man's flag confiscated for a day for flying it upside-down.

Dallas County and Harrison County always vote for the democrats, while the rest of the state besides El Paso county votes republican. We dont even include El Paso, there isnt a single texan living there, its overun with illegals and green cards, and immigrants from Mexico, so no true Texans there. A real Texas is a Texan that there family has been here more than 4 generations

A real Texan is someone who lives in Texas.

I include El Paso as a part of Texas.

Actually, everything to do with the American flag is a matter of etiquitte, not law.

I really get a kick out of "patriotic" people who turn it into clothing, which is clearly in violation of the etiquitte.

I do agree with you there. But what chaps my hide even more are businesses that utilize the flag in advertising, as if to say "Hey, we're a proud American business, so shop here instead of 'there' because they're clearly anti-American."

 

[Zack]

well honestly im ashamed to say your in Texas, though id never bestow you the honor of Texan

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.

What the hell is a true Texan?

A real Texan takes pride in our history, and our struggles. You can live here, and not be a Texan. Also a Texan can only be a native, if you wernt born here you are not a Texan unless the Govenor calls your an honory Texan for some deed you have done.

If you dont care about the history and take no pride in the state you are simply from Texas but are no Texan.

A real Texan would be an American first.

I want to call this 'cowboy chivalry.'

Exactly. Not a Confederate.

Poe's law on candle. No one could hold all of those contradictory views all at once. That, or he is an absolute moron.

Just saying.

Nothing better than having pride in things that are totally arbitrary.

not really, a real texan puts texas ahead of all but god, followed by his family, followed by America. A texan would and should be willing to sacrafice everything he holds dear and loves for the Republic of Texas.

The Republic of Texas hasn't been around for 150 years.

So what you are saying is that a real Texan is a traitor?

 

[candle]

if it comes down to it, a real Texan will side with Texas in a sucession attempt

The Republic of Texas hasn't been around for 150 years.

its around still to this day, as a small but growing force of those that want to see Texas restored as a nation with our original boarders. They came about right as Sam Houston signed us over, these guys became a reality. the Republic of Texas is a government in exile for now

 

[Cutlass]

Good riddance. Anyone who feels that way just isn't good enough to be an American. So leave. But you can't have the land. That's American land, first, last, and always.

So

The Republic of Texas is dead.
