U.S. Supreme Court Rules Americans Have Right To Keep and Bear Arms
Wow, can you believe it? I never thought I’d see the day that the U.S. Supreme Court would rule on the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. I thought if they did, it would be a future Liberal Court and they would wipe out the 2nd Amendment.
For once, I’m glad I was wrong.
Today indeed will go down as a great day in U.S. History.
Oregon Teacher Says It’s Her Right To Pack Heat In Class
Okay, so this Teacher in Oregon who says it’s her right to carry her pistola in class isn’t from Texas, but with an attitude like hers, she should be. In fact, more Texas teachers could take a lesson from her.
Shirley Katz is a High School English teacher at South Medford High. Shirley says that she fears her ex-husband and a Columbine type situation happening. So she went out and passed a firearms safety class and obtained a Concealed Carry Permit (CCP) from the local Sheriff.
Kudos To My Congressman, Kevin Brady
Whenever I email or call one of my Congressman/woman, I don’t expect a reply. I know they’re busy and more than likely it’s going to be one of their staff that contacts me if anyone does. That’s why it was such a nice surprise when I received my form letter from my U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady about an email I had sent him when the Amnesty Bill reared it’s ugly head.
Texas Politicians Focused More On Politics Than Serving Texans
This session of the Texas Legislature was like watching a Battle Royale on Smackdown. That would be okay if I wanted to watch a fake sport, but you and I sent our Lawmakers to Austin to work for us, not play politics.
This legislature got few of the large and important Bills passed, such as the Voter ID Bill, you can thank Lt. Governor Dewhurst for letting that one slip away, but Lawmakers were busy getting some “feel good” laws passed so their time in Austin wouldn’t be completely wasted….just 98% of it.
Lt. Governor Dewhurst Let’s Texans Down….Again
Lt. Governor David Dewhurst let us down….again. He had his chance to push the Voter ID bill through when Senator Whitmire failed to vote on the Texas Senate floor, then coward down when Whitmire got loud and obnoxious. Then he failed to bring the Bill back onto the floor before May 28th, the last day of the session. Thank you Lt. David Dewhurst for, well, for nothing.
You Can Help Stop The Amnesty Bill
The U.S. Senate is set to resume the debate on the Amnesty Bill (U.S. Senate Bill 1348) next week (June 4th) after they get back from their vacation. They need a long list of phone, fax and email messages waiting on them telling them to kill this bad bill once and for all. Otherwise, they’re going to keep on doing what they’ve done before, which is what THEY WANT TO DO, not what we want them to do.
John McCain F-Bombs John Cornyn
It seems that our dear U.S. Senator John Cornyn angered the “good” Senator from Arizona, John McCain when he was standing against the illegal alien amnesty bill.
The two got into a heated debate and McCain accused Cornyn of trying to stone-wall the deal by brining up too many “petty” objections. These “petty objections” McCain was referring to were the number of judicial appeals the illegals could get under the Amnesty Bill. I believe John McCain used a curse word that is used in the place of “Chicken Poop”.
Act Now To Get Texas Lawmakers To Pass Voter ID Bill
Fellow Texans! The time is at hand to stand up and be heard!
We currently have the best shot that we’ll likely get at having the Texas Voter ID (HB218) brought up for debate in the Texas Senate without the Liberal Democrats blocking it.
For those of you who don’t know about the Voter ID bill, it’s a bill that will require anyone wishing to vote to provide a photo ID in order to cast a vote. It’s that simple.
Top U.S. Senators & White House Negotiate Amnesty Deal For Illegals
Top Senators in the U.S. Senate and negotiators from the White House hacked out a bipartisan deal yesterday that would grant amnesty to between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens already here in the U.S.
Folks, if you saw how George Bush and Ted Kennedy were practically tripping over each other to announce this deal, you’d known instantly that it smelled rotten all the way to the top. Anytime Ted Kennedy comes out and tells me he has something good for me, I run the other way.

Texas Democrats are trying their best at stopping HB218, the Voter ID Bill. No wait, the Liberals like to call it the Voter Suppression law.
Texas Democrats fully understand that if this law passes, their days are numbered. They’ll be no more illegals voting for the Dems nor will dead people be lining up at the Voter booth waiting to Vote “D”, non-local homeless bums or the same person voting multiple times. This is precisely why the Dems are raising such a ruckus.
Texas Lawmakers More Concerned About Marriage Than Illegal Immigration
I guess I shouldn’t blame our state’s Lawmakers. They’re probably taking a que from our National Lawmakers.
Our Lawmakers are becoming more and more spineless - do nothing mouth pieces. Few of them want to tackle the hard issues because they’re afraid they’ll disinfranchise some sector of voters. This is what happens when people make a career out of being a politician rather than serving for a few years then going home, getting a real job and being outstanding pillars of the community. This is the way our Founding Fathers wanted it, but it sure as heck isn’t the way it’s evolved. (wow, I almost got on a term limit rant..shew…that was close)
Take for instance the Texas Lawmakers action with HB2685. Seems our Texas Lawmakers are more concerned about people getting married than they are about millions of illegal aliens coming across the Texas border with Mexico.

The Houston Chronicle has a slanted piece (big surprise hunh) about Oklahoma Lawmakers about to pass the toughest law on immigration in the Nation. I’m wondering, if they can do it, why can’t Texas?
The Oklahoma law will cut off benefits and jobs for illegal immigrants. Notice I said ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, not legal immigrants. The Oklahoma Bill will also allow law enforcement to detain them solely because they are here illegally…ARE YOU LISTENING HOUSTON, AUSTIN AND OTHER SANCTUARY CITIES?
Oklahoma Lawmakers are taking a step to protect their citizens. It’s what they were elected to do. Somehow, that little tidbit of fact has been lost on most lawmakers not only here in Texas, but the Nation as well.

I was listening to State Senator Dan Patrick on the radio Monday afternoon when a caller called in and asked him about HB-3186. This bill would legalize Poker in the State of Texas.
From what the Senator said, this bill would only legalize Poker rooms in Texas, not Gambling or Casino’s. The caller asked Senator Patrick if he would support such a Bill if it made it out of the House and the Senator said that he had only heard of the Bill, not seen or read it.

State legislators finally got around to adding the words “under God” to the State Pledge of Allegiance.
I don’t know how long this has been trying to happen, but I’ve heard about it off and on for a few years. While I support this bill (HB 1034), I wish now they would get back to work on more important items for Texans.
How many of you actually know the Texas Pledge? (no cheating!)

I started this blog simply because I was fed up with all the crap heaped on us from Austin. Then I realized our local governments, special interest groups and those we elected to Office were joining in and heaping crap on us like we're nothing more than a bunch of Mushrooms!
