Kinda like the Conquistadors who took Mexico from the Aztecs for the Spanish Empire?
And the blood-thirsty Aztec Empire, who took it from the Tepanec??
Why is it you think that "we" = "Mexican"?
Rosie Castro, sounds more like Fidel.
It's noted that he was President on and off 7 different times in 22 years.
He was not the first caudillo (strong man), but he is credited by Leftwingtards with being the most clever.
Amazingly the Mayor's mother missed out on the part where SETTLERS were invited into Texas ~ if she thinks they stole land, then that was due to the inadequacy of the Mexican land title system.
Someone should give that woman an education or ship her out!
Must be a graduate of a school that used
Howard Zinn’s
“A People’s History of the United States”
as a primary text.
The non-judgmental, moral-equivalence, white-guilt mind-set that dominates American culture currently, continues to embolden “oppressed” “peoples of color” to not only grossly rewrite history and demand “reparations”, but to do in openly, with in-your-face arrogance.
That’s a bit hyperbolic.
If her family goes a long way back in the San Antonio area, she should research which side her ancestors took up in that conflict. From what I’ve read it was about 50/50 ... those who wanted to become part of Texas, and those who wanted Mexico to prevail.
I agree with her only to the extent that it was a classic fight over territory and dominion and that the textbooks and history make it sound like it was more than that.
Maybe she’s unaware that the defenders of the Alamo were fighting as Mexicans to restore the Mexican constitution of 1824, which the government of Antonio López de Santa Anna had thrown out in 1835. After all, the battle began before Texas declared its independence.
Many of the knights in Reconquista came from Cornwall and France ~ later on settling in Galicia.
Ithought that battele was won by General Santana
How many people do we have living off this country’s success, and yet in their heart, they hate everything it stands for? They keep coming out of the woodwork lately.
They better hope this thin veneer of civilization holds!
Seriously GFY! As if non whites should have non stop grievances against whites and they have history that is deplete from any of the very same BS they constantly whine about whites. As if whites should constantly be under some sort of microscope but other ethnicities and races are immune. Take your racial BS and cram it.
It was Davy Crockett! and Fess Parker! And tough refritos if it hurt her feelings to visit the Alamo. Means to me that she is in the WRONG country, or else she is rooting for the Bad Guys. Take your pick. History is history.
Well said.
Not to mention a COWARD who tried to avoid detection by changing out of his uniform into peasant rags, only to be exposed when one of his subjects still recognized and saluted him with "el presidente".
You are right — history doesn’t matter; facts don’t matter. FEELINGS do. Haven’t you been re-programmed yet?
This stupid ass woman owes everything she has to those bunch of drunkards. If she is so impressed with the brutal dictator she should move to that great symbol of prosperity that people are lining up in droves to get into....Mejico.
How does she feel about Santa Anna dressing up as a woman to escape San Jacinto?
