So, charging ahead despite what the majority might think, a "Texan" attribute, according to Bush.

Okay -- maybe like Emma Tenayuca, the communist Latina-American labor organizer in Texas (remarkably there's a dedication to her in the Women's Museum here in Dallas), or Lucy Parsons, ex-slave, widow of Haymarket martyr Albert Parsons, and co-founder of the IWW, from Waco. Oh, but wait -- he means people who aren't really from Texas, like himself.
