When Texas secedes, we’re leaving Austin behind.

Oh, not bigger and better plans are in store for the liberals of Austin than leaving them behind. No sir, not going to leave them behind.

I’m sure that will help all those Black students who are admitted and never graduate from UT.

Talk about insensitive. Why is that tower still there after it tag-teamed with that evil rifle?

When he finishes the border fence, Trump should build another around Austin, thus quarantining them so the rest of the state is not infected with their ungodly ideology. We wouldn’t send our one-eyed mule to UT for fear he’d turn gay.

If they are going to do it, why let them stop at a silly statue? Might as well also ban the entire Democrat Party from the campus. Seriously, the Dems fought for slavery, were home to the KKK, enacted all of the Jim Crowe laws, and fought against the civil rights movement. President Wilson Segregated the military. Better Ban him. President Roosevelt put the Japanese in camps. Better ban him. Governor Fulbright was a know racist and President Clinton’s mentor. Better ban both of those guys too. In other words, don’t stop this silly movement, push hard to keep in going to its very logical conclusion....the elimination of all liberal symbols including the entire party itself...he he he....

Texas has rolled over and buried its Southern Heritage all along. George W. Bush as governor removed plaques that were on the walls of the Capitol building in Texas that were dedicated to the Confederate dead from Texas. Our country is being destroyed by illegal aliens and a vocal minority that most have little or no education with respect to history.

Well, that should stop the execution of white police officers and news reporters by black people.

We see what happens when liberals get in control. The south was right. This country sadly mostly represents the stealing of money or as they call it redistribution. Obviously the insiders fear the South. The law was on the souths side.
