Well, the ten years of independent nationhood prior to Unioninzing certainly is trumpeted here as a matter of pride; we're unique aomg the states in that respect, and Texans with a little historical knowledge are pretty damned loud about reminding those who aren't -- so it's a meme that gets handed down.
Most of us understand that it ain't 1843 any more, and going it alone isn't a viable option. The media, on the other hand, is happy to hand a bullhorn to the loudmouths, no matter their distinct minority.
