You are correct about “the Rise of Texas” because the fall of the Alamo paved the way for San Jacinto. My statement was regarding the actual battle and fall, which occurred on 6 March 1836.
You need to come on down (or over). We need as many conservatives as we can get. Obozo has declared war on Texas through various lawsuits aimed at preventing the State from conducting our own business the way we want, and now he has targeted Texas for takeover by the Demonrats. They will do whatever it takes and we must thwart them. It will be a battle, but we’ve done it before... and we can do it again.
“...he has targeted Texas for takeover by the Demonrats. They will do whatever it takes and we must thwart them. It will be a battle,...”
The stupidest thing anyone can do is mess with Texans. I hope you kick their asses back to whatever hell hole they crawled out of. You’re good Americans, out there. I hope I can get there someday.
Pennsy is a good state; between us and Virginia, we’ve been a thumb in the eye of the Dem gun grabbers. Hope to remain so for some time to come...
I wish I shared the optimism about Texas. It’s being infiltrated by the liberal locusts. Look at Austin. Liberals are actively engaged in taking over once red states and quite effectively turning them blue. Just like here in my state of CO.
“...Liberals are actively engaged in taking over ...”
Of course they are. Because people on our side AREN’T.
Nature hates a vacuum.
Except for the Tea Party folks, there’s NO ONE fighting these jerk-offs. We’re seeing the difference, right now, between “the GOP” (McCain and Graham) and Tea Party (Rand Paul).
Put up firebrand conservatives, actively support and fight for them, and get them into office.
Failing that, YOU run, and be the firebrand. Or convince someone else you know who can do the job.
They’re following Alinsky: “YOU be the Delegate. YOU be the candidate.”
I know, it’s easier said than done. Not everyone can do it.
But your other options are to resist them any and every way you can.
They pass a law trying to strip you of your rights - you ignore it. Period.
It’s a choice. It has consequences, but it’s still a choice. You either choose to obey, or you do not.
If we’re to call ourselves Free People, we need to behave and act and believe like Free People.

And, every time McCain rises to criticize his party, I’m reminded of the truth behind “resurrection of the dead.”
Personally, I thought what Rand Paul did last night was nothing short of exemplary, and an example of what ALL our Senators and Reps should be doing in defense of the Constitution and our personal liberties.
I sat my two sons ages 15 and 17 down in front of the computer as we watched the c-span feed online. I found the near 8 hours of Paul’s filibuster that I saw very exhilarating. It’s been a long time since anyone defended our Constitution and liberties like Paul did last night.
I suspect our founding fathers might have stopped spinning in their graves last night for just a bit as Paul spoke the words and passion of our freedoms. Just think, Rand Paul actually stood there for 13 hours and told the entire Federal Government that the Constitution protects WE THE PEOPLE from them, not them from us!!!
Thank you Rand Paul, from an Illinois Comservative trapped in this hell hole of a state!
