These Castro guys need to be buried, before they become the Hispanic Obama. People were too nice with Obama when he first gained prominence, and then he got too popular to stop. We cannot make that same mistake again. As Barney Fife said, “You gotta nip it in the bud.”
“The Alamo, then a sprawling mission for missionaries and American Indian converts, was attacked in February 1836 by Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Though historical accounts vary, Texans, including famous frontiersman Davy Crockett, fought back for 13 days only to surrender, on March 6.”
WRONG!!! The Americans at the Alamo never surrendered! They were finally overrun by Santa Ana’s 5,000 strong army and no quarter was given. The Mexicans played “Daguello” meaning `cut-throat’, after the Texans refused to surrender without a fight. A few civilians were the only survivors.
As for Mamacita Castro, her view of Texas & the Alamo is not that uncommon among the Chicano community.

I wonder how the high school and college history books in San Antonio describe the Spanish-American War and formation of Texas ???
I can truly say that I hate that place and everything it stands for.
Never mind that the flag flying over the Alamo was a Mexican tricolor with the number ‘1824’ on it, because the defenders wanted a return to the Mexican constitution of 1824 and the end of military dictatorship.
Never mind that a number of the defenders were Latins, or that Santa Anna had to suppress mestizos all over Mexico who were trying to throw off his dictatorship.
Ugly, stupid, ignorant bigot. Stump broke even for DEAD dictators. Peon.
Now we know to whom Gorda Maria pledges allegiance.

Nineteenth century romantic “blood and soil” ideology at its finest.
The mother looks like Jabba da Hut.
The tipping point with Santa Anna was when he crossed the line and tried to disarm the Texians. He had already abolished the 1824 Mexican Constitution. Up to that point, the Texians had tried to get along and live peaceably as mexican citizens, minding their own dang business. Then Santa Anna stupidly ordered the people of Goliad to give back the cannon.
I hope the current WH-occupying Marxists know their Texas history.

I was watching the Castro Bros. and the DNC farse. I got one glance of them sitting together and it reminded me of photos of a circus sideshow and those bros looked like the conjoined twins Barnum & Bailey used to display. The rest of the crowd resembled a typical freak show.
Look at this photo!
The most famous pair of conjoined twins was Chang and Eng Bunker
