While its overall relevence may be questioned at this point (but I do not believe it will be in the long run because as more Americans see it and are made aware of the true nature and extent of the problem, which that flag raising punctuates, they will be motivated to act), it is still a highly affrontive and disgraceful act on its own.

I brought up the Alamo because Don'tMessWithTexas was implying that 12 million illegals were too many to deport and thus, we should simply surrender and allow them to become citizens.

The relevence of the Alamo is that back then, Texans didn't think twice about defending their lands, even against insurmountable odds, even if it meant giving their lives to do so.

Now, they willingly surrender. Or, at least that's my take on Bush's and Don'tMessWithTexas's stance.

I do not believe Texas is "surrendering".

As a native-Texas, even though I now live in Idaho, I can tell you that that is not going to happen.
