Remember the fall of The Alamo

He's got a history degree Plato. Mr. Fun's allowed to lie to further the cause of progressivism.

The trigger for Texas independence was Santa Anna tearing up the 1824 Mexican Constitution.

Dude you talking about lying and a college degree in the same sentence breaks every cynicism barometer out there...

What do you think made me so bitter and cynical in the first place?

I'm sure there's nothing more repulsive to you than me having a college degree. Hey, I worked hard and I earned it.

[kentonio]

BTW Sloww, why on earth would anyone outside of Texas want to remember this truly non-event ?

I'll always remember it, because as a kid my parents took part in a re-enactment of the Alamo, in a 50% scale version of the place.

Were they the good guys?

[kentonio]

Were they the good guys?

Yeah, the Mexicans.

[Sava]

It's disingenuous at best to say that expanding slavery wasn't a primary motivator in westward expansion. At worst, it's complete bull**** and/or complete mental retardation.

[giblets]

Most of the settlers weren't wealthy enough to even own slaves.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Sure, but when it's not your ass on the line you might want to STFU about how 'glorious' getting a bullet in your face or your limbs ripped off by shrapnel can be.

It's always "glorious" to some idiot who's never seen it or been at risk of it happening to himself. I've never yet seen or heard a single line animal of any shape or form talk about "glory" in death. If I had ever run into such a crazy mother****ing idiot, I would have have kept him in sight and well separated from my ass at all times.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Yeah, the Mexicans.

Not that I'd be inclined to take the side of the Texicans, but the Mexican army were murdering pieces of ****. Forget the Alamo, remember Goliad.

The Mexicans under Santa Anna were complete dicks, but I'm not about to miss the chance to troll Texans.

[MichaeltheGreat]

By all means, carry on.

[Alexander's Horse]

Hey Texans are okay

[Sava]

Most of the settlers weren't wealthy enough to even own slaves.

The propaganda of white supremacy does wonders in rallying white boys to fight for the wealthy.

You never let the facts get in the way of your words of wisdom do you?
