At least when liberals threatened to leave during the Bush years, we didn't threaten to take any land with us! We also didn't lie about the REAL reason we wanted to leave either, namely Bush himself. These hypocrites say "big government" when they really mean "democrats". Their party lost so now they don't want to follow the rules anymore. Oh, and they want to take some of our property with them as...what...compensation for their pain and suffering? Sorry kids, only welfare queens get something for nothing.
You want your perfect capitalist utopia off the coast of San Fransisco? Great, we'll see you in a month after you figure out your philosophy doesn't work. And get horny for all those women who won't be joining you. If Texas does secede all that would happen is it would fall into a third world country between the libertarians and "social conservatives" killing each other over whose vision is the REAL conservative. The whole conservative "movement" would fall apart without a liberal straw man to fight. These groups have nothing else in common.
