    Chuck Norris to Run for President of Texas

    Posted:
    03/10/09
    Chuck Norris, heady from his recent success as political kingmaker (if Mike Huckabee's third place finish in the Republican primaries makes him "king") is now speculating about a political run of his own ...

    For President of Texas.

    Now, you may say that Texas doesn't have a president. But it will once it secedes, as Norris is hoping. From his column in the always-exciting World Net Daily ...

    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.

    We'll be sure to keep you posted on other possible candidates for President of Texas, including Nolan Ryan and The Macho Man Randy Savage.
