[quote:sunny:MV83NzI1NDZfMTE4ODQxNDlfOTM2QjMzODI=] [quote:Sepitus 640119] I am a 4th generation Texan. My Great Grandfather brought his family here right after the Civil War to escape the Yankees who were hunting down certain Confederate solders. I am proud to be a Texan and I cherish my family history and my States history. Texas has contributed much to the United States of America both economically and politically. We are a proud people. When a foreigner ask a Texan "where are you from?" the answer is usually "Texas" , not "The USA". As long as Texas is in a mutually beneficial relationship with Washington D.C., then there will be no problems. However, if things continue to deteriorate and Washington continues to screw us, well then Succession is not out of the realm of possibilities. Texas is one of the few States in the Union that even has a remote chance of going it alone. We control the majority of oil, High Tech, food production and medicine, just to name a few. We still have a strong economy and our State is not about to go bankrupt. This Poll that says 75% of Texans wish to stay in the Union is probably true. We have not felt the effects of the recession/depression like other parts of the country. However, if the rest of the Union starts to go down in flames, because of the irresponsible politicians in D.C.,and it starts to drag Texas down, then I guarantee you that we Texans will take matters into our own hands. DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS! [/quote] :applause: :cheer: :applause: :cheer: :applause: [/quote]
