I think I’ll celebrate here in Los Angeles. I always keep Texas in my escape plans. We celebrate your independence.

Still a Republic in my mind.

As Texas goes, so goes America.

Happy Birthday, Texas! Stay strong—we are counting on you to show the way.

The door’s always open for y’all conservative Californians! Come here and find out what real chili and Mexican food tastes like!

Seriously — thanks for the well wishes.

“REMEMBER THE ALAMO!” is important now due to many reasons. The cry of “REMEMBER THE CONSTUTION” should also ring loud through our nation. I am proud to be a Texian.

And never underestimate what a small group of a couple hundred can do in 15 minutes to an army of thousands, when that army is arrogant and careless. With enough passion, we can also bring about “change and hope”.

Remember San Jacinto!

The Unanimous
Declaration of Independence
made by the
Delegates of the People of Texas
in General Convention
at the town of Washington
on the 2nd day of March 1836.

“When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.”

Sounds like it time to me!
