Chuck Norris doesn’t remember the Alamo.  The Alamo remembers him.

Watch out, President Obama. Chuck Norris is threatening to single-handedly rip Texas from the Union and declare himself President of the Lone Star State, er, Republic. And he’ll do it, too, if Washington doesn’t shape up, pronto.

Thomas Jefferson counseled us, “We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.” Yet the feds have skyrocketed our national debt by trillions of dollars, and they plan much more fiscal expansion, with few expectations of resistance. George Washington admonished, “To contract new debts is not the way to pay for old ones.” But we keep borrowing and bailing out, and we watch the stock market plunge further every time we do. …

How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen, or will history need to record a second American Revolution?

While I’m not (yet) in favor of seceding, I would love to see Chuck Norris run for governor some day, if only to debate (i.e. put the smack down on) Kinky Friedman. Plus, wouldn’t it be fun watching Arnold Schwarzenegger wet his pants the first time he met a real “Governator”?
