The Spanish conquest
Texas won its independence in 1836, and this year we have lost it.
Gov. Rick Perry and his followers in the Legislature have given part of our state to Spain. The giveaway is covered up with pretty words, but the state has signed a contract with Spain giving absolute control over 30 miles of Texas 130, another toll road.
I can foresee Spanish policemen stopping citizens of Texas demanding to see their IDs and passports. I guess that Spain will have its own courts and punishments. I wonder if burning at the stake will become popular again.
By the way, Texans will have to pay for the right-of-way through their taxes, including their property taxes.
