Don't Mess With Texas

Evidently at midnight, "sequester" happens whatever the heck THAT is...  It's not that I'm an uninformed voter, it's just that they've cried "Wolf" one too many times, so I haven't even been trying to learn what it is. It doesn't matter anyway.  I don't believe the politicians, especially the Democrats. They are a bunch of liars and deceivers. They pass different rules for themselves than for their constituents. They are, in essence, above the law and are making sure they stay that way. That's when it transfers from a democracy or republic to a dictatorship or kingdom. Yes, we have voted these people in office but the system is so messed up, that most of the people that will run and put up with all of this have very poor character and nine times out of ten, are in in for the very wrong reasons.
So here in Texas, I say secede. You think that's crazy? Why? The majority of Texans vote conservatively and our leaders in power are making good decisions. Yes, there are the Sheila Jackson Lee's in Houston, but they don't speak for most of us. This country was built on a group of states that united for common money exchange and protection, but 'states rights' ruled and kept each area governed by the type of people in that area. Texans are VERY different from those in New Hampshire and Washington state. Yet, with the way our elective process is structured, those few people in New Hampshire influence our presidency in a huge way. So, just as the European Union is getting shaky, maybe the United States should too if the federal government keeps trying to take our rights. They aren't a kingdom, they are temporary people voted in. They are SUPPOSED to be our representatives. In Texas, they are and they DO represent us. We believe in the second amendment. Let me rephrase that - we believe in ALL of the amendments. We have strong, tough men here who want to defend their families. We have oil we want to drill for. We want healthcare and everything else to be independent. We believe in freedom of the individual and not socialism.
The ridiculousness of Washington keeps getting worse and worse... probably past the point of no return. I say let's go back to state's rights, or even regional state's rights and go back to our roots.
Anybody have a better suggestion??
