Southeast Texas Tax Day TEA Party - Final Update!
>> April 15, 2010
UPDATE V:
All videos are uploaded now. I missed the last speaker so, if anyone has footage of him then please let me know and I'll be glad to link it or embed it here. New videos after the page break.It's obvious to me that these are normal, God fearing folks. Everyone I spoke to at this event was courteous and well mannered. These are simply people who see their liberties being eroded away and have awakened to the fact that we are the frog in the proverbial pot. I would venture a guess that most of these people, myself included, until a year ago, had never been to a political rally in their lives. I wonder how anyone can be scared by that? I find it heartening.
Thank God for all of you who attended. I stand beside you and salute you, American Patriots!
I almost forgot to add that You can join the Southeast Texas TEA Party by following this link. If you live elsewhere you can find one here. Just look for your state.
Great turnout ! Great patriots !
UPDATE: Posted this yesterday from my phone. As of now, I'm working to get the video chopped to YouTube size and uploaded so, bear with me, please. My partner in crime also has some still shots and I'll be linking those as well when he gets off his a$$ and does whatever those photographer guys do. Cheers!
Meanwhile, check out RS McCain's site for info on the Washington Rallies.
Also, while I was at The Other McCain's place earlier today, I saw that Andrew Sullivan had found a way through the spam filter to spew some guttural sewage about the TEA Party. Needless to say, I couldn't stand for him dissin' my brothers in arms. You can check that out here.
UPDATE II: Why does it take like fo-eh-vah to upload video to YouToob? Got them cued up and on the way. It's sooo sloow...
UPDATE III: Finally got he first speaker uploaded. I'll keep updating this post as the vids reach the server.
Here is Ken Bowers. Please excuse my shaky hand. I'll go get the tripod in a bit.
UPDATE IV: My buddy uploaded his Tax Day TEA Party Pictures to an online album. Here is another speaker, Mona Lisa Chambers - after the jump.
More to come as they are available...
Hay! They're available!

Ok, It's a lazy man's link fest. The real world has a tendency to intrude on a dude every now and then. If you have the time, have a sample of these excellent Bloggers and their unique insights on the political weather patterns.
In continuing with the Guitar Wars thing Steve and a few others are doing at The Resistance, I offer another Austin, Texas musician.

Another, from when Stevie was a bit younger.

Oranges And White Bread Is A Healthy Dinner, Right? (If Not, I Seriously Think I'm Going To Die)
*Whew* My little experiment in time saving just cost me an hour immersed in code trying to clean up Blogger's extra "stuff". And it still doesn't look right. ~ We live and learn, some of us slower than others. :) There's a saying that is made for this moment. "You've got to be smarter than the sh*t your effin' with." I agree.
Cheers everyone! Have a great day!
Leo Kottke: Because Smitty Made Me Think of Him...
>> April 6, 2010
and most of you won't know who I'm talking about. I'm not speaking of Smitty, you know Smitty don't you? That musical librarian?
No, I'm speaking of Leo Kottke. One of the best unknown guitarists in the world.
We're going to fix that. Sit back and enjoy...
God and Government - part 2
>> April 3, 2010
In the real world, while discussing some things that I believe pertaining to God and faith, a couple of my friends on separate occasions have labeled me a Zionist. I'll confess, I'm unsure what that term exactly means in the true definition because it seems to have several different connotations and explanations. I only use the term here as a reference point to another issue.
The topic under discussion was the Tribulation and the return of Christ as foretold in the book of Revelation. The reason we were discussing it was my belief that we, each of us, has a hand in how fast or slow that prophecy approaches.
It is said that Thomas Jefferson's motto was "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." I happen to agree. I think that if tyranny grows, then the dark hours of the end of our world get closer. On the other hand, if we fight back tyrants and put them in their proper place, then we delay the time of the Great Second Coming. (Just think of how much closer we would be if Hitler would have won.)
I know there are those fruitcakes out there who think it's their job to accelerate the pace of this little party called Armageddon but I don't agree. It's not God's style. Why wouldn't he want the Second Coming postponed as long as possible? It's a win-win. God get's more converts and we get to stay here in freedom a while longer. The longer it takes to get here, the more worshippers for him.
I think this is why they used the term Zionist, because I believe in the Second Coming, but like I said before it may be a misunderstanding of the definition on their part or mine.
Along with this discussion, other questions have been raised. Thought provoking philosophical discussions as to destiny and free will and whether the book of Revelation is actually prophecy or just John sitting in a cave in exile being pissed off and writing a rant at the dude who stuck him there.
Me? I happen to believe it is prophesy, which led one friend to go down the destiny road and say "If it's destined to happen, then you can't do any thing about it." To which I replied ""Yes we can, we can help forestall it." Which then got into a free will vs destiny discussion. Personally, I have no problem with the two existing in the same world because if God is all knowing, then he is certainly able to know what you are going to choose before you choose it. That doesn't stop you from making the choice, nor does it force you to either.
Given today's philosophical rhetoric, Peter might have wanted to believe that he lacked a choice in denying Christ. The fact was, he did it of his own free will. Christ even told him about it up front. You would think that being forewarned about something would keep you from doing it, but he was scared for his own life and made the choice three times. The good thing was, he was forgiven the moment he did it. All he had to do was confess it. God's kinda cool like that.
One last thought. I wrote in God and Government part 1 about the power of prayer, urging all of us to pray for our country and its leaders. We need to continue interceding more than ever. Here is why:
I believe an interceding prayer is powerful not only in helping the person being prayed for, it helps the person doing the praying. I believe that when one intercedes for another, you are closer to God's will than at any other time. It is possibly at those moments when God has as close a thing to a direct connection to you than any other. Didn't he say "Pray without ceasing?" I believe that when we intercede for another we are acting in a godly fashion. Isn't there a verse that instructs us to "Act as if you have faith and faith will be given to you." or something like that? If not, it sure sounds good.
The bottom line is this. God loves us. He wants us to be like him. He doesn't want anyone to die. He gave us free will and a choice to make. The question is, what choice are you making? Keep in mind, as the band Rush put it so plainly "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
God loves you, friend. Happy Easter.

Cut Taxes? Spur Capital Investment? Increase Employment?
Senate: Nah.
We'll just extend unemployment instead.
Let's make sure everyone remains on the government dole shall we?
Via Open Congress:
And they call the republicans the party of no?
I think the repubs need to get a little louder on all fronts.

Via Open Congress:
I think we've been over this before...The Senate has just passed a $140 billion bill includes an extension for unemployment benefits through the end of the year, tax credits and billions in emergency aid to states.One week after approving a 30-day extension of unemployment benefits (H.R.4691), the Senate today passed the American Workers, State, and Business Relief Act (H.R.4321), which provides a longer-term extension of those benefits. Specifically, the bill extends federal unemployment assistance through Dec. 31 and provides a 65 percent subsidy for COBRA health insurance premiums. The coverage is retroactive to Feb. 28.
And they call the republicans the party of no?
I think the repubs need to get a little louder on all fronts.

A thought...
What a great and terrible time to be living in America.
We have the challenge and opportunity to do something never before accomplished in modern times; to turn back the incoming tide of socialism and tyranny that besets our country by using the tools that our Founders provided (at least what there is left of them). To that end, every free voice should lend itself to the dull roar mounting against tyranny, rising until such powers are torn asunder or else fall to the aristocracy and despotism that attempt to corrupt the very soul of our nation.
Or, in the immortal words of Bob Marley:
Get Up Stand Up. Stand Up For Your Rights. Get Up Stand Up. Don't Give Up The Fight!
