Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Medina: We are aware that secession may mean war

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

August 31 2009

On Friday, ThinkProgress reported that “tenthers” in Texas were set to hold a pro-secession rally in Austin this weekend. According to the Texas Observer, upwards of 200 people attended the rally, where one speaker declared, “We hate the United States!”

...

One speaker at the event, gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina, explained that the people at the rally were aware of the consequences of pushing for secession. “We are aware that stepping off into secession may in fact be a bloody war,” said Medina. “We are aware that the tree of freedom is occasionally watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots.” When some secessionist began arguing with pro-health care reform activists, another speaker, Larry Kilgore, was heard telling them, “Go back to the U.S. where you belong.”

These days, treason gets you high poll numbers and a real shot at being elected Governor of Texas.

If Texans like spilling blood so much, perhaps they should just join Mexico? The recent blood shedding there should be just to the Texans' taste.

You know what, maybe the US should be split. Seriously, there is no reasoning with folks here. On top of that, you now have the growing libertarian movement, which advocates for even less government and even more crazy ideas.

The Blue states are knowledge states and will do just fine. What the heck is the rest of the country going to do? Maybe vote Senator Bunning as their President.

True. We'll let it slide this time.

And Schwarzenegger as well. Hell, most of the California Republican Party can't live with Starbucks in their diet.

figuring those states are the one's who have the 'elitist' mentality, I doubt it. They 'think' they know better than everyone, but seem to be the first ones to spend themselves into oblivion.
