Don't mess with (The Republic of) Texas

[bobselectric]

As some of you are amazed with how this could have happened. Some of us in Tx. are taking a different approach to this situation.
In case things get a little tough after January 20th...
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 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 President of the Republic of Tx. You might not think 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 Tx. have to do to survive as a Republic?
1. NASA is just south of Houston, Tx. We will control the space industry.
2. We refine over 85% of the gas in the United States.
3. Defense Industry--We have over 65% of it. The term, "Don't mess with Tx.", will take on a whole new meaning.
4. Oil--we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Tx. 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 Tx. Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Intel, Motorola, AMD, Dallas Semiconductor, Nortel, Alcatel, etc...
7. Medical Care-We have 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 Tx., Tx. AM, Tx. Tech, Tx. Christian, Rice, SMU, University of Dallas, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Tx. 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 Tx., it's a right to work State and, therefore, it's every man and woman for themselves. We just go out there 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 Tx. National Guard, the Tx. Air 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 Tx. Rangers.
12.We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let us not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good.
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 Tx. And Tx. 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 Tx.
15.We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to, You see, nothing rusts in Tx., so our vehicles stay beautiful and run well for decades.
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 9mpg 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.
Signed, The People Of Texas
P.S. This is not a threatening post--just a note to give the Obama Supporters something to think about!!!!
Sleep well tonight, the eyes of Tx. are upon you!!
One Nation Under God....

Has nothing to do with color... Everything to do with loving My Country and Respecting the Rights of People who disagree with me.

Its cool Bob, it was just a joke. I think your post was cute.

Charles, my first reaction to your reply was to think that you were calling me a "Cracker". Upon contemplating it for a few minutes I realized that, if anything, you were calling the author a "Cracker", which, knowing your style of writing, is out of character for you.

In light of the recent news from Texas, it appears that a lot of Texans are not happy with the direction of the leadership of the country.

Why is it that anyone can post or say things about GWB, when the man has been virtually invisible for the past three + months, and any criticisms about BHO, the current President, are flamed on? This is a valid question.

We can rag on Bush because his presidency is in the books. I think we should give the guy a term or two before making a determination on his effectiveness as a president. Crazy, right?

The markets are turning around, banks are posting profits again... I don't get it. Whats not to like so far? Taxation? We're tens of trillions in the hole. Someone has to pay for it. I just don't get it.

I don't find it chilling. He paid respect to a foreign leader. At least he doesn't have monetary family ties to them. Is it better if you only bow in private?
