From The Late Show With David Letterman 4/17/2009 on CBS
-----------------
DAVE: Anybody here from the great state of Texas? Do we have any Texans?
[Applause]
DAVE: This is what I heard on the news. The people of Texas are so upset with the way things are going, that they think that they're going to secede from the United States of America.
[Laughs and applause]
DAVE: They're gonna, they're gonna become their own country. Don't mess with Texas.
[Laughts]
DAVE: So there was an announcement about Texas leaving the United States. Wouldn't that be crazy? All of a sudden Texas is not part of this great land of ours? Take a look, watch...
NARRATOR: Texas is threatening to secede from the union. Let's imagine what America would be like without the contributions of Texans. An America without people such as George W. Bush.
[Laughs]
NARRATOR: Sounds good to us!! A message from the other 49 states.
DAVE: Yeah, you see?
[Loud applause]
DAVE: George W. Bush...entering his 9th year of not being president!
Fine by me. They're fucked up people.

Not offensive to me... especially when "our" oil reserves are "not" figured into the big picture.

More examples of secular Republics:
Roman Republic: genocided the Dacians and Gauls, practiced pre-emptive war
French Republic: thousands guillotined including women and children
Weimar Republic: 10 million genocided.
Soviet Republics: 40 million genocided.
People's Republic of China (Commies): 60 million genocided.
Republic of China (Not commies): ~500,000 massacred
Most republics, commie, nazi, or even normal secular ones, commit massacres and genocides.

@NUTCASE71733 “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams
Only Thomas Paine is truly not religious, but he is not a founding father. He's the guy who rabble roused us into revolution but he was not a part of the convention or congress. He also had no one visit his funeral and was well despised (went to France and started their Reign of Terror revolution as secular Republics tend to do).
