SLC, I think you have to ask yourself what conceivable benefit your paragraph of half-baked radical politics on the Alamo added to your story? If you don't answer "nothing," keep asking until you get it right. This would appear to be a road story about a relationship thus far. You have made some good progress at setting up conflicts in the relationship, but political asides can only detract from your story and divert your reader's attention.
