Hmmm... I wonder if this clymer is familiar with the actions of Captain Carolino Huerta?

During the Goliad Massacre, Captain Huerta directed the slaughter of 40 wounded prisoners unable to walk. He shot the commander, COL James Fannin, last after making sure he know the wounded were executed. Fannin handed his pocket watch to Huerta, requesting it be sent to his wife. He also requested the firing squad to aim at his heart and bury his body in a decent Christian manner. Fannin was shot in the face and his body dumped on a common pyre. Oh yeah, then Huerta then pocketed the dead man's watch.

A real sweetheart, that one. And this clown calls the Alamo "sinister"?

As a Texan, I was far more moved visiting La Bahia, than the Alamo.

I'm not sure why.

Texans don't trust many Mexicans for a reason. One of them is that if you have two of anything, they consider it their right to steal the extra one from you...a kind of cultural marker. Little Anglo Texans learn about this charming trait in elementary school. There are some good Mexican people, but they have to prove themselves trustworthy because there are many, many bad ones that fill our state prisons and local jails.
