Texas governor claims sovereignty from “oppressive” U.S. government

I'd like to know why these jackasses were silent when our government started an unprovoked war in Iraq, tortured people, illegally wiretapped citizens, suspended habeus corpus, etc. Please enlighten me, Gov. Perry. What, exactly, is the government doing that is oppressive?



Not surprisingly, Glenn Beck agrees:

You can’t convince me that the Founding Fathers wouldn’t allow you to secede.

The Constitution is not a suicide pact, and if a state says: ‘I don’t want to go there, because that’s suicide, they have a right to back out. They have a right — people have a right to not commit economic suicide...

...Texas says go to hell, Washington, which by the way has been said before. I believe it was Davey Crocket...it’s about time that somebody says that again."
