I heard on the radio today that Chuck Norris (yes, the guy that can eat just one potato chip, or kill two stones with one bird) wants to run for president. But not President of the United States, oh no. He wants to be President of Texas.
Let me explain.
Mr. Norris believes that President Obama's administration has made itself an enemy to the state of Texas, and that Texas should secede from the Union. Again.
WHAT?!?!
Here's the story from Associated Content
(I'll let you guess what my opinion is about the subject for now. I'll go into more detail at a later date):
Being a Texas Ranger Just Isn't Enough Anymore
Chuck Norris is seeking presidential power, but not of the United States, he wants to be in charge of Texas. After being on Glen Beck's radio show, Chuck Norris wrote on his blog at World Net Daily that he, "I may run for president of Texas."
Norris is famous for his long action movie career and his television series, Walker Texas Ranger. Not only that but he is an internet icon, sparking a website called Chuck Norris Facts a site that will randomly produce "facts" about the action hero such as "If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money then you."
But why does the 80s action hero think that Texas would even be searching for a President? It has after all been a state since 1845. Norris believes the current national government has become "the enemy of the state".
Not one to sit down and take such perceived 'evil' Chuck Norris thinks many states will get frustrated with Obama's administration and eventually secede from the United States if things continue, but that Texas will lead the way. And why will Texas lead the charge in succession if this comes to such action? Norris wrote, "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 quoted many of our Founding Fathers and then made points illustrating that our current government has gone off track. For example, he quotes Thomas Jefferson discussing the government will not create perpetual debt and then reminds us of our current recession.
After this, Norris asked how much more can America take? He also wondering, "And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution?"
