"That kind of talk ought to rally Texas conservatives, with the "get off my land" attitudes so prevalent over the past, oh, 170 years."

Had Ron Paul been at the Alamo:

"Davy, the Mexicans have legitimate grievances. If we all move back to Tennessee, they won't attack us."

[John Leland 1789]

I don’t see Texas in Sam Houston’s and Davy Crockett’s day being anything comparable to Iraq, however. I think your analogy is quite strained. Quite strained, especially now that the same neighbor is an enemy to U.S. borders and sovereignty, and proves it on a daily basis.

I don’t know where my son found the information, but——
there were several Texans, born in Mexico, that fought at the Alamo.

There is a list of names of those who were in the Alamo battle.

One might be able to find the list on the internet.

It is not wildly known or covered.

Thought you might like to know.
