"Remember this about the Alamo: Next time I, General John Houston tell you not to try and defend the Alamo, you f*#king listen. Capice? Goddamned f*#king hard-headed, ignorant, non-order-following glory seekers. Santa Anna f*#ked you good.
How hard was it to just burn the supplies and retreat like I told you to? If you had done that, we could have cut Santa Anna's army to pieces by the time they started starving from our scorched earth tactics. But no, that f*#khead wino Ben Milam had to say, "Who will go with me to the Alamo?" and then what happened? He got his f*#king head shot off by a cannon ball. But did that omen tell you anything? Apparently not.
Do what the f*#k I say next time."
General John Houston

Patrick,, good for you.
but your full of shite.. D Boone did not kill Indians "at will"...
And the Alamo? Yes,, i went there as a small kid, and remember putting my fingers in the round ball holes left from that famous battle. Kinda chilling really.. It took 18 minutes for Sam Houston to defeat that army that took the alamo -shortly after. That is still a stunning victory to this day. I believe their cry was ,, "remember the Alamo"...

Yes Ron, it was a victory of sort. And well, a moving point in history.
So was this:
The Battle of Thermopylae
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae
As far as I am concerned, let Texas secede. Good riddance, cretins.
Is it time for a revolution?
“Every generation needs a new revolution.” Thomas Jefferson
EDIT
I agree though with a previous poster, Austin is cool, maybe we can make a deal with the secessionists, Austin stays as an US enclave.

Jim Bowie was a knife fighter with a fearsome reputation. His signature move was to disembowel his opponent. Nice guy. Had a really good cornbread recipe, too.
One time I was eating some of his corn bread with warm goat milk and I think I must have offended Jim in some way, perhaps a slight inflection in the pronunciation of his mother's maiden name, I don't know. Well of course he disemboweled me.
But I simply reached into my steaming intestines and stomach and removed that still-warm cornbread and ate it again.

I cannot tell a lie. It is so.
Now doesn't that make you wish you lived in Texas now? It's a different sort of living, but it stays with you.

stich,
i've always wondered sumpthin, maybe you could give me the answer?
edit: was jim bowie left or right handed?
b'cuz, fess parker cudn't seem to make up his mind what he was in 'the alamo' flick.
that was the 'sumpthin' that i noticed as a kid (when i first saw the movie).
but, maybe he was amberdextrious (or whatever they call it, eh?)!

I'm already in Colorado, but thanks for the invitation to immigrate from Texas. All of my family moved back to Louisiana as well, so that's fine, too.
Just got done chatting with an absolutely lovely lady in Austin who got a part in a production of Richard II at a little Shakespeare theater along the shores of Lake Austin called the Curtain. Yes, people in Texas not only know about Shakespeare they actually build theaters like his Globe Theater. So if you are in Austin, go check it out.

OK, back to the subject of secession. As you have read earlier, other states have their own collection of kooks that also file the same petitions to seceed from the Union. Why does Texas' kook GET SO MUCH PRESS?
I'll tell you why. You love us. You love to HATE us. You love Rick Perry. You want to go have a beer with him and pray over his classic 1955 printing of the Scofield Bible. Face it. You have a Texas fetish.
What other explanation is there?
So go get some help. You sickos.
