TEXAS AND THE CIVIL WAR

[williamlayton]

This is bigger than guns.
We have a nation where in most years 60% don't vote. In the best of years 40% don't vote.
You preach too the choir.
If you have not noticed---Americans don't care.
If you don't know that we have had a revolution--and we lost.
Lost because of apathy. Lost because of not careing.
The basis of this conversation is not about that however.
If Texas wants too secede it must do so by force and it must win.
My premis is that, no, we will not have a multitude of followers and we do not have the force of arms too win.
I don't disagree with much that you say.
Now we have the right too vote and we can take back what has been lost by the vote---if we care enough.
Like the 40/60% say--who cares.
Blessings

Will i do agree with you ,your post is a definite reality and one of many possibility's.
The one thing is we do know Texas was being prodded to do this by some of the more radical States .
And that She and Alaska were being offered some very powerful aid from abroad.
Election night after Obama won ,or  stole , we who live on the Border of Texas saw some very angry people ready to do something.
CB radios were packed with people calling for a war or a Boycott .
The aid was the reason i knew she was not going to be ignored or attacked ,the State is just to valuable to do eiather with.
Texas is the Gateway to the heartland , operational Refinery's , Oil pipelines , Centers of commerce.
To destroy her is foolish unless you had to take her out in order to hamper your Enemy.
But the Aid had that covered and it simply wasn't going to happen without the gulf becomeing a blood bath.
People in Port Arther were sitting on the beach and said they had never seen so many fast moveing Ships out there than the did on the 4th ,and they couldn't tell whose they even were.

Would you consider this aid too amount to slavery by the lender?
My propsition, in several arguements around here, is that Aid from a stronger government would give THIS government standing too direct those too weak too resist and allow control too the point of subserviance.
We see this in our foreign policy with others, why would it not be so with a weaker Nation such as Alaska or Texas who was in need?
