Leading academics, archivists and others are criticizing efforts by Texas officials to claim ownership of part of a historical collection at the Alamo that’s considered one of the state’s most important treasures.

In a letter sent Friday to General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush, the group argues that the private library maintained by the nonprofit Daughters of the Republic of Texas is one of the finest research facilities in the state. The letter notes the library houses about 38,000 items, from books, maps and flags to paintings, manuscripts and other artifacts.

The letter contends that the General Land Office’s claim of ownership “would set an untenable precedent that would potentially impact the ownership of every Texas museum and library collection acquired through donations.” Among those who signed the letter was former Texas state archivist David B. Gracy II, who said the state agency doesn’t have the expertise to manage the archives.

“There’s nothing in the functioning of the (Daughters of the Republic) library that suggests that it needs to be taken over by anybody,” Gracy said.

A spokeswoman for the state agency declined comment, citing a pending lawsuit filed by the Daughters over the issue.

Florida-born anchor baby George P. Bush's jihad against the Daughters of the Republic of Texas continues.

All.

Bushes.

GTFO.

And Mr. Gracy is correct.

As near as I can tell each and every one in this little nuclear family is a known petty criminal, de facto if not de jure. Why are we still afflicted with these Republican Kennedys?

That’s what happens when Texans entrusted the states history to a Mexican.

Are they going to ask for Phil Collins to let all his go? He owns lots of artifacts.

[jimbo123]

George P is planning to send the confiscated Alamo artifacts to Carlos Slim back in Mexico as the spoils of victory.

[Army Air Corps]

He has already donated a significant number of them.

TX voted for P because he had a R.
No more carpet baggers please.

My tag line is true.

This is similar to what is happening to the Museum of the Confederacy which is being rolled into a ‘Diversity’ project called the National Civil War Museum which has already let it be known that their emphasis is on SLVERY,< SLAVERY,< SLAVERY.

The same stunt was attempted a few years ago by the wretched “Ogden Museum of (Un)Soutern Art” to grab the building and collections of the New Orleans Confederate Memorial Museum (a collection in some ways superior to the MOC)

The squalid mayor of New Orleans is determined to remove the Lee statue and rename Lee Circle as his permanent mark on the city of New Orleans.

All of these creeps are busy trying to culturally cleanse our history.

According to Cohen, Bush--wearing black shorts and no shirt--arrived at the residence and “went to his daughter’s bedroom window,” pulled it open, and “pushed the screen inward.” As Bush was “climbing in the window,” Murry Cohen awoke and spotted the trespasser. A neighbor of the Cohens also spotted Bush trying to get into the residence and began to argue with him.

Young Mr. Bush was lucky Mr. Cohen did not shoot him.

I thought Phil Collins owned all Alamo artifacts?

I enjoyed voting against him even though I knew there were enough morons in the state to get him elected.
