Wow, Jason, you’ve done it again. I always wondered why you were listed as an author of Forget the Alamo. Burrough had published six important books. Tomlinson had published one important book. But you? Other than your book written by primarily by James Moore, you’d only been successful at being a political flak, like our bud Bob Mann, not an accomplished author. B&T listed you as an author of the book to ensure that you’d keep using your considerable flak skills to defend it going forward ad infinitum. The book dwells on Travis’s, Bowie’s, and Crockett’s personality flaws, but not those of Houston or others. Not do y’all compare the Texan creation myth with other creation myths. Your failure to do so makes it seem that Texans were more evil than any other social group. I don’t accept y’all’s preachy premise that the Texians were any more evil than the Mexicans, who ordered the murder of all the Texian soldiers wo surrendered at the Alamo and Golad. I’d like to believe that what you did with “Forget the Alamo” was just another flak job motivated solely by your own financial gain. Hell, I’ve got a kid to put through college like you, so I understand how much financial pressure you’re under to say and do things that generate free advertising and the resulting increase in sales of your book. I’m not under those pressures and biases. You may feel that I I’m as biased as you are. Maybe so. The only way to find out is for us to meet and talk together. What say you about us meeting?
