LaGrange, Texas
Last week, we chatted about how Fayette County, Texas, politics is heating up what with male dirty dancin’ and all manner of evil right here in Texas.
The county seat of Fayette County is LaGrange, home to the most famous little whorehouse in Texas.
There’s a mayor’s race in LaGrange and it appears that good and evil have squared off. (Click the little one to read the big one.)
The name of the highway? Martin Luther King, Jr.
I love yew, Texas.
Thanks to Vickie for the heads up.
Martin Luther King is a name with meaning for every American.
Col. Moore and Capt. Dawson, I will bet you oranges to pineapples, were not until this thing in the paper known to more than 1% of the schoolchildren of La Grange.
1And a highway, at the very least, named for President Barack Obama isn’t such a bad idea either.
2Poor Drescher! More twisted than a corkscrew, has to go around in circles to put his pants on!
3So his earliest ancestors came to the area and promptly proceeded to get a free handout from the government? Just sayin’.
4Makes sense to the rwnj’s, cause when they secede they won’t have to change back the street signs.
5Well, he does say Texas is a “sub”nation, as in “sub”standard. Sort of says it all, no?
6I’d like Alfred to explain to me his standards for calling someone an “ultra-liberal,” because if an actual ultra-liberal is mayor of LaGrange, Texas, I’d better get my dancing shoes on because it’s the revolution.
I suspect Alfred would call JEBush an ultra-liberal.
7“Texas is not just another state.” Yes, yes it is, just that.
I learned Texas history a little differently. In my books, the battle of San Jacinto got Texans independence from Mexico. The USA didn’t get squat until several years later.
The Texans surrendered their independence and sovereignty for the benefits of statehood. Now they want to go back on the deal.
8Does this guy still have some kind of inferiority complex about the size of Alaska?
9“When my earliest ancestors left Europe for this new world they did not come to the USA but to the Republic of Texas where they received some free land.”
Lookin’ for a government handout since the beginning, eh?
10FWIW Alfred Drescher has no meaning for me, although Martin Luther King Jr does.
11Do radical righters ever do anything besides whine?
12Rhea, I’ll bet his does have an inferiority complex about something of small size.
13Subnation? More like Subnormal with all these Republican idiots about.
14When Drescher’s “earliest ancestors” left Europe, they were mostly a bunch of knuckle-draggers. Looks like things haven’t changed much.
I bet Alfred E. Neumann is this guy’s ghostwriter.
15His ancestors came for the free land. Moochers!
16His Drescher ancestor, Emil ,left Poznan, Poland – which happened to be Prussian at the time – WELL AFTER Texas Independence. Just saying.
Meanwhile, back in Texas, Col. Moore (born in TN) and his little butt-buddy, Capt. Dawson (born in KY), were responsible for the massacre of at least 140 Comanche men, women and children, as they destroyed their village on the Red Fork of the Colorado River in Mitchell County. They attacked at dawn, killed everyone as they came out of their tents, and shot fleeing Indians in the back as they tried to swim the river or climb the opposite banks. Those deaths were not recorded in the total. Surviving women and children were re-purposed as “servants.”
Then a few years later, Captain Dawson bravely led his men into an ambush, promptly surrendered, and died anyway in the fog of war.
So, yeah, genocide with more than a touch of incompetence, that’s EXACTLY what you want to rename Dr. Martin Luther King stuff for.
17I figure if his *earliest* ancestors left Europe for Texas, that just tells me they were a little late gettin’ on the evolution train. Relatively speaking.
