He's ready to lead the secession from the union:

http://www.propeller.com/story/2009/03/1...-us-government/

"Washington DC Article: Chuck Norris claims thousands of right wing cell groups exist and will rebel against U.S. government by local DC Special Interests Examiner expert, Ron Moore. Speaking on the Glen Beck radio show, Mr. Norris promised to run for president of Texas, if "things get any worse." According to the martial artist, Texas would be the optimal leader in a secession from the US, claiming that Texas was not formally part of the union in the first place. A live telecast, "We Surround Them", is scheduled for March 13th, to protest the current state of affairs in America."



Apparently, Chuck is seceding from reality, too.

From the original Examiner link in the article:

"The call by some right wing leaders for rebellion and for the military to refuse the commander in chief’s orders is joined by Chuck Norris who claims that thousands of right wing cell groups have organized and are ready for a second American Revolution. During an appearance on the Glen Beck radio show he promised that if things get any worse from his point of view he may “run for president of Texas.” The martial artist/actor/activist claims that Texas was never formally a part of the United States in the first place and that if rebellion is to come through secession Texas would lead the way.

Today in his syndicated column on WorldNetDaily Norris reiterates the point: “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”

He continues; calling on a second American Revolution; “…we've bastardized the First Amendment, reinterpreted America's religious history and secularized our society until we ooze skepticism and circumvent religion on every level of public and private life.

How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution? We the people have the authority according to America's Declaration of Independence, which states: That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”

Norris claims that; “Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation.” The right wing cells will meet during a live telecast, "We Surround Them," on Friday March 13 at 5 p.m.

He closes with the words of Sam Houston followed by a plug for his next martial arts event.

“We view ourselves on the eve of battle."

I think the issue of whether or not a state could succeed was settled back in the 19th century--it was, in part, what the Civil War was about. Several Southern states said, "we're going to succeed!" The North said, "no, you're not!" The North won the war. Case closed.

Anyway, thanks for this amusing post. Chuck has indeed gone off the deep end.

Not as far fetched as you libs might think.

Chuck is a regularly contributing author for Humanevents.com He is christian conservative and is quite wise and smart.

I'd vote for him in a heartbeat because I completely agree with his views and ideals.

Some small segment of the population may agree with you, BrianS. But it is a VERY small segment. If your own social network includes many people who think like Norris (and I have no idea if it does), views like his may seem more widespread then they really are. But I assure you, if he wants to foment a second American Revolution, he has his work cut out for him.

Right, exactly. This has nothing to do with Chuck's conservative beliefs, but rather the crackpot idea that the United States needs to start separating itself.

Brian, you have to admit, that idea will almost certainly not happen. No one in their right mind would support it. Chuck can do many incredible things, LOL. But separating this country ain't one of 'em.

My issue with the whole concept is that the people who claim to be "true" Americans, have no respect for the system of government in America.

Their chosen party had control of the house, the senate, and the Oval office and the "libs" as they call anyone who disagrees with them had to deal with it. But now that they have been voted out under the American system of Government, the same "true Americans" are ready to tear America apart.

Since when is intolerance to opposing views "American"?

This is not a post in support of any view, simply a response to those who would advocate the tearing apart of the United States of America.

I don't believe he is serious about running for pres of Texas. He was just making a point imo, a very valid point.

What proof do you have that a "VERY small" section of people agree with him?

It has EVERYTHING to do with his beliefs. The current administration is extreme left wing and completely against his(and mine) ideals both politically and morally. That's the whole reason for the article.

Probably won't happen. Lots of people in their right mind would support it though. Big government is not the answer to our problems. Government is FOR the people.

Once again??? So, the government can do whatever it likes because it's the government?

Howcome I didn't see this kind of support for the last administration? Don't answer that....

Intolerance is acceptable when our rights are violated, isn't it? The government is supposed to be for the people. Do you know what the aproval rate of congress is right now?

The powers of the government are well defined in the Constitution.

The 10th amendment is being crapped all over. Support the Constitution, not the government.
