What Should the Texas Secessionists New Motto Be: "These Colors Run" or "We Hate America"?


Kos has a great post up just now with some interesting ponderables for the Texas Wingnut Party:

So we now know that half of Texas' Republicans want to secede from the United States. So I have some questions for that crowd:

  • Are you flying an American flag? Because you don't get to do that when you cry and take your ball home.

  • Do you have a bumper sticker that says, "These colors don't run"? Because it sure looks like you're running.

  • Do you still pretend that your party is the "Party of Lincoln"? If so, what part of Lincoln exactly, would that be?

  • Since you've spent the last eight years saying "America, love it or leave it", is that an admission that you don't love America? Because we liberals? We loved it and stayed, even when your idiot of a president was trashing the place.

  • Was your patriotism (My country, right or wrong) so skin-deep, that it depended 100 percent on the guy in the White House?

  • That $200 billion Texas got in defense contracts between 2000 and 2007? No more of that. No more Ft. Hood. No more NASA. No more federal largesse. You okay with that?

  • You do realize that the Cowboys will no longer be "America's Team", right? Though they'd dominate the two-team Texas Football League (TFL).

Ha! Maybe the TFL will eventually get good enough that they can compete in the World Cup?

Maybe their new motto should be "America, We Don't Love It, So We're Leaving."
