Aside from the constant pain in my destroyed feet ankle and left knee being a minute by minute reminder of the “Texas Miracle” economic program… There’s the fact that the Reddest of the Red States are net debtors to the Federal Government they claim to despise. Corporate Warfare Welfare being the worst offender but also the massive amount of people who are eligible for food stamps (such as it is) AFDC and utilities assistance even though they’re working two jobs at slave wages. Keep the workers broke, in debt, and if they’re broken on the job, like myself, we’re told that we should have squeezed insurance money and “down time” money out of the wage which isn’t enough to pay our bills.

The net effect is we’re paying the corporations for the privilege of being their slaves.

Then the stoopit bastard said, many times, that he could and would secede from the United States. Groovy, GoodHair, tres groovie. You can catch the bus to Guatemala or some other banana republic any time you want.

One thing, the three other times Texas actually seceded, 1821 from Spain, 1836 from Mexico and 1861 from the United States the cause was an exaggerated view of Property Rights, and the constitutional prohibition against removing (amongst other things) property without due process. Only the “property” they were talking about was owning the lives and labor of human beings.

Funny thing about that clause, so Noble a Cause when the Confederacy of Dunces pulled that shit…

Now, the PEOPLE they were so worried about no longer being allowed to unlawfully remove their liberty from said PEOPLE, without any more than a pretense of Due Process, before they were born and for the duration of their lives and their childrens lives, well, they’re no longer considered property.

If Ricky the Republitard actually wanted to take Texas out of the Union, it would have to be a UNANIMOUS vote by every person in the state.

To forcibly evict any dissidents from Texas would deprive them of their freedoms and their property without due process.

Gentlemen and Ladies of Colour in Texas are now the majority, and, it’s our family history, we know how “kindly” and with what measure of respect for their rights our ancestors were treated the last three secession sessions.

Maybe his retarded ass should go door-to-door in South Oak Cliff soliciting votes for his Return To The Glory of the (slave plantation) Old South campaign.

And of course kiss some huge military installations goodbye, which was his next trick to balance the Texas Budget. Fat chance.

So now he’s hoping to follow the footsteps of his Thief Mentor GWBush, go to Washing Tundy Sea in order to pull of similar robbery of the U.S. treasury. Why settle for comparatively Petty Theft crimes when they could go straight for the jugular?

But the fact that the Moron, along with similarly morally challenged freaks who make up the “leadership” pool of the RepubliKlan and TeaPotty candidates, actually has a chance of being offered up as a serious candidate for the office of the President of The United States, leads me to conclude that they’re a sideshow distraction.

In circus parlance, “Send in the clowns” meant they had to clean up a particularly untidy mess in one part of the show, so they would darken the area around the dead trapeze artists, or lions contentedly feasting on their suddenly former trainer, bring up the spotlight on another area of the floor and “send in the clowns” to divert attention.

There’s another saying, “I wouldn’t follow him into a whorehouse if he was paying”.

Such as any of the Morally Challenged Congenital Liars the RNC is trotting out as their candidate field.
