Revolutionary Kind
Daniel Miller, the president of the Texas Nationalist Movement, is a proud secessionist. And the tea parties were just the beginning for this true believer.

No one is going to support a bunch of people who go on about "hating the United States" and wanting to feed blood to trees, liberty or otherwise. I don’t think we have to worry while crazies are doing that. Now if someone started a sane, peaceful and plausible movement, I think we would have a reason to worry.

The Supreme Court (after the Civil War) ruled that Texas had remained a state ever since it first joined the Union, despite its joining the Confederacy and its being under military rule at the time of the decision in the case. The court also affirmed that the Constitution did not permit states to secede from the United States, and that the ordinances of secession, and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances, were "absolutely null". The result of ending Texas’ secession attempt was the fact that the Supreme Court actually ended all possible secession by any state.
I find it quite revealing that no talked about seceding until the election of an African-American president. I am glad I decided to leave Texas 40 years ago. Not everyone in Texas is a crazy nut-case, but those who think they can start their own country are exactly that (in my opinion).

Texans pay out significantly more monies to the federal government than we, as a state, receive in federal monies. If we were to pay the state of Texas Income Tax, INSTEAD of Federal withholding, FICA, Medicare, etc... The new Texas government would have more than enough money to do its job.

Ideally, Mr. Miller has proud reason to secede: reality is vastly different. If we Texans refuse all federal monies, what will happen? Who has calculated the yearly, billion dollar loss, to our economy? Answering that, how will we make up the difference?

The Feds have walked all over Texas Sovereignty for a long time now. Lately that has gone into high gear. You may choose to stand up or be run over. Daniel Miller is no fool. He chose to stand up!

The fools are the people that allow any government to trample on their inalienable rights. New law in Texas: police can stop anyone anytime for a license check. What happened to the 4th amendment? Why do Texas legislators NOT enact a sovereignty statute and push the Feds back? The answer is because they are all in bed together - AGAINST THE PEOPLE AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE. Wake up Texas, this is utter tyranny.

Thanks for approaching the subject with an open mind, Nick. That’s all we’ve ever asked.
