Only during a Democrat Administration do you see....

Bush bailed AIG out.

If AIG is correct that they had an overpayment of 30 million, then they can put it toward the billions they owe us.

Obama doesn't micro-manage the treasury department or the IRS.

Thanks for making my point.

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

We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to
take action since Barack Obama won the election. We'll
miss you too.

Here is what can happen:

1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States , and Texas immediately secedes from the Union.

2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas. You might not think that he talks too pretty, but we haven't had another terrorist attack, and the economy was fine until the effects of the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came to roost.

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. What will the other states do? Gee, we don't know. Why not ask Obama?

5 Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry and Al Gore will 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, HP/EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied
Materials, Ball Microconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, 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. The
Houston Medical Center alone employees over 65,000 people.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us getting smarter: University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Rice, SMU, University of Dallas, University of Houston, Baylor, University of North Texas, Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.

9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force, and it isn't restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in Texas, it's a Right to Work State and, therefore, it's every man and women for themselves. We just go out and get the job done. And if we don't 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 Texas National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, and several military bases. 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 one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over the Texas Rangers.

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

13. Three of the 10 largest cities in the United States, and 23 of the 100 largest cities in the United States, are located in Texas . And Texas also has more land than California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island and
Vermont -- COMBINED.

14. Trade: Three of the ten largest ports in the United States are located in Texas.

15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to. You see, nothing rusts in Texas, so our vehicles stay beautiful and run well for decades.

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 Obama: Since you won't 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 won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications.

You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2,000 years it will
take to get enough heat from Global Warming.

So, in other words, go screw yourselves. Oh, that's right. You already have!

Signed, The People of Texas

P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!

If we kicked the ass of the entire South when that was attempted, you had better believe we can handle Texas.

Either way, just because someting is legal under Texas state law doesn't mean it's legal under Federal law - which trumps state law.

You should really give Jim Newell from the Wonkette credit for writing that for you

Texas Louisiana American Annexation Treaty of 1848?

In:US History, Treaties [Edit categories]

Answer:

.

A quick search with Google brings up a lot of posts proclaiming this, but no reference what so ever to this "treaty" in any law library or archive.

So what would the facts be?

First here are the dates of admission into the United States of the areas in question.

Louisiana Apr 30, 1812 Arkansas Jun 15, 1836 Texas Dec 29, 1845 Oklahoma Nov 16, 1907
Second, you do not annex states, you annex territories. The Louisiana Purchase was signed into effect in 1803. This annexed the territories that would become Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeastern
New Mexico, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans. (The Oklahoma Panhandle, and southwestern portions of Kansas and Louisiana were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.)

The Republic of Texas was supposed to be annexed in October 1845 as a Treaty of Annexation was the requirement in order to annex a sovereign nation. Texas became a state in December 1845 after statehood was granted by the U.S. Government, however, after research at the national archives of the United States and the state Capital of Texas, no Treaty of Annexation has ever been found and no vote by the people of Texas for Annexation was ever held.

Third, Right to secede (from Texas Annexation)

Neither the ordinance of annexation nor the joint resolution included provisions giving Texas the right to secede.[15] In its decision in Texas v. White in 1869, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Texas' secession in 1861 had been illegal. The Court held that "[t]he Constitution, in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union, composed of indestructible States." The court did allow that divisibility might be possible "through revolution, or through consent of the States."[16].

Fourth, the only treaty in 1848 involving any of the states mentioned is the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which fully ended the Mexican-American War.

The only other treaties created in 1848 are 3 treaties with Native American tribes: the 1848 Treaty with the Pawnee, the 1848 Treaty with the Menominee and the 1848 Treaty with the Stockbridge Tribe.

So given these facts, there is really only one correct answer: These treaties do not exist.

Wow...

After reading this thread I can not help but to feel the current administration is the great divider!

I used to think it was just race, but hell Gerry and PowerStroker are going back to the Civil War's North vs. South!! After reading these two responses I seriously doubt America could afford another 4 more under Obama.

It's only July... By October election buzz should be in full swing. I expect we should see some good commercials. I don't know WTF is the problem with the GOP/Republican - PAC's advertisements "white glove" approach to handling Obama in TV ads but they need to take off the gloves and fight fire with fire. Romney had a good advertisement team when he ran last time. His ads were funny, colorful and had a great punch. Many of them now are just downright depressing, but that's only because many of the Republican ads are disturbingly true. I think they need to swing it into a "Making fun of Obama" so at least we can laugh a little.
