Secession fantasies

Posted on April 18, 2009 | Comments Off on Secession fantasies

The usual media idiots and their sycophant pols are frothing over Gov. Perry’s secession talk. But it makes a certain sense, from a fantasy perspective. They forget (but some of us don’t) that we have a lot of nuclear weapons sitting in white, concrete igloos a few miles north of Amarillo. A little forethought, this time, and we could make sure the feds didn’t try to blockade and invade again. If nothing else, we could threaten to sell the nukes on e-bay.

    That would certainly be a bargaining point, all Fl. seems to want is bailout money, more tourists and less agriculture.Course we do have McDill, etc.

    Aside from the fantasy, Texas is no different. Gov. Perry took the $17 billion on offer, after all.

    Just as an exercise – it is interesting whether Texas on its own will be self-sufficient in case Feds decide to blockade it like Cuba.

    Probably not, in that case. Not a lot of grain grown here, for instance. The gasoline would hold out for a while. Maybe long enough to get local crude to the refineries. The blockade would hurt gasoline users across the rest of the country, though, since we have many, if not most, of the refineries.
