Thread Name: BS: Texas Secession
Subject: RE: BS: Texas Secession
The sky is falling!

My favorite part: "Talk of secession is an attack on our country. It can be nothing else. It is the ultimate anti-American statement," Dunnam said at a news conference.

Ummm . . . except that this country was founded upon an act of secession. The American 'Revolution' wasn't really anything like the French Revolution, or the Boshevik Revolution. It did not overturn the existing order, it did not change fundamental social and economic relations.

Frankly, I would not care if Texas left the Union. It's practically another country as it stands, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
