Farewell Texas (and good riddance)

Looks like we'd better get Gabriel a passport sooner rather than later. Texas is apparently planning to secede and I for one want to be among the first to let them know to not let the door hit them where the good Lord split them.

This treasonous behavior is being cheered on by FAUXNews:

Look, I don't know how many jobs our military employs in Texas, but I think it would serve the rest of the nation well if we took all of the tanks and helicopters out of Fort Hood, all of the fighters and bombers out of San Antonio and Wichita Falls, pull all of the MX missiles out of the Panhandle, and get the navy out of Corpus Christi. While they are leaving, we should pluck NASA out of Clear Lake and send their stuff over to Huntsville or out to California.

Why? One, they OBVIOUSLY hate Federal dollars in Texas so we should stop spending there. Two, frankly, I don't think we should trust anti-Americans with high tech weapons systems, nuclear weapons, and a space program. I mean, they're choices for secessionist president are two Bushes, Dick Armey, Tom DeLay, and the current tool Perry. Do YOU want any of these idiots with a nuclear weapon and the desire to hurt America?

Do you need more convincing that now is the time to cut Texas loose? Here's some food for thought:

- In Texas schools, apparently you can't score less than a 50 on your homework. In some schools, no less than 70. Yeah, you probably don't even have to show up to school and still be able to graduate with a "D" average.

- Also in Texas schools, the state Board of Education is still trying to refute evolution and replace it with creationism. If their psycho state leaves, the rest of the nation won't be as unduly influenced by their crazy hatred of science.

- Free speech is also dying in Texas. A city councilman was recently arrested for daring to challenge the installation of red light cameras in his town. He deigned to protest the violation of offenders' rights and lost some rights of his own in the process.

I have family and in-laws there. I lived there for damn near five years. But honestly, that state is freaking fruit loops folks. If they want to cut and run, let them. Grab anything of value paid for with US tax dollars, blow up the roads and bridges at the borders and let 'em loose. Once we establish relations with the Talibangelical theocracy they put into place, I'll take Gabriel to go visit the in-laws. Me and whatever pack of armed vets I can round up to protect my half-brown ass from the lynch mobs they'll put in place.
