On This Date in 1836
Remember the Alamo!

Remember the Alamo! Long live the Republic of Texas!
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

300th anniversary of the Alamo this year I believe. Went to SA in January. A lot of history there that some Texans don’t even know about.

Re: On This Date in 1836
My brain works strangely at times, or so I have been told.
Today is the 182nd anniversary of the date of the fall of Alamo. Interestingly, today is not the 182nd anniversary of the 13th day of the siege. 1836 was a leap year, so February had 29 days. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the 13th day of the siege. March 6 is the date of the fall of Alamo, so today we celebrate the lives and deaths of those Texicans who came before us.

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

I celebrate the sacrifices of the men who gave me a place to call home.
