Texas Republican Wants State To Leave U.S. Over Obama Win

A Republican official in Texas called for his state to separate from the United States and the “maggots” who reelected President Barack Obama in a newsletter he sent out this week.

Peter Morrison, who serves as treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party, wrote in his post-election newsletter that there was a clear solution to the problem of Obama’s re-election.

“We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity,” Morrison wrote. “But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our opportunity.”

“Texas was once its own country, and many Texans already think in nationalist terms about their state. We need to do everything possible to encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why should Vermont and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her own way in peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this gut-wrenching spectacle every four years,” he wrote.

The contents of the letter were first reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

They USED to ride people like this out on rails. TAR and FEATHER them. Pick their butts UP OUT of their cushy offices and RUN THEM OUT of office.

I'd just like to put him in jail for seditious and treasonous behavior unbecoming a political official sworn to uphold the law of the land and cooperate with the will of the people.

These clubs are a drain on state time, all they do is nag the official Gov., release crazy press statements and pay NO taxes.
