Texas secession: Views differ

Looks like Rick Perry has found his audience for secession talk: Ron Paul Nation.

If you don't feel like sitting through that (can't say I blame you), Bud Kennedy gives the capsule review:

[Paul calls] secession "very much an American principle" and criticizing the idea of "one nation . . . indivisible" as something thought up by a "socialist."

Secession is nothing new for Paul, who has waxed poetic in previous videos about an independent Texas with no income tax, no military draft and no interest in any military presence outside Texas.

I think that all pretty much speaks for itself, so for the pro-America response, here's John Sharp:

I think that would be more salient as part of a gubernatorial campaign. Timely, too - is anyone really going to remember any of this in 2011 or 2012 when that Senate seat is finally on the ballot? Be that as it may, good on Sharp for stating what should be the obvious. Burka has more.
