Texas secession?

[frenchie88]

They're called Baltimorons.

I'm not actually from Baltimore and my love for the city is quickly declining.

Too many hipsters and mindless liberals.

I think Kiyota's store is Baltimore's only redeeming quality.

I saw a fellow commuter during my drive to school this morning that I thought would perfectly illustrate the sort of people with a secessionist mentality here in the Lone Star State. I tried to snag a photo but sadly I wasn't near him during any red lights.

Here's a close approximation of the truck in question:



The back was littered with bumper stickers. Here are the ones I could read:

- I BRAKE FOR BEAVERS (Buc-Ee's ad)
- YOU'RE ALL GOING TO HELL; I'M GOING TO TEXAS
- SECEDE
- something something HEATHENS

I'm disappointed I wasn't able to get photo evidence. However, I'll add that no one in my social circle (mostly moderate-liberal academic weenies like myself) have brought the secession topic up in discussion at all.

Thanks for validating the classic stereotype...of liberal academic weenies.

Oh, so that's how it works? Stand by for pics of the Cutlass Supremes with spinners all of Obama's supporters drive.

Gladly. I will happily admit to being a snob. Stereotypes exist because they contain truth.

Snob? Ok. Actually the liberal academic weenie stereotype I was referring to was their penchant to attack people when they cannot win the battle of ideas.

[Raving&Drooling]

Oh. I did not mean to attack. My post was intended to counter those saying "Texas is full of redneck back-assward retards, let 'em secede if they want." We don't all want to, do we?

Devil: I didn't support Obama. Just saying.

Are you sure you don't have that 100% backwards?

You only succeeded in proving two things. First, there's at least one retard in Texas. Second, even retards can use the internet.

Damn, did I hit a nerve? I'm only pointing out that I haven't seen any sort of discussion or representation of this issue except from a certain group of people. A group I happen to look down upon (perhaps unfairly but whatever) but why pretend not to be biased?
