[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1449343, member: 1294"] Some say so. [url]http://chspcc.com/hawaii-island-medical/what-do-you-think-of-the-country-of-texoarkla-2[/url] What do you think of THE COUNTRY of TEXOARKLA? February 13th, 2010 | Author: admin JUST THE FACTS! THE COUNTRY of TEXOARKLA In case things get a little tougher during the next few months, we In LOUISIANA, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA & ARKANSAS have a plan. Maybe you dont know it, but LOUISIANA, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA & ARKANSAS have a legal right to secede from the Union. (Reference the Texas/Louisiana-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.) Us TEXOARKLANS love yall Americans, but well probably have to take action since Barack Obama won the election and is now the President of the U.S.A. Well miss yall though. Here is what can happen: 1. Barack Hussein Obama, after becoming the President of the United States, begins to try and create a socialist country, then TEXAS, LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS and OKLAHOMA announces that they are going to secede from the Union. 2. George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of TEXOARKLA. You might think that he doesnt talk too pretty, but we havent had another terrorist attack and the economy was fine until the effects of Barney Frank and the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came home to roost. So what does TEXOARKLA 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 90% of the gasoline in the United States. 3. Defense Industrywe have over 65% of it. The term "Dont mess with TEXAS," will take on a whole new meaning. 4. Oil we can supply all the oil that the Republic of TEXOARKLA will need for the next 300 years. What will the other states do? Gee, we dont know. Why not ask Obama? 5. Natural Gas again, we have all we need and its too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry and Al Gore will just have to figure out a way to keep them warm 6. Computer Industry we lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications equipment small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Nortel, Alcatel, etc. The list goes on and on. 7. Medical Care We have the research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. 8. We have enough colleges to keep educating and making smarter citizens: University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, UL-Lafayette, UL-Monroe, University of Arkansas, LSU, Arkansas State University, Baylor, Rice, TCU, SMU and MANY more. 9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force and it isnt restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in TEXOARKLA, we are a Right-to-Work State and, therefore, its every man and woman for themselves. We just go out and get the job done.. And if we dont like the way one company operates, we get a job somewhere else. 10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance industries, etc. 11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the TEXOARKLA National Guard, the TEXOARKLA Air National Guard, and several military bases. We dont have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six guns and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one.

We can finally build the wall between TEXOARKLA and Mexico and deport Illegal Aliens and say the hell with the EPA and build the lock and damn system in New Orleans that will keep the water out. This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of TEXOARKLA in good shape. There isnt a thing out there that we need and dont have. Now to the rest of you folks in the United States under President Obama: Since you wont have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes. You wont have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications. You wont have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Al Gore has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as l Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the united States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of Texas (or any other "free and independent State") from the United States. Joining the "Union" was ever and always voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option (regardless of what any self-appointed academic, media, or government "experts"including Abraham Lincoln himselfmay have ever said). No. For space considerations, here are the relevant portions of the Supreme Courts decision in Texas v. White: "When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States. " The obligations of the State, as a member of the Union remained perfect and unimpaired. the State did not cease to be a State, nor her citizens to be citizens of the Union. " Our conclusion therefore is, that Texas continued to be a State, and a State of the Union." Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700, 703 (1868) It is noteworthy that two years after that decision, President Grant signed an act entitling Texas to U.S. Congressional representation, readmitting Texas to the Union. Whats wrong with this picture? Either the Supreme Court was wrong in claiming Texas never actually left the Union (they were see below), or the Executive (President Grant) was wrong in "readmitting" a state that, according to the Supreme Court, had never left. Both cant be logically or legally true. [/QUOTE]
