Chuck Norris: I May Run For President Of Texas

Over at World Net Daily, five-time Hairpiece Olympics gold medalist Chuck Norris is stoking the secessionist movement, saying he may run for president of Texas. He's only half joking.

When I appeared on Glenn Beck's radio show, he told me that someone had asked him, "Do you really believe that there is going to be trouble in the future?" And he answered, "If this country starts to spiral out of control and Mexico melts down or whatever, if it really starts to spiral out of control, before America allows a country to become a totalitarian country (which it would have under I think the Republicans as well in this situation; they were taking us to the same place, just slower), Americans won't stand for it. There will be parts of the country that will rise up." Then Glenn asked me and his listening audience, "And where's that going to come from?" He answered his own question, "Texas, it's going to come from Texas. Do you agree with that Chuck?" I replied, "Oh yeah!" Definitely. It was these types of thoughts that led me to utter the tongue-n-cheek frustration on Glenn Beck's radio show, "I may run for president of Texas!" I'm not saying that other states won't muster the gumption to stand and secede, but Texas has the history to prove it. As most know, Texas was its own country before it joined the Union as its 28th state. From 1836 to 1846, Texas was its own Republic. Washington-on-the-Brazos (river) served as our Philadelphia, Pa. It was there, on March 2, 1836, where a band of patriots forged the Texas Declaration of Independence.

Norris wants to "rekindle the patriotic fires of early America" and is hosting a creepily titled live telecast of the Glenn Beck show called "We Surround Them." During the show "cells" of the new secessionist movement will have viewing parties around the nation. Cells, as in terrorist cells. The show airs March 13th.
