, a $145+ billion-dollar project that would encompass multi-lane highways, rail and utilities, speeding the movement of people, products and power across the state. Rather than place constrictive tax burdens on businesses and citizens, the project was proposed to be partially financed, partially built and wholly operated by private contractors who, in exchange for a multi-billion dollar investment, will receive all toll proceeds, notably Cintra, a Spanish-owned company, and its minority partner, San Antonio-based Zachry Construction Corporation, one of Texas' largest road construction companies.[30] Some of the more controversial aspects of the project include tolls, private operation of toll collections (at rates set by local municipalities), and extensive use of eminent domain (or the option for landowners to maintain a lucrative equity stake in the project) to acquire property.
Perry has come under fire for opposing the public release of the actual terms of the 50-year deal with Cintra to the public for fear they would chill the possibility of the company's investment; Perry's former liaison to the legislature and expert in public-private partnership, former State Senator Dan Shelly, returned to his consulting/lobbying work with Cintra after securing the TTC deal while on the state payroll. All of Perry's gubernatorial opponents opposed the corridor project. The 2006 state party platforms of both the Democratic and Republicans parties also opposed the current corridor legislation.[31][32] In August, 2008, Perry co-signed a letter indicating his interest in exploring a variety of approaches to meeting the state's transportation infrastructure needs.
In 2001, Perry appointed Ric Williamson of Weatherford, an old friend, former legislative colleague and innovator, to the Texas Transportation Commission. Williamson became the commission chairman in 2004 and worked for TTC until his sudden death of a heart attack on December 30, 2007.

If Obama were from Texas, he would never have been elected dog catcher. It takes Yankees to ignore character flaws, false logic, and underhanded ideology to elect "one of their own."
In Texas, a liar and a scoundrel gets run out of town.
