Oh, Thank You Sweet Jesus
There is a group who is calling for a rally on the Capitol steps at noon today.
They are the Texas Nationalists, folks who want to leave America – a country they claim to love.
And, ho boy, can they whine!
The TNM has attempted for months to obtain sponsorship for an OFFICIAL rally on the South Steps of the Capitol. However, due to the reluctance and hesitation of the “conservative” members of the Texas Legislature, the TNM and other groups that support Constitutional principles have been blocked out.
Instead, their foot dragging has allowed progressive groups to lock down the official rally space for January 8th. Rather than having Texans in support of Texas independence on the SOUTH steps, visitors to the Capitol will be treated to rallies held by groups that revere Van Jones and support illegal immigration.
We will not be deterred. We will be on the North side of the Capitol, exercising our right to peacefully assemble. We will be there as a visible sign that Texans are ready for freedom and independence and will stand against the destruction of our liberty.
And, as you may have heard, Van Jones is black. There’s a tad bit of difference between immigration reform and support of illegal immigration, but shades of black and white have no place in a damn revolution.
I’ll see if I can get a picture of the rebels. I’ll post it here if I get it.
My friend Glen Maxey got a picture of their tee-shirt.
He’s wondering what is across that line.
What great weather for these idiots to show off their bigotry. I’ll be doing a rain dance.
1I’m thinking a well-timed snow dance might clear them quicker, Sam!
2I love how their website quotes Sam Houston. He opposed Texas seceding before, right?
3Really, I love these movements because it keeps these folks busy doing something useless instead of messing with people. Used to be, they just played dominoes on the courthouse lawn. Now they call for revolution.
I don’t care what they do, as long as they don’t do it in the street and frighten the horses.
I mean, they really aren’t aware what century it is, are they?
4Do they know what a pathetic little minority of malcontents they are? Let them leave the USA and watch that the door doesn’t hit ’em in the butt as they go. We are keeping Texas.
On the other hand, when a white President is elected in a few years, they’re liable to forget all about this little tantrum.
5Glyn, darlin’. When that white president is elected in 4 years and it turns out to be a woman and not just any woman but Hillary, just watch that crowd join together in an orgy of mutual apoplexy! The tantrums they are throwing now are just rehearsals for the real thing.

7Sorry, no rain or snow here today.
But are there south and north steps of the Capitol? I thought they were East and West. With any luck, this crew will get dumb-ass lost.
Can we let them have some part of Texas the rest of y’all don’t care about and let them go? I’d like them to see what they’re no longer getting from the feds.
8Love that they’re meeting on the SOUTH steps. Not those dirty, nasty YANKEE steps. The SOUTH ones.
LOL.
9I meant to say, that they WANTED to meet on the South steps….
10** SIGH **
Diane, I do believe you have identified the Tea Party Trifecta! My personal favorite is “torpid” but we always say “torporous” cause I like 25 cent words way better than nickel ones! Ooh I’ve got a new one too : TORPEDINOUS! I love dictionaries 😀 !!
11South steps…North steps? No such critters. Some “morans” should just stay home over there in West Loosieaner.
12Diane, a supplement to your list for stupid.
13When a person has a chance to correct their ignorance (lack of knowledge), they chose not to. Exception: when said person has made a conscious decision to sell their souls.
So if ya’ll leave are you going to affiliate with Mexico?
14As a former student at Notre Dame
I am in favor of all of the states
Who want to remove themselves
From the Union at this time
To do so forthwith. After all,
You can’t spell “secede”
Without the “S.E.C.”
15@Deb, Those folks need a little history lesson. The Republic of Texas came about when their ancestors emigrated to México, preferring Mexican law to U.S. law. Only when México outlawed slavery (the FIRST country in the world to do so!), and the Mexicans blocked further immigration from the U.S., did they decide to secede…FROM MÉXICO. It was 15 years later that they finally convinced the Washington politicos to annex Texas as a state, and start the Mexican – American war.
WE DEFINITELY DON’T WANT THEM BACK!
Although as a dual-citizen (U.S. and México), I would love for them to secede from the U.S., but since México definitely wouldn’t take them back (like the U.S. did after the Civil War), I don’t know where they would secede to.
I’m afraid you Texans are stuck with them. Sorry.
16As General Winfield Scott put it at the time of the original secession: “Wayward sisters, depart in peace.” Which is why I’ve got a chromolithograph of him, dating from the 1850s, on my living-room wall.
17I was at the Hispanics Organized to Promote Education (HOPE) Rally at the Capitol. Since it was raining, we moved the rally to the Rotunda. Wonder what the “Nationalist/Seccessionist” thought when we chanted loud and strong in English & Spanish – “The People United will never be Divided!!”
18I really don’t much care what they do, or in which direction they choose to do it.
What I really think should happen, is that a list is compiled with the names of all these folks who want to leave Texas, and that they are put on the same list….. as all the other people Texas wants to make it darned near impossible for them to vote.
If you want to leave…… leave. And stay home on election day.
Just quit screwing up everything here for the rest of us, who are going to stay.
19As far as I’m concerned the line in the sand they can cross is the Rio Grande.
