Next time a hurricane wipes out a couple of your cities and industries, do not call on the US government for help or seek aid from FEMA. You don't want government in your business? Then keep it out. Don't call.
Governor, you stated that Texans are the most patriotic people in America. Hypocrite. How can you bark on ad nauseum about patriotism while threatening to illegally secede from the Union? Remember the documents signed when the Confederacy lost the Civil War?
Oh hell, who cares? Please secede and take all those Texan 'haters' with you. This tea party sham is not about taxes. It is about a Democrat African American sitting in the White House trying to clean up the mess left by Texas' own beloved 'decider-in-son,' George W. Bush. Texans elevate Republican whining to an art form.
P.S. Governor...the Blue State of New Jersey gets the least bang for its tax bucks of any of the 50 states, but you don't hear them threatening secession. Yawll ain't so tough.
