Texas

So...the lone star state wants to leave the union. Wow. If that isn't the political equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum I don't know what it. Here is my thinking on it all:

First of all, Texas walks around with a blindfold on pretending it's its own country anyway. I mean, personally, I think if the blue states could put up with 8 years of the Bush Administration, then Texas can fucking suck it up and deal with it. They claim Obama and his administration aren't "listening to the American people." The American people elected him you crackers! Last time I checked, Obama not only wont the electoral vote, but overwhelmingly won the popular vote! He also has the highest foreign approval rating in recent years. So Texas, if you leave, you can join the 2 other countries who dislike him.

All I can say is let them stomp their feet and stick out their lower lip. They can fuss and cry and storm around all they want. If they want to leave, let them leave! But they can have fun trying to figure out how to protect their boarder from illegals, which is a government funded project. Take away their access to US banks and their bail out funding, force them to create their own currency, and build a functioning economy from almost scratch. It's like sending a pouty 3 year old out into the real world with a pat on the rear and saying "Go to it, Pumpkin!"

Texas, I would like to see you try. In fact, I dare you. No red state is going to follow you. They are republican, not stupid. And by the time you fail and want to come back, we will have already filled your spot by incorporating Puerto Rico.

Good Luck!
