While Rick Perry as Governor of Texas, taking part in the Tea Bag tax protests and in expressing an ultra conservative viewpoint, might have alluded to Texas one day becoming so pissed off that the state might want to secede from the Union in general protest...
...Let the record show that it was LIBERAL Vermont that went so far as to draft up an official manifesto to actually DO IT and who actually TRIED to put secession up to state vote during the Bush years. Not to mention, back before the current economic recession hit and back when times were better, it was LIBERAL California that once had a strong grassroots movement that likewise advocated doing the same.
So, no offense, but it's hardly "only Conservatives" that have become so disgruntled with the opposing side that they would threaten to break up the nation. Just saying' that political door actually swings both ways...
