Texas governor says secession possible, Racism by any other name is still Racism

[johnmburt1960]

If Perry would be willing to allow every loyal American to leave the Republic of Texas and take their assets with them, and if Perry were willing to accept every American who wants to leave the U.S. and go R.O.T., I would be willing for the U.S. to pay the cost of the wall separating the 50 states (we'll replace Texas with Puerto Rico). Can't be more fair than that.

Just don't EVER come back, not even on your knees.

[justfactsallowed]

GOOGLE: 'perry truth politifact secession'

[ugha323a]

@justfactsallowed

Yeah, so? I want the FASCIST Govt OUT of my state

[mkortbek]

And this is the guy who is now crying because the federal government is "helping" out the "greatest" state of Texas. FAIL!!!!

[av8or757]

@mkortbek Amen. Moved here from Massachusetts and every single cocksucker here didn't want jackshit from Obama or washington. Now they're bitching about fire funds. We're laying off teachers,200 firefighters in Houston and cops. Two Houston cops were shot today in the middle of DOWNTOWN at the greyhound station in broad daylight.

Perry and alot of conservatives here are BIG TALKERS and thats it. FRAUDS !!!!!!

The amazing thing is Perry was once a DEM but switched. TRUTH !

[hiruleshouse]

so I guess those northern states that used states rights to STOP federal enforcement of the fugitive slave act were racist? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  States rights can be used for good or evil-just like federal power can be used for good or evil. dumb dumb dumb

[razoredge45]

I'm leaving California you can have this once great state..let the beaners run this place/ little Mexico/Liberals realisticly 17% unemployment rate highest forclosure rate/ Highest taxs..we are getting the beer education on a champain budget..CALPERS self serving corrupted State going down the tubes fast and days away from BK..and to cork it all of they elected Jerry Brown the straw thats going to break the camals back give it a year and the new buisness as usal!

[donjuandonjuan]

We don't control the federal goverment it is the other way around.

[booley]

"States Rights" has been often used by racists, especially to protect or rationalize things like Jim Crow.

But this isn't necessarily racist. Just really stupid (which we have come to expect from governor good hair)

States right is just a con catch all for "whatever we want to do when we don't control the federal gov"

When it's some thing they don't like or care about (Sanctuary cities, drug legalization, The Florida Court election ruling in 2000), states rights suddenly don't mean so much.

[VIDOTTONATOR]

he looks like G.W.BUSH!!!

The American ideals would still be preserved in each state's own U.S.-type Constitution.

[Texashorn17]

And this is racist how?

[jjrochford53]

How the hell is this racism? This is states rights. The rights all states have and were given by the constitution. Anyone who calls this racism is not just ignorant, they are stupid. Plain dumb. These are ANTI-FEDERALIST principles.

[redarrowhead]

texas is a true american state

[MaddOutProductions]

This tea party so called "movement" has been built on nothing but lies. Taxes have gone down for the middle class, the economy has been saved. Get a grip and get your facts right.

[rllang01]

Accusations of racism are designed to shut you up and shut you down. These accusations fly from the mouths of people that voted for obama "because he is black".. If that is not racist then I dont know what is... Anyone that claimed they voted for mccain because he was white would be attacked as a racist...

[bchiles0123]

How do you get anything racist out of this speach. Gov. Perry was talking about the rights of all Americans. Not just Texans, and not just white people. It is people likeeggrolls33 and others making these idiotic coments that dont know how to read the constitution and their political puppets that have goten us to this point in the first place.

[eggrolls303]

how do you fined this racist

[firebird2012]

fuck you if you dont have the guts to die for your freedom , rights and to present them to your childern stop useing racisum to hide being a coward you pussy traitor

[chetansingh2006]

Mexico will take Texas lol do what u want

[cm2dude]

No they won't.

Mexico can't even control its own population.

[tomlambsays]

haha really? first they'd have to get past all those Texans with big guns, which is pretty much all of them, good luck with that idea lol

[MrBLAKK88]

KILL THIS SWINE

[sofa0king]

I hate texans they are so racist and there dumbasses

[cm2dude]

No.

[lilerichotwheels24]

I think in my opinion Texas people shouldn't be dealt with at all. Especially if it's other states moving in, and taking over our homes or some shit.

[mordrid84]

why cant ohio's governor be a leader like this guy?? IF texas suceeds Im moving there.

[statesrights01]

Men like the Gov. of Texas and Ron Paul is what this country needs!!! Other States needs too follow this example!! *4. The Federal Government was delegated certain and specific powers and duties under The Constitution (Articles I-IV). All other powers, rights and duties are reserved to the States or the People (10th Amendment). * Anyone who calls this racism needs too read real American History and not the crap they put in the school books. Ohio needs this too!! GO TEXAS!!

[P5Y0P]

the fact that Perry has not called for secession makes all of this moot. more propaganda from the left and right leaning media outlets. republicans and democrats have proven time and again that they only care about the power their parties hold in government and the furthering of their party's agenda. Calling what is going on a byproduct of racism represents peoples refusal to actually understand what is going on.

[JRserver]

Can you imagine Hillary Clinton saying words like these after George W. Bush's "re"-election? What do you think would've happened to her, or any Democrat, who used this talk during the Bush years?

[jamestay1984]

The right wing party is about to go under the water, so the are taking there last breath.

[MockStoneLLC]

I wish i was there, i had to go the the west palm one.. quite boring compared to this one, and it poured...

[01090909090909090909]

fuc em

[ironwork92000]

Maybe Texas needs to remove themselves from the United States. When that happens, we can remove our military bases from them, take the fuel that the USA WILL take, and remove all Texas sports from NCAA, NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. And if they were smart, the minorities would be wise to leave Texas while they had the chance. Once all was said and done, Texas could make it with their racist, ass-backwards idiots. Onh, and don't 'God bless the US' bullshit if you think separation is the answer, governor!

[anthonyw713]

Ironwork92000 You can hide behind the thought of rasism if it makes you feel better but i would sugjest reading the real id act and the 647 page stimulus bill. Oh wait i said read well never mind on that instead take in to consideration 38 states have filled suit on there 10th amendment sovereginty. 38 states are also ready to jump ship. Ya know all the govoners are not white. Time to wake up and read the bills and stop blaming whitie for all ur problems crackas have problems as well

[lunarader]

is the texan secession racist, an all white movement kinda thing? or is it an actual political movement, that has thought it thru?

[Rich1598]

He talks like an angry little man, I do agree that American's where fed up, that why we elected Obama!

[angryahole]

the race card is all liberals have. ignore them.

[ldksparda]

Let him do what he wants to do, Good luck getting any more federal aid if your crappy-ass state gets hit by more tornadoes and hurricanes you George Bush wannabe. Republicans = Downfall to reality and rich, ignorant, racist retards.

States Rights and Racism

2009 April 17

by Daniel Didech

The next four post are excerpts from an article written by the author listed above.

[uzitone]

Since speaking to these points directly would have exposed him as cruel, repressive, and un-American, he veils his aspirations in the cloak of states right.

The most prominent advocate of states rights in the 20th century was George Wallace. As an undeniable racist, Wallace asserted that the state of Alabama had the right under the 10th amendment to maintain Jim Crow segregation. In 1970, he made it clear that his intentions were to keep black people down and prevent

[uzitone]

them from attaining political power:

Theres no reason to let any one group call all the shots in this state. And you know the militant black bloc vote in this state, if they take over, its going to control politics for the next 50 years in Alabama, and I know you are not going to let that happen.

In 1968, while running for President as a 3rd party candidate, he said this that is eerily similar to some of the rhetoric heard at the recent tea party protests:

[uzitone]

States rights is often used as a crutch when the actual intentions of the speaker are too offensive or unpopular to be stated plainly. More specifically, it is used to shroud racism. One of the most vocal advocates of states rights in the history of our country was Jefferson Davis. On February 2nd, 1860, on the floor of the Senate, he said:

Please read post below-He was referring to slavery (Property).

[uzitone]

Resolved, That the union of these States rests on the equality of rights and privileges among its members, and that it is especially the duty of the Senate, which represents the States in their sovereign capacity, to resist all attempts to discriminate either in relation to person or property, so as, in the Territories — which are the common possession of the United States — to give advantages to the citizens of one State which are not equally secured to those of every other State.

[grooveclubhouse]

ok.... saw the vid and have no idea what is racist in there. maybe you could enlighten me as to where he said that?

[SeraphimTheApologist]

uzitone -I won't argue on the governor being stupid. I guess I just don't see how what he was calling for is racist, but he is clearly being stupid. I'll give you that.

[SeraphimTheApologist]

uzitone-Many Conservatives, self included, and those alon the lines of William F. Buckley and Ron Paul have criticized the Bush administration. Even the much hated Sean Hannity and Bill OReily have not spared Bush criticism. To be critical of policies does not equate to racism, and calling matters like this racist when its clearly not is manipulative and detracts from issues where there really is racism going on.

[SeraphimTheApologist]

You can't call everyone you disagree with racist no matter how stupid their ideas are, and I do agree that threatening secession is not a good idea, but its on the principal that I feel that this idea is extreme, and it is extreme, but it has nothing to do with Obama's race, and it has nothing to do with racism, that's pure hyperbole and you know it. What it has to do with is a rejection of his policies, and fear this country is moving toward socialism.

[SeraphimTheApologist]

We reject the idea of redistribution of wealth, we reject the idea of government regulation of our business and lives. We reject the nanny state. We reject excessive spending, whether it is Bush or Obama. These ideas are fascist, it is exactly what Hitler did, (Not comparing anyone individual just pointing out the common philosophies.) Don't believe me check out the Misus Institute, the break down fascism very well, in fact check out the videos on it on my channel.

[SeraphimTheApologist]

I will conclude by saying this. Conservatives are a lot quicker to criticize our own when they have errored than people give us credit for. Try actually watching Fox news, watch Oreily and Hannity and Beck and you will find we have criticized Bush plenty. Jeanine Geraffalo (Sp?) is simply full of hot air, and crying wolf like this helps no one. Let's instead examine the policy or idea itself and not assume it is motivated by racism. Besides, at least we agree secession is a bad idea.

[munkilover95]

Seriously? They treated him as an infallable king until roughly the last year of his administration. And they never criticized him for anything of substance.

[uzitone]

SeraphimTheApologist, I as a former republican and one who considers himself one with conservative views although conservatism seems to be what one claims to be when they say stupid and even racist things and by the way I don't feel you fall into that category as you express yourself very well. My point is either the Governors timing is off, he is just stupid or racist. My opinion is it is the latter. Also Ron Paul is the true meaning of conservatism and thats not a bad thing.

[wtfoof]

Governor Perry, the founding fathers never wanted Texas to become a state, remember Aaron Burr? Texas left Mexico because Mexico made slavery illegal!!

Interesting how Perry wants to leave the United States but then say god bless America. Doesn't he fucking get it? If Texas leaves teh Union they WON"T be Americans any longer!!!!

[grooveclubhouse]

I think you didn't get the message he was saying.

[TANNER77719]

@wtfoof hes saying opposes the government not the people of the united states

hes saying god bless the american people

and saying Texas left mexico over slavery is like saying the civil war was fought because of slavery

there were many reasons why Texas seceeded putting it on one reason is ignorant

and also Texas seceeded around 1836 i dont know how the hell the founding fathers would even know about Texas let alone appose its sessesion

[Re3volution]

This is the worst fear of the globalists, the new world order, the international bankers, and the criminal elite, WE must support the effort of succession no matter what the lying media says!!!!!

Texas Succession NOW!!!!!!!

[SeraphimTheApologist]

How is demanding the Fed stay smaller than the states racism? Here we go again using the R word to try and silence oposition. "If you don't shut up I'll call you a racist!" Let me make it clear liberals, that does not work in middle America, we know the boy is crying wolf. No one believes you anymore. Racisim is dead in most of America and exists only on the left as a weapon against dissent.

[uzitone]

SeraphimTheApologist

I would feel different if Mr. Perry had been saying this a year ago when the former President was ruining this country/period.

[sbjl08lord]

go perry...i have been wanting my state to seccede  so i could join the texas miltary...that would be badass

[allout1034]

cant really blame him for wanting to leave..Bush has fucked this country up so bad that I wish Ohio had the balls to leave too.....

[TecsanPatriot]

If you haven't noticed yet...

Obama is starting to act just like bush acted. Why? Because the President is the Scapegoat for Congress Screw ups.

The Congress is the one who "fucked this country up so bad", pretty much the entire federal Government screwed We the People over.

ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE? RACISM? wtf? Fuck the Fed. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FED.

[dwaynepeterzen]

Does the station's call letters in the top right KXAN code for Klu Klux Klan?

[schrd344]

This ridiculous idea that "states rights" equals "racism" is going to be the undoing of the left-wing consolidationist mindset. As it becomes more obvious that such statements invariably are either outright lies or founded in ignorance, they will lose the power that they have held in recent times. I don't like Rick Perry, but he's right in this case. If we don't like it we should be able to get out.

[horacewayne]

the wealthy right are using this economic crisis to again get the white blue collar/ blue collar vote to go against their own interests-when Bush came into office there was a huge surplus, and most of the bailouts were put into effect by the republican party-that said, who knows? democracy works better with smaller numbers-and Texas has enough resources and wealth to become it's own country

[skenod]

Texas should secede and become part of Mexico

[TecsanPatriot]

what... the... fuck...

Mexico is considered a Third world country.

Are you mentally challenged sir?

[Luigi84289]

I"m not white and I support secession. The title of this video is completely wrong. Nations all over the world have seceded from other nations like we did in 1776. It's sad that people actually think all the horrors of the 19 and early 20th century will come back when current generations have been raised to believe that everybody is equal regardless of color and interracial marriages are on the rise. I resent being called a racist fro wanting a new government.

[Thebutler2125]

Chuck Norris for President of Texas baby.

[stopglobalswarming]

Libtards and wiggers will scream "racism", but Perry hasn't stood up to condemn the thousands of mexican militants giving birth to mexican anchor babies in US (TX) hospitals on American taxpayer's money.

[stopglobalswarming]

I don't trust Rick Perry, but this is a good speech. Maybe he has snapped out of his neocon stupor. We'll have to wait and see.

Is it RACISM for JEWS to have a Nation of their own?

Is it RACISM for CHINESE to have a Nation of their own?

How about the Mexicans, or the Japanese, or the black Africans in Zimbabwe or Liberia?

[The1TrueJustice]

you will begin to see more of these wolves begin to dress up in sheep's clothing. it's not democrat or republican. it's not buying into any of the b.s. especially anything that is promoted by the mainstream media. this guy allowed federal mandates on young girls to be forced to take Gardasil. Later they stopped the mandates because so many healthy young women were getting sick. He still got his money from the company that created the vaccine. now positioning himself on a movement for votes

[afremont]

The irony is uncanny...GW, a former Texas governor, has effectively destroyed this country. Now we have another backwards right wing extremist governor from Texas blaming a newly elected Democratic president for GW's actions...Surreal.
