After the crisis has passed and normalcy is restored, let's kick Texas out of the USA

[Concerned American]

You aren't going to fund a military with red states. You will go bankrupt quickly....

That's your opinion.

There's only one way to find out.

Let's test your theory.

You'd be crippled with the first snow storm. You better learn spanish for when mexico takes you over.

Didn't they give you your English-Spanish dictionary when you voted for China Joe? He just opened the border--he didn't have enough kids in Obama's cages.

If people recall, a lot of elected representatives from Texas balked at paying for natural disasters in CA (wildfires) and NY (Hurricane Sandy in 2012). While the disasters were predictable (in a historical sense, only), they certainly were not preventable. However, the Texas debacle of frozen power grids, an independent power grid unable to tap power from surrounding states, a virtual statewide loss of power, frozen and burst water pipes, a lack of drinking water and food, were all preventable if those conservative cheapskate Texas officials had actually planned ahead and spent the necessary money over time to weatherize their infrastructure. But no! They don't like gov't, and they don't like to plan ahead. However, what they DO want is for the rest of the US to bail them out. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of them.

Now, unlike Ted Cruz, I care about human suffering (aside from himself and his family only). So, here's what I propose. Let's help Texas and Texans get back on their feet. Afterward, considering that they've been talking about seceding anyway, let's just give them the heave ho. As Fleetwood Mack once intoned, let them go their own way (and pay their own way).

Here's a helpful hint, Texas... You better start planning ahead! I know what I'm talking about because I live in a well-run Democratic state, and most of the people here are grateful to have competent governance that foresees problems before they arise and tackles them before they become crises on our doorsteps.

excellent and many states would follow fuck you leftists die at your own failures

Good grief

You've got the grief part right. There sure is one hell of a lot of it. I can't even imagine what Texans are going through trying to keep their kids warm only to later worry about having drinking water and no readily apparent place to find it. And even as all of this is going on, they have to worry about their aging parents who live alone. As much as I hate to say it, I suspect that a lot of older Texans will later be found dead in their homes.

You are jaded. You live in the most prosperous, most freedom-loving nation in the world where even the most poverty-stricken would be considered rich by any third world nation and you have the temerity to whine about a hundred year event that lasted for A WEEK. Social Justice Warriors. SMH.

I'm not whining about the "event" as you do indelicately describe it as if it was little more than some kind of minor fender bender on a residential street intersection. It's a state-wide screw up by people who are entrusted to plan for "events" like this which are entirely foreseeable.

Common sense is new to you, I see. Next time you find yourself in Houston or Corpus Christi, tell me how necessary you believe it is to prepare for a relatively minor weather event.

I've been to Corpus Christie. I loved Padre Island and the Inlet water way. It's like glass on the surface and very beautiful. But even a minor cold front is a big deal in a city not accustomed to such weather. That's no reason not to own a real coat as opposed to a light jacket. Certainly, if an individual can plan for a cold day, the gov't can prepare a city or a state for such an event.

It's a shame you have lost your mind. Ah well.

Always the leftist debate is reduced to name calling.

Oh well.

Texas isn't going to be kicked out of the Union..

Good gawd, put your willie back in your panties and grab a clue

We can swap them with Puerto Rico and give Texas back to Mexico where they belong

We could even call Puerto Rico the Lone Star State
Nobody would notice the difference

dumbassery at it's best you don't have a say over texas dumbass you don't own it so you're not giving it to anyone how about we just hand you over to Mexico? You need to go you son of a bitch

How did New York not see this coming? Why weren't they prepared?

Deaths of 4 New Yorkers Are Attributed to the Heat (Published 2001)

You aren't really offering a real debate. Your just moping and saying you want to split the country. You realize most all the states are like 50/50 and that's not a real options right? Do you also realize your state is big on the 65+ crowd? Its hard for me to take the split up crowd seriously.

Are the Dimwingers who run Chicago not aware of Summer?

Why didn't they do something to prevent this?

A heat wave in Chicago 24 years ago left more than 700 dead. The mayor says they've learned lessons since then - CNN

A Chicago heat wave in 1995 took the lives of hundreds of people. And now the city is facing another.

Why stop with Texas? Kick out all the blue states. Some population transfers and let's just write off America as a failed experiment.


Teh blue states can call them selves New America or Greater Texas, and build a small government representative republic like we used to be,


and the red states can... do whatever you want. And live with the consequences.

Good grief

You've got the grief part right. There sure is one hell of a lot of it. I can't even imagine what Texans are going through trying to keep their kids warm only to later worry about having drinking water and no readily apparent place to find it. And even as all of this is going on, they have to worry about their aging parents who live alone. As much as I hate to say it, I suspect that a lot of older Texans will later be found dead in their homes.

If they can plan for a coat in the tropics, they don't need to prepare for an Alaska winter. The government is never going to take care of every unforseen weather event. Buck up and practice a little self-sufficiency.

I feel sorry for millions of Texans who are enduring this completely unnecessary privation and suffering. However, if they reelect this conservative gang of fools to continue to govern their state, they're dumber than a bag of hammers.

After all, why do we elect representatives in the first place? We elect them to watch out for OUR best interests. And what's more important than the safety and welfare of the citizenry who elected them in the first place? Got an answer for that?

Progs look for any thing in Red areas to turn into a drama play. Its like finding excuses for all the money they spend on their own and still have issues because they sabotage themselves through radicals and stupid agendas. So looking at someone else reduces the pain of their own actions.

 

[Missourian]

I'm not trying to split the country. Anyone who served and wants to split the country sure fell far.

You're making my point...if you've lost me, imagine how many others are no longer with you.

The country I served no longer exists.

Perhaps the next one will again uphold the ideals I would give my life to defend.
