People who whine about Texas’s independence and eventual annexation don’t know the actual history – they just know the narrative. Since the scope of American history is actually outside the experience of Europeans and pretty involved even with the short time span, it’s not surprising that they fall WAY off the track of fact…As a Texan, I don’t know any nationalists…though the more the Dems screw up the Federal Government, the more sympathetic I am. It sounds as though they went way out of their way to find a crazy then smeared the rest of us with him…although I’d actually have to see the clip to make a judgement. Mostly though, from what I remember of British media, it’s 40% bullsh*t, 40% tabloid crap, and 10% irrelevant information.
