The Country Of Texas

[road-runner]

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,

the Texas 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 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.

 

You wanted Obama you got Obama;we have everything else!!!!

 

Signed, The People of Texas

 

P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you

something to think about!

 

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

Secede? And risk another "War of Northern Aggression"??

 

I will be very surprised if there is not one or more states that attempt to secede from the Union within the next 50 years. It may be the New England states, "The South", or simply Texas. But I do believe it is bound to happen.

 

Right now I do think that the people of Texas are the only ones with the balls to attempt it. Though if they do, I'm sure more will follow.

I hope you didn't write that... It's ridiculous

[malmsteenisgod]

I got this in an email a few weeks ago and it's really ridiculous. To say that Texas has everything it needs and the rest of the country will fall apart without us is a bit of an overstatement.

No I got it off another website, thought someone might get a laugh out of it...

[XiXVenomXiX]

haha thats awesome. If it were to happen though GREAT! we would finally get rid of George W and the title "fattest country".

[Silverfox]

So let me get this in order.

 

Because Bush has been in power, and since he was in power there are no terrorist attacks in the USA, then George Bush = Peace?

 

That's flawed logic right there! You may as well say "well, the world hasn't ended while GWB was in power, so better keep him in for as long as possible!"

Yes, but if Rhode Island were to leave, we'd be screwed!

[Andrewr05]

Pretty funny...

[XiXVenomXiX]

All I can say is thank god for the queen, if we were to secede from Great Britain we would be royally screwed.

Sigged

I wonder if this thread will turn into a 20page thread?

[d3bruts1d]

Yay... my first sigged post in at least 2 years!

 

 

Where is Lo? He can cause any politically oriented thread to span 20 pages.
