Drop kick her back to Mexico where she can scour the Country for proof America stole Texas. In fact, drop kick them all and let's clean up this mess.

The twisted mentality of many on the left is mindboggling and simply staggering! This country is so in for a frakin; worse than the frakin’ it is currently experiencing under this current adminstration. =.=

And this little sprout of the fat, repulsive radical La Raza mother is now the mayor of one of the biggest sucklings on the government teat, San Antonio. If that city were just a little closer to the border, we could just give it back to Mexico. Texas would be much better off without it.

It would be much cheaper for the U.S. taxpayer than paying for every child in the entire San Antonio ISD to be on “free” lunches, all the Section 8 housing where squatters from Mexico can live for free and eat for free on WIC and food stamps, and they also cash in on free medical care. San Antonio is as big a welfare sink hole as you will find in the USA.

The Alamo, then a sprawling mission for missionaries and American Indian converts

That is factually incorrect. Mission San Antonio de Valero, aka the Alamo, ceased functioning as a mission and a house of worship in 1794.

Another dem "star" with radicals in his background. The RUP is a fine group, who like so many DNC related groups hate Jews even more than they hate whites. Though it generally can't be posted from here, I doubt the admins will mind if I link their rag, La Voz de Aztlan for those who want a taste of the ideology. From their early days, the "community organizers" learning from the source.

Looks like a campaign poster against Castro to me. Will the San Antonio Repubs use it? Probably not....

By "we" she means Mexicans.

I highly doubt that she was told that Mexicans lost the Battle of the Alamo.

"...a member of a radical civil rights movement and who reportedly thinks the truth behind the Battle of the Alamo is that Texans swiped Mexico’s land."

Yada, yada, yada...and Mexico swiped the land from Spain. And they swiped the land from the Yaqui, who swiped it from the Totonacs. And they swiped it from Aztecs, who swiped it from the Olmecs, who got it after they whupped up on the Maya or whoever. Being on the losing side of history sucks, doesn't it? Cry me a river.

So, General Santa Anna was a good man who loved the people he ruled?

Nonsense.

He was a tinpot dictator who cared only for himself.

What Hispanic Ku Klux Klan racism! If she felt she was on the “losing side” of the Alamo, she can take her Gringo-hating self back to that Third World Latrine to the south

Anti-White, Anti-Semite....the DNC

I guess she would rather her sons be, at best, crooked Mexican politicians. If Mexico had kept Texas her people would have just migrated farther north.

the so-called heroes were really “a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.”

Actually, not a bad description of a good many of the men who fought there. It was well known at the time that quite a few of the Texas settlers had chosen to leave the US because of legal problems, family issues, debts, etc. As had many of the Americans who came, mostly from the South, to fight for Texas.

Just like most men who choose to leave a settled community and strike out into the beyond. Most do so because things, for one reason or another, aren't comfortable for them where they are.

They were, as a group, most certainly slaveholders, or at least aspired to be. Mexican attempts to end slavery was one of the major irritants in the relationship between the settlers and the government.

Imperialists, certainly, depending on how you define the term. Most of those who were settlers took up land without any intention of honoring the terms for doing so: allegiance to Mexico and converting the Catholicism. The Americans, like Davy Crockett, who came to fight with them did so with the intention of taking the land from Mexico.

"Land that didn't belong to them." Someone is going to have make a moral case why the land belonged to Mexico, which had only been around for 25 years and never had effective control of the area. The Mexican case is based on stealing it from the Spanish King, who stole it from the Indians. All perfectly legitimate, but Texans stealing it from Mexico somehow is unfair.

The silliest part of her argument is that they weren't heroes. As if other heroes down through history were shining exemplars of every virtue. Heroes are just men, and as a rule show the failings of their age. The Spartans who died at Thermopylae were probably not very nice guys, as Sparta was not a very nice place, but they were no less heroic.

Her version also ignores the facts of Santa Ana's rise to power and atrocities against other sections of Mexico that resisted his dictatorship.

IOW, it's a much more complex and interesting story than either: Americans good, Mexicans bad OR Mexicans good, Americans bad.

At least six of the men who died defending the Alamo were native hispano Tejanos.
