One of my favorite genres of music is the ballads, specifically ones that memorialize American giants and histories. I’ve got a few that I listen to repeatedly, one of which is Remember the Alamo by Asleep at the Wheel (originally by Tex Ritter), because the lyrics are so good and at the end of the song, there’s a spoken reading of the last letter that Colonel William Barret Travis sent before his death—which I can now recite by heart. (I homeschooled both my boys for a year, and we spent a good number of lessons on the Alamo, using Travis’s letter as a teaching tool in multiple ways.)

Those lyrics, and Travis’s last thoughts while sustaining nonstop cannonade from an overwhelming enemy force, no doubt became the foundational pillars of the “Don’t Mess With Texas” quip we all know and love—when Santa Anna demanded a surrender in 1836, Colonel Travis “answered with a cannon shot” and at the time, his “flag still wave[d] proudly from the walls.”
But, it seems that attitude is as dead as Travis, Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and every other man whose bodies littered the fort’s grounds when Santa Anna’s men eventually breached the walls.
Take a look at where we are, 190 years later:

The flag of India is either level with the American and Texan flags, or perhaps even higher—I can’t quite tell by the angle. Why is a foreign flag flying here at all?
Here’s another example, this time at an “Indian Independence Day” event which again saw the Indian flag raised to the same height as the American flag, and which included explicit support from the local mayor:
Irving, Texas. This is what full submission looks like.

No statues of Texan heroes like Travis or Crockett, but we’ve got a giant bronze image of Mahatma Gandhi. Noted.

This is where Republicans are spending our tax dollars? Texas has a Republican trifecta, though it certainly doesn’t look like it. Can anyone really make a case for voting in the midterms? I couldn’t be less motivated.
And here’s how things are going at the parks in Dallas:

This isn’t a slight against Indian culture—but it’s a slight against Indian culture usurping the most culturally rich American spaces of America. You know where I want to see the beauty and richness of traditional Indian culture? In India, if I ever go. Two of my favorite movies as a kid, A Little Princess and the non-cartoon The Jungle Book (with Cary Elwes and Sam Neill), were my favorite movies because the films did a fantastic job of romanticizing the utter richness and exoticness of India as it once was, and could be again.
But in Texas? This has got to stop, and we can’t even blame the Democrats for this one.
