So in case nobody know, Texas Republican governor Rick Perry has stated a comment during those "teabagging" protests back on April 15 that alluded to the fact that Texas might succeed from the Union.

And if you really didn't know, I live in Texas and I'm a Democrat.

So, why the concern? Because I voted for this man. I have contributed to the problem under the impression that Texas would remain in the country. I voted Republican for my governor and my Senator sure, but I voted for Obama as well. I've no regret for my voting Obama, but now I've got reason to regret voting for these Republicans.

Now while Perry didn't say this outright but rather sounded as though he were dancing around the idea, a majority of the Republicans in this state are embracing the idea with Limbaugh's apparent sucessor Glenn Beck. In fact, they had the gall to stand in front of the Alamo and cheer for the idea of leaving that nation and then after that started chanting "USA! USA!"

I'm slightly biased to Democratic ideas but of course I'm leaning to some Republican ideas such as the right to a gun. But this... this to me is un-American. Protesting is American, declaring that we should leave the nation because "we'd be better off" is damn near treason.

Look, Obama isn't perfect. But where were these Republicans during the Bush Administration when civil rights were taken, when we were torturing, when we were spending ourselves to death over two wars? Where the hell were they for those 8 years? Obama has official been in office for 100 days, slightly over three months, and Republicans now decide to leave?

John Cornyn, the senator I voted for, voted for the Bush Stimulus but against the Obama Stimulus. Why? Where is the logic? What the hell is wrong with these people!?

I'll say right now and y'all hold me to this: if Texas decides secession is the way to go, I'm high-tailing it out of here. I love my state, but I love my country more.

*UPDATE*

So y'all know how this swine flu thing is going around Mexico and how some cases are in Texas? And how Perry is one of the governors who didn't want any of the federal aid in the stimulus because it meant something or another? Guess what happened?

That's right. Gov. Rick Perry, longest serving Republican and Texas governor, is asking the federal government for aid to combat this crisis after making comments that sounded like he was for leaving the US and being independent. What do I call that? I call that f***ing hypocracy.
