American Immigrants just wanted one thing LAND. This was one of the largest land grabs in History. It's no fluke that the majority of land grabbers were Irish, Welch. They came from Islands where there was no more land. In Texas they found the perfect opportunity. Some of the Biggest ranches ,Thousands of acres, still are in Irish and Welch hands. Well that's what Mexico got for being so brutal with i's own people. Not that the Racist Anglos were any better.
I was there. and it was great. San Antonio police department (not the republican party as Kieth Oberman would have you believe) estimated 16,000 to 20,000 attended. Everything was peaceful and nobody got hurt. Washington tried their best to ignore us but we are not stopping here. Another SATP will be in the works for 7/4/09. These are not right wing extremists. They're everyday working families that are fed up with watching the D.C. elite steal their hard earned money.
I was there too waving my 3' x 5' Gadsden. The rage among conservatives is building...I heard Glenn and Nugent calling for a 3rd party alternative. I hope it happens soon
