The Civil War answered any questions regarding the legality and practicality of secession.

We are not a country or a nation. We are a federation of free, independent and sovereign States, a Union.

"We federated for foreign affairs only, all domestic affairs are left to the States, or to the People."

Thomas Jefferson

@telecopter President Lamar withdrew the petition to join the U.S. that President Houston submitted earlier. Many of us agree with Lamar.

@PacoMxxN Hummm not sure where to start here. First off, slavery was abolished in Texas with the constitution of 1824. That constitution was so popular in Texas that the 1824 flag was the first and most recognized banner of the Republic of Texas. Texas sought independence in 1835 not over slavery but because the 1824 constitution was abolished by Santa Anna in favor of a dictatorship. The proper relationship between Texas and the U.S. is nation to nation. Allies, friends & strong.

@GSScasual What troops will you have? Mst of the miltary are southerners. You think you'll get the hippies and faggots in LA, San Fagcisco and Jew York Shitty to invade the South?

[robotshavesoul]

@freysman yeah but you'd be an idiot to think the public see the two as the same.

[PacoMxxN]

Interesting, Texas wanted independence once because they disagreed with the abolition of slavery (1830), now they are being ingrates again to a nation that made them, or better said, gave them the economy they have (Funny, Texas means "friends" or "allies", ironic)...hmmmm, btw I think if Texas does secede, it should give all the land it took from New Mexico...

HELL WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

[cowboy8555]

SECESSION ALL THE WAY! DAMN THE UNION TO HELL!!

[DarthRandall]

I would be all for Texas and all the other southern shit states seceding if that didn't mean that they would devolve into a shithole even worse than Mexico is.  It's not that I care what happens to them, just that Mexico makes a far better neighbor than they would be.

[dn2069]

does he not realise that sovereignty and secession go hand in hand? you can't be free from your current sovereign government without establishing your own.

Traitor. No wonder the USA didn't accept Texas for nearly a decade. What average Americans don't know is: yes, Texas was it's own nation at one point...for 10 lousy years. In those 10 lousy years as The Republic of Texas, the standard of living was sh*t. It was in fact, so bad, that Texas BEGGED the United States to accept them. Guess what? - the USA WOULDN'T HAVE THEM, till after they begged for NINE years. I say, let them secede - And no allowing them back next time.
