I understand the love of one’s home. That’s not something that is unique to Texas.
The fact that Rick Perry is from Texas is thin reason to support him. After all, LBJ was from Texas as well.
That statement just shows you don't have a clue what Texas is about. Texas is much more than home.
One of my ancestors was born in Texas During the Republic. When the Civil War ended he was in a prison camp in NY. He walked home to Texas from NY. Oral traditions are very much a part of Texas. Some things history books will never record.
