This might cheeze off all you Bush Hatin Liberals here on MT... but these arent my words... I just found the concept funny. As a side note, i would be amused no matter which party it referred to...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Future of Texas

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right
to secede from the Union.
(please refer to the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848).

We Texans love y'all, but we'll have to take action if
Kerry wins president over Bush. We'll miss you too.

Texas has given all those complainers plenty of time
to get used to the results. After seeing the whiners
along the campaign route, the folks from Texas are
considering taking matters into our their hands.

Here is our solution:

#1: Let John Kerry become President of the United States.
(all 49 states.)

#2: George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of Texas.

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas.
(we will control the space industry.)

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.

3. Defense Industry. (we have over 65% of it)
The term "Don't mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the
Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years.
Yankee states? Sorry about that.

5. Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and
it's too bad about those northern states.
John Kerry will figure a way to keep them warm....

6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications: Small places like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raythe! on, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, Etc, Etc. The list goes on and on.

7. Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for
Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units
in the world and other large health planning centers.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: UT., Texas A&M,
Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT,
Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the south anyway

9. We have a ready supply of workers.
(just open the border when we need some more).

10. We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard
and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo,
we can raise an army in 24 hours if we need it.
If the situation really gets bad, we can always call
Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over a couple
Texas Rangers.

12. We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables and lets not forget seafood from the gulf. And everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape.
There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Now to the rest of the United States under President Kerry:


Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars,
only President Kerry will be able to drive around in his
9 mile per gallon SUV. The rest of the United States will have
to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the space center in Houston will cut off your communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes but since Mr. Kerry has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas.
Signed, The People in Texas

Ah, yes, another idea that any state (or body of the government) is self-sufficient and would survive without others. Ah, the idealistic cowboy mentality.

1) No funding for NASA? Guess that aerospace inductry would die.
2) No grain for the hogs and cattle? Guess you'll have to slaughter them pretty soon.

This is my favorite

9. We have a ready supply of workers.

I'm sure that all the immigrants would never think of changing things in the great state of Texas after they moved there! (Like deposing Bush....)

technopunk -

OK, I did laugh at that one! :)

As someone who was married to a Texan, the "don't mess with Texas" gets old. I'd like to see some other states jump in with their slogans, like "Don't f*** with New York or we'll spit down your neck, a'ight?"

lol!

2 Thoughts ..

1) Yeah, that civil war was really funny, wasn't it?
2) If I didn't so respond, wouldn't you have been terribly disappointed?

Mike

P.S. It ain't that funny ... although the fish joke .. well....

You know, y'all process paper products, but where the heck do ya think you get the trees from? From the Pac North West, baby! Secede from the union and just TRY to get into Washington for your newspaper fodder.

Yah, we Washingtonians got a slogan...it's "TIMMMBBERRRRRRRRR!"

Take off, Texas and don't let the door hit ya on the **** on the way out.

By the way - of all the southern states, only Texans consider Texas to actually BE part of the south. Texas isn't the south - Texas is Texas. Tejas soon, if you let in all those immigrants and they take up arms agin' ya since you just luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv that second ammendment so much.

My parents were from Nashville - now THAT'S the south. We'll keep Nashville and the Grand Ol' Opry and southern fried chicken, white beans and cornbread, fried green tomatoes - oh and we got plenty of seafood in Maine, Florida and Puget Sound, thank you very much. We'll keep our solar power, wind power, hydropower and biodeisel and eventually run y'all right on OUT of the energy business. All them cattle y'all are feeding are gonna smog you out like you've never been smogged out before. California and Oregon Dairies will serve us well along with Wisconsin, so you can keep that too. Beef? overrated and bad for your health. Technology? ever hear of the Silicon Valley? And most of the companies mentioned are setting up shop in Colorado anyway. Yeah - you can take your technology too. And there's plenty more space centers all over the country - we'll take our space funding, you take your new museum. Defense industry? Y'all got the US defense industry. Secede and it all goes right back to us, baby, yeah. Natural gas? yeah, just assign one or two of your farting cows per residence and they'll have all the feul they'll need to keep warm. Health Centers? Where is the Mayo Clinic? John's Hopkins? They're not in Tejas, my friend.

Yes, yes, yes. The USA without Texas - starting to sound better and better all the time.

Don't forget to take Bushes with ya - y'all might need them for making paper with.
