flipflopper

Now if you stay up with my blogs, you will notice that I joke and make outlandish statements occasionally. Now just like the rest of you, I though Rick Perry was off his rocker, but if you think about it, he might be absolutely right when he said that Texas should secede from the Union.

My liberal bias mind doesn’t always lean to the left, hence the name “FlipFlopper”, so just hear me out on this one.

What A Great State

A friend of mine and I were having a discussion about our nation and the lack of desire by the American People to make any drastic changes at a time when change is drastically needed. I will blog more about the conversation that lead up to my conclusion in my next post because I know your are chomping at the bit to ridicule my support for seceding from such a great nation.

Here is the point that friend made:

There are 2 parties running America, Republicans and Democrats. independents/libertarians can run for office, but will never get elected. Of the 300 something million people in America maybe 30 - 35 % of them care enough to try to change the way this country is ran.

Long story short, he pointed out that if America keeps going in the same direction, we are all going to be in a world of hurt before we realize it, and it really is already too late to be able to change the system. There is too much power, greed, and corruption involved.

So if there is no hope, why not start over? Why not live by a once great constitution? Why not change the election process? Why not look at the possibilities of undoing all of the wrongs while incorporating all of the rights?

Texas is a big state with 3 cities among top 10 cities in the United States. The environment is very diverse and Texas has a vast variety of natural resources.

We would not secede because Obama is screwing up, or because Bush drove this nation into the ground. No, we would seccede for the same reason’s our Four Fathers found “this” great nation. We would secede because there is a power that is greater than it’s people. We call it the American Government. If you honestly believe that America is for the people, by the people then you are only fooling yourself.

How is it possible that a President with a national popularity of 35% and less along with a congress of a 17% approval rating not get the boot? How can these people finish their terms? But we will try and kick a president out of office for doing something that you yourself have done.

So why not start over?

I can think of one thing, well actually I didn’t thing of it and it caught me off guard, and that is if Texas secedes, George W. could run for office. Scary… Thank you TopBreakingStories.

Oh… and by the way, if a Democrat hade even whispered the word “Secede” 2,4,6, or 8 years ago, he would have been thrown into a back alley, beat, and framed for murdering a prostitute.
