Texas is Independent-minded But Acts Dependently in U.S.

There have been disputably seven (7), count 'em seven (7) official constitutions for Texas. Why? Texas came and went from Mexico, to Republic, To U.S. a few times. There were many reasons, it was just depending on the Texas time-line and where they were. Texas and its citizens may act like it's the best damn independent, Republican boundary of land but in all honesty this hasn't been proven the case. In the early 1800's Texas gained independence from Mexico due to conflicts of political ideals. Texas arose as the Republic of Texas. Until the United States annexed Texas. Not years later but just in 1 month. I do agree to those who say Texas has enough resources to be independent. That is a big reason why Texas is not the worst off in this current recession. However Texas has not really acted to be independent since 1836 (independence from Mexico). Plus Texas never showed any effort against the simple act of U.S. Congress to annex Texas land. Texas nationalism is like U.S. nationalism on steroids. I do not know how this came to be, but Texas citizens talk really big about their state. How it is the biggest state in the U.S. (besides Alaska but they leave this part out), how everything is therefore bigger in Texas. The coolest folk in Texas have to have the biggest trucks, even if they don't need the truck's massive 4v4 capability (which is mostly the case). I certainly respect everybody's point of view in Texas because, when it comes down to it, nobody (not even its own country) is going to mess with it. My point is that Texas sure can talk the talk. They just need to walk the walk. If we are by majority a Republican country and need to become a Republic, then please go for it. Don't just sit down and claim Texas is the biggest and baddest while U.S. stands over it.
