Even our pick up trucks have balls
Thats cool to know, I honestly did not know that.... Thanks!
I've had a mind to trace back my family history for a while now.... My aunt (my fathers sister) did it a while back and traced our family lineage as far back as the early 16th century but unfortunately a house fire destroyed all her work and she gave it up....
Im thinking of taking up the cause again and retrace it all. My family has been involved with quite a few major points in time from what I remember of what she had found out. At the time I was too young to care, unfortunately.
It's kind of funny to think that my family has history with the Masons though, I've always wondered if that would get me some kind of access to them but never pursued it.

Not to toot our Texas horn, but if America was invaded by a foreign country, Texas would still stand.... I think guns outnumber our population in Texas 3:1 at least, and thats a conservative number on my part.
Id feel sorry for any foreign invading army if they tried to take Texas.
In San Antonio alone:
Brooks Air Force base
Lackland Air Force Base
Camp Bullis
Fort Sam Houston
And thats not counting all us crazy Texans that are packing large ammounts of heat. , just between me and my friends, we could probably take out a small army with the weapons and ammo we have.
For those that doubt Texas is packing....
7 Air Force Bases
7 Army Posts
2 Coast Guard bases
3 Navy Bases
0 Marines......... Because we are Texans!

I ing hate those things with a very strong passion. The metal ones, the fleshy looking ones, doesn't matter. The absolute most corny, tackiest, baggy thing I've ever seen
Texas has the Spurs and Spurs=class. That's all anyone needs to know.
How many slaves did your family own if you can trace back that far?Thats cool to know, I honestly did not know that.... Thanks!

How many of your family fought on the Confederate side of the Civil War over "state's rights"?
There is a downside to not being the child of immigrants.
Texans are proud because theyre allowed to be. Just the same as anywhere else, but with a stupid accent, large hats and apparently trucks with balls attached to the hitch.
Dont proclaim to be so proud of your history only to piss on it every chance you get.
The above is why Texas reverted to independent governance when the US split up into the old USA east of the Mississippi and the new Allied States of America in the west in the tv show Jericho.

The season/series ended with Jake trying to get the last nuclear bomb to Texas (to the government in San Antonio!) as proof that the evil J&R corporation and the Allied States leadership were behind the nuclear bombs across America. He was rescued by fighter jets from Lackland.
SFIE and I were completely whooping it up when this all went down, because it was so funny.
You mean life on the reservation?
I am not and never will be a fan of the Alamo.
If Texas were to ever somehow secede from the Union, Texas would be packing exactly zero of those bases.For those that doubt Texas is packing....

Bunch of racist, en led hicks squatting on Mexican land, claiming it for themselves only to be murdered shortly thereafter. I don't know why people remember it any differently.
I remember being a huge fan when I was a kid.
SFIE and I visited again when we were on vacation, celebrating our annviersary; probably about 20 years since my last visit. I remember walking around, reading the letters and things and thinking "Wow. My perspective on this has shifted tremendously. I'm not so sure I could really side with these guys if I had to pick a side now. . ."
Very different view of history as an adult.
lol ty has-been ghost town
hey, at least you've got that 8 Mile song to be proud of
gr8 take after DarkReign ripped apart Texas natives blind with pride
I love Texas because we have no state tax.
Go, Texas!
It is the birthplace of beloved actor Bruce McGill. So all you other states right in your Bruce McGill-less assholes.
Bruce McGill is in your asshole?
Point taken, but I was talking about them white folks who can trace their roots to early colonists. It means your ancestors owned slaves in this country and most likely abused them mercilessly into a very early death.
If your family is Southern based, then your ancestors most likely fought and killed their countrymen for the right to own human beings.
Its neither here nor there in 2011, really what can you do about what folks from the past did?
But my ancestry wouldnt be something I'd go around bragging about either.
That particular truck happens to be from Californ-i-ay
then I bet theyre fake
So what say you about the folks that are descendent from Mexicans and Germans? My ancestors were not slave owners, and many a proud Mexican fought against Santa Anna. My German heritage is very recent too.
But the one thing that gets lost in the whole Texas Revolution history is that the white man was the illegal immigrant in Texas. Mexico originally allowed them to come into and settle in Texas, but when too many of them arrived, they cut them off and only allowed them into other territories in Mexico. The white man ignored the new laws and continued settling anyway, illegally. Sound familiar?
You will never see me representing Michigan/Detroit to the lengths at which the stereotype Texan would.
Am I proud? Sure. Just not loud and proud or that its some badge of honor that I never earned.
