Texas Governor Rick Perry "come and take it"
Republican Governor Rick Perry of Texas recently attended a
news conference in the wake of the tragedy in town of West, Texas.
The shirt Governor Perry was wearing during the news
conference was notable. Embroidered
above the left pocket was a lone star, a canon barrel, and the words “come and
take it.”
“Come and take it” is part of Texas history. The canon was in Gonzales, Texas when Mexican
troops tried to retrieve it. The Texas
of the town pointed to the canon and told the Mexican troops “come and take
it.”
The Mexican troops never got the canon and this was
considered the first battle of Texas’s war of independence from Mexico. “Come and take it” in Texas represents rugged
individualism, independence, and no nonsense strength.
