“‘Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis, / ‘Get some volunteers and go, / fortify the Alamo.’ / Well, the men came from Texas, / and from old Tennessee, / And they joined up with Travis, / Just to fight for the right to be free’ … That’s what TEXANS used to believe. And many of us, hopefully most of us, still do. But I’ll bet my last bottom dollar that James Talarico and his Texas Democrats don’t believe it. The question that forms the title of this article is absolutely ridiculous, of course — ridiculous to think that great men like Crockett, Bowie, William Travis, Almaron Dickenson, and approximately 180 other men, who fought and died for freedom against a corrupt military dictatorship from a country that’s now trying to overrun Texas again, it is impossible to think that such men would have given their lives for a … traitor, like James Talarico.” (11/02/26)
