With Texas providing 99% of the nations money and rescources is it time we cut loose with you lot?
Yeah, you can go. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
The movie was only good in its time.

Texas is doing well know, but while its policies carry well today, soon it will backfire, as it always does, and Texas will have its own hard times. Or maybe not so soon. But it will happen. No-one thought it could happen to California ten-twenty years ago, but it did.
Also:
Texas is returning to Mexico?

To add to that, Texas is returning to Democrats, and very soon it will be a blue stronghold. :D
I know, it is difficult to believe, but the trend is quite noticeable, and will continue with greater vigour as more Hispanic immigrants arrive.

Vive le Texas libre!
I took this picture myself last year with a cellphone so the quality is rubbish. It is the Texas embassy in Paris. Still left standing, in eager anticipation for Texas to rise again and once more claim its rightful place under the sun.

There were many smart things Texas has done, chief among them IMO being: when you guys approved annexation by the US, you retained your property rights natively; meaning property of the previous Republic of Texas became property of The State of Texas, NOT of the States, United (US), as the other States had done. This was and is key to your economic and cultural independence and prosperity. Important decision #2 was in NOT subdividing yourself into (up to) 5 separate States - as authorized by your Constitution - instead exerting control over your entire domain via state-wide militias and laws.

O Rly? To paint hispanics with that broad of a brush is making a mistake.
Combine Cathlosism with Texas culture and you have some GOPers. There parents may have been blue but allot of there kids will go red.
Not to mention a hispanic democrat isn't the kind of blue white America is used to.

Fine, I will scan you the Economist articles. They had a special report on Texas BTW.

We can certainly survive without the terrible presidents that routinely come from your state. ;)
But don't take it hard. I hate California more than you guys.
