Texas Nationalists declare USA defunct
“Texas will again lift its head and stand among the nations. It ought to do so, for no country upon the globe can compare with it in natural advantages.” – Sam Houston
The man who led Texas to victory in its war of independence from Mexico knew that Texas was special. He knew that Texas was a land of promise, hope and opportunity. He also knew that Texas was a place where freedom could be maintained and preserved for future generations.
Today we find ourselves at a crossroads. Down one path we find the erosion of our freedom, our economy and the very fabric of our society. Down this path we are still tethered to the United States. Down the other path we find the legacy of our forebears. It’s a legacy of freedom, justice, security and hope. It’s a legacy of independence.
We ask you to visit our site and join with us as Sam Houston’s prophetic words are coming to pass. Texas will stand as a nation among nations again. And it’s happening now. Come be a witness to history.
Come witness the rebirth of Texas independence.
Very interesting statement, based on an old post-French Revolution theme: there’s more freedom this way.
As a skeptical observer of politics, I think that terms like “freedom” and “independence” need careful defining, and that the Texas Nationalists should be very careful about offering another version of what people already claim they have.
As things spiral out of control for downward-moving nations, which the USA has been — independent of the current economic crisis — as its population gets more and more divided from consensus, it’s not wise to offer another divisive philosophy.
Freedom, after all, means independence from collectivity, but in bad times, people want functional collectivity instead. It will be interesting to see how the Texas Nationalists target this issue.
