Yesterday I listed among my Friday finds an interview at the Gateway Pundit with Texas State Representative Kyle Biedermann about the Texit Bill<\/a> that he will introduce into the Texas legislature to begin the process of determining if the citizens of Texas want to leave the United States and reassert their sovereignty as the Republic of Texas.<\/p>\n

During the interview Representative Biedermann mentioned that there are other states that are also interested in pursuing the idea of becoming independent of Washington.\u00a0 So, I went to the Texit website<\/a> to see what else I could find out.\u00a0 There was quite bit of information on the Texit project but no other information on any other states looking into independence.\u00a0 But just knowing that something was going on to finally push back against the Left was like getting a shot of pure oxygen after breathing stale air for a week.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said many times before, I am tethered to the area by the grandchildren living here and Camera Girl would fight me like a tiger if I tried to move her away from them.\u00a0 But a day will come when moving will be possible and if Texas does this great thing, I feel sure I would go there.\u00a0 And I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if others of my family joined me.\u00a0 There has been talk already of fleeing the Northeast for freer areas but even red states are currently under the thumb of the federal government.<\/p>\n

The idea of Texas gaining independence is thrilling enough but imagine if a number of contiguous states join them in some sort of loose confederation.\u00a0 I feel drunk just thinking of it.\u00a0 Imagine escaping from the Leftists once and for all.\u00a0 Never again having to be called racists during another election.\u00a0 Never having to live under laws that force you to lose the rights of a free man to property, religion, speech free association and self-defense.<\/p>\n

I was trying to think what would be the greatest pleasure that I would get from states gaining their freedom and I think it would be never having to have idiots like Barack Obama or Joe Biden spoken of as the leader of my nation.\u00a0 I would never have to listen to Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer make a speech unless doing it for laughs.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t be surrounded by fools who would let the federal government lock us in our homes and force us to wear masks for no reason.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t have a government that would allow lunatics to hijack the cities and burn down honest people\u2019s shops to protest the death of some criminal.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t have to live in a place where the news stations tell me that I\u2019m a racist and a science denier because I don\u2019t believe in white privilege and I don\u2019t think that a man wearing a dress is a woman.\u00a0 Well, I guess that\u2019s more than one thing but I think all those things are linked together.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just say that the greatest thing about living in a real Free America would be living in a place that wasn\u2019t completely crazy by design.<\/p>\n

As you can probably tell I\u2019m pretty excited to hear about this movement in Texas and now I\u2019m almost a little down knowing there\u2019s not much I can do about it currently.\u00a0 But what I will do is keep up with the information that becomes available and update the folks here on the site when something occurs.<\/p>\n

I spent a few months down in Texas on an engineering assignment twenty-five years ago and those folks down there were so friendly that I was dumbfounded by it.\u00a0 And the same thing happened every time I was in a red state.\u00a0 It\u2019s just wrong to allow good people to be badgered and tormented by sick demented weirdos just because they\u2019ve rigged the system against us.\u00a0 Here\u2019s to hoping Texas makes it happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
