   In hindsight, the fellows at the Alamo would rather it were a shapely female.

   Funny, but since it was Texas and according to Texas history they would never have found any gays in Texas.

   Dig yourself into a hole you can’t get out of, typical of “conservative” arrogance. Santa Ana’s army (he wasn’t actually there)was later defeated by a twerp in California who stood on the cliff and rained fire down on them.

   Standing on principle is fine, but when it’s “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine too!”- one might consider how big the other guy’s gun is?

   The Mexican documents have mostly destroyed the myths. The many survivors were executed and cremated in mass including Davy Crockett. Take that John Wayne!! And I consider myself a Texican. The rear guard action did allow Houston to lure the Mexican army into an ambush and secure Texas independence. But that was not finalized until the 1848 Mexican war when the USA took the south west and California.
   Now we are engaged in La Reconquista.

    Despite Professor Fukuyama, oldlegodad, history isn’t over until the fat lady sings (and nobody’s left standing). What goes ‘round comes ‘round….

    Doesn’t Texas have the right to secede from the Union if it wants to?

    Anything we can do to help?

    They should take the rest of the Southern States to secede with them, the “Red Belt” former confederates.

    They can have their own consitution (BIBLE) and the term “Bible Belt” will take on a whole new meaning that the rest of us can appreciiate :-)

    At a distance, of course.

    Of course, what Texans don’t like to admit (in public, anyway), is that the Mexican war was a shameless bit of imperialist theft so that Southern Americans could have slaves, which was forbidden by Mexico…
