Secessionists are idiots

Yes, I live in the fine state of Texas -- where the myth prevails that we are the only state that preserves the right to secede from the union.

We do not

We have not had that right for over 150 years.

move on Texans

But making headway in the news is that Texans have signed a petition to secede from the union -- and other moronic states have followed.

First off -- let's not say they SIGNed a petition.  No one has gone door knocking with petitions for us to sign -- no one has had to get off their sofa, wipe off the cheeto dust and pick up a pen

no

it's all online now

you can do it during a commercial.

So racking up 80K or so signatures is nothing

there are something like 28million texans

and most of us have the common sense to know that secession is the worst idea ever.

Texans do not want to pay more taxes -- so do we think the tax money we already pay is going to pay for:

border defense
a military
social security
setting up our own government infrastructure
a department of education
ambassadors
transportation infrastructure
medicaid, medicare and CHIP subsidies
not to mention economic issues -- will we set up our own dollar?

frankly

the whole idea is just embarrassing that such a small group of people gets national attention over what is essentially a temper tantrum in the middle of Walmart.

Texans -- it's time to wake up
put on your big girl panties and get busy

if you want to be political activists -- LEAVE YOUR HOUSE -- and go do something you believe in.

but stop sounding like a little kid who says they'll "take their ball and go home" if we don't give them a do-over.

it's embarrassing.
