Anytime a political topic breaks out on here I usually skip it. No I don't care about your opinion on how things should be run and no I don't care what you have to say about history.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
Mexican Texas is the name given by Texas history scholars to Texas during the period between 1821 and 1836, when Texas was an integral part of Mexico. The period began with Mexico's victory over Spain in its war of independence in 1821. For the first several years of its existence, Mexican Texas operated very similarly to Spanish Texas. The 1824 Constitution of Mexico joined Texas with Coahuila to form the state of Coahuila y Tejas. The same year, Mexico enacted the General Colonization Law, which enabled all heads of household, regardless of race or immigrant status, to claim land in Mexico
the british also, at one point, decided to kidnap people off of our ships or something and forced them to join their navy. so we kicked their ass again.
but you didnt kick their ass. hence Canada still being Canada and not the United States
he said we (as in America) kicked their ass (as in the Bristish) again. which just isnt true. had america kicked their asses, Canada would be a part of the United Sates
mexico owned texas, but it was largely inhabited by white settlers. the agreement they had with the settlers was that they could stay in texas and make their lives there, but that they couldn't own slaves. texas was it's own little entity, but they were under the umbrella of mexican protection. that's why texas has significantly different state laws than most other states. anyway, that agreement wasn't good enough for the settlers, so they started bringing in slaves anyway. this pissed the mexican gov't off and when they went to kick out the slave-owners, it turned into a civil war. initially, the u.s. gov't wanted nothing to do with the conflict but after the alamo, public sentiment forced their hand and they went in, stomped mexico and went ahead and took most of new mexico, arizona and california for the trouble. that's also why when you hear mexicans say that by moving into the southwestern states that they're just taking it back...they're partially correct
to be fare to the japs to....we provoked them into bombing pearl harbor by blockading them...hell we even new it was coming and pulled some of our higher ranking officials off the islands

Cutting the military back is fkn stupid. While Iran, N.Korea, and China are expanding theirs, and developing ballistic missiles to shoot across continents, we're going to be sitting with our thumb up our asses.. We will be ill prepared in the future and thats what they want. Go and vote for what ever moron you like, they're both useless. I can understand some spending is out of hand, but getting rid of personnel is the dumbest thing they could do.
The day you need a gun and don't have one, may be your last.
