News Article: If Scotland can secede, so can Texas
- Thread starter Bodhisattva
- Start date
Texans can believe whatever they wish, but with no standing army they'd belong to Mexico within a month of secession.
I am already here in Texas! I'm all in!
My only request is that we annex the states that have SEC teams! Then, we can build a Great Lone Star Wall to keep out outsiders. The Lone Star Nation would be made up of Alabama, Ar Kansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mittittippi, South Carolina, Tennercee and the largest state in the Lone Star Nation, Texas!
Each state that enters the Lone Star Nation can have as many representatives as it does National Championships in the old United States in its legislative branch. Having a Barn as a campus doesn't count! All others can have 2 representatives. The President has to be originally (from Birth) a state that has a school with a National Championship. We will dig up Judge Roy Bean to serve as the Judicial Branch. If any other state in the U.S. wants to be admitted, it has to be approved by 100% of all original Lone Star Nation states. California, Illinois, and New York need not apply. They would never get 100% vote to be admitted. College Station or Tuscaloosa would be the temporary new national capital. Austin is too liberal. Liberals would be flown over the the Lone Star Wall out of the state in a relocation project for this great nation. They will have one way tickets to Iran or Iraq. After this relocation project, Austin will become the national capital.
Sounds like a plan.
would become a Christian Theocracy and fall apart in shambles and/or succumb to a sectarian civil war between which particular sect of christianity was the "right" one within the first year
tax policy would be great though
Right. Let's see how those AR15s and deer rifles do against armor, helicopters, etc.
IMO the pros outweigh the cons:
A lot of Texans are in the US military. They would transition over to that of their new country. Plenty of military infrastrure is in place and Texas would get their share of the hardware.
Tax policy would continue to attract businesses, people who already have money, and those who like the idea of becoming wealthy (by keeping most of what they earn).
Getting rid of most of the welfare state would allow people's money to be used much more efficiently (generating more wealth) and would force the slugs to either get off their arse and be productive or move to some loser-friendly country.
But, I tend to agree with Jon. The fundies would probably screw it up over infighting on such important issues as which Protestant school prayer does God want to the exclusion of all others.

Don't think so -- I think they wold be "Texas first" -- deal with the other stuff later....
Rick Perry or Ted Cruz version of Texas first would cause much of the gulf coast to secede from this new union as the New Orleans to Mobile stretch is pretty Catholic and would not take to no evolution in school and being told that the earth is 6,000 years old.
Atlanta, Dallas, Austin, Houston would all end up looking like Fallujah as emboldened "warriors of christ" tried to march in and drag out the hippies, gays and others who've made "poor lifestyle choices"
Yeah, this would fail so fast it isn't funny
economically there would be pro's assuming that they could hold the major cities from outright secession, which they couldn't
)
Right now, Texas has an infantry division with two infantry brigades and a Combat Aviation Brigade.
With 27 million people (say 13 million men, say 3 million of which would be militarily useful), I'd bet that a goodly number of those would be more than willing do their bit if Mexico were to invade.
El Ejercito Mexicano has 267,000 men for their whole country, so I'm not sure how much they could spare for La Reconquista. If I were a Texan, I'd take those odds.
