I used to co-own property down in Houston with a Canadian partner. The texans used to call him a Yankee..as he tried to explain that he wasn't, but in the eyes of the world, they were. Dumb as cement. So you want to invade NY...do you need a map showing where I95 is?
Texas beat Mexico...lost to the North in the civil war, and is being reclaimed by Mexico...says alot about dumb and dumber.
OH boy I love it! Civil War on FreeRepublic!
Mexico had an Army bigger than the US at that time. At the time of the civil war, most of what is now Texas, wasn't even settled. It consisted of a few counties along the Golf. There wasnt' much fighting in Texas, only a couple of minor battles. If Texas was in charge of the borders, instead of Washington DC, there be no reclaiming, such as it.
It seems to me though that the immigrants to Texas, even the illegals, do a lot better job of becoming Americans, than those that choose to go to California. Ain't nobody talking about Aztlan around here. If they did, those Hispanics whose ancestors were here when Austin arrived to form Gringo colonies would beat them to a bloody pulp. They don't want to become Mexicans. Nor do the descendents of more recent immigrants, legal or illegal.
"I used to co-own property down in Houston"
"Used to", Good riddance.
"do you need a map showing where I95 is?"
Nope.
Do you mind terribly much if I smoke a cigarette in NYC City Hall once we're done?
"Texas beat Mexico...lost to the North in the civil war, and is being reclaimed by Mexico...says alot about dumb and dumber."
That, Sir, was astounding idiocy.
Actually, Texas was the last state of the confederacy still standing on its own at the end of the war, largely because Texas defended her borders against virtually all yankee invasion attempts. They laid down their arms simply because it wasn't practical to continue the war anymore with all the other southern states and the confederate government having fallen. Considering how badly yankeeland got whupped a year earlier on two different tries to enter Texas, y'all should be thanking us.
New Yorkers voted for Hillary Clinton. Texans rule the world.
