Yeah, that's not a great picture to post along with the words, "Remember the Alamo".
To: South40
I see that you understand the irony of a Texan surrendering the SW United States to the Mexicans.
Sad.
Wish he cared about my opinion as much as he cares about law-breaking Mexicans.

George Bush was not born in Texas.

No kidding.

Thank you for this account. I am impressed by how accurately John Wayne's beautiful movie version of the story reflects the actual history, you have recounted. Hopefully, it will not be replaced in the public mind, by whatever Disney is about to release. John Wayne was all of the patriotic things that Michael Eisner is not.
This Ohioan has only the greatest respect for the heroic birth of Texas. May she always have sons and daughters who mean to preserve her.

Mexican army had already advanced into the state From what I read in the border reports, they're still doing it, with no comment from the White House and no opposition this time.

I wonder what portion of American sovereignty, language and culture Bush agreed to destroy in that particular meeting?

Check out the "
Twin Sisters", Ohioan. A pair of cannon given to Texas from Ohio emboldened Sam Houstons army, turned the tide of battle, and led to the 18 minute rout of Santa Anna's army in
the battle of San Jacinto and Texas independence.

I hear that Kerry was near the Alamo today and spoke about our soldiers.

My sincerest thanks. I am not sure what the branch of my family, which was in Cincinnati at the time was engaged in, but hopefully they had a hand in this gift to the brave people of Texas. But, whatever! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Hopefully the Twin Sisters will someday be relocated, and will stand as a monument to the proud service, they represented.

George Bush was not born in Texas.Through no fault of his own. Neither were David Crockett or most of the heroes who died at the Alamo. Nor was John Wayne (born an Iowa native and remained one all his life). Fess Parker, on the other hand, was a Texan by birth.
