"The Rebel flag uproar is so much hot air.
Some Texans complain about people parading around with a Mexican Flag. Its as legitimate here, as the Rebel flag."

Texas fought for the Confederacy. I may be incorrect, but I don't remember anything in my Texas history about Texas fighting FOR Mexico.

actually many Texans did fight for Mexico.

one (born on Gonzales) was the commanding general of the Mexican forces that whipped Maximilian's Frenchmen. that's why many Texans celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
