Most of us here are loyal Americans not anti-American traitors.
A place for Texans
I'm a loyal American too. Read my other comment in this thread explaining why "Ironically, secession is about the most American thing we could do at this point."
You're not a loyal American went you advocate treason against our country. When you advocate treason that makes you an anti-American traitor.
I certainly do not advocate treason. That's a hell of an accusation.
Putting secession on the ballot is part of the Republican Party of Texas's official platform. It's a popular idea whose time has come, due in large part to our federal government's ignoring the Tenth Amendment.
You ARE advocating treason. Why do you hate America?
Putting secession on the ballot is part of the Republican Party of Texas's official platform.
Then why is it not on the ballot? Radical Republicans have controlled the corrupt state government for the last 30+ years. Also you are saying that the state Republican Party officially endorses anti-American treason? Even if a majority of Texans instead of a tiny minority of neofascists supported secession, it is unconstitutional according to settled law. It would be like putting the reinstitution of slavery on the ballot. That would never be allowed. Too bad for you that my country has the most powerful army in the world and us loyal Americans would swat you America hating traitors like a bug.
You seem to be out of the loop on the whole Texit movement. If you really are Texan, I find that surprising. It's been building momentum for years, and we're now collecting the legally required signatures with the expectation it'll be on the upcoming ballot later this year.
I love Amerca, and there's nothing treasonous about Texit, as I've explained elsewhere in this thread. I don't care to repeat myself, but I'm happy to clarify in case anything I wrote wasn't communicated well.
When you say "Radical Republicans" I have to wonder if you're actually Texan. Our government does a fine job of representing our values, and if you disagree — which you're certainly free to do, and I respect that — then you really ought to move out of Texas ASAP. When you use the word "neofascists" to describe your neighbors, you don't sound like much of a Texan. I bet you'd be happy on the West Coast.
When you say "settled law", again, that only applies to the jurisdiction of these United States. The building's no-smoking policy doesn't apply to you once you step out of the building.
As for your threatening last sentence, that's a sick authoritarian pipe dream which has been dispelled at length in publications describing Texit elsewhere. You can seek them out if you wish, and if you don't I don't really care. Suffice it to say, the threat is absurd.
Congrats on being a retard
I don't condone the R word, but this person is quite obviously worldview challenged.
Ironically, secession is about the most American thing we could do at this point. I enjoyed the following quote from this page on redstatesecession.org:
To quote James Madison in Federalist 39, each State is “a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound [in the Union] by its own voluntary act.” To deny this principle is to deny the most foundational idea of American law—that governments derive “their just powers from the Consent of the Governed.” If the States cannot peacefully secede, then they are in a Union held together by coercion, not by consent. Clearly, this was not the Founders’ intention. Furthermore, because there is no prohibition of secession in the U.S. Constitution, it is a right that the States reserve in accordance with the Tenth Amendment.
I enjoyed learning about this court case where the state of Texas successfully argued in 1869 that states do not have the right to secede from America. This is now settled law.
Settled law in what jurisdiction? United States law applies only to these United States.
Exactly. Which Texas is a part of. We are loyal Americans here, not anti-American traitors. Texas is the very state that went out of its way to establish that states cannot secede. So good job Texans.
