I was raised in Europe but have been here for 30 years.
Although I come from a Country that in my youth was free from war or occupation, I truly understand the sentiments of that writer.
I love America with a deep passion, I recognize her greatness and her imperfections, it pains me to hear from people I know the same words of Rev. Wright. Maybe they should travel more the world and see first hand where freedom and opportunities are denied the citizens.
Texans have a double dip of nationalism. Texas was a Republic before it was a state, and was born of a Revolution very much like the American Revolution.
The Texas Revolution was from 1835-1836, much more recent than the one from 1775–1783.
There are those in the state who today suggest secession. I want no part of that nonsense, but want the whole thing back from the Marxists.
Those who wish to destroy us, have no idea what they are unleashing.
However this plays out, Texas will not be subjected. Most of the U.S. will not. Some pockets would gladly accept a despot, they are traitors to the rest of us.
