OK, Something Different...

Picked up this train of thought in several articles that are winding their way through the blogospere:

****************************************************************
In case things get a little tougher during the next few months, folks In LOUISIANA, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA & ARKANSAS have options.

Maybe you don't know it, but LOUISIANA, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA & ARKANSAS have a legal right to secede from the Union. (Reference the Texas/Louisiana-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)

Here is what could happen:

If Barack Hussein Obama succeeds in creating his dream of a socialist nation, then TEXAS, LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS and OKLAHOMA could announce that they are pulling out and creating their own Republic. All legally, of course.

What would this new Republic have to ensure its survival?

1. It refines over 90% of the gasoline in the United States.

2. The four states have 65% of the defense industry.

3. Oil - It can supply all the oil that it will need for the next 300 years.

4. Natural Gas - again, it will have all it needs for centuries.

5. Computer Industry - The new republic would a leader in producing computer chips and communications equipment - companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Nortel, Alcatel, etc., all exist within this new Republic. The list goes on and on.

6. Medical Care - Some of the finest research centers for cancer research, burn centers and the top trauma units in the world would be located in the new Republic.

7. The new Republic would be totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables. And let's not forget seafood from the Gulf.

8. Five of the ten largest cities in the United States and thirty two of the 100 largest cities in the United States would be located in this new Republic, and it would have have more land than California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island and Vermont combined.

9 Trade: Five of the ten largest ports in the United States would be located in this new Republic.

10.In case of a foreign invasion, the new Republic would have the combined National Guard and Air National Guard of the four States, plus a bunch of existing military bases. Additionally, they could easily raise a huge army of armed civilians in twenty-four hours, since it already exists.

Now to the rest of the folks wanting to live in a United States under President-For-Life Obama:

Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes. Or you could buy gas from Iran and Venezuela for twenty dollars a gallon.

You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Al Gore has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.

One thing for certain: If Obama, along with his Communist, Marxist and Socialist buddies like Bill Ayers, Ron Bloom, Paul Volcker, Carol Browner, Van Jones, Cass R. Sunstein, John Holdren and many other big names in the American Marxist movement... Do actually succeed in replacing the Constitution with their personal version of government, things will start happening across the country that will make the Watts riots look positively mild.

Wow. That's a real mouthful of what ifs and could be's... Let's hope things aren't that bad. But you need to know that it's out there... Gathering steam.
