Chuck Norris for president … of Texas

From CNN's Lauren Kornreich


If the State of Texas ever left the Union, Chuck Norris is interested in being president of the newly independent country.
(CNN) – Actor Chuck Norris has his eyes on the presidency, but not the White House. Norris wrote that he would be interested in becoming the president of Texas, if the state were ever to secede from the Union.

“I may run for president of Texas,” Norris wrote Monday in a column posted at WorldNetDaily. “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”

The actor claimed “thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation” and said that if states decide to secede from the union, that Texas would lead the way.

“Anyone who has been around Texas for any length of time knows exactly what we'd do if the going got rough in America,” Norris wrote.

“Let there be no doubt about that.” Norris was a strong supporter of Mike Huckabee’s presidential bid, and he helped to draw attention to the former Arkansas governor’s campaign.

Okay, seriously. I know Texan's can sometimes be a little irrational when it comes to states rights, but seriously. Does anyone believe the US will allow a state to leave the union?

We had this little thing called the civil war about 150 years ago the last time someone though this was feasable.

Why not just run for gov Chucky.

You've had enough presidents from Texas, I thought.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

I think one of the pre requisites for being president would be birth in the land in question, and Mr Norris was born in Oklahoma.

Plus I really doubt any state would secede from the union.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

The only state that would ever possible do this is California. And that's a pipe dream at best..

 

[JAXvillain]

there should be a windfall of good political cartoons from this at least...chuck roundhousing obama and shit like that

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Lincoln was the irrational one, the country would've been better off split.

 

[Jonny_B]

If you believe what I've been told by a number of Texans, Texas is the only state that is allowed to secede.

I don't think it would happen, but I doubt it's impossible.

 

[tre]

I could see California becoming two separate states first, north and south.

If Texas does go, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and I'm sure a few others would be on their side.

Will it ever actually happen? Who knows.

Would I vote for Chuck if it did, no.

Is this the same nation it was back then? No. I doubt contemporary Americans could stomach seeing other Americans being slaughtered on the news every minute of every day because Texas decided to secede. We are notorious pussies now. ~ 4,200 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq and countless people view that as too heavy a price. 4,200. In 6 years of fighting.

A civil war isn't likely to happen again in my opinion, not because of us anyway. There would be a rise in steers-and-queers jokes though. Mostly out of resentment and jealousy.

I suspect the concept of becoming 49 states as opposed to 50 would dramatically alter the american apathy.

No way in hellour government will allow a state to succeed. They will drag us into a war wether public opinion is for it or not.

 

[Sarcasmo]

That would be pretty interesting. I'd be all for it. We have the Houston Ship Channel, where oil comes from. We also have a large military presence. And Mexicans. Mexico AND the head-severing drug cartels would be on our side. You'd all be fucked. TEXACO FOR LIFE

 

[snoogit]

A few skits on Conan O'Brien and Chuck Norris really turned into an Assbag.

 

[plot]

basically the rest of the US would leave the majority of the eastern seaboard.

basically the rest of the US would leave the majority of the eastern seaboard.

And California. We all know California will never be accepted into the Republic of Texas.

 

[plot]

And California. We all know California will never be accepted into the Republic of Texas.

nah, california with the exception of LA and San Fran. would be accepted. The rest of the state is red.

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Im just gonna start calling him Chuckles from now on.
