>> Here's a prediction for you...by the time you think Texas will be a nation I predict it will be a blue state instead.

Yeah, that's what Tejek's been telling us. And then, it happened:

Texas Governor - Abbott vs. Davis

Final Results Abott 59.3 Davis 38.9 Spread Abbott+20.4

This is Teddy's idea of a "lovely shade of purple." Davis, you remember, was going to be the next up-and-comer from Texas. Ooops.

I don't know. I just don't see that blue state thing playing out like you guys have been predicting lol.

As to the conspiracy, I don't know what the truth is. I don't think the military would turn against the American People at the behest of Barack Obama. I can tell you that much. They despise him, with support for Obama among military personnel dropping to 15% only 4 months ago.

So, I think the threat of an Obama military action against the American people is at an all time low.

But he clearly would love to be the dictator in a fascist dictatorship. He just doesn't have the intellect to make it happen. And his policy has made him so unpopular that he really lacks the popular support to do it without the military. So, the path to overstaying his welcome is not evident at this point.
