CHARLOTTE, N.C. –  The young Texas mayor whose keynote speech wowed the Democratic National Convention crowd Wednesday night draws political inspiration from his mother – who is a member of a radical civil rights movement and who reportedly thinks the truth behind the Battle of the Alamo is that Texans swiped Mexico’s land.

Maria del Rosario Castro, the mother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, said in 2010 that she grew up being told the battle was “glorious,” only to learn the so-called heroes were really “a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.”

“But as a little girl I got the message -- we were losers,” she told New York Times Magazine. “I can truly say that I hate that place and everything it stands for.”

You still are losers... Big losers in every possible way and the crap that comes out of your vocal hole proves it.

So what Maria is saying is that 'her people' couldn't stop a bunch of rabble-rousing drunks and ne're-do-wells?

Speaks loads for the defeated and their leadership.

Yeah, well, you won the battle but we handily won the war...and it's ours now, bitch.

Behold your future, Texas - the Alamo chapel a taqueria.

Unless something is done to staunch the flow north.

He didn’t “wow” me! Not at all!

Not that he was a Democrat....I was opened minded...believe me.

I thought that Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio were outstanding! So very outstanding!

I thought that this young guy would compare....from what I had read. He didn’t even come close.

I am sure you would all agree...or did I miss something?

“slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them”

Isn’t that what conquer means? To get land that doesn’t belong to you? huh?

The Mexicans aren’t losers to anyone else besides the Texans?

I guess it would be a waste of time to ask the illiterate ho the meaning of this:

Photobucket

It sounds like she has already been brainwashed with the bull**** communist version of American history.

You're correct. The democraps spent a lot of time building him up, both before and after his “speech”. I think they're looking for him to be the next barak obama. That's the feeling I get. They got their black in. Now they need a latino. Next a woman then a gay. I don't know where they'll go from there. Maybe try to get an alpaca elected?

Well ma'am, those drunks and crooks proceeded to kick Santa Ana's butt (the "Napoleon of the West) out of Texas.
