Welcome!

"To the People of Texas, and to all Americans in the World ..."

Colonel William B. Travis

The Alamo, February 24 1836

from the Dispatch of Colonel William B. Travis announcing his intention to hold the Alamo at all costs, in order to inflict heavy casualties on Mexican dictator Santa Anna's forces and buy time for Sam Houston to rally an army to defend the Texas colonists

This is a test post of the new thetexastimesBlogLines, a daily summary of today's leading stories from America's greatest weblogs.

thetexastimes.com will also be creating, linking and testing eblogs today for:

• The Good News First --- thetexastimes.com section which combats the violence, mayhem, pessimism, negativism, agnosticism and amoralism of the mass media by covering, literally, the good news about America and Americans which surrounds us each day -- but which, for some reason, doesn't seem to make the headlines. At thetexastimes.com, the good news comes first!

• The Vast Conservative Majority --- thetexastimes.com section highlighting the fundamental Conservativism and Libertarianism of the American people and, especially, the overwhelmingly Conservative-Libertarian political, economic and social views of the people of Texas.This section is thetexastimes.com's answer to politicians, educrats, newspaper editors and reporters, and a number of citizen activist groups who have stepped far outside the Conservative-Libertarian Texas political mainstream, subsequently marginalizing themselves and de-legitimizing any authority they might have once possessed to lead or instruct the people of Texas in matters of politics, economics and social policy.

• American Flash, the times' special webcasting section featuring patriotic and political documentaries, films and Flash movies for your enjoyment!

• thetexastimes.com's Review of Great Books, featuring Books, Reviews, Release Notices and Press Clippings for books on politics, history, philosophy, law, theology and religion, science, technology, space exploration, and invention and discovery in all fields. The Review will also feature a special section on Texas and Texana.

• America in Space ---- thetexastimes.com is located in the very heartland of America's Manned Space Exploration program, near Houston Mission Control at NASA JSC, and serves local communities in which the U.S. Astronaut Corps and some of the greatest aerospace scientists and rocket engineers in the world --- including astronauts who have walked on the moon, men who captured the Hubble Telescope by hand while in orbit around the earth and scientists who have probably discovered the existence of ancient life on Mars --- are our friends and neighbors who borrow our weedeaters on Sunday afternoon, sit next to us in Church or lead our local Boy Scout troop. America's monumental effort to explore space and extend the boundaries of human knowledge and human presence beyond our planet will be a major focus of thetexastimes.com!

All texastimes.com blogs will feature wireless video, audio, image, text and telephone blogging direct from the field!

So stay tuned Fellow Texans as well as Fellow Texans Abroad, it's gonna get real interesting around here very quickly ---

--- e specially when a texastimes.com blogger or citizen reporter jams the business end of a DEll Axim in some politician's face and asks him to explain to the people of Texas, live on the internet, why he voted for that tax increase we just defeated at the polls!
