ok, a shortlived independent republic, before US troops came in and siezed control.
my point stands.

View Quote

No, no, no. Your point doesn't stand![:D]

You can't consider a 'three week period of a flag' in one remote area of a land to be a republic! Or much anything else!

What was the legislature of this republic? Who was the President? Where was its capital?

C'mon, your point was weak and lame!

And Hawaii was simply an American possession by the time statehood came.

Hmmm, Colorado, isn't that where Texans go snow skiing? What else y'all got up there besides limp-wristed liberal politicos?

So you consider Glorietta Pass a victory? You [u]are[/u] a Yankee!

legrue,

Pardon me for jumping into what is rightfully your fight, but I just had to clear up some of the Hun's misconceptions. [;)]

Eric,

I've lived in Colorado all my life. And as you can tell by my screenname, I'm not at all ashamed of being called a Yankee. I seem to recall that we Yankees are 1 and 0 in wars with you southerners. [:D]

I've shared the slopes with people from all over the country and the world. And with a very few exceptions, I'd have to describe the "skiing" style of most Texans as a semi-controlled plummet, with all the grace of a land-locked penguin.

Of course, some Texans take the mountains and the possibility of altitude sickness seriously. They acclimate by getting really drunk the night before they go skiing, and generally wind up being saved by a Yankee wearing a red jacket with a white cross on the back, carrying a portable oxygen bottle. We call them Ski-Patrol, for your future reference. [;)]

Let's not forget the off-roading prowess displayed by two Texas brothers down by Silverton. They managed to get a truck and a Jeep into a place where they shouldn't have been in the first place. To their credit, and with no small amount of help from the locals, they did manage to get their vehicles back. A week later.

Yes, we have our share of liberal politicians. We also have more than our fair share of tree-hugging, bunny-kissing, bliss-ninny sheeple, but most are concentrated in Denver and Boulder, and are relatively easy to avoid. Seems to me that being cursed with liberal politicians isn't unique to Colorado. Sheila Jackson-Lee sound familiar?

BTW Eric, I hope you don't take offense at this post. Just returning a few good-natured jabs at ya. You Texans are welcome here anytime. Just remember to get enough sleep, drink enough water, and if you're having trouble breathing ask a native for help. We'll get you some supplemental oxygen. [:D]

I was born in Wisconsin, lived there for 12 years then moved to Texas. I still love WI and get back there from time to time but I am a Texan, as I have lived here for 30 years. Wouldn't leave it. The only thing I don't like about Texas are those damn Cowboys. Jerry Jones is an idiot.

I've lived in too many states to be loyal to just one:

1. Kansas
2. Missouri
3. Illinois
4. Oklahoma
5. Arkasas
6. Texas
7. New York - great for the first 6 mo. but got sick of it.
8. Oklahoma again
9. And back to Texas

10. Shacked up with a girl one summer in cali. during college break but I don't really count that one.

My first love will be Texas because of the cost of living and good gun laws.

If I had my choice based on the environment I would live in Utah. I love to hike and camp and I'm a nature freak. But No way to get a good job there.

If I was living in a state like AZ, TX or GA I would be as loyal as many of the men who fought for their states during the Civil War..
but..I'm not. I live in Kalifornia..and if anything I am hoping that the Red Chinese will be so kind as to nuke the state I am living in.

My Dad's family came from TX..so if anything I consider myself a citizen of TX. Am going to request that my body is to buried in Lisbon, TX next to my Grandparents, Great and Great-Great Grandparents.

Well, you left out a few things...

1st Colony to rebel against the Brits. (Burning of the revenue cutter HMS Gaspee)
1st Colony to declare Independance. (May 5 1776)
Home of oldest continuously operating military unit in the US (Artillery Company of Newport)
Home of the oldest continuously operating rifle club in the US, Founded by Milton W. Farrow, the Newport Rifle Club.

Newport, the City-by-the Sea. Walk the streets of the city in the summer, and meet more people from different places than if you were at the UN. Chicks from overseas can be fun. Remind me to tell you about my night aboard the [i]Churchill[/i] with its 50-woman crew.

RI has its negatives, sure. Firearms laws could be better, but we haven't had a bad one enacted in the last 14 years, and we're chipping away at the bad ones.

Seafood, sailing, world-class restaurants, millionaires and mega-yachts? New crop in every summer. I'll tell you about the disco in the [i]Trump Princess[/i] someday.

Want the dope on world events? Become a friend of one of the staff at the Naval War College.

I could go on. It's not nearly as bad as some might think from the above. RI actually has a few nice things.

Born in the UK at RAF Lakenheath.
Bounced around the country for 8 years, never anywhere longer than about a year.

Centreville, MI for the next ten, Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti for a year and a half.

California for the Corps. (Much too short, as they had to toss me out kicking and screaming).

Back to Michigan for a couple of years.

10 years in Chicago. (Glad as all get out to leave) Moved 5 times in that time.

Now in St. Louis for the last year and a half.

I live in Oregon, and its pretty cool state.
Our Liquor laws suck, and there's other laws here that pertain to just us, but all and all I can do what I please.

But Oregon is definitely on its way out, to many liberal citizens and politicians from California moving in, changing the views of many blind oregonians.

State-Wide, a trend is starting, Portland, Salem, and Eugene are all larger cities and the views of City politicians and citizens is taking over the rest of Oregon.

Oregon is not a state of big city views and its starting to happen, so I told my girl to be prepared to Move to Arizona or West Texas in the future.

I've lived in quite a few states including Alaska, as well as served in the military overseas. I've even lived in several parts of Arizona.

Having said that, everytime I come back home to northeast AZ through Heber or Flagstaff, and feel the clean fresh air from the trees and forest pass through me, I know I am home. Nothing quite like it. I can literally feel my spirit being drained from me when I've lived in Tucson, and the Phoenix area, yet when I'm in the forested areas of this state, I can feel the spirit that moves and flows in all things flowing through me.

Me, too, [b]Confederate[/b], me, too!

When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
He talked about honor and things I should know
Then he’d stagger a little as he went out the door

CHORUS:
I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Hank and Tennessee
I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be
So what do you do with good ole boys like me

Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
But you ain’t afraid if you’re washed in the blood like I was
The smell of cape jasmine thru the window screen
John R. and the Wolfman kept me company
By the light of the radio by my bed
With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head

When I was in school I ran with kid down the street
But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
But I was smarter than most and I could choose
Learned to talk like the man on the six o’clock news
When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road
But it really doesn’t matter how far I go

Do you remember that song?

There's a verse left out, do you remember how that verse went?

Anyone?

'Til Stoneman's cavalry came
and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65, we were hungry,
just barely alive
By May the tenth, Richmond had
fell, it's a time I remember oh so well

The night they drove Old Dixie
down and the bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie
down and the people were singin', they went
La-la-la, etc.

Back with my wife in Tennessee,
when one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see, there
goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now I don't mind choppin' wood,
and I don't care if the money's no good
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie
down and the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
and all the people were singin', they went
Na-na-na, etc.

Like my father before me,
I will work the land
And like my brother before me,
who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie
Down and the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie
down and all the people were singin',
they went Na-na-na, etc.

I don't really have much first-hand experience of Illinois. I've lived my whole life in a Stalinist enclave called Cook county. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Illinois, Cook county contains Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. The People's Republic of Cook County is and has been for almost 50 years, essentially a Daley-run kleptocracy. Lately I have monitored news from the United States via the internet and via a short wave radio I have hidden in the attic.

How to express my feelings for Illinois? I love my state. I love running the Wabash river and chasing trophy bucks working the edge of a corn field. I love having hog roasts and fish frys. I love that almost everybody in my hometown knows me by name and most enjoy talking to me. I love that I can still drive to my great-great grandfathers log cabin and imagine what it would have been like back then. However, I detest the over-governing, the moraly bankrupt government, the tyranical laws, the fund-raising approach to law enforcement and pretty much anything Daley has his skin head into. I love my state but hate its leadership. On a side note though, things are slowly changing for the better.

[b]I can't believe what you are trying to say![/b]

When Davy Crockett left Tennessee, he said 'y'all can go to Hell, I'm going to Texas.' He arrived here in 1835.

That Texas had changed his plans was indisputable. His last extant letter, written on January 9, 1836, was quite clear:

"I must say as to what I have seen of Texas it is the garden spot of the world. The best land and the best prospects for health I ever saw, and I do believe it is a fortune to any man to come here. There is a world of country here to settle. . . . I have taken the oath of government and have enrolled my name as a volunteer and will set out for the Rio Grand in a few days with the volunteers from the United States. But all volunteers is entitled to vote for a member of the convention or to be voted for, and I have but little doubt of being elected a member to form a constitution for this province. I am rejoiced at my fate. I had rather be in my present situation than to be elected to a seat in Congress for life. I am in hopes of making a fortune yet for myself and family, bad as my prospect has been."

He [u]became[/u] a Texan when he arrived here, you know, just like the Huns became Texans when they arrived here 14 years after Davy Crockett.

James Bowie had moved from Louisiana to Texas in 1830 and became a Mexican citizen.

Was he not a 'Texan.'

The website you cited shows that all of the native born Mexicans can be considered Texans in the same way as those who took part in the American Revolutionary War are considered Americans and not British.

They weren't 'Americans' until the War was over if you take your slant on the event!

Don't come to Texas and say shit like this!

The website you cited shows that all of the native born Mexicans can be considered Texans in the same way as those who took part in the American Revolutionary War are considered Americans and not British.

They weren't 'Americans' until the War was over if you take your slant on the event!

Don't come to Texas and say shit like this!

Well Hun, when I lived there I was told that I could never be a Texan, because I was not born there,

so I dug up this little bit of trivia to tick those Texans off that that told me that.

Worked rather well.
