They wish to rewrite History and use less politically charged words and consider it was only a siege and that The Texas Battle at the Alamo for Independence needs toning down with new demographics of voters in Texas!

Removing the word ?heroic? to describe those who protected the Alamo was among the items included in a report penned by an advisory panel to the State Board of Education on how to structure the curriculum, Dallas News reported on Friday.

As it stands now, curriculum phrasing of the topic is the ?siege of the Alamo and all of the heroic defenders who gave their lives there,? according to the outlet.

    I would not call them "Stupid Americans". I would just call them Stupid, because they sure as hell are not Americans.

    but yet the congresmen and senators call each other heroes, to the point it has no meaning nowdays. Those folks at alamo were real HEROES the knew going in they weren't getting out. the way they throw that word around at each other today makes me sick....[xx(]

    History is written by the victors. The Marxists have taken over our entire education system, they win, we lose!

    This was written fifteen years ago; a lifetime in today's world. It is a long read but what the heck else are you doing today?

    Jim Bowie will be portrayed as a psychopathic raycist slave owner. The men from TN will be labeled uneducated rednecks out for the fun of killing innocent Mexicans and ensuring TX is a slave state.

    The war for independence from Mexico will be looked at as a raycist group who wanted to preserve slavery in Tx because Mexican Pres Vicente Guerrero(the first Bl*ck Pres in a North American Country, Sorry Barry) had outlawed in 1829.

    I can see it all now. The forward will be written by Lenord Pitts who can find raycism in a can of tuna fish[xx(] And the afterward by Messy Jesse Jackscoon who will extort millions from the publisher.

    We all knew it would not stop with the War of Northern Aggression stuff, that was only the beginning,, They are already attacking the founding of the country, Columbus has to go,,They are attacking the Founding Fathers, Anything and everything that made this Country is offensive to them.

    Yep. And if all these Heroes were black, and US white people wanted to denounce them, they would have a conniption fit.

    You don't think so? Denounce Malcolm X,, Obama or Martin Luther King and see what happens

    Those people from way down South are always quick to talk about how how they defeated the hero's of the Alamo, but you never hear them talk about the battle of San Jacinto where we defeated Santa Anna's Mexican army in just 18 minutes.

    Any way one wants to look at the Battle of the Alamo, you must conclude that the defenders were in fact heroes defined by whatever definition of hero considering that 260 Texican defenders were facing 1800 Battle hardened Mexican regulars.

    The defenders knew that there would be no quarter given as announced by Santa Anna buglers playing ?El Deg?ello". The defenders could have left but they stayed to allow Sam Houston time to get his stuff together at San Jacinto.

    Rewriters of our history really chap my *.

    I think we should take all these cry baby non American ding bats and move them all to a nice tropical Island so they can make their own country instead of trying to bring ours down.


    The Island I have in mind is that one we used to test nukes on. Great location and peaceful.
