"Sovereignty or Secession" Rally in Austin, Texas


August 29, 2009

On August 29, 2009, citizens gathered to call for Texas' secession from the Union. The turnout for the rally wasn't huge—200 would be a generous estimate—but it was enough to show how much Gov. Rick Perry has helped galvanize and embolden the right wing "hate America" fringe.

After all, the governor of the second most populous state in the nation had suggested in April that secession was a possible solution to federal over-reach. Republican political leaders have helped bring "death panels" and the Obama birth certificate nonsense into acceptable discourse; Perry's contribution has been bringing secession into the mix.

Trust me, Perry didn't set them off. Every Texan knows how to succeed from the union --learned in junior high history-- and many of them have contemplated it.
