Kerr County Sheriff Rusty Hierholzer on a raid in which, local, county, state and federal officials converged on a ‘group’ calling itself the ‘republic of texas’ after they had issued a ‘court’ document looking for the appearance of a Texas (capital T) judge before a ‘republic of texas’ court.
The meeting at which a birthday arty was celebrated, was in the VFW of Bryan, TX.
It’s HERE
Not a big WND follower, but this story is a bit alarming.
The ‘republic of texas’ which may be a group having some semi serious fun claims the issue of the summons to the actual judge was satire and frivolous in nature.
Yet despite the lessons which began with the sheriff’s dept in Ferguson appearing on the streets with MRAPS and army equipment, it’s extremely WORRISOME to fin this reaction before a disciplined and meaningful talk was had with these people.
The ‘republic of texas’ site which is HERE
If you look thru the site, including the minutes of the last meeting in January, their purpose, etc, it looks like some quasi serious people having a good time meaningful to them and a VERY FEW OTHERS, with no advocacy that I saw of violence.
In fact, I would say that the reaction of the govt is PRECISELY that reaction Obama refuses to yield to ISIS.
If they were not serious before, they have garnered the attention of folks who now wonder, WHAT IN HELL THE IDIOTS IN THE GOVT WERE THINKING ABOUT?
At U VA in 1969 we joked about setting up the Republic of Lysergia (yeah, that right…welcome back to 1969) and inviting people to speak before us, some by subpoena.
I just can’t see that EITHER EFFORT deserves what happened to these guys.
Not a big fan of the idea of secession, but if the reaction of the govt is what these folks are joking around about seceding from .. well you get the idea.
KAFKA, people in the govt. With every such action you really DE LEGITIMIZE yourselves but for the force you can call upon which offers no legitimization, but instead ACCELERATES the idea that IT IS OVER HERE, in the USA, and that the semi joke these people were enjoying (and harming no one) was actually SERIOUS.
So I offer you the wisdom of my grandfather, who escaped the Cossacks, the Czar, the Poles, and finally the Germans.

Is this what they are doing down there instead of guarding the national border?
