Texans generally aren't the rugged, independent, liberty-conscious folks they once were. Like most Americans, they happily acquiesce to the U.S. government's steady theft of their rights and property via unlawful statutes, programs, and activities.
Unfamiliar with historical or legal details, being largely products of public (i.e., government) "education," today's Texans easily adopt the "politically correct" myths that litter the landscape of American popular opinion. Many don't even know what the word secede means, and believe that the United States is a "democracy" (hint: it's not).
These are the same people who are doing their best to forbid teaching evolution in Texas; the same ones who "[have] accused "liberal New York publishers" of inserting "stealth" homosexual messages into textbooks" and "forced the publisher of another to replace a picture of a woman carrying a briefcase with a picture of a woman baking a cake". I cannot fathom what their ideal educational system would be.
Glenn Beck at least puts a face on this madness. I'm still unsure what exactly the 'economic suicide' refers to - is it the establishment of multilateral financial institutions? is it the bailout? TARP? Are we threatening your constitutional right to whine? Are we taking your guns, Glenn? Are we hurting your feelings?
