True. So Cruz’s campaign dies so that he can, what? Allow Yeb to beat Trump?

Sad if true.

I am not big on calling people out for their religious hypocrisy. At all. BUT, Ted says he’s a SOUTHERN BAPTIST (Though many say he’s a “DOMINIONIST”, which his father---who has called Ted “The Anointed One”---claims to be; or even a Mormon, as he stood by while Glenn Beck recited Mormon-specific references, applying them to Cruz, That Cruz is the “raising of the priests” and the fulfillment of the “prophecy of the White Horse.” Or a Seventh Day Adventist, as his wife, Heidi, who has more than once referred to Ted as “The Face Of God.”)

I am Southern Baptist, raised that way. Let me tell you, Southern Baptist are very loosey goosey when it comes to what it accepts or allows in each affiliate congregation (for example, some can dance, some cannot.) BUT….THREE THINGS are not acceptable ANYWHERE to Southern Baptists: GAMBLING, DRINKING, and NOT TITHING:

Re” The Alamo....

The battle lasted ~ 15 minutes. Given the weapons of the era I seriously doubt that ~150 Texicans killed 2.000 Mexicans in that period of time. Those guys got seriously steamrolled and their sacrifice’s utility was nothing more than the propaganda value of the “Remember the Alamo!” phrase. They weren’t much of a speed bump.

The “Yellow Rose” of Texas provided more value in “distracting” Santa Ana” from properly addressing the Battle of San Jacinto.

I wondered reading the article if he was real aware of Texas history. Bad analogy I think.

The last battle was 15 minutes. There were attacks throughout the week.

Losses on the Mexican side were very heavy.

he Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States), killing all of the Texian defenders. Santa Anna’s cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians—both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States—to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution.

In the early morning hours of March 6, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. After repulsing two attacks, the Texians were unable to fend off a third attack. As Mexican soldiers scaled the walls, most of the Texian soldiers withdrew into interior buildings. Defenders unable to reach these points were slain by the Mexican cavalry as they attempted to escape. Between five and seven Texians may have surrendered; if so, they were quickly executed. Most eyewitness accounts reported between 182 and 257 Texians died, while most historians of the Alamo agree that around 600 Mexicans were killed or wounded.

Most Alamo historians place the number of Mexican casualties at 400–600.[2][3][4] This would represent about one-third of the Mexican soldiers involved in the final assault, which Todish remarks is “a tremendous casualty rate by any standards”.[2

“Er, does Cruz know what happened at the Alamo? I presume he doesn’t think he’s Santa Anna.”

He does like to bring Teddy Bears to illegals.

“My neighborhood is going through a renovation frenzy. There’s a huge number of South-of-the-border day laborers on my block the last two years.”

Not here ;) We’re having an addition and deck put on and the nicest white English-speaking southerners showed up. We escaped Mexifornia and chose this rural part of Tennessee on purpose, since it will probably be one of the last invaded areas.

One of the roofers looked questionable, so after that we said only those that can provide proof of the right to work legally in the US could work on our house. Hasn’t been a problem. We tried that in Mexifornia - companies wouldn’t even talk to us. All they hired was illegals. I make it my personal mission to tell everyone how bad the invasion could be if they allowed it to happen.

Given he thinks his home state is Florida, it’s easy to see his confusion.
