Don't people realize that Big Tex is the redneck Republican equivalent of the Colossus Of Rhodes? It is as important a cultural icon to Texas as cowshit and Skoal.

I don't know...
My friend from Virginia who has lived here for 20 years asked,
"What's the big fuckin deal?"
Tried to explain Texas to him to no avail.

Didn't you see it in the video? A model drone carrying a small incendiary device was flown into Big Tex!
@LeslieWatson7 ← Crude remark. He was an iconic figure to us Texans just the same as the Statue of Liberty.
@LeslieWatson7 - You jumped to the conclusion that I was calling you a bad parent. That was all on your own, nothing I said led to that.
@LeslieWatson7 - Merit: Having information relevant to a discussion to make an intelligent statement or argument.
@LeslieWatson7 - Sounds like you got into the discussion in the beginning without any merit. ( Done.)
@TheTimG are you now calling me a bad parent for not taking pics w my child in front of it???? This conversation is OVER....
@TheTimG I am a single working mother that lives in AUSTIN.I have more important things to do like work hard give a good life to my child.
@LeslieWatson7 - Did you not ever take your kids to see him & take pictures like most parents do for them to have good memories?
@LeslieWatson7 - Still, he was a HUGE part of Texas history & has been in my life since I was 7 years old, that's 39 years, can u say that?
@LeslieWatson7 That wasn't the belt or buckle, it was just the logo sign. Guess the buckle must of melted as well.
