We don’t know how we missed this earlier, but it definitely needs commenting. From Worldnet Daily columnist Chuck Norris:
On Glenn Beck’s radio show last week, I quipped in response to our wayward federal government, “I may run for president of Texas.”
That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.
We don’t know why Chuck Norris would need to run for President of Texas. Wouldn’t he just say, “I’m President of Texas,” and make it so?
If he does become President of Texas, we just hope President Chuck will change his new country’s immigration policies. No more Texans in Colorado, thank you very much.

…there was an amazingly erudite back-n-forth about this in an open thread yesterday or Wednesday. There were pictures and videos….and you were there and you were there …..and you…
or something, put out a commercial the next day with two guys in a bar arguing about who killed whom in some Norris/Lee flick. Scared the hell out of me. Jam Jam, they’re watching.
quite some time we should give Texas back their independence…especially if we could work out a trade of Colorado Springs for Austin…. I’d even throw in Mississippi, and Alabama.
Now that’s just not fair.
…We’ll throw in Mesa County too. 🙂
they just want to bitch & moan
ask them….force them!
I read this article on CNN’s political ticker earlier this week but never got around to posting.
There were two sentences I found quite profound. The prior paragraph makes the case for Texas having the right to secede from the Union. “Anyone who has been around Texas for any length of time knows exactly what we’d do if the going got rough in America. Let there be no doubt about that.”
So let me get this straight. If the going gets rough in America, Republicans would rather walk away from the nation they supposedly love instead of helping solve the issues and challenges facing us? WTF? Seriously. WTF?
And prior to this he quotes John Adams as saying, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.” and goes into America’s Christian religious history. This whole article reeks of classic Republican thinking and xenophobia. If you’re not a white Christian that thinks like we think, get the hell out because there’s no place for you in our nation.
I’m a white Christian who happens to be gay. But hello… “liberty and justice for all.” There’s no “except Muslims”, “except black people”, or “except gays” in there. What I want is one nation for all of us and until Republicans are ready to accept that, I promise you I won’t just be voting for the Democrats. I’ll be devoting my time fighting for them in every single election.
Republicans are willing to leave if things don’t go there way.
Remember the Republican nominee for Vice President’s Husband and his involvement in the Alaskan Independence Party?
Many of them have no loyalty to country….they have a loyalty to ideology and often times that ideology runs contrary to the ideals upon which this country was founded.
When the other side made similar accusations of disloyalty, it was unAmerican and the height of fascist evil.
Yet now, apparently, its okay.
I’m a little surprised. If its okay for the United States of (enlightened) America to joke about seceding from “Jesusland,” why is this different?
Have been whining every election that they would move to France or Canada or wherever if the Republican wins? And I seem to remember a large increase in requests for information on immigration to Canada after the ’04 election. Loyalty of ideology over country is hardly confined to the right side of the debate.
Maybe people used to say France a long time ago, but I haven’t heard it recently. I myself was close to moving to Canada in 2004 though, but ended up moving to the People’s Republic instead.
Lefties tend to want to leave the country if things go sour, while righties tend to want to secede from the country, which is somewhat different. Though you’re right, there are such tendencies on both sides.
Barbara Streisand, Alec Baldwin, and some others I can’t remember had said that if Bush won in ’04 they would move to France. (Johnny Depp actually did, but that was before 2004).
Johnny Depp’s wife is French actress (not sure if they are still married), and as recently as 2006 he owned a home in Evergreen.
And most of those who said they’d move to Canada or France weren’t being serious, as Chuck Norris seemed to be.
them “un-American”, wrote books like “Shut Up and Sing” and our candidates distanced themselves from those stars (did you see Johnny Depp or Alec Baldwin on any campaign swings with Kerry, Obama or Clinton?).
Buy your side not only takes your secessionist elements on campaign swings with your candidates, you nominate their spouses for Vice President…..
I’d say that is a quite different approach.
This is the “country first” crowd.
“Liberty and justice for all?” I sincerely wish. Maybe then we could be the enlightened, moral, civil society we’ve always portrayed ourselves to be.
Your indictment of the ignorance and hate of these “patriots” is spot on. Thank you.

Perfect.
Of course that’s how he’d do it.
And then we- the Union- would have to get the Governator of California and come down there and kick his ass. We did it before- we have maps and everything.
It’s been nice knowing you. I would say you should take that back, but it’s too late. Sooner or later, when you least expect it…
BLAM!
Roundhouse kick.
My condolences.
They even issue passports.
