Proposed – A New Amendment to the Constitution

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.
“No branch of Government may compel any Citizen to participate in Commerce, nor may any Citizen be penalized or taxed for choosing not to participate in Commerce.”

That’s my humble submission for a new Constitutional Amendment.

Start Popping Out Those Future Taxpayers, Kids – Time to Share Your Wealth…

Posted on June 29, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.

.
All right, all of you young kids who couldn’t wait to vote for Obama back in 2008 – time for you guys to start “sharing the wealth” with those of us who are about to be hit with exorbitant tax rates thanks to Obamacare.

See, the way I see it, you owe us now.

You wanted Hope and Change? You wanted Free Health Care? Guess what – the Supreme Court of the United States just ruled that Obamacare is only constitutional if it is treated as a tax. And there is NOTHING that Congress loves more than taxing the citizenry.

I’ve sacrificed my entire life so that I could have money for retirement, and now the Federal Government is going to take an additional 9.5% of my husband’s hard-earned pay, then turn around and presume to tell me what medical care they are going to be gracious enough to allow me to have.

Screw that.

King Barack III

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.

.
Mere hours after the Supreme Court handed down their verdict on the fate of Arizona’s SB1070, the country was treated to this:

The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.

Ummm…did I just step through the looking glass into some “Bizarro World” version of America? The president is telling the United States Department of Homeland Security – the agency tasked with keeping American citizens safe from the threat of harm – that they are not to share vitally important information with one of the 50 states of the union?

The Real-Life “Fast and Furious” – More Twists and Turns Than a Hollywood Movie

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

The Obama Administration is responsible for killings on both sides of the US-Mexico border

Barack Obama and Eric Holder are hiding behind Executive Privilege in the hope that their involvement in the ATF program “Fast and Furious” – which ultimately resulted in the deaths of US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and at least 300 Mexican citizens (possibly including the brother of then-attorney general Patricia Gonzalez Rodriguez) – will not come to light.

Whether they like it or not, this issue is not going to disappear.

While Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder may not have been the ones who fired the guns which caused these deaths, it has become increasingly clear that the chain of evidence in this case can be traced back to the very highest levels of this administration:

I’m Going to Need a Bigger Bottle of Aspirin…..

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.

.
So here’s the latest story that is has been making the rounds:

A transgender man made a bold move on Friday during an extravagant White House reception in honor of LGBT Pride Month: he dropped down on one knee and proposed to his partner.

Scout, whose full name is legally one word, popped the question to Liz Margolies just minutes after President Barack Obama addressed the guests, many of whom are leaders in the LGBT community.

I knew there was a reason I didn’t take any Philosophy courses in college – this article could be a stand-alone Final Exam in any grad-level course:

“If a transgender man asks a lesbian to marry him, is she still a lesbian?”

The Bionic Woman

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.
Well, I guess my mom will soon be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound – she had knee replacement surgery this morning.
.

.
So watch out, world – she won’t be using that walker much longer!
(No word yet on whether the surgeons were able to make her look like this….)

.
Get well soon, Mom!
We love you ♥♥♥

So Now the President Gets to Decide Who Is an American Citizen?

Posted on June 18, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.

“Constitutional Scholar”, my ass….

I guess Mr. Obama thinks that he is the King of America, rather than the President. Because the last time I checked, the Chief Executive of the United States of America does not have the power to do an end-run around Congress, just because they aren’t doing what he wants them to do.

It matters not to Mr. Obama that Congress already took up the issue of the DREAM Act (in 2001, 2009, 2010, AND 2011), but no legislation has ever made it through both houses of Congress (including the two years when Democrats held a filibuster-proof majority in both chambers).

Easy as (Buttermilk) Pie

Posted on June 16, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.
Whenever we go to visit Paul’s mom, we know that there is always going to be pie.

Mary has these wonderful old cookbooks filled with recipes from long ago – all of those little “church” and “small town” cookbooks fit into one of her kitchen drawers. All of the recipes that Paul and his siblings grew up on are in that little drawer, and now that all of them are grown, those recipes have been copied and taken to new homes.

While Paul is perfectly happy with just pouring a can of cherry pie filling into a crust and calling it a day, I fell in love with the buttermilk pie that Mary makes – it’s sweet and lemony and oh-so-good.

Happy Flag Day!

Posted on June 14, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

..
What better way to celebrate this day than with a song specifically about the United States flag? Written by George M. Cohan in 1906 – and the first song from a musical to sell over a million copies of sheet music – “You’re a Grand Old Flag” has been popular for over a century:

The original lyric for this perennial George M. Cohan favorite came, as Cohan later explained, from an encounter he had with a Civil War veteran who fought at Gettysburg. The two men found themselves next to each other and Cohan noticed the vet held a carefully folded but ragged old flag. The man reportedly then turned to Cohan and said, “She’s a grand old rag.”

Cohan thought it was a great line and originally named his tune “You’re a Grand Old Rag.” So many groups and individuals objected to calling the flag a “rag,” however, that he “gave ’em what they wanted” and switched words, renaming the song “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

“My Name is Teresa, and I am a Blogaholic….”

Posted on June 13, 2012 by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX

.
.
About twice a year, Paul and I venture out to visit his family in the wilds of Southwest Texas – for a week or so at Christmas, and for a long weekend (longer if we stop in and visit his Mom) every June for a family reunion.

There is no Internet access at either of these locations.

I have become so used to my electronic tether, that I almost go into withdrawal when I am away from my usual haunts for that length of time. Pretty pathetic, huh?
