Chuck Norris Runs First Ad For President Of Texas
As you may have heard, the man who has survived the Octagon, who lead the Delta Force, who was Missing In Action not once, not twice, but thrice has thrown his hat into contention to be the next President... of Texas. Not from Texas. Of Texas.
Now you may be thinking, I didn't think Texas had a president. And you'd be right. But, that's nothing to stop a forward thinking former action star. Chuck followed up a paranoid conversation on Glenn Beck's radio show with a even more paranoid post on World Net Daily about Texas seceding from the union and the beginning of a "Second American Revolution".
He even mentioned that should that happen, that he may run for "President of Texas".
Well, I'm happy to report that the Lone Wolf has heard the call and is reporting for duty! Chuck has released his first campaign ad announcing his candidacy for President of Texas. Take a look.
Alright, to be fair to Chuck, and since he could easily kick my ass I'm going to be, he did say that the "President of Texas" line with Glenn Beck was just a tongue in cheek joke. Fine. You were just kidding. I'll accept that.
But, what's disturbing, as his World Net post shows, is that he clearly isn't kidding about Texas seceding from the United States.
See, Chuck is throwing a Glenn Beck suggested viewing party for an upcoming Beck special called We Surround Them. To promote the show, Beck is using this completely "not crazy" graphic
About the viewing parties, Chuck said:
Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation.
Hold on. Did he just say cell groups? Cell groups!?! Maybe Chuck's taking Congressman Pete Sessions's suggestion that Republicans should use a Taliban-like insurgency a little too seriously.
Wait a second. Now that I think about it, Pete Sessions is from... Texas! Holy crap! It's going down! Texas is seceding! And they're being led by Walker Texas Ranger!

I would consider supporting Norris for President of Texas. He supports the Second Amendment and Fair Tax. Fair Tax maximizes individual choice and economic liberty; it would also help bring back DESPERATELY needed manufacturing jobs from foreign countries.
Reagan was right: GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM. There is no reason for Texas to copy the failed socialist experiments of the past. If this doesn't ring a bell, think Venezuela, Russia, and Cuba. Now California is headed the same direction and unfortunately approaching bankruptcy. To avoid the same fate, Norris rightfully advocates succession.
The freedom to make your own choices--good schools for your kids, worthy charities--is patriotic. Would your rather surrender choice to hypocritical, distant Washington politicians? Wake up America!
I challenge anyone, anyone to respond to my post without:
1) changing the subject
2) ad hominem attacks
3) straw man arguments
Here's an argument, Texas just got approved for $1.3 billion in federal funding to repair hurricane damage. Fed-er-al. As in, national government. If you're so certain government is the problem, give the money back and ask the citizens of United State of Texas for roughly $50,000 each, to start.
silverbell, thank you for your post. I appreciate your thoughts.
In Texas, it is common knowledge that hurricanes hit the Gulf Coast. Thus, people building in hurricane zones should carry this risk by paying for storm insurance. When the government steps in and says, hey, we'll BAIL YOU OUT, the feds are encouraging more risk taking, more bad decisions, more development in harm's way. This concept is called moral hazard (see Wiki).
By the way, $1.3 billion in Fed funding divided by 24 million Texas residents is about $54.17 per resident. This Federal money should be given back. LOCALS should be held accountable for taking widely-known risks. If they are not held accountable, bad behavior is encouraged.
Before you can even begin to argue Texas succession first join the group of millions of people, judges, lawyers, college groups, and motivated individuals spanning over 100 years, and try to prove Texas was ever truly, legally annexed into the union. After you contact the corporate STATE OF TEXAS and ask them for the last legal Organic filed document for Texas please return here and post it for all to see. For those of you who may not have an extra 100 years its the 1836 constitution. Its this reason Texas cannot succeed it is impossible to leave somewhere you have never been.
No argument is needed. All we need do is watch to see how many join in. My bet is the you won't have enough support to elect a mayor in Chillicothe. This isn't because people don't read. It is because they disagree with you.
Hilarious!
Thank you, sir!
In memory of the great Sam Houston, who fought hard to get Texas admitted to the Union and opposed secession, we're a state now and in spite of what Chuck Norris says we are not leaving. So there!
You tell 'em!
I'm from Texas . . . born, bred and from a very long line of native Texans. Norris does not represent Texans . . . he isn't even FROM Texas. He may live here now [only in recent years], but he's an Okie by birth. He's a joke.
As for the other guy that some folks believe is a Texan [he's not] . . . we don't want him around, either. [They had to ship off tickets for his Midland "homecoming" to Lubbock and change the number of admissions on each ticket from one to five . . . nobody from Midland wanted to go.]
He is an embarrassment.
I figured as much, but I'm still glad to hear it, MzTexas.
And Chuck Norris' fifteen minutes are officially up. Please clear the stage, Mr. Norris.
It's about time! I've been a card-carrying member of AFTS (Americans in Favor of Texas Secession) for nearly two decades now. I'm from California.
Maybe you can donate to his campaign.
