The Eyes of Texas are upon Independence

I saw this on a message board, and it was too thought-provoking not to share. Texas could be an independent nation, and would probably get along JUST FINE without the many additional burdens the Federal Government places on us. Food for thought as we contemplate surviving the Obama-nation!

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)

We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to take action since B. Hussein Obama won the election. We'll miss you too.
Here is what can happen:
#1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States , Texas immediately secedes from the Union .
#2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas .
So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?
1. NASA is just south of Houston , Texas . We will control the space industry.
2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States .
3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess with Texas ," will take on a whole new meaning.
4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.
5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry will have to figure out a way to keep them warm....
6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications--small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.
7. Medical Care - We have the largest research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. Dallas has some of the best hospitals in the United States .
8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: University of Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston , Baylor, UNT ( University of North Texas ), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.
9. We have a ready supply of workers. We could just open the border when we need some more.
10. We have essential control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.
11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over Chuck Norris and a couple of Texas Rangers.
12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.
This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.
Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:
Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.
You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications.
You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.
Signed, The People of Texas
P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!
SLEEP WELL TONIGHT THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!
One Nation Under God

now............reality sets in. Texas would soon enough lose or squander these wealths and advantages due t the poor state of schools and education in general. teach those kids Intelligent Design so when it gets hard to understand it can just be the purview of some clever Designer. Drive those big ass gas guzzlers so that oil you're so proud of is gone in a tenth the time.Ah but thats okay .............You'd be importing cars and trucks wouldn't you?

But the most telling thing in your post is the blatant ignorance and racial overtones. Elect a black President and the bastion of the Old South wants to secede. 'Oh, not because he's black....because he's a damned liberal Democrat'.......horse crap. The Texans I've met that spout this kind of garbage are a bunch of 'good-ole boy' crackers.
Of course I understand it's all meant in jest....but a whole damned lot of people really believe in the wisdom of that exact sort of thing. and that's the truly sad part.

Come on, Anonymous. The point of the post isn't that Obama is black or that 'those racist cowboys with their guns and pick-up trucks' are just looking for an excuse to secede...

The point is that Texas has worked HARD for all that they have made or acquired and now the leftist liberals (yes, those educated types who think "Molly has 2 Mothers" is FAR preferable to the Bible) want to "share the wealth". Besides, I've been to Texas and most of them would be happy to ride their horses -- that would be the environmentally thing to do, wouldn't it?

Diversity used to mean that we could each do our own thing -- enjoy our cultural heritage and reap the benefits of our hard labor. Now it means you need to lock-step with the Libs or else...

By the way, I work with the Elitist Left and they have no plans to do away with their private jet, SUVs etc. It's just "better" that the uneducated "working class" (and, yes, I've heard the academics call them "peasants") do without those things in order to save the planet...

Spoken like an idiot who DOESN'T EVEN LIVE HERE. Tell me anon. what do you REALLY know about Texas?

"racial overtones." That's offensive garbage. Put up or shut up. your own comment is prejudiced and bigotted.

".You'd be importing cars and trucks wouldn't you?"
Obviously not aware of the Toyota plant in san antonio.

"Texas would soon enough lose or squander these wealths and advantages due t the poor state of schools and education in general."
Please tell me: WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES TEXAS GET FROM THE FEDERAL GOVT FROM EDUCATION? I hadnt noticed any.

We have poor school performance because our schools, public schools are flooded with kids of illegal alien parents who are illiterate in *Spanish*, let alone non-English speakers.

If Texas got to control our own borders, we might do a better job and get things straightened out in education and health care besides.

"Of course I understand it's all meant in jest....but a whole damned lot of people really believe in the wisdom of that exact sort of thing. and that's the truly sad part"
NO - THE TRULY SAD PART? Is that Texas WOULD be better off going its own way!! That's how little benefit we get from the Federal Govt.

And *THAT* is the real point.

As a Texas Expat currently in VA, i am contemplating moving back to Texas. I wonder how many others are thinking the same. With the pending census in 2010, there is no better time to do so.
