Hey Governor Perry if you want Texas to secede...

[Miss Mia]

Where do the DUmmies get the idea of secession?  Not one of the states have said anything about that, and Texas isn't the only state wanting to hold the federal government to obeying the Constitution. 

Because people cannot read a stupid article.  I've heard Perry's speech various times today on the radio and he wasn't calling for secession.

Hi,

What folks are missing is that some 25 states have reaffirmed their soverignty since the inaguaration.  I posted a thread about a month ago on the subject.  They are merely resolutions but BO is not getting the message.

I heard an interview with Ted Nugent today and it was great, he is going to be at the Alamo tomorrow.  He said the governor of Texas was the only one to have the balls to say, "I believe a concealed weapons permit is just that, it is permission to carry a weapon on your person."  The implication was if you were qualified and were issued one there should be no restrictions, you have a right to defend yourself if necessary.

When I heard the interview with the state senator in New Hampshire who pushed for the resolution there he was asked for examples of where the federal government was tromping on state soverignty.  His first response was the federal government has no right to take away our citizens rights to defend themselves.

Secession, not just yet.  Does not mean it won't come to that, and when it does it will be several states in a block right along with TX.

And the only "army" the feds will have to try to stop it is ACORN.

Go ahead, play that game secede from the US of A and give up all the benefits of being a part of this great country. Buh bye.

Wow. This great country? Not long ago the DUmmies considered the USA to be the scourge of the earth. As the DUmmie viewpoint is usually the complete opposite of reality this concerns me. If the DUmmies now think the country is "great" we must really be in the shitter.

And it's also why you see the state of Texas stenciled on combat vehicles:


And not some east coast state.

Hey Tx, ever noticed Marcus Luttrell's uniform? I think SEALs can pretty much dress the way they want.

Check this out (4th one from the left):

To those that don't know, he wears both flags.

Hi,

Now that was funny but you may be right.  If BO thinks Lincoln had a hard time selling the north in 1860, the blue wimpies want to apologize to everyone for everything and avoid any conflict.  Maybe he can re-institute the draft so it becomes Canada's problem. 

For what it is worth, the blacks are discouraging their young men from joining the military these days also.  If the call went out for all ACORN soldiers to show up armed and ready to fight, might nobody show up there either.  Then again BO could tell them that they won't get any more free government money if they don't fight and they would be in a heck of a fix.

I didn't mean it to be funny.  I think it's the truth.

I've got to get ahold of a couple of my buddies in the TxARNG and get them to send me a couple of those before I head out again.

We had Texas flags before we left Hood. Wore them all the time. There is a company that makes them, do a google for Texas ACU patches and you should find them.

When you are in country you can get away with alot of shit that normally would have the CSM stroke'n out. Of course, once back on a FOB, the FOBbets get to telling you what to wear...

Yeah we'll see how far that goes.

Texas is a net creditor to the US government. Texas has a  surplus in it's budget, but more importantly, municipal bond holders can say buh-bye to Texas muni bonds because Texas Munis are very attractive to those people in the Northeast for tax purposes.

Personally, IF Texas left the Union, I could easily see the following states following

Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina,Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alaska, Missouri, Arkansas, Ohio,and Arizona............half the Union

War story;

A bit of background so you understand the context: last time over I was a Advisor to the Iraqi Army. This was before the MiTT shit got started, we were the first Advisor team to deploy to Iraq. We lived on an Iraqi Military base, beside the US base at Taji. We did not have a mess hall, or showers, or a roof over our heads until we built them. BUT- that, as they say, is another story.

There we were...( no shit)... just coming off a three day patrol north of Taji and along Route Tampa- no hot food, no showers, no Star Trek movies, nuthin but hand grenade pins, and spend brass...We pull into Taji and roll up the the south mess hall. Leaving a guard on the vehicles and crew serves we head into get a bit to eat. (we always tried to end a mission on or about chow time...hey- an Army travels on it's tummy tumm-tumm, dammit!)

Needless to say we are a tad dusty. Walking in we wash out hands, and faces, and heads, in the sinks and prepare to walk in. All of a sudden, this Sergeant Major steps up and tells me I can not enter the mess hall in dirty uniforms.

Being the polite and political correct officer that I am, I answer, "You know what, Sarn't?, My guys just came in after three days getting shot at and blow'ed up, and we are gonna get a hot meal- the first American food we've had in a week. You can get out of the way or I am going to have SSG All*** (name removed in case this ever gets to trail) shoot. you."

Now, as fat Sergeant Majors sometimes get, he raised up all mightily on me. "Sir," he said, "You can not talk to me in that way."

I turned to SSG All*** and said, "Shoot him."

All***'s M9 started to clear the holster as the fat FOBbett took off. We went in and partook to snarfing down cheeseburgers. A few minutes later, the DEFAC manager (a civilian dude who've we come to know over the last ten months) came over. "Are we in serious trouble?" says I. "I'm sorry," says he, "SGM ********* is new in country and doesn't know you guys."

I heard later the SGM complained to Base command to the G3 told him he was lucky we didn't shoot him.

FOBbets. Never forget that there are those people in the military who's entire career consists of sitting around telling other people how they should fight- but never really fight themselves.

I'm not sure which one is the South Chow Hall on Taji, but I've been to all three.  The one closer to Castle Gate had good burgers one night a week. 

I got a request to do some training for a unit at FOB Sadr City while I was there, relieving another guy who went on leave.  I volunteered to ride a convoy down, but base command shot that idea down.  The unit had to send people to me for training.

I absolutely DETEST (I'm being polite) FOBets.

I spent a lot of time at Taji...BEFORE it became all nice.  I've been over to the adjacent IA base when we were training them.

We held the place after 4th ID DIVARTY left and before 39th Inf. Bde. could find their way there from Arkansas.

Found a minefield at the IIRC north end of the airfield that no one in 4th ID had managed to find in the 8 months they were there.

I miss being dusty and dirty and being smelling like three days of patrol.  And remembering places like Taji when you tell your stories only makes me want to get back out to the field that much more.
