Since I shopped in Texas a few times, can't I be a Texan, too?

It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

You guys are right, Sam Houston was born in Virginia, I looked it up right after I posted and saw I was wrong. Shoulda looked it up BEFORE I posted.
Some of Texas was a province of Mexico.

When Sam was born there was no Mexico either. It was Nuevo Espana.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
LOL, exactly the same.

Should Texas proclaim it's independence?
It is bigger than France, more populous than Australia. I say we Texans proclaim our independence again and become masters of our own destiny.![]()
I don't think it'd work...Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat

My credentials: born well south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Us Southerners already tried that once - seceding from the Union. It didn't work too well the first time around, so I think we ought to think it over for a few centuries before trying again.Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat

I had a Texas Double Whopper for lunch today
I always liked the music TV show Austin City Limits, and I spent a year one weekend, in El Paso years ago (long,confusing story involving booze, hookers, airplanes, shoes and billiards).
Am I in?
So your plan is to physically push off from Oklahoma, NewMexico, old Mexico, Arkansas & Louisiana... until Texas floats free in the Gulf?Originally Posted by Strike For The South
Brilliant. I'll take the part that borders Las Cruses, NM. Let me know when to start pushing. Meanwhile, I'll just drink these handy Miller Genuine Draft Beers that seem to have magically appeared (note: am I gonna hafta switch to Lone Star beer now?).
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
