Is This How Texans View Texas?


Saw that which you see here, on Facebook.

And thought it to be amusing. 

After living in Texas for a couple decades one does make note of the fact that many Texans are Texas-centric, seeing their state as somehow uniquely special, compared to the other 49 states.

Much is made over the fact that Six Flags have flown over Texas. Resulting in theme parks named Six Flags Over Texas.

Those Six Flags are France, Spain, Mexico, the Confederate State of America, the United States of America, and most importantly, for a few years, the flag of the Republic of Texas.

The United States of America flag has 50 stars on it. The state flag of Texas has one star on it. Hence the Texas nickname of being the Lone Star State...
