HOUSTON - The starting point was a Facebook post by a group called Texas Antifa.
The post alleges the Sam Houston Memorial's so-called demise will begin on June 10.
Why remove it?
Other posts by the group explain its stance.
"Texans agree the disgusting idols of America's dark days of slavery must be removed to bring internal peace to our country."

Out back is the creek Ol Sam was baptized. The pastor and helpers from what I understand carved out of the limestone below the shape of a coffin. When Sam was baptized, the pastor told him all his sins had been warshed away...Sam then replied, “feel sorry for the fish downstream”. lol. By the way...Sam's wife is interned at the Baptist church there.
Ever get a chance...travel to Independence, Texas. Real perty place. The old Baylor University ruins are there along with historic buildings of settlements...just a historic place. Also there is the Rose Emporium. Acres of gorgeous roses grown on the place along with all sorts of blooming flowers, nic nacs and such. We purchased a few rose bushes from the place. WELL worth the trip. Stop by the old mercantile as well for a cold bev.
I sound like the chamber of commerce. lol. It's just a great run out there off of scenic route 360 or 390...something like that. During the spring wild flower season, huge pastures of solid blue...literally solid blue bonnets or yellow or orange or red or pink.
Wild flowers in Texas are something to behold. Look it up on Google...Wild flowers trail, Texas. If we've had a rainy spring....the flowers are amazing.
Imagine stuffing a $1 bill down those undies. Wait, do NOT imagine.
“Texans agree the disgusting idols of America’s dark days of slavery must be removed to bring internal peace to our country.”
Horse hockey. Those aren’t true Texans. They’re the imports from Kalifornia, BLMs and illegals out for revenge.
Antifa is the only thing acusing “controversy”.
I’m sure Governor Abbott will fix this.
THANKS for the informative picture of Independence, Texas. I wish I had a microphone and the volume reached all of the world. But everywhere people need to remember the Commandmant of Moses to HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER....and the reward was IT WILL GO WELL WITH YOU.
Countries also have fathers, cities, and towns. Sometimes the fathers had stains, marks upon their life of obvious flaws. But at the same time, they need to be HONORED, as it was their vision, their gfit of life that got us going. I live in Mexico, and I chide everyday with my Mexxcian friends to remember with kindness and deep respect people who gave their life, spilled their blood, and believed in the future we are living. Sam Houston, was a drunk, had a wretched earlier spell, but he did end well. I see a LOT of the Confederate leaders as men of virtue, valor and loved their families. It has a tinge of remorse to see people want to destroy the legacy.
Ironically, Houston refused to swear allegiance to the Confederacy because he had worked so hard to bring it into the Union in the first place. For this he was considered a traitor to the Confederacy.
We've got to make a stand. These commies won't stop at merely taking down inanimate objects. They want to destroy the culture and the people who would preserve such monuments.
They want to do away with us, as they find our ways of thinking, of believing, of merely living, to be intolerable. Well, I'm sorry to burst their bubble, but our ways are encoded in this nation's founding documents, and are a part of its true history. The very history they're trying to erase.
These leftists must be made to realize that their ideas and ideals are an alien and invasive incursion upon an existing nation that never invited them here, but tolerated their degrading presence, due to our people's mutual belief in, and defense of, personal liberty and freedom of thought.
Obviously, the actual practice of our founding ideals has its limits, when not tempered with a healthy side helping of common sense and prudence. Freedom of speech should not mean freedom to harm the greater whole with pernicious lies, slanders, and the selling of destructive ideas that run counter to the fundamental agreements of an established culture.
Clearly, we cannot allow ourselves to be so tolerant, that we stand mute, and permit the wholesale destruction of every strand of the unifying fabric of our nation. If we fail to put a stop to this while its in its rabble rousing phase, it will grow and evolve into something much, much bigger, and far more violent.
Either he will, or we will.
One way or another, these commies are gonna learn that, "Don't Mess With Texas", isn't just an advertising slogan.
Get on board and support TNM. Time for Texas to once again raise its head among like Nations as a free Republic, shed of Washington and the ties that bind.
No, I'm referring to the United States as a whole.
There may come a point where I abandon all hope for the continued survival of the union, and support the Texas secessionist movement, but that day hasn't arrived for me. Not yet.
In the meantime, I remain intensely loyal to my state, and to my country.
Sam Houston: American and Texan Hero. Tell Antifa to shove it and crawl back under the rocks with the snakes and scorpions.
Blacks remind me of slavery just because they are black. When are we going to remove them?
Those extremist groups from the beehive cities in northern states need to have their asses run out of Texas and the South-I hope gov Abbott will show off his titanium cojones like he always does-it they don’t listen, then bring it, mf’ers-maybe I’ll finally get to use my tagline-me, T5’sguy, and a lot of the people we know have been waiting for the revolution since we were teens-and we are totally ready for it...
I love my country also and would hate to see a split-but if push comes to shove and Texas and some other states go their own way, then the insane socialists have only themselves to blame-
“Lunatic fringe, we know you’re out there-you’re in hiding and you hold your meetings”...
Isn't that what Planned Parenthood's main purpose is? Seems to be doing a pretty fair job of it, and with their cooperation.
I think my sister keeps the Texas Rose Emporium in business.
“Its the tyranny of the minority.
Give em one thing and theyll demand another.”
EXACT same thing with homosexuals. No matter what you give them, it will never be enough.
How’s it ironic? They’re calling Houston a “slave owner,” not a Confederate.
Yes. I know.
These idiots must be warned of what they are playing with. Their hand is not a full deck.
They want that one too
