Texas and its most sacred and iconic historical sites like the Alamo are under constant attack by patronizing pseudo-intellectuals who only seem to care about history when it involves blind and uncritical acceptance of alternative facts about our states past.
Historians now know that the Lone Star State (along with the entire American Southwest) is built on land stolen from Mexico, that Jim Bowie was a staggering drunk and that Davy Crockett may have surrendered to the Mexican Army instead of being killed in action swinging Old Betsy.
For some, these alternative facts make the Alamo a symbol of racism and imperialism that should be re-imagined, at least according to the Texas Land Office.
Thats what the Reimagining the Alamo project directed and supervised by political neophyte and Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush is all about.
The site will no longer be known as the place where Texas fought for its freedom. As the Reimagine the Alamo master plan explains, the rationale for the Texas revolution is morally equivalent to historic Mexican oppression, and time should also be shared with Franciscan friars and Native Americans.

Well, today this book would pass as an example of one (how far society has fallen):
Go ask some aid workers, journalists or the like how trying to build a kinder and gentler society works out in places like Africa.
Looks tweaked there > to me.
We stole the lands of the southwest from The Mexicans. Right, and how, pray tell, did the Mexicans come by the land? They stole it from the Aztecs, Mayans, et al. Can you steal from a thief?
This is why we as a country have had more than enough Bush family members in office and it’s time for the family to retire from politics.
Jesse Jackson was right about one thing. “Stay out dem Bushes.”
