The cultural revolution won’t stop with the memorials to the Confederacy. That’s only the beginning. The likes of Nikki Haley and Dinesh D’Souza think what they do is on the side of the angels, it’s actually on the side of the hard left’s war on America.
Why don’t they have the guts to put these things to a public vote?
Fort Worth is a Republican run town. Or at least the elected elite have presented themselves to be such.
I want names for the next election. Why vote for a donkey dressed as an elephant when we can vote for a real jackass?
Texas won its independence from Mexico once. Don’t make us do it again.
