“One of the things I’ve focused on in the last 10 years of my public sector life is preparing Texas to be a prosperous and safe place to work, regardless of what happens outside our borders,” he said.
“We are uniquely situated because we have energy resources, fossil and otherwise, and our own independent electrical grid. Generally speaking, we have made great progress in becoming an independent nation, an ‘island nation’ if you will, and I think we want to continue down that path so that if the rest of the country falls apart, Texas can operate as a stand-alone entity with energy, food, water and roads as if we were a closed-loop system.”

I recall something about Texas facing drought due to water being used in fracking.
Although Texas does give more in taxes then gets in federal aidHow well do you think they'll be able to continue without NASA, military, and oil subsidies funding some of their larger industries?
the only red state
Oh yes, if I remember correctly, the constitution of the Texas state, a long-winded clusterfuck that rivals Atlas Shrugged, stated that if Texas didn't wanted to be a state anymore, it could split into seven new states, but not a new nation. Though take this with a pinch of salt.And if Texas splits into seven, can I move to the state housing Austin, home and new stronghold to all the "Liberal commie pinko fags" that was of Texas?

Don't cross out that last part man, that would solve the issue of where Progressive Texans go.
I think we should ship all the nation's worst Wingnuts, both average schmoes & politicians, to Texas & have them secede. Then, the USA won't have that big load holding Progress back! They'll eventually see how their Jeebusland works out, THE HARD WAY.
Meanwhile, the USA will move into the 21st Century, embrace the Progressive ideals it professes & becomes the free-wheeling Scandinavia of the New World!
