A Modest Proposal for Protecting America from the Texas Secessionists

.
Now that George W Bush has spent the last eight years destroying the American economy, and thus everything from healthcare to infrastructure...

Now that Texas Governor Rick Perry has threatened secession from the United States....

Now that former Congressman and Republican House Majority Leader and K Street Project hammer Tom Delay has told Chris Matthews on Hardball that he supports Perry in his threats against America for Texas sovereignty....

Seems to me we need preemptive action to protect America from further destruction at the hands of the Texans. Freeze their ass...ets, lock up the military bases like the ring around San Antonio, establish checkpoints at their borders.

Yep. Time to protect America from the anti-American Texans who have held a hammerlock on America until we elected President Barack Obama.

Swift action is called for.

If Texas Secedes....

* Can the Bakken Oil Field in the Dakotas and Montana and Wyoming keep the oil revenue instead of sending it to Texas?
* Can we give Texas the joy of protecting the likes of Bush senior and junior? After all, they won't be 'murricans any more.
* Can we let Texas have the fun—and expense—of building that damned gate for Dubya?
* Can we cut the Rangers and the Oilers and all other sport teams of Texas out of any national championships anywhere, anytime?
* Can they please take back Delay and Armey and Chee-knee and Kay Bailey and all of the rest of the Texans who've done their level best to destroy America the last eight years...including the ones who showed up for the Bushie picnic and strategerizing about the liberry meeting...and keep 'em?
* Can we take back our border patrol and our airbases and our astronauts and our tourism dollars and our hurricane relief and....

Your thoughts?
