I have a hard time understanding why Hispanics, Blacks and Jews tend to vote more Democrat. From my point of view Democrat policies have harmed their groups more than helped.

I guess it's just that the Democrats have been very successful in hanging the dreaded Racist label and the concept that Republicans were for the rich around our necks. It's hard to get some people to understand that creating an opportunity for you to work and build something for yourself isn't holding them back. They only seem to respond to fear tactics and offerings.

Mainly because modern Republicans have “higher standards of decorum” and will take repeated punches to the face without responding in kind. The Republicans will site truth and facts that the Democrats and their accomplices in the media will distort and lie about the intent of the Republicans. Couple that with a growing Democratic voting base of low education voters who just continue to buy the lies and vote “D” without thinking and considering facts the Republicans are ceding the future of the country without a serious fight.
Democrats have a stated goal of fundamentally changing the country to a socialist government instead of a Constitutional Republic.
Republicans appear to have a goal of delaying the Democrats as long as they can, not defeating them in the war of ideals, facts and truth.
Another factor is that many religious groups have become socialist in nature and are boldly advancing the Democratic Socialist agenda.

Yeah, just like SCOTUS decided abortion and gay marriage were settled. Many disagree with SCOTUS decision in Texas vs White. Even that decision left an opening:
"In the case of Texas v. White in 1869, Supreme Court Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase wrote that, “The union between Texas and the other states was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original states. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.”

Yep, from both foreign and domestic enemies. The domestic list seems to grow larger daily, to the point that the internal threat to the Constitution is larger now than external threats.

I certainly wouldn't consider this thread as yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, and it certainly doesn't stoop to the revolting levels of some speech that has been deemed 'protected'. I believe we need to have a discussion on Texit and we need to have it now, despite what those 'on the other side' may see or think when they watch this forum. I don't want us to stoop as low as the left. Dozens on here have decried such actions from facebook, it would be a shame if we repeated them. Though, if Charles wants to remove this from texaschlforum, it would be his right.

I quit reading at this paragraph. Attacking our host isn’t cool. Your lengthy essay could have stood on its own without the above paragraph throwing down a gauntlet daring a response from the site owner.
