What will Texas do if Obama gets elected again?
[This is not to start up an argument with anyone. This is what most Texans believe will happen, and will gladly do it]
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 if Barack Obama wins the election. We'll miss you too.
Here is what can happen:
1: Barack Hussein Obama is President of the United States, and Texas secedes from the Union in summer of 2013.
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 Microconductor, 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, Texas State, 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 5 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.
Signed, The People of Texas
P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!

Johnson is absolutely worthless. |

| The rules about politics don't affect us. If you wanted to report every thread you could find in here that is politically or religiously related, you would fail to meet your goal. |

With all due respect - LOL.
First of all, the constitution actually allows ALL states to secede from the union. The Civil War was the government trying to keep it together.
Second, NASA is not completely based in Houston. There's some stuff in Ohio, I believe, and Kennedy Space Center, hello :P
Third, Texas would also lose a LOT by leaving the union. The protection of the United States military, which is the best in the world. They would lose a ton of chain businesses, stores and warehouses and whatnot. Because those places would be out of their mind to support a small state-turned-country versus an established world superpower.
So yeah. Also, what about Romney? xD I normally lean Republican, but really, Obama and Romney seem to be the same in most ways. And in that case, I want the incumbent president who already knows what he's doing and is up-to-date on national secrets and stuff.

| I'd prefer to keep Obama in office to finish off another few years than experiment with a new leader that could be potentially worse. |

| Your just a racist. Obama is a perfectly good president who hasn't done anything wrong. Blame our stupid senate for not passing any of his bills. |

Please say you're joking.
Third, Texas would also lose a LOT by leaving the union. The protection of the United States military, which is the best in the world.
____
This is entirely irrelevant, since the US military is the best in the world IF it were to combat another Nation State. Since the State changed after the end of the Long War, the US military is now poorly equipped to handle the challenges of asymmetric warfare.
Let me know how that tank brigade works against that clandestine nuclear device concealed in the bed of a pickup truck. |
