    Unlike the UK, Texas has way too many minorities. Would fail by a wide margin.

    Yes, the reason it would fail is because of those darned minorities.

    Unlike the EU, precedent in the US is that the Federal government will wreck a state if they try to leave the union.

    Is there something behind this post other than the inertia of your conservative wet dream? Honestly when I see white guys acting this dumb I wonder who's in charge.

    If Texas acts obnoxious enough maybe they'll just be asked to leave.

    Sorry for the semantics argument, but this isn't a conservative idea; it's extremist.

    Didn't Texas want to defect from the US of A when Obama became president?

    Texans just lived through 12 years of Rick Perry and the guy after him isn't that much better.

    Sure, Texas can just vote to trigger Article 50 of the US Constitution.

    I never said I was for a Texit other than the image suggesting such. I just thought the image was the perfect compliment to the sentiment. I do however think it is an option if shrillary wins or trump is a worst case scenario.

    You understand it's legally impossible, right? I need to know if there was more to this thought process than an image search and a chance to call a woman shrill.

    That motion needs to be either called or seconded by a sovereign citizen.

    I own you so bad.

    I guess you're still in a rage after your Saturday night meltdown a few weeks ago. A cringe-worthy 4 consecutive posts within a 14 minute span, starting at 12:16am on a Saturday night...

    I have an acute feeling that you may have been the type of person to own several people if you were born a few hundred years ago.

    You know, i don't think people should dismiss a "Texit" completely out of hand. If Trump were to win the presidency I'd be all for Texas going independent.
