Can you believe it? Texas Governor Rick Perry wants to secede from the Union. He says that Texas reserved the right to do that when it became a state.
Now that Perry has said this and so many of his friends agree with him, the New York Times has decided they are just a bunch of gerbils. With Perry's current actions, there should be no criticism of Obama's hesitance about wearing a U.S. Flag pin - Perry probably wears a flag pin when he tells everyone Texas should succeed - an interesting message - Perry, a patriotic American who doesn't want to be American.*

*no more criticism about Mexican flags either! After all, Texas was part of Mexico long before it was a Republic.
