Think of this as The Alamo for the Tea Party.....

Its usefulness to the Corporatocracy in terms of selling "Obamacare" as the middle of the road solution to the health care crisis is over, it has become a Paulite, Libertarian anchor weight for the Republican Party so it's going out in glory, gun blazing on the issue that brought it to national prominence.

The racist, slave-driving assholes at the Alamo all died!

I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. I was an adult before I learned the truth about the so-called 'heroes' of the Alamo...
