Yesterday, in an attempt to disgrace the entire Great State of Texas, as if Rick Perry wasn’t handling that job well enough, the Brazoria County Commissioners Court passed a resolution naming April “Confederate History and Heritage Month” and encouraged “all Texas schools and citizens to join in the effort to become more knowledgeable in the role of the Confederate States of America in the history of our country.”

Juanita believes you need to know two things about this.

#1 thing:  Our beloved and wonderful Governor, Sam Houston, resigned as Governor rather than go along with secession.  Wise Texans have built monuments and cities to Sam for his wisdom and courage.

#2 thing:  A direct quote from the 1861 document entitled, “A Declaration of the Causes which Impel the State of Texas to Secede from the Federal Union”

That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding states.

That’s shameful.

That’s all you need to know.

Brazoria County abuts my county.  I will never spend another dime in Brazoria County and invite my Democratic friends in Brazoria County to some spend their dimes in Fort Bend County.
