“Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis,
‘Get some volunteers and go,
fortify the Alamo.’
Well, the men came from Texas,
and from old Tennessee,
And they joined up with Travis,
Just to fight for the right to be free…”
That’s what TEXANS used to believe. And many of us, hopefully most of us, still do. But I’ll bet my last bottom dollar that James Talarico and his Texas Democrats don’t believe it.
The question that forms the title of this article is absolutely ridiculous, of course — ridiculous to think that great men like Crockett, Bowie, William Travis, Almaron Dickenson, and approximately 180 other men, who fought and died for freedom against a corrupt military dictatorship from a country that’s now trying to overrun Texas again…it is impossible to think that such men would have given their lives for a…traitor…like James Talarico.
I’m a native Texan, and I’m absolutely appalled — and ashamed — that my home state even nominated a bottom-feeder like Talarico, much less might make him a leader in the highest political body in the United States. The thought makes me want to puke.

I love those songs. They were so “real”.
NOt a Texan but we have family there. I just don’t see how a city boy like Talarico can represent the great state of Texas. City boy is the most polite way I could describe him.
In our father’s day a guy like Talarico would have been beaten into a pulp.
And just how does this git end up with an Italian surname?
He looks as about as Italian as a polar bear.
