Why do so many conservatives support secession?

[idb]

I'm super-conservative but i don't get it. If Texas secedes and china decides to invade the state, who is gonna stop them?

You could join NATO.

 

[Afterword]

Loss of U.S. Rights
When you renounce citizenship, you lose the right to live and work in the U.S.

You will not be able to vote in U.S. elections.

You will not be entitled to the protection of the United States overseas.

You will no longer be able to enter the U.S. and remain indefinitely.

Any children you have who are born after your renunciation will not receive U.S. citizenship from you (although they may receive U.S. citizenship from the other parent, from birth on U.S. soil, from naturalization later in life, etc).

Renunciation of U.S. citizenship is final and irrevocable. You lose citizenship for the rest of your lifetime.

There are no temporary renunciations or options to re-acquire U.S. citizenship. In contrast, a British citizen is allowed to renounce his citizenship in order to acquire another nationality, and then later reapply for and “resume” his British citizenship at a future date. In the U.S., there is no such provision. Once you renounce, you can never resume your citizenship.

Its a pretty natural extension of conservative 'small government' hypocrisy.

They won't want small government. They want small *federal* government. One that doesn't interfere with whatever way they want to fuck with their own citizens. Because conservatives love enormous, intrusive, and draconian government......as long as it is the State.

Wanting the State to be its own country is just one step from that.

Conservatives want to secede because liberals have destroyed American and are dragging us down into a third-world shit-hole much like Cuba.

Let them. And when the idiots all whine and cry because conservatives can't govern worth a shit -- every liberal will just laugh in their stupid faces.

Texas would rot without being able to suck off the federal teet. Is there a big city in Texas that's NOT attached to a giant military base?

So Timmy,do you ever tire of showing your stupidity on this board?
Texas has the 14 largest economy in the world.

You didnt answer my question . Is there a big text city that doesn't leech off a big military base?

I wouldnt know anything about text cities Timmy.

 

[Wyatt earp]

I wish Texas would secede, I would move there.

We kick out all the illegal Mexicans and it would be a perfect country.

Naivete level is mindblowing here.

Nah wishful thinking

I don't get it either, what possible reason could China have to invade a country full of delusional Trump groupies?

China would invade a state easier to take over, like California......

Yeah....it's so hard to govern liberty.

You mean conservatives actually want to adhere to the U.S. Constitution? Gasp!!!! Oh the humanity... The horrors!!!

 

[Conservative65]

It seemed to work for us well enough in 1776.

Texas was a state in 1776?

No, but those the seceded fought what was at that time a very powerful force that few, including many that fought to secede, thought they could beat.

And so the those giant military bases would simply shift from the federal government to the Texas government. If the seceded - they would still need a military.

And every Texan who's paid into Medicare and Social Security would lose their benefits.

Let texas patrol the mex border wh out fed funds . But hey , they have oil! That's a good biz right now ! Lol!

Place would be Venezuela in a couple months .

What border?

The Constitution established a small FEDERAL government. That's why Conservatives support the Constitution and Liberals don't. If a State chooses to do something for which the federal government has no delegated authority, the State can do that according to the CONSTITUTION.

You're a deeply stupid man. And it shows.

Lol what a load of bullshit.

You right wing nutters just can't stand that Supreme Court, the interpreters of Constitution, the referees on what Constitution means and allows, says that you self-proclaimed Constitution lovers are off your fucking rocker.

That insidious, pervasive liberal bias of reality must be rough for you to deal with.

Just to tally up:

Supreme Court rejects your Constitutional arguments.
Economists reject your economic arguments.
Scientists reject your evolution and global warming arguments.

In short - you fellas are naturally born rejects.

Texas has a somewhat unique history of secession.

Texas seceded from Mexico not long after Mexico abolished slavery.

Texas seceded from the Union went it became clear that slavery might be abolished.

...lol, see a pattern there?

Reality? When you have to find words in something that simply don't exist, that's not reality.

I understand why you think certain things should be there. You aren't capable of doing for yourself and have to support the government mandating it so someone else can be forced to do it for you.

Oh, one of those that thinks the Civil War was fought totally about slavery. You're a moron.

If it was about slavery then why do so many descendants of those that were freed choose to enslave themselves to the Democrats now?

 

[AntonToo]

Yes really.

Does a right to a fair trial exist?

Of course it does, but you go find words of that exact meaning in Constitution.

 

[AntonToo]

It was fought over succession over slavery.
