Obama responds to Texas secession with offer of assistance

[bankside]

If Texas leaves, the Pacific Northwest should join with British Columbia and form Cascadia, while California could go back to being the Bear Republic.

No thank you. BC is staying right where it is thank you very much.

May I once again present

The GOP governors are worried about the dogs that Rush and Trump let out in the yard with the whole secession thing...

Let's let All the GOP gov's speak for themselves.....

In a statement released to the Dallas Morning News, spokeswoman Catherine Frazier wrote:

Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it. But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government.

As reported by BayouBuzz, Jindal dismissed the petition, telling NOLA.com, “We are proud to be part of the greatest country in the history of the world. Whatever our political differences, we are American first."

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, also a Republican, commented Tuesday about the secession petition submitted by Tennesseans, saying, "I don’t think that’s a valid option for Tennessee. I don’t think we’ll be seceding."

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley came out on Tuesday and said through a spokesman, “Governor Bentley believes in one nation under God. While there is frustration with the federal government, Governor Bentley believes that states can be great laboratories of change.

the online Huffington Post quotes Nikki Haley, the Republican Governor of South Carolina saying, “Didn’t we try that once before? I love this country. I’m going to fight for this country. I’m going to do everything I can for this country, and this country is going to be great.”

South Carolina did try seceding once before. On Christmas Eve, 1860

You are gonna keep this up, aren't you? And I have already told you we have a Texas Navy.
Located in San Antonio on the San Antonio River during the Fiesta de San Antonio.

You also forgot a Battleship (which is very sadly no longer sea worthy and would probably bankrupt the nation trying to make it so) and about a half dozen ferries.

& just think W could run for president again! Of Texas! Over Perrys dead body, but then W could send "brokeback" Rick hunting with V P Dick Cheney. Wy, OK, ID,MS could leave too, who'd miss 'em?

BP: Better watch out, the Texas Navy might "up anchor" the old battleship Texas (built, 1912) the museum in Houston. Her 16 inchers could reach your place in Boston, from near P-Town or the harbor, if they didn't blow up upon firing!! Could you handle 16 inchers? By the way, I'll take you up on that lap offer, LOL

I used to go climb over that ship every chance I got as a kid. I loved her, paid into the last big fund raising program to overhaul her as she was sinking back in the 80s or 90s I think. I heard that she has bottomed out and is no longer safe to go below decks, what a shame. I'd love to see her rebuilt and made seaworthy again but I fear it would cost less to build a whole new replica of her.

Don't quote me, but, I think it is set in concrete.

I see you're in Colorado, but did you live in Texas as a kid?

She wasn't the last time I saw her which was years ago but they did weld a set of pylons to the sides to help support her. I had heard recently that the deterioration below the water line had reached a point where it was no longer safe.

Yep Texas boy born and raised. Will always have a place in my heart though I admit living by mountains has grown on me.

If Texas secedes,I'm betting Mexico will be more then happy to invade and take back the land that use to belong to them.

I Hear Tx Beau is cute.

What...did you say that Botox is supposed to make you cute? (sort of a pun, no offense of any kind intended)

We had driven by it, never went in. I could be very wrong about the cement.

what would hurt the Federal Government more is if a Blue state were to cede since they give more to the government in taxes than they receive, but seeing how red states are typically poorer, they are dependent on the government they hate. so ppl in texas are not simply ungrateful, they are stupid and ungrateful. i say cut them loose.
