Texas Politician: Texas "his state is actively preparing to secede from the union

if the U.S. falls apart."
A prominent Texas politician, who is running to be the state’s next Attorney General, said this week his state is actively preparing to secede from the union and become an “independent nation” if the U.S. “falls apart.”

Barry Smitherman, currently the Texas Railroad Commissioner, made the comments in an interview published in World Net Daily (WND) on Monday.

“Generally speaking, we have made great progress in becoming an independent nation, an ‘island nation’ if you will, and I think we want to continue down that path so that if the rest of the country falls apart, Texas can operate as a stand-alone entity with energy, food, water and roads as if we were a closed-loop system,” Smitherman said.

It makes one wonder if any other states are looking at it. I'd be willing to bet there are at least a few who are doing so, although they aren't as vocal about it as former Republic of Texas.

I bet it is much more popular in all the red states than the politicians can even imagine. Much like all the people who say no war in Syria. They are just completely ignored.

I concur, Preppy. Let 'em go on ignoring the will of the majority, and see how far they get before the wheels fall off.
