Yes. Texas is not where you were born, but a State of Mind, Heart and Attitude.

Some of my ancestors were born in Texas during “The Republic”. But none the less, the above statement is still true. We are Texans not because of birth but because of loyalty to each other.

Similar to this. “Born American but in the wrong place”

Some things never change, especially amoung people who love freedom, and defy tyrannts.

Even though I was born and raised in Iowa, and I’ve never been to Texas, I feel I have a lot more in common with Texan’s beliefs and their value system than I do with these darn Yankees!

So true. Of course this Connecticut Yankee loves his heritage and as a bonus any State that can give us both Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter can't be all bad! Now I am off to the River Walk with the rest of my motley crew for some fine Texas cuisine and adult beverages. Will hoist one to the spirit of the Alamo.
