Remember The Alamo, and America

   I am a Texian born in Missouri.  A Texan by choice and values.  Here I have gotten old and here I will die.  I believe in the old truths, ideals, and opinions of Texas and Texans. 
During the Alamo, Travis wrote a letter.  Here is a portion of it below.

Commandancy of the Alamo—
Bejar, Fby. 24th 1836—

To the People of Texas & all Americans in the world—

Fellow citizens & compatriots—
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained
a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man—The enemy
has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if
the fort is taken—I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves
proudly from the walls—I shall never surrender or retreat Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & every thing dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier
who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country
Victory or Death

  Texans used to stand for something.  Davy Crockett once told congress “you go to hell, I’m going to Texas.”  Has Texas been subjugated by liberals, left wingers, anti Americans, and others who do not believe is our way of life?  We do not fight back.  We lay down here and take what we are given.  We are ruled by people in Washington D.C. that think only of themselves and their purpose, a purpose that means no good to this country and is of no use.  Texas used to be a Republic.  It became a state with the understanding that if need be, we would secede from that union.  I do not know if that is still possible.  Texas has been inundated with enemies of Texas and the country.  Our capital, Austin, is considered a liberal city.  How does that happen?  It happens because fools from other states, bring ideas and plans that did not work on the west coast or in the northeast, but for some reason think they will work here.   How stupid is that?  We are surrounded with stupid  and selfish people, they breed, and they vote.

During elections, the polsters claim that how one state or another votes, there goes the country.  Here is my prediction.  Whatever happens to Texas foreshadows the life of America.

P.S.  If this offends you too bad.  I refuse to be politically correct to anyone.
