Hey Texas, still wanna secede?

[BluesLegend]

Wanna dry out first and reconsider, or are ya still all pro-secede down there? If pro-secede, are you rejecting federal disaster money and such so as not to be hypocritical?

^^^ So you think its funny people got killed and home were destroyed, more proof leftist scum have no class.

I think it is horrible that people are suffering

But we have no room in the budget to help them

Yeah, the money's better spent on those who won't help themselves and typically vote (D). You lefties are scum of the Earth, you really are... vile wastes of humanity most of you.

Texas will just have to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, buckle down, work harder, stop looking for handouts, not rely on BIG GOVERNMENT, handle things at the state level and cut back on waste, fraud and abuse to pay for it themselves

The rest of the country has been Taxed Enough Already and we can't pay for them

Texas has been paying into the Federal system designed to provide assistance in the event of a natural disaster, why would you deny their claim?

Gotta love America...if we're not fighting somebody else, we sure do fight each other.

I think Obama is quite naïve in how he thinks his reasoned arguments might change that.

But Texas may be the one red state exception to secession being advantageous.

Being a Californian sucks in many ways because of how America works.

We pay federal taxes the same as everybody, and get far less than that back from the government in services.

Our 38,000,000 legal citizens have the same amount of representation in the senate, that 700,000 legal citizens in Wyoming do.

The Presidential elections have been decided before Californians get off work to vote

There are many many advantages to being part of this country for fly over red states, and all they do is bitch that liberals are taking things away from them.

Doesn't make sense, and Texas is just the biggest version of them in some ways

Hey moron... the number of representatives in the house is based on population... bills have to pass the house and senate, and California's votes for the POTUS are based on population, and the POTUS has the power of the veto, it's called checks and balances against tyranny. Look it up.

Apparently you, Jroc, and Crusader are unfamiliar with the term "gerrymandering"

That's adorable

Yeah cause democrats don't gerrymander... ROLLS EYES...

But it benefits Republicans far more.

Blah blah blah... and BS. They both do it and they both benefit.

Did you read that article?

Texas can't legally secede but they do have the right to split into four (4) different States. It was in their agreement when they joined the Union.

Fact.

Imagine that -- Six more Republican Senators......

Don't talk like that, you're scaring me.

Yup. It's called Texas Divisionism and I was wrong about the number -- They can split into 5 States.

Pre-Approved by both Houses of Congress in 1845.

Fact

They should either do that...or secede like they keep "threatening" to.

Oh I believe you.

I've driven from Dallas to Houston, and that state just keeps on going. If it's possible to die of boredom due to hours and hours of unchanging scenery, it would happen driving anywhere in Texas.

I guess having more Texas senators would suck, but would it benefit the state in any other way?

 

[Contumacious]

Fact.

The fucktards never cease to amaze me, parroting bullshit as if they were facts

The federal government is LEGALLY required to

1- treat states as SOVEREIGN independent entities not mere provinces
2- the federal government 's authority is LEGALLY limited to EXTERNAL matters such as foreign policy and commerce

That's all folks

But this is a new expenditure and was not provided for in the 2015 budget

It would be nice to help them out, but we just can't afford it
I don't know about you, but I have been Taxed Enough Already and can't afford to help Texas
Maybe they can have yard sales and car washes to help pay for it

Fine...figure out how much that is and give them that amount but no more. I'm a reasonable person.

 

[rightwinger]

Texas has been talking about seceding

This would be good practice for them to show they don't need the Federal Government

 

[hangover]

Can't wait to see how all those roads and bridges get fixed. I loved seeing Ted Cruz show his compassion for all those "hurting" Texans. Who needs FEMA? Who needs infrastructure? Go ahead Ted, destroy all those government programs, Texas will be fine.

No, which proves that in a time of need, even red states need help from the feds. And if republican politicians had their way, they would probably do away with these disaster relief programs, or defund them drastically. Why would anybody that's not a multimillionaire ever vote republican is a mystery.

I would be willing to help Ted Cruz if he can show me where in the Constitution it says we should help states with flooding

The Federalist Papers never says anything about flooding

Secession means opting out. Now you say they want to opt in. Can't buy flood insurance and collect the next day.

Yes, pro-secede. Unless of course you folks have reconsidered and are now for liberty and against tyranny. Cause if that's the case then I like liberty.

Can you please tell me what tyrannical acts anyone has taken against Texas?

Can you please tell me who lost their liberty and who took it from them?

Conservatives use these words but they don't seem to use them correctly. They seem like code words to conservatives but not used correctly to the meaning of the words.

Do conservatives even know the meaning of those words or do you just throw them around casually without any care to what they really mean?

LOL and if they paid in substantially more you are willing to give it all back?

 

[toxicmedia]

I have another question for gerrymandering secessionist Texans.

In a midterm year the President’s opposition party always gains seats.

Why do you guys always declare the death of liberalism every time that happens?...when it's perfectly normal?

Only old white guys vote during mid terms.

I didn't notice an income tax in there either

Just repeating some of the reasons Texas Senators gave when my state needed disaster relief after Hurricane Sandy

Ted Cruz Demands Federal Money For Texas Floods After Blocking Hurricane Sandy Relief

 

[boilermaker55]

While others like you curse them vehemently with every breath you take and want department after department annihilated. You constant bitching about paying taxes to run a country. Then......when you need someone to come wipe your nose for you, the world takes a whole different perspective.
Your complaining and disgust for this country is remarkable, and then you have this hypocritical posting.

And just where oh where did the federal disaster money come from? The fucking tooth fairy?

You talk about the feds like they are God Almighty themselves. Without the taxpayers dime they're jack shit.

Funny, but in post 245 in the "Why not make MW $30/hr" you said this:

"Different issue and does nothing to help 35 million WORKING americans who need government assistance"

So, which is it?
