Okay, so the rightwing scream machine got a rumor started that the United Nations was going to take over the Alamo if we get it granted World Heritage Status.

And you wanna know who the rightwing blamed for this? Jerry Patterson, the Republican Land Office Commissioner who has control of the Alamo?  No.  Rick Perry, the Governor of the state that runs the Alamo?  Nope.  The Daughters of the Republic of Texas who run the day to day operations of the Alamo?  Wrong again.

The person they blame for this is Mayor Julián Castro, who has nada, diddle squat, nothin’ to do with the Alamo other than he lives in the same city.  They call Castro “a liberal who believes in a global society.”  Plus, he’s the only one they could who has a foreign-sounding last name.

San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julián Castro is currently negotiating with the United Nations to designate the Alamo as a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, meaning that a blue UN flag may fly above the historic shrine of liberty once it falls under UN control.

Caca del toro.

Thanks to Maggie for the heads up.
