My Man. I am with you 98.5% of the time,
But this is Texas - what happens here changes the…..ugh. F-those a-hats in Austin. See what made me do.

This my attempt at board unification.

LOL

I guarantee there are about .7% of all Americans who even know what San Jacinto was.

to think that changed the American landscape is looking at the world through glasses made in Dallas

your yankeeness is showing.


if you don't understand how Texas being a part of the United States rather than mexico shaped the world, you need to educate yourself. one of the world's leaders in oil, but no big deal which country it sits in.

if Texas doesn't defeat mexico, it never becomes a state.


I grew up in Ohio and never even heard an utterance of San Jacinto. That's probably a failure on my part and public education. I did learn a lot about Annie Oakley though...

I introduce myself as being from Texas when traveling abroad. Nobody questions where that is.

I do this too, and they always glance at the top of my head and then look really disappointed, clearly because their first interaction with a Texan did not involve a cowboy hat.

I have never been asked about politics when I reveal that I am from Texas.

They want to know about my ranch, horses and oil wells.

Fourteen of Mexico's 23 states revolted against Santa Anna's attempt to abolish the federalist system in favor of a centralist republic (1835). They include Texas, Zacatecas, Alta California, Sonora, Tabasco, Yucatan, Coahuila, Nuevo Len, Tamaulipas, and others. Only Texas succeeded.

They may not remember the details of San Jacinto, but they know this flag.

All over the world.


Is this the Chile flag?
