On the Flip Side

Funny thing about stereotypes: there's always someone like moi who breaks the mold. I was awarded BEST SIGN by my fellow marching compatriots. Ah, if you could only have seen the looks I got from some of the downtown fare. Greatness. The Department of Homeland Security was there. Dallas Police were there. And don't forget the designated city watcher positioned directly across the street in the tan sedan. All that hullabaloo for little ol' us. American citizens holding signs and flags. We certainly are a threat but merely because we will not shut up and we won't sit down.

Parking: $8.00.

Signs: $13.00.

Exercising my right to assemble and speak out against IRS targeting: Priceless.

IRS vs Tea Party Patriots/9.12 Project

Got my sign all ready for tomorrow. Senator John Cornyn's office is closer but I think downtown at the Earl Cabbell Federal building is probably a better location for exposure. Hopefully there will be someone from the media covering it, however, I won't hold my breath. Heaven knows I'd make a fantastic street reporter for The Blaze. Oh, I can see it now...

Hopefully no rain tomorrow. Oh yeah, and that I don't get arrested. Or assaulted. Or mugged. And maybe I'll make a new friend or two. Just wait till I post the back side of my sign. Haha...it'll make the Progressives poop their pants a la Al Roker.

No Comparison

Obama taken from the precipitous White House Rose Garden today where he conspired with the Muslim Brotherhood-loving Turkish Prime Minister.

All I kept thinking of were those dutiful Marines performing even the lowliest of tasks with exactness and decorum. Imagine if it had been another former president. Do you think President Washington would have ever ordered an umbrella held over him such as this? Makes you wonder.

HOC: AG Holder

For those who may have missed today's insightful House Oversight Committee meeting featuring Stedman Graham AG Eric Holder here's my quick and dirty Twitter highlight reel. Were you to watch the all-time best video clips there'd be two: {1} TX Rep Gohmert (I know, go figure) and {2} WI Rep Sensenbrenner.

Unless you're a Native American, you came from someplace else. Share your family's story: at.wh.gov/kQgOt #ImmigrationNation
— The White House (@whitehouse) May 8, 2013

Really? Because the Native Americans magically sprouted from the soil after the Big Bang? Asinine. And maybe this is a moot point but why "share" when they're already monitoring our data anyway? Unless genealogy is somehow part of ObamaCare and we haven't discovered it yet. Doh!

Who's tweeting about Benghazi? Rich, middle-aged men and Chick-fil-A lovers wapo.st/18YFgKP
— Washington Post (@washingtonpost) May 8, 2013

Talk about a false narrative. Yeahhh. Not rich. Not middle-aged. Not a man. Three strikes, baby! And good thing, too, cuz I likey the Chik-fil-A. (Sidebar--you know they intentionally failed to misspell "Chick" to prove their elitist disassociation.)

Three words: conflict of interest. I know. Silly, silly me.

Now move directly to a shower. Lather, rinse, repeat. Do not stop. Do not collect $200. Well, with  taxes and inflation it's really only...but I digress.

Stand & Fight

Another great weekend to be a Texan said the proud NRA member.

Nothing But Blue Skies

While en route to VT recently I was positively captivated by the sky and reached for my phone in hopes of capturing the stunning view.

Maybe because the north Texas landscape is void of obvious mountain or beach beauty, the skies for me often take center stage.

And this day clearly was no exception.

God bless Texas.

Vile

In response to the clamoring applause at the Planned Parenthood Gala (sidebar: How obnoxious is the use of just that one word alone in this context?) Obama said disingenuously,

“You’re making me blush.”

Arrogantly feigning humility to murderous clatter. Wretched.

According to the AP Obama is the first sitting President of the United States to address the abortionist organization Planned Parenthood. You know how Progressives strive for and celebrate their "historic" advancements. PP founder, Margaret Sanger, would be so proud. Hmm...on second thought considering her prejudicial views perhaps not. Infamously repugnant birds of a feather if you ask me. He ended his nauseating remarks with,

"Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you."

Really? Invoking the sacred name of deity to an organization whose founding purpose was to thwart the mere existence of God's greatest creations. Unbelievable.

For those unfamiliar with the Gosnell trial currently underway, which wouldn't be all that surprising as the alleged mainstream media isn't reporting much about it, please begin here. Probably some of the most disturbing images you'll encounter but being compelled to act in the face of evil sometimes takes shocking and graphic truth such as these. Considering the eugenic roots of Planned Parenthood this abomination is ironically perpetrated and promoted by these two unconscionable cowards. Heaven help us.

Earth-Day-Smurf-Day

Gee, Lenin, thanks for the holiday.

Personally I think Earth's day's a bunch of PC hooey. Bunk. Bologna. But what really chaps my hide is how they (Progressives) hijacked my favorite color. I know, I know. You're thinking, "Hasn't she complained about this before? Yes, I have. And I'm still pissed about it! Green has always been, and always will be, my favorite color. (Don't even get me started on the rainbow.)

I chose to "celebrate" Earth Day by honoring and remembering He who created this incredibly complex and wondrous planet of ours, Jesus Christ. The trend today seems to lean toward worshiping the Earth rather than its Creator. To me the concept seems so simple to understand, however, the confusion and tumult of the world grows increasingly persuasive in the contrary. We are to be watchful stewards over the planet keeping in mind the spiritual nature of all things. The natural resources are blessings given by a Savior who has asked us to "act well our part". By exercising our free will to lovingly and consistantly care for His creations we exemplify a testimony of diligent character and discipleship.

Freedom Fighter

I love this man.  We must keep him and others who fight for liberty in our prayers constantly.

With God nothing is impossible.

He is Risen

Because He has risen so will we. Every one. Jesus is the Christ.

Happy Easter, y'all.

Walmart Wisdom

So I stop by Walmart on my way home from work to pick up a few sundries for the week. Baby boy gift--check. New makeup I couldn't resist--check. Appetizer ingredients for Thursday--check. Work breakfast potluck items--check. Coastal Living magazine. A bargain bag of Cuties--check.

I mosey back towards the register and spy a single lit lane curiously lacking a line. Suspiciously and cautiously I approached, naturally assuming this is in error and I will be rebuked by the retail gods.

"Are you open?" I inquired hopefully.

"Yes," she replied as I scurried towards the emerging permanent mirage.

"I thought it was almost too good to be true," I remarked satisfied with my triumphant find.

"Oh, no. It's Monday." she said flatly but still in a matter of fact tone.

Monday. Right. First day back to the grind of routine and probably a sparse shopping day. Or perhaps she meant that Mondays are stereotypically wrought with feelings of mundane drudgery. An artificially sweet elevator version of Manic Monday begins to chime somewhere in the recesses of my mind until...

She continued, "All the food stamps have been spent over the weekend."

Wait...

Huh?

Ohhh. A sad sign of the times, folks. Needless to say in order to avoid the crowds I will begin shopping on Mondays.

Race & the 2nd Amendment

Such a vital conversation we all should be having. And you'll certainly never see anything like this on the so-called mainstream media. For Progressives a black Conservative is more mysterious and threatening than a unicorn with perfect credit on a full moon.

Kira Ayn Davis, "We are inherently distrustful of government. We always have been. We should be. We have good reason to be. We're distrustful of police. We've had good reason to be in our history. Why would you invite more government into your life? We don't want this. This has been dangerous to us in the past and there's no reason to believe it won't be again."

Joseph C. Phillips, "We are also fighting a social agenda that also crosses color lines. There's this idea that to own guns or like guns makes you bad, crazy, suspect. Whereas, to eschew guns makes you a good person--righteous, noble. It's standing up. It's saying 'enough is enough'. And it's loud action. And the same type of intense protest that was brought against other injustice has to happen here."

Star Parker, "What blacks have been convinced to do is hire officials, they vote for these politicians, whose exclusive job is to keep them uneducated, keep them unarmed, and government dependent."

Truth lives here. "From Dallas...good night, America."

Dept Of nJustice

Heard a particularly damning radio interview today with former DOJ lawyer, J. Christian Adams on The Wells Report. I was gobsmacked. Just when I think Holder can't descend further down the proverbial decency ladder he astounds me again with unbelievable antics.

The new Black Panthers scandal.

Wanting to try 9/11 terrorists in NYC.

The Fast and Furious debacle.

Non-answer to killing Americans in the US with drones.

And on. And on. And on.

The Bible

Games

Cell in left pocket. Keys, ID, and debit card in right. Eyes and ears alert. At all times.

Real or not real?

Real.

The Blaze? Check.

Bellissima

With eyes like these...

...why jack with the lipstick? Seriously. Don't. Get. It.

Royal Inquisition

A good weekend is productive.

A great weekend features a nap.

A truly marvelous weekend includes luxuriating in both Saturday and Sunday afternoon naps. Said weekends are rare indeed and so refreshing. Cheers to a new week full of wonder and possibilities.

(Hurry up, Season 4! I'm positively decimated and all too impatient.)
