Texas cessation - what I wrote then is still relevant

By Richard de Orizaba

“American by birth, Texan by the grace of God” How many times have I heard such a quaint and parochial saying? I think that it kind of expresses in a nutshell how many Texans feel.

The people we are talking about are not a majority of Texans. Not by any stretch of the imagination, but they are a vocal bunch. These provincial, mostly uneducated folk think that they and Texas are God’s gift to the world. Their false pride stems from an inferiority complex, not one of superiority. They want to look down on other people from other states. But it is based on their realization that other parts of the country have fared better and they and have done well because of the sophistication and level of education of its citizenry.

We are seeing a struggle building up in which Perry, the present Governor has suggested that if the rest of the country doesn’t do what he wants, or if the Federal Government institutes some changes he doesn’t like, Texas could secede from the Union. And now he wants to be President?

Enter challenger Kay Hutchinson, who is a conservative but more towards the center.
She has served as Senator and has not really had any significant accomplishments. She is challenging the sitting Governor in a run for the Texas Governor nomination.

To make things interesting, Sarah Palin has endorsed Perry, while Ms. Hutchinson has been endorsed by our beloved Mr. Cheney. WHAT THE FUCK?

Being a Texan, I am ashamed of both these candidates, if Mr. Perry wants to secede, I say let’s not discourage him. As a matter of fact, if you love Texas more than you love America, then you are a Texan, not an American and you should have your own country. Instead of going against his wishes, let’s just throw Texas out of the United States and give them their independence.

If I were the President, I would call their bluff. I would say to them, “very well, let’s have a referendum in Texas, all those in favor for breaking up with the United States can go to live in South Texas. We can divide the state in two (it is in their State Constitution) we would even buy up their properties at current, fair market value. Then they could have their own country.

Then, while we are at it, let’s give all those wingnut Teabaggers, redneck discontents and in general the Evangelicals and Mormons a one way bus ticket to San Antonio, the new capital. We don’t want them in the Union as they are destroying our nation anyhow and they are more trouble than they are worth. The Evangelicals can then have a theocracy and the wingnuts their own Constitution since they don’t appreciate the one they now have. Logically, their constitution will be devoid of the FREEDOM OF FREE SPEECH, NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE AND A MANDATE TO OWN AND CARRY FIREARMS.

We will erect a very high wall along all the southern border of North Texas and prevent any South Texan from entering the United States without a visa. We will treat these worse than they have treated Mexicans and we will have a law that no “Tea Bagger” can enter the United States, because they are worse than Communists and we have a ban on them entering.

Once a separate nation, South Texas can then have their own army, navy, border patrol, Fema, and all the government agencies they so vociferously reject and they can do all this without paying taxes. They will not have Social Security or Medicare/Medicaid just as is their wish and for the next twenty years, the United States will make it a law that no Federal dollars can be given to South Texas even for disaster relief.

As for myself, I will close Cavalier Hall and suspend any business activities in Texas, I will do what my grandfather did during prohibition, I will just take my business south into exile in Mexico where I am welcomed as a Tex-Mex and not discriminated because I am not a WASPH (White Anglo Saxon, Protestant, Heterosexual). Even in corrupt, third world Mexico I don't have to be chased by law authorities who will say: "papers please".

More details on the Texas cessation

Texas cessation y’all

I failed to elaborate on the cessation of Texas details in my earlier entry to my blog. Here are more for you:

English will be the official language, if you can call the crap they speak English, y’all. Citizenship in the South Texas Republic will depend on your ability to speak English with a Texas drawl. If you don’t have it, you will be granted only second class citizenship and that means you can’t vote or own property.

Owning property in The Republic of South Texas is a privilege. Only those who are rich enough and conservative enough can own property. Corporations are excluded of course, but the CEOs have to be certified shit kickers, preferably graduates of the only Texas Ivy League (Texas A&M) and also a prerequisite to run for office.

The currency will not be the dollar. It is too unstable for them. Their new currency will be called “The Ele” and will have an elephant with a large erection on one side and a portrait of George W. Bush on the other. The $5, $10, $20 and $100 will be represented by: Ross Perot, David Koresh, Tim McVey, Rush Limbaugh and last but not least, in their $1,000 bill they will have a picture of Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of Conservatives.

I am just getting excited about all these possibilities. Here are a few more that might sit well with the South Texans: No persons with dark skin will be allowed to live in the Republic. There will be a litmus test and a certifiable color palette swash that will be distributed to all voting districts and the skins of the prospective voters will be matched against the color samples and they better come up either just as white as or whiter than what is in the swashes. People will be warned against getting exposed to the sun prior to the litmus test.

Of course they can’t have the present Texas flag, because that one will go to North Texas, instead, they can fly the old Confederate Flag which is more to their liking anyhow. They will not be able to retain the eagle as their national designated bird; they will just have to settle for the vulture, a bird more appropriate to their character. The national flower will be the dandelion and they will have to outlaw rock and roll and rap. Dancing is out of the question as are leftist Hollywood movies. Church attendance will be obligatory and you will be required by law to observe tithing.

The South Texas Capitol to be built in San Antonio will have a cupola crowned by a cross. All through the state, biblical passages will be emblazoned in documents and buildings by law.

Homosexuality will be severely punished; the death penalty of course to those who engage in this kind of abomination and it will be carried out summarily by either hangings or firing squads unless they are stoned to death prior to their trial. (it was reported that there were three hanged in Iran just recently)

They can have their own news network, Fox will be asked to move their headquarters to San Antonio and operate from there. Roads and highways will be in private hands, and tolls will be a source of revenue for the country. These will be run by private corporations, preferably Halliburton.

Schools will not be public. Only religious schools will be given licenses to operate. These can only include the Baptists, the Jehovah’s Witness, the Mormons and the Evangelicals, any flavor. Science will not be taught as it is not in keeping with Fundamentalist ideology, only Creationism will be in their curriculum. The school day will commence with a Christian prayer…in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Girls can only attend school up to the third grade. The women will not need an education other than to learn to read and write to do the groceries, read recipes and that sort of thing. The unemployment situation will be a rarity in the Republic of South Texas because women will not be allowed to hold jobs or vote. Their duties are to stay home and breed and raise their little bastards. Of course, marriage within the family is a preferred situation as their blood lines should be kept pure. It is more advisable to marry a cousin than a stranger whose ancestors you don't know. Even step dads or brothers are a more acceptable solution to their white supremacist endeavor.

Dress codes will be strictly enforced. For the females a tunic of pastel or dark colors like brown and black with some sort of head cover and an apron will be the norm. For the men, black trousers and white shirts with a tie the accepted attire. They might even try to take away our traditional boots and cowboy hats...but our boots are hard to fill and hats can only be worn by people with brains.

Dietary laws will be also strictly observed according to the Scriptures. No shell fish or pork will be sold in stores, the Sabbath will be observed by law as everything will close on Friday at midnight and will reopen Monday at 8:00am. (Saturday for the Seventh Day Adventists, Sunday for the rest)

Alcoholic beverages will not be sold except for beer and that will require a license, not to sell it but to buy it.

There will be no Public Health facilities, blood transfusions will be forbidden along with abortion and birth control to satisfy the needs of Jehovah's Witnesses and other Evangelicals

No public emergency rooms in hospitals and those that can’t pay will be thrown out into the adjacent parking lots to die. That is the way of true capitalism. No socialist bullshit in the Republic of South Texas.

All of these, except for the National Bird and the flag, will be legislation that will be enacted on their own; they will be doing it out of their own volition once they become independent.

This sounds like paradise to me, how about you?
