Sore Losers Want To Secede

The little wimpy guy above wants Texas to secede from the Union. This common tax evader calls folks who voted for our President – “MAGGOTS”

One could say this seditious talk got started when Bill Cornwell and Heather Hanson, called me a “parasite” – last year! Bill’s father lives in Texas, and may have signed a petition sent to our President by the Texas Nationalist Movement.

I don’t think this is a good environment for my grandson, Tyler Hunt, to be around. Secessionists, and extremists who don’t like the Federal Government, are often very violent people – even wimpy traitors!

Bill’s photo would make a great poster for folks guilty of treason.

Peter Morrison, treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party in Texas, suggests in his newsletter that the state should have an “amicable divorce” from the “maggots” who re-elected Obama.

Morrison posted on his Facebook page his post-election thoughts: “We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity. But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our opportunity.”

“Texas was once its own country, and many Texans already think in nationalist terms about their state,” Morrison continued. “We need to do everything possible to encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why should Vermont and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her own way in peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this gut-wrenching spectacle every four years.”

Reached for comment by Bud Kennedy at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Kent Batman, the chairman of the Hardin County Republican Party, said: “Wow.”

“OK, well — I guess I need to start taking a look at his newsletters,” Batman said.
According to Kennedy, State Board of Education Chairman Don McLeroy picked Morrison to screen the state’s public-school textbooks.

Post 2012 Presidential Election
On November 9, 2012, an online petition was created on whitehouse.gov titled “Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.” The petition states:
The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.[6]
As of 12:15AM CST, 14 November 2012, the petition has garnered 92,943 signatures, far more than the 25,000 signatures required to illicit a response from the White House[7] .
[edit] Governor Perry’s remarks
In April 2009, Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas, appeared to endorse a resolution supporting Texan sovereignty at a Tea Party in Austin, Texas, following a question from a reporter.
There’s a lot of different scenarios. Texas is a unique place. When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that…. My hope is that America, and Washington in particular, will pay attention. We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that? But Texas is a very unique place, and a pretty independent lot to boot.

On April 19, 2009, the Amarillo Globe-News posted an editorial,[10] writing that Perry “uttered some words that take that discussion to a level not heard since, oh, 1861 – when Texas in fact did secede and joined the Confederate States of America. We all know what happened next.”
[edit] Texas House Concurrent Resolution 50
On February 17, 2009, House Concurrent Resolution 50 was introduced and on May 30, 2009, the resolution passed in the Texas House of Representatives with amendments.[11][12] The resolution reads in part:[13]
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas hereby claim sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That this serve as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That all compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.
On April 9, 2009, Governor Perry affirmed his support for the resolution.[14] Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, said “We haven’t heard as much talk about Texas sovereignty and states’ rights in the last 30 years as we have in the last week.”[15]
However, the Texas resolution is not binding on the Federal government. Among other things, the U.S. Supreme Court case Texas v White established this principle, and remains the last legal word in the debate.
[edit] Public opinion among Texas voters
After Perry’s comments received considerable attention and news coverage, Rasmussen Reports issued a poll and found that about 1 in 3 of those surveyed believed that Texas has the right to secede from the United States, although only 18% would support secession and 75% would oppose secession.[16] In another poll, 60% of Texans surveyed opposed becoming an independent nation. However, 48% of Texas Republicans surveyed supported it.[17]
