    Hmmm...you once repped me for being kind to Houstunnin. Last time I checked, that kid is a minority. Just because someone disagreed with you politically does not make him a racist. You lefties have been dealing the race card from the bottom of the deck but it just simply won't work anymore.

    Come Nov 7th, your beloved B Kardashian will be a distant memory along with all the lefty trash.We will take this country back from you demonic people.

    And watch that temper Batman, I know you have some serious health issues.

    Your unintentionally ironic statements have been the height of hilarity lately, it's like you have no self awareness at all, please keep it up!

    As the true Texan patriot you are, how do you feel about the fact that Castro's mother thinks the Texas revolutionaries were drunks and crooks?

    Or it could mean he didn't get a serious challenger as he was an incumbent that wasn't screwing up. For example, Bill White got 91% and 87% during his 2nd and 3rd term, but he really wasn't running against anyone.

    Edit: Then he ran for Gov and got dealt with.

    I don't how others feel, but Texas history is a total farce--the victors get to write the history books! Myself and many other educated friends (who grew up in TX and endured the painful year of TX history/fantasy in middle school) hold similar views as, ahem, Mother Castro.

    You're the ****ing moron that wants to physically assault Thadeus on the streets. You're the only one here with health issues.

    Let's see.
    Mexico gave us cheap land to settle as long as we pledged ourselves to Mexico and then we just said screw them and took their land.

    Or do you want to go on a broader scale on how we Americans killed hundreds of thousands of Indians because it was a "god-given right" a.k.a manifest destiny.

    Victors write the history books. All patriotism and nationalism does it lead to unnecessary conflict. I am a member of the human race first, America second.

    When you can't attack the man, go after his mom.

    Real stand up of you.

    I care far less about that than Castro's ideas for how to get San Antonio, Texas, and the United States back on track. You know, policy over puffery. I know that concept is foreign to you, but that is your choice, not mine.

    Seriously, whatever you think of his speech, he hasn't done squat for San Antonio. Rape, aggravated assault, unsolved murders are all on the rise and the education system continues to be one of the worst in the state--three years after he campaigned on crime and education. In an era of empty chairs. . . .

    They were all of those things and worse; Santa Anna was just a war criminal and a crappy President, and proved that more against his own people down the road.

    Other than Houston, Burnet and Austin I'd put Sul Ross, Captain King and Ross Sterling on more of a pedestal than some of those guys.

    You know nothing about the history why I wanted to kick Thadeus' ass. Go away little annoying Asian pinko wannabe and quit following your caucasian dad around.

    Why are you bringing people's ethnicity and race into your attempted put-down?

    The guy is a pig. I have him on ignore and only saw his posts because you quoted him. You might want to ignore him as well. There's a noticeable decrease in the stench around here when you do. I also reported the post where he called you an "annoying Asian pinko wannabe." Racists like him, IMO, have no place on this board.

    Look at who you are talking to:

    Why even engage him if he already sees you as demonic? Don't try to have a rational conversation with someone who clearly is off their rocker.
