Where is Sam Houston when you need him?

I was going to say something about the whole Texas idiocy going on this week, but Kos says it better than I can with his list of questions for the would-be secessionists:

Are you flying an American flag? Because you don't get to do that when you cry and take your ball home.

Do you have a bumper sticker that says, "These colors don't run"? Because it sure looks like you're running.

Do you still pretend that your party is the "Party of Lincoln"? If so, what part of Lincoln exactly, would that be?

Since you've spent the last eight years saying "America, love it or leave it", is that an admission that you don't love America? Because we liberals? We loved it and stayed, even when your idiot of a president was trashing the place.

Was your patriotism (My country, right or wrong) so skin-deep, that it depended 100 percent on the guy in the White House?

That $200 billion Texas got in defense contracts between 2000 and 2007? No more of that. No more Ft. Hood. No more NASA. No more federal largesse. You okay with that?

You do realize that the Cowboys will no longer be "America's Team", right? Though they'd dominate the two-team Texas Football League (TFL).
