Rick Perry Has An International Ally For His (Possible) Secession Plan: Belarus

[TexasTowelie]

The campaign to have Texas secede from the U.S. has been a long struggle with little to show for it so far beyond helping to torpedo Rick Perry's presidential hopes, and as it turned out Perry was entirely capable of doing that himself without any secessionist torpedoing.

But now -- just as it seems the effort has died -- an important new international ally has stepped forward.

Who is the latest friend of Texas secessionists? The government of Belarus, a country that was formerly part of the Soviet Union and one that is now known mostly for its brutal, dictatorial ways.

Those vicious methods have not stopped Belarussian leaders from recognizing a noble cause when they see it, however. Belarus has jumped firmly on Texas' secessionist bandwagon.

1. Perry is in trouble in Texas. This secession talk may get his butt out of the Texas fires...

.... but it will mean kissing goodbye national aspirations.

2. Is Perry running for governor again?

[TBF]

5. Many Texans think he shouldn't -

but as of last year he said he would.

Julian Castro (the very popular democratic mayor of San Antonio) says he will stay there & not run for governor although I hope he changes his mind.

And George P Bush is putting feelers out ... http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2013/01/george-p-bush-raising-1-3-million-from-family-and-friends-for-statewide-office-in-texas.html/

3. The border would then be called the Perry-Mason line..

or not. Sounded good anyway. So, dipwad, you're gonna secede, and write your own constitution? Here, I'll write it for you:

A well-regulated militia being irrelevant to the security of a free state, the right of the white people to keep and bear arms, including nukes, RPGs, MANPADS, stingers and AA weapons,shall not be infringed.

That was easy.

4. Line one from the estate of Raymond Burrs...

something about using his famous character to impugn Rick Perry.

Wants some sort of reparations for that one...

Tricky.. that lot...
