If Texas intends to secede from the union, will it become a "free" or "slave" state?

They are working a hard left for the Blue.

I know from experience that you have to pass Texas History to graduate, and these idiots should know better than to call up a mercenary from Tennessee for their traitorous behavior.

These idiots are really scary

In other words, not this:

back to the Native Americans.

"Hey Wendy Davis! When you're in Dallas, drive thru Dealey Plaza! I DARE YA!!!!"

Crockett's dealings with Native Americans at the Massacre at Tallasehatchee:

We now shot them like dogs; and then set the house on fire and burned it up with the forty-six warriors in it. I recollect seeing a boy who was shot down near the house. His arm and thigh were broken, and he was so near the burning house that the grease was stewing out on him. In this situation he was still trying to crawl along; but not a murmur escaped him, though he was only about twelve years old...

...It was somehow or other found out that the house had a potato cellar under it, and immediate examination was made, for we were all as hungry as wolves. We found a fine chance of potatoes in it, and hunger compelled us to eat them though I had a little rather not, if I could have helped it, for the oil of the Indians we had burned up the day before, had run down on them and they looked like they had been stewed with fat meat.

This picture of Tennessee 'Christians' eating potatoes cooked in the flames of the Indians burning in the house, and stewed in the grease which had oozed from the Indian bodies is one of the most ghastly incidents furnished by the records of "glorious war."

Some historians have suggested this act approached cannibalism.

Some hero of Texas and 'Godly Christian' that Crockett.... keep following him Republicans. We know how he ended up.

Disney's Davyyyyyy DAVY CROCKETT king of the wild frontier.

skin color. They just cannot stand that a black man is president.

But, what is it that foments all of this hatred? You have a certain segment of society that doses themselves daily with Fox News, Matt Drudge, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al. The willful cognitive dissonance of these people is astounding. All they hear each and every day is who to hate, who to blame, who to be afraid of and who to point the finger at as the cause of each audience member's problems. They really don't have any more or less amount of problems that anyone else does, left, center or right. But, the ones listening and watching these Chicken Littles believe every word. What they don't realize is that they are simply exploited victims of the oldest, most tried and true business model the world has ever known... fear and smear. And of course they make tens of millions of dollars every year from it.

I believe it is time for a concerted effort to totally and absolutely discredit these charlatans for what they are; un-American, unpatriotic, unfeeling, uncaring, inhuman, inhumane and only care about their own self-aggrandizement.

Watching the most recent rendition of the Alamo saga was one of the biggest reasons for the Texas Revolution was Santa Anna outlawed slavery.

how much longer do we have to put up with these FREAKS?

I have a constant upset stomach if I listen to a republican these days.

the hell out of my country you KKK loving , Psycho Confederate criminals .

it's not 100% GOP down here, right?

And no, I refuse to leave the state that is my Home, the state that I love, for reasons other than the politics. No, you didn't say (yet) that I should leave, but I see that "answer" all the time on DU, as if the best way to fight the GOP is to Run Away!!!

They take their attitude from the national party, which has written off Texas yet again---lost cause, better chance at winning in other states, etc., etc., etc.

Good response, kentauros. I'm sticking around, as well.

Maybe in the future Texas Dems can take over the DNC/DLC and show them what a spine is, and how to fight.

Everyone in Texas is not a right wing loonie. I wasn't born here but chose to make it my home. These assholes aren't running me out.

Every state has its assholes. I'm sure those living in the PNW would just love to have the eastern halves of their states secede from the western halves. Clean your own house before you trash ours.

Fuck the Alamo.

At the Alamo, all the Texans died.

"bi-partisanship" with these hate-filled fools. Beyond disgusting.

Crockett was almost a communist. He saw the people on the frontier dirt poor and with high debts and pushed for a law to abolish those debts. He was popular so the attacks against him basically had to be on his ability to get that law passed. He barely list his lost election and only headed for Texas for it promised the possibility of fame and election when he returned to his old district.

As to the war with Native Americans, one of the reason voters liked him was he could be brutally honest, thus his report about what happened in the war with the Creeks. War is nasty and he reported it as such. He did not white wash the bad, he reported it.

and deluded IDIOTS. How this country made it this far is anyone's guess.

I am so sick and tired of these right-wingers always refering to Obama as a "tyrant" or a "dictator". Those dolts obviously have no freakin' clue what those words mean. I'd love to tell them that IF Obama was a "tyrant" Fox News and all talk radio stations would be shut down and the wingnuts would all be in prison or dead. (Hmmm, actually that's not a bad idea! No, wait, sorry that was mean. My bad.) Anyway, as I was saying, these morons love to act like they are freedom fighters fighting against a despot when in reality they are a bunch of racist know-nothings who have delusions of grandeur. I just have one thing to say to them---"Get a life!"

Or whose party's name ends in "con."

Idiot. Our party's name is the Democratic Party. Live with it, leather vest.

I mean besides me?

we have to defeat Mexico.

Mexican War 1846: United States defeated, forced to annex Texas.

Mexican Revolution Intervention 1917: United States defeated, forced to retain Texas.

Wolf

Obama"
