Texas Drifter: War of Words Matters

Library Entry # 641

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Why war of words matters; may be easier to win war of metaphorical swords if one has already won war of words. New war of words issue is reducing armed defense options for peace through nuclear Armageddon.

Difference between America’s good guys and bad guys: bad guys are fighting their war of words with excrement based propaganda out of mouths of tyrants and domestic war criminals.

Good guys (reader can list) are defending America’s traditions, values, and principles like inalienable rights in their war of words with truths for life; liberty known as free will; and private property acquired through ethical capitalism.

Inalienable rights defenses can be expressed by
1. Ten Commandments
2. Act of Abjuration 1581
3. Declaration of Independence
4. U.S. Constitution
5. Bill of Rights
6. Ethical capitalism
7. Other views expressed by defenders of liberties

Bad guys beliefs are motivated by vanity; selfishness; greed; stealing; hate; lust for power over others lives, health, properties, and achievements.

Above good guys might want to remember and celebrate upcoming anniversaries of both defenders at Alamo and at San Jacinto both during spring time 1836.

Texans and other Americans need to remember that Colonel Travis and Colonel Bowie who served “side by side” behind crumbling walls of old church; formed a temporary coalition as they planned a duel to the death after Texas won its Independence. They placed Texas’ future above their personal differences.

Something more Texans and Americans might consider doing for America’s future in contemporary war of words against contemporary tyrants and tyrannies.

Many Texans and fewer Americans are familiar with Colonel Travis’ best known letter from Alamo with following introduction:

Commandancy of the Alamo
Bejar, Feby. 24, 1836
To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World
Fellow citizens & compatriots

I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls I shall never surrender or retreat.

(Reader can reference rest of letter them self except for ending)

P.S. The Lord is on our side. When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn. We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves. Travis

Most bad guys and many good guys ignore fact that Colonel Travis believed “The Lord is on our side”. A belief many contemporary good guys are now to vain to appreciate.

How many Texans and Americans are familiar with last letter to leave the Alamo?

To David Ayers
March 3, 1836
Take care of my little boy. If the country should be saved, I may make for him a splendid fortune; but if the country be lost and I should perish, he will have nothing but the proud recollection that he is the son of a man who died for his country.

Note: The letter to David Ayers is the last known letter written by Travis before the fall of the Alamo on the morning of March 6, 1836. William Barret Travis died at his post on the cannon platform at the northeast corner of the fortress.

How many Texas and Americans know story of Travis’ ring?

In 1835 Travis joined the Texian army as it prepared to battle Mexico for Texas Independence, promising Cummings that as soon as his divorce was final they would marry. As a parting gesture of his affection, he gave her a brooch; and Cummings the cat’s eye ring from her finger and gave it to him. Travis threaded it on a piece of twine and wore it around his neck. He would never see Rebecca again.

Knowing his death was imminent, wrote Betty Smith Meischen in her book “From Jamestown to Texas: A History of Some Early Pioneers of Austin County” [iUniverse 2002], Travis placed the string with the ring around the neck of 15-month-old Angelina Dickinson, one of the non-combatants who survived the siege. Every defender was killed.

It would be nice to think that after such a traumatic beginning, Angelina the “babe of the Alamo” who inherited Travis’ precious ring went on to live a happy life. But this was not the case.

Another example of war of w0rds includes General Houston’s example at San Jacinto. Taking a brief step back, definition of motivate is provide person with desire to act.

General Sam Houston had two types of motivations at Battle of San Jacinto. First, cowardly command at Goliad; and second, heart and souls full of courage at Alamo.

When the time was right, General Sam had two messages, one for his troops and one for his enemies. Sam’s first message to his troops: I ordered my scouts to burn all bridges. No one comes in, no one retreats. I must have Santa Anna alive. Remember Goliad. Remember the Alamo.

Casualty reports from April 21st eighteen minute battle sent Houston’s enemies the second message: six hundred enemy killed, two hundred enemy wounded, and 732 enemy captured. Santa Anna was captured the next day after fleeing the battle like a coward.

Out numbered two to one, Republic of Texas casualties were two killed and twenty-three wounded. The wounded included General Sam Houston. When asked about his part in the battle, one Texan answered, I would not have stopped killing those ######## if Jesus Christ himself had asked me too.

Other war of words examples includes Texas Constitution of 1836 which started not ended with Bill of Rights for Texans. Second example involves 1876 Texas Constitution following Yankee Republicans economic and physical genocide against people of South following Civil War in 1860’s.

This writing exercise will not identify Yankee Republican conservative carpetbaggers and scalawags which can be left for another writing exercise.

Third type of players in war of words involves celebrity word marketers whose primary motives are profits through ratings. Recall more often than not timeless truths creates enemies.

Summary war of words:
1. win war of words
2. form coalitions to win
3. develop winning strategy
4. win war of metaphorical swords
5. honor fallen; thank Heaven for blessings; keep faith and keep powder dry; keep one all the time and other as needed
6. almost forgot justice for unwashed and those with middle class attitudes; and no security for guilty

Translation Nuremberg type domestic war crime trials for leaders of evil. Beware not to let revenge create atrocities by cult leaders like Robespierre or 1860’s Yankee Republican conservative carpetbaggers.

War of words should not be about replacing past Marxist-fascist Democrat Party evils with Republican Party evils. TRUE or FALSE

Bonus Questions, more like writing assignment, twenty-five words or less: What America’s traditions, values, and principles like inalienable rights mean to you; and why they are worth defending.

New issue for war of words: Obama’s Marxist-fascists, along with support of corporate fascist Republican establishment ruling elite aristocrats’ policies to reduce size of America’s armed forces to fight one front war while trying to contain second front war; reduces national security options and will probably push America to use nuclear weapons to survive. TRUE or FALSE

Clue: Americans seem to be getting too stupid to survive as free peoples. Truth be known; Obama’s Marxist-fascists and corporate fascist Republicans are promoting nuclear Armageddon. Peace through nuclear war …Peace through nuclear war …
