Setebos, I understand the feeling. My ancestors came to Texas with Austin. I used to be proud to be descending from such a tough, enduring people. After Shrub became governor, after the wonderful Ann Richards, I still shrugged and pointed out he was raised in the Northeast, what could you expect? But nowadays I say nothing out of embarrassment for what Texans have become.
