    THE COUNTRY of TEXOARKLA



    In case things get a little tougher during the next few months, we In ARKANSAS , LOUISIANA , OKLAHOMA & TEXAS have a plan.

    Maybe you don't know it, but LOUISIANA , TEXAS , OKLAHOMA , & ARKANSAS have a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas/Louisiana-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)

    Us TEXOARKLANS love y'all Americans, but we'll probably have to take action since Barack Obama won the election and is now the President of the U.S.A. We'll miss ya'll though.

    Here is what can happen:

    1. Barack Hussein Obama, after becoming the President of the United States , begins to try and create a socialist country, then TEXAS , LOUISIANA , ARKANSAS and OKLAHOMA announces that they are going to secede from the Union .

    2. George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of TEXOARKLA . You might think that he doesn't talk too pretty, but we haven't had another terrorist attack and the economy was fine until the effects of Barney Frank and the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came home to roost.

    So what does TEXOARKLA have to do to survive as a Republic?

    1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas . We will control the space industry.

    2. We refine over 90% of the gasoline in the United States .

    3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess with TEXAS ," will take on a whole new meaning.

    4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of TEXOARKLA will need for the next 300 years. What will the other states do? Gee, we don't know. Why not ask Obama?

    5. Natural Gas - again, we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry and AlGore will just have to figure out a way to keep them warm...

    6. Computer Industry - we lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications equipment - small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Nortel, Alcatel, etc. The list goes on and on.

    7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers.

    8. We have enough colleges to keep educating and making smarter citizens: University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, UL-Lafayette, UL-Monroe, University of Arkansas, LSU, LA Tech, Arkansas State University, Baylor, Rice, TCU, SMU and MANY more.

    9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force and it isn't restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in TEXOARKLA, we are a Right-to-Work State and, therefore, it's every man and woman for themselves. We just go out and get the job done.. And if we don't like the way one company operates, we get a job somewhere else.

    10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance industries, etc.

    11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the TEXOARKLA National Guard, the TEXOARKLA Air National Guard, and several military bases. We don't have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six guns and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over the Texas Rangers.

    12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables and let's not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. We don't need any food from somewhere else.

    13. FIVE of the ten largest cities in the United States and THIRTY TWO of the 100 largest cities in the United States are located in TEXOARKLA. And TEXOARKLA also has more land than California , New York , New Jersey , Connecticut , Delaware , Hawaii , Massachusetts , Maryland , Rhode Island and Vermont combined.

    14. Trade: FIVE of the ten largest ports in the United States are located in TEXOARKLA.

    15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to. You see, nothing rusts in TEXOARKLA so our vehicles stay beautiful and run well for decades.

    This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of TEXOARKLA in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

    Now to the rest of you folks in the United States under President Obama:

    Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

    You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications.

    You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since AlGore has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.

    In other words, we're leaving it with ya!



    Signed, The People of TEXOARKLA





    P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!

    Sleep well tonight 'cause the eyes of TEXOARKLA are on YOU!!

    This list is almost entirely either pointless or simply ignorant...

    Examples:

    1. NASA is a federal agency. If the secession were peaceful, wave goodbye as the assets were removed from your care. If violent...BOOM.

    2. Refineries can be built elsewhere. Also, see above...BOOM.

    3. Plenty of defense research & manufacturing peppered throughout the rest of the nation. Also, see above again...BOOM.

    4. The rest of the nation has plenty of oil too.

    5. Natural gas, plenty of that in the other states too.

    6. These are, for the most part, corporations w/out borders. I doubt they would voluntarily cease business within the remainder of the USA...considering that the bulk of their customer base is NOT in...what are they going to call it?...Hillbillyland?

    7. Medical research isn't extremely necessary at this point. Correct application of current technology leaves plenty of room for improvement.

    8. Hardly a monopoly on "higher" education. What's the point?

    9. A lot of other workforces are the same & Indiana, for example, is an "at will" work state.

    10. False. Just one example from 10 seconds of googling; "Over 10% of the nation's plastics are manufactured or finished in Erie-based plastics plants." -Erie, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also...wtf does it matter who controls the legal gambl...I mean insurance agencies? It's not like this couldn't be rectified in about 3 weeks time, even if all of the Hillbillyland-based insurance companies could be persuaded to drop the other 90% of the USA as customers.

    11. So can the rest of the USA...barring perhaps Kalifornia.

    12. Again, not a unique trait.

    13. This means that the Hillbillyland populace would be much easier to decimate with conventional warfare. Thanks for pointing this out.

    14. And all of them get a regular reaming from enormous hurricanes. All yours.

    15. Does this mean that landmines would also last a lifetime?

    Oh, also, thanks for taking care of about 1/2 of our illegal immigration problem for us. Wonder if we can kick Kalifornia out...

    Its meant to be humorous. A simple expression of frustration of the status quo.

    First it started with the mods, now the members.

    INGO Humor is officially DEAD. Save for a few of us in the banhammer thread and the FEW that post in the funny picture thread. Yep. INGO's humor is dead.

    Texas did just fine on it's own. The US wanted them to join us, not the other way around.

    As for the other states having plenty of oil? Where? Alaska? They are on the verge of seceeding, too. California has oil... but won't allow anyone to drill for it.

    There's enough along the coasts & in Alaska to get by on. However, the bulk of what we use comes from the sandbox, so it's a moot point anyhow.

    It's the refineries which would hurt the most, but again, I doubt that the privately-owned/publicly-traded refiners would willingly refuse to do business with the remainder of the USA.

    As we saw during the spring/summer/fall of 2008, driving habits change with the price of gasoline, so the economy wouldn't be any more crippled by such a secession than it has in recent years.

    Who said anything about refusing to do business with the USSA? It would just keep importing away, now at the mercy of yet another nation.

    Cmon guys, this isn't going to happen and if it did, WAY more states would go with it. Especially those out west with probably the exclusion of Kommiefornia. Alaska, Colorado, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada I would think would all go aswell along with a few New England states. :dunno:

    If this were to happen it would be civil war.

    I still maintain that Humor is officially dead on this website.
