    If we were to celebrate the betrayal for cash inside the Beltway we’d never have a free day. Judas, patron saint of politicians and bureaucrats. We should be able to skip that ‘one honest person’ step and go straight to the bromstone part.

            I wish I could type the way this lady I know talks as it would make the story funnier.
            She’s a Cajun lady who has lived in Oklahoma for about 20 years but she’s never quite lost her Cajun accent but has picked up an Okie accent to go along with it.

            She had came up to buy some chicks and her car wouldn’t start when she got ready to leave. The starter had went out, so she called her husband and told him to go buy a starter and come up here and fix it. He came up with a trailer instead and said he was taking it home to fix it. He was trying to rig up this strap to hook to the car and to the hook on his trailer wench. Her daughter who is in her early twenties was talking on her cellphone.
            She starts yelling at her husband that it ain’t gonna work. He tells her he knows what he’s doing and she tells him she can hear his marbles rattling around in his head about the same time the strap breaks. Then she yells at him loud enough for the entire county to hear, “Ya always gotta go and n….r rig everything, why can’t you just do things right and not be n….r riggin’. Damn fool men always n….r riggin and never listen to us when we tell ’em it ain’t gonna work!”

            I’m already about to die from laughing so hard and then her daughter gets off the phone and says, “mother I was talking to someone about buying my horse and she heard you yelling that.”
            She says, “so.”
            Daughter says, “mother you yelled n….r and I know she heard you!”
            She asks, “is she black?”
            Daughter says, “I don’t think so, but that’s not the point, you can’t say that.”
            She says, “well if she ain’t black, what’s the problem?”

            I know it’s very un-PC, but it didn’t make it any less funny.

                My dad said it my entire life growing up, when I got older I tried to always say Jerry-rigged but then I was told that was also racist.
                My DH says field engineering and says he doesn’t think they can find a reason to call that racist.

                This lady I believe is like me and was raised in a different era, she had her youngest daughter really late in life. I’m not exactly sure how old she is, but I do know her youngest daughter is 23 and she had her in her 50’s.

                She says God has a sense of humor and her daughter is proof of that. 20 years since she had her last child and then out of the blue, just when they were getting ready to spend all their money on themselves out comes another one.

                I just like hearing her talk, no matter what she’s saying it’s always entertaining for me. 🙂

    Excellent Speech!

    In this historic speech, the Prime Minister of Hungary cries for Europe to unite and fight the political correctness that is destroying the freedom of Western nations. March 15 – 2016

    In this historic speech, the Prime Minister of Hungary cries for Europe to unite and fight the political correctness that is destroying the freedom of Western nations. March 15 – 2016

    And today Europe is as fragile, weak and sickly as “a flower being eaten away by a hidden worm.” Today, 168 years after the great Wars of Independence of the European peoples, Europe, our common home is not free!

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Europe is not free. Because freedom begins with speaking the truth.

    Today in Europe it is forbidden to speak the truth.

    Even if it is made of silk, a muzzle is a muzzle.

    It is forbidden to say that those arriving are not refugees, but that Europe is threatened by migration.

    It is forbidden to say that tens of millions are ready to set out in our direction.

    It is forbidden to say that immigration brings crime and terror to our countries.

    It is forbidden to point out that the masses arriving from other civilizationsendanger our way of life, our culture, our customs and our Christian traditions.

    It is forbidden to point out that those who arrived earlier have already built up their own new, separate world for themselves, with its own laws and ideals, which is forcing apart the thousand-year-old structure of Europe.

    It is forbidden to point out that this is not an accidental and unintentional chain of consequences, but a preplanned and orchestrated operation; a mass of people directed towards us.

    It is forbidden to say that in Brussels they are concocting schemes to transport foreigners here as quickly as possible and to settle them here among us.

    It is forbidden to point out that the purpose of settling people here is to reshape the religious and cultural landscape of Europe, and to reengineer its ethnic foundations — thereby eliminating the last barrier to internationalism: the nation-states.

    It is forbidden to say that Brussels is now stealthily devouring more and more slices of our national sovereignty, and that in Brussels many are now making a plan for a United States of Europe — for which no one has ever given authorisation.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,Today’s enemies of freedom are cut from a different cloth than the royal and imperial rulers of old, or those who ran the Soviet system; they use a different set of tools to force us into submission. ….

        I love the ending –

        We must therefore drag the ancient virtue of courage out from under the silt of oblivion.

        First of all we must put steel in our spines, and we must answer clearly, with a voice loud enough to be heard far and wide, the foremost, the single most important question determining our fate:

        The question upon which the future of Europe stands or falls is this:

        “Shall we be slaves or men set free — That is the question, answer me!”

    Good morning. One more time evil ones have been successful in their mission to terrorize and kill innocents. If only Belgium would undergo a spine stiffening and, for once, speak truth about the evil that they face Europe, and that we all face throughout the World. God comfort the wounded and the loved ones of the innocent dead.

    Enough. The best thing we can do as Americans is to speak the truth about the nature of the evil that threatens us all.

    It is another busy political day. I am praying for the safety of our Presidential candidates and their families, and that Arizonans and Utahans who vote today will “see the light”!

    FTA:There’s a lot of misleading rhetoric out there by pro-van lobbyists and members of the NSVA (National Street Van Association) who claim vans are a harmless hobby and an essential vehicle for keeping our streets safer. But the constant stories of atrocities in the news are unavoidable. If we are hearing about it more, then it must be happening more. More than 948 people in the United States have been killed by serial killers since 2006, which is higher than mass shootings. How many people have die before we finally institute a van ban?

    Cruz is an enemy of freedom. Cruz is using the actions of barbaric Muslims to malign Donald Trump and to promote himself.

    I believe that Cruz using this savage attack to try to benefit himself is a despicable act that only a person with no moral compass would ever commit. I know it is impossible for a person to be without a soul, but not with out a conscience, our conscience can be beaten out of us by continually choosing darkness.

    Cruz is a vile opportunistic spawn in legion with the power of darkness.

          I have a FB friend that posted the video and called Cruz a lying snake who is using Obama-like tactics.

          She is either nicer than me or has more patience than me because she keeps her Cruz friends who are rude and obnoxious.
          Rude and obnoxious and bordering on stupid they were about the post. They called her a liar, told her she was going to pay for attacking a Christian, said she hated Christians, this was the final straw with her hate filled, lying posts constantly attacking a good Christian man they were unfriending her.
          Then those who said Trump is the liar and the biggest lie he tells is that Cruz is a liar.
          Then those who said Cruz didn’t attack and he didn’t blame Trump for the attacks, he just said Trump was wrong about NATO and the UN and pulling out or reducing funding would make us weaker and Brussels weaker and/or would cause more terror attacks.

          Another lesson I’m learning lately, I always thought conservatives weren’t too fond of the UN, but it seems suddenly conservatives love the UN. I say that because they weren’t just defending NATO and funding 80% of NATO but they were also defending the UN.

    So…..(Trump voice) I had a pollster of some sort call moi tonight. First time ever. Black chick asking about all kinds of things (just to make it fair and impartial) but zeroing in on Obama’s selection of Merrick Garland, Obama’s performance as president, Mitt Romney as a Republican spokesman, MY race, Trump’s total assholiness (according to the questionnaire) and assorted other amusing answers for her.
    I’ll leave it at that – but let us say she thanked ME at the end for 1) telling her that Justice Scalia’s name was NOT pronounced Celia 2) telling her about Vice President Biden’s Law that a new justice cannot be selected until President Trump takes over 3) that Hillary Clinton had already killed people.
    Main takeaway, my friends – TRUMP is who they fear. NO QUESTIONS AT ALL were asked about the mailman or the Canuck.
