These so called students are probably not even from Texas.Austin is a liberal hell hole.
Like me, he is what he is. I don't know if he knows what a conundrum he is.
Not really. The Confederates, the slavers, the Klan, segregationists, liberals.....all democRATs.
Well, of somebody...
Excellent comparison.

Would it be ok for someone to put up a state of Hitler in Germany? No. Move Davis to a museum. Respecting and remembering history is important, but honoring people who led insurrection against America, who killed Americans is wrong. Davis lost, his cause was bad, move on.
Popping my popcorn as we speak.
I don’t know. I’m rather sympathetic to those who lead insurrections against what they perceive as tyranny and, especially, not abiding to the U.S. Constitution.
A glimpse at the future Texas
Better to remove uber lib UT from Texas.
A glimpse at the future America.
He looks a lot like Pajama Boy.
Boy, you point that finger at me and you’ll be pulling back a bloody stump. What a ridiculous picture. Yeah, the list goes on to include moron. You moron, among other mistakes, Texan is capitalized.
What we got here is more like a negative thing in positive history. The idea of Jef Davis getting panned in Dallas makes sense because back when Austin seceded folks from Dallas went north and joined the U.S. Army. It was controversial; Sam Houston hated secession and felt betrayed but south Texas was southern. North and west Texans even today have much less of a southern accent. No kudzu there either.
But Texans have been united for a long time. Recently on Memorial Day I was at an old cemetery near Waco and someone had planted American flags on the veteran's graves --including the graves of the CSA vets. My Texan Marine son-in-law said "they fought for their country too".
The above was from an article describing charges against the student who placed a noose around the neck of James Meredith at Ole Miss. I just substituted the school and name and key historical points.
Anybody see this happening any time soon?
Have the students in Texas been arrested?
If it hadn’t been for Jefferson Davis, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and parts of California would be Northern Mexico. As leader of the Mississippi Rifles and the Secretary of War, Davis served the US well.
Who was the greater tyrant - those who lawfully won an election through the rule of law or those who said, “Screw you, if I can’t have whatever the hell I want I’m going to blow up the country!”?
And who adhered closer to the Constitution - Lincoln who chose to abide by his oath of office, or the rebs who crapped all over it on their way out of town?
Me? I’m rather sympathetic to the rule of law.
