Cowboy Rules for Texas and the Rest of the Wild West

Cowboy rules for Texas and the rest of the Wild West
With all of the problems this great Country has had to endure it is amazing that SHE has survived. We are being choked by illegal immigration, and we have a President that wants open borders and is doing nothing to curb the flow of illegal immigrants.
I received this e-mail recently, which I have to share, bare in mind I did not write the post, however, it shows what many Americans feel about this unchecked flow of ILLEGALS and those fools that support ‘em..
I have lived, loved, lost and loved again. Life is not easy…but it is what it is.
Texas Cowboy rules as they apply to Yankees and other foreigners:
1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head ain’t crooked.
3. Let’s get this straight: it’s called a ‘gravel road.’ I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. That’s why they smell like cattle. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? I-10 & I-20 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one and go.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed. We have $250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. Most every person in the Wild West waves, It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin’ in during a hunt, we WILL shoot it outta your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat trout, salmon, bass, bream, catfish, deer, elk and rattle snake. You really want sushi and caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.
9. The ‘Opener’ refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for WOMEN. That’s applied to all WOMEN, regardless of age.
11. No, there’s no ‘vegetarian special’ on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah…we don’t care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat…IT AIN’T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring ‘Coke’ into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring ‘Mary Jane’ into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards – it spooks the fish.
16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump ain’t music, anyway. We don’t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!
A true Texan will blog this and send it to a few friends that probably won’t get it, but we’re friendly so we share in hopes you can begin to understand what a real life is all about!!
And there is more…
The Texas COWBOY Solution to save Gasoline.
OBAMA wants us to cut the amount of gasoline we use…..
The best way to stop using so much gasoline is to deport 15 million illegal immigrants!
That would be 15 million less people using our gas.
The price of gas would come down..
Bring our troops home from Afghanistan to guard the borders..
When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the Border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Afghanistan..
Tell him if he wants to come to AMERICA then he must serve a tour in OUR military.
Give him a soldier’s pay while he’s there and tax him on it.
After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal resident.
This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Afghanistan and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.
Like I said, I did not pen this article, I will say this however, it is not to far off on how many Americans feel about the illegal immigration problem we have in this country.  I embrace all of the immigrants that are here. Even more so, because they got here the right way. It is not right that the the hard work of Americans pay the way for the ones who are here illegally.
I close by saying, have a nice day…

h/t to TexasFred for this bit of sunshine from the Lone Star State. Thanks.

I like this. Just the facts Ma'am. Thank you.

What do you think of this "verifier"?

Some things are more clear than others. This is one of those.

Obama has been an absolute and total FAILURE as president.

The man has no clothes, no shame, and no game..

Very little hat, and NO CATTLE!!!

Czar's HAVE limits AND BOUNDARIES, even if not honored!!!

A Czar cannot within constitutional boundaries claim power and authority unilaterally by regulation, "executive privilege" or by assumption, even in and especially not in "emergencies".

When they act like mini-kings, or monarchs or Marxists or totalitarianists, then they immediately usurp power beyond that which they have been "DELEGATED", and immediately breach the trust of their position which should make inviolate any action taken by them or others under their direction.

Instead, they should immediately be brought up on charges against the Constitution and the Republic and "WE, the PEOPLE" that they SHOULD be SERVING!!!.

AS WELL AS the executive who appointed them - acts of an agent extent to the principle. BOTH ARE GUILTY.

One man's researched version of Obama's history and identity. A MUST READ!!

For those with eyes to see, and ears to hear and minds that can and will understand . . . 
for all the rest, let us know how that koolaid works out for you.


Check out post/comment 17 - Interesting history from BIOCHEMKY. Very interesting. 

Harry - FAIL!!!

More ignorance of the part God played and continues to play in the very existence of this nation!! 


You are reading from a SCRIPT, Harry!!! Get it right, even in a historical context. Words have meaning.


God will not long suffer such outright rebellion and apostasy from the leaders of this great nation, I hope. I think it incumbent on each and every one of "We the People" to help them see the error of their ways, and their destruction of the fabric and the foundation of the faith and future of this great nation, oir help them see the road out and feel the door hit as they exit. 


If there be a choice, and there most assuredly is, then either they change or they go. Simple as that. The loss of our nation and its foundation and it's impact on the rest of the world of that loss of the centerplace of freedom and liberty is not a viable option. Especially when compared with a few hundred despots trying to stay in power. 


Just sayin' !!! 

ENOUGH!!! Alamo line in the sand by Jim Bowie's knife w/ Davey Crockett near - it is HERE!!

Democrats in control of Congress and the White House for two years failed to produce a budget! Then a little push from newly elected members of  "other side" and they all "work together" to get something done - they get agreement on a new resolution for a WEEK. THEY push out the problem a week and fail to del with the core issues, again as in the last 40-50 years!!

Posturing. that is ALL this IS!! IT is even less than that!! IT is the appearance of clothes on all involved!! They have no clothes, perspective or courage to face the reality of the situation TODAY and deal with the implications into the future!!

To save $36+ Billion for the remainder of this fiscal year (that is over in only 5 MONTHS!!) on a $14+ TRILLION debt, that goes up DAILY by MORE than your vaunted "savings" is a raindrop in the ocean.

And you are BRAGGING about this? 

REALLY???? Seriously?????

And worse, WTP (We, The People) are letting you get away with this and not storming the gates and running ALL of Y'ALL out of DC on RAILS? 

REALLY??

Sheep getting sheared and some soon to be slaughtered comes to mind ... as does wolves deciding what's for dinner with the sheep having no vote.

Where are WE the SHEEPDOGS to run these wolves out of the fold, out of their warm, plush complacency, and the sheep out of THEIRS??

The total debt was below a trillion just years ago. I told myself then that if the debt ever started being reported in TRILLIONS, then it was over, and we lost it. And now our great piece of work leadership in the Congress and the Executive branch have created an ANNUAL DEFICIT in trillions?

REALLY???

 That is the best y'all can do - oh yeah, with OUR MONEY, NOT YOURS!! Especially those that have been up there MULTIPLE TERMS, many like DECADES!!!

REALLY????

Yes, I am angry at this travesty we call "government" that is nothing short of pillaging the hard work of the middle of America that plays by the rules and continue in the delusion thinking the "leaders" care and do as well.

Sorry for the flames and fire!! The outburst will be held back from my facebook account and in the future be found here on my blog,

http://texas-bred.blogspot.com/ 

until I create a political rant only place to motivate We the SHEEPLE,  

Starting with and INCLUDING ME!!

Action, not words will save this country.

I will be calling my elected representatives EARLY, OFTEN and vociferously until they GET it that the old way of bi-partisanship is OVER. That it will need to be about them fighting for me against the status quo and their "esteemed colleagues" (partners in crime!!) and fight for you and me, the electorate.

And We, the People that know what is Constitutional and right have to get the gumption to confront those among us in the electorate that willingly support this travesty of our freedoms, just so they can get theirs without working as hard for it as WE do who produce it!!

Civil wars have been fought over less!!

And if it takes modern day patriots, REAL patriots, to stand up and be counted, to fight for the legacy and freedom and liberty handed down from our Creator through generations of our forefathers, against those in our very midst who would destroy it as we know it, then let the call go forth for Freedom this day, and let me bravely stand with those PATRIOTS!!

Let the Title of Liberty be hoisted, and the great and terrible Stars and Stripes be unfurled for all the world to see!!

We have issued a plea for peace and a return to the rule of law, and honor of our rights granted by our CREATOR!! Yet they will not!

These modern day Kingmen have laid siege just as great as those in former days - who willfully usurp our rights and liberties enjoying the opulence of royalty and privilege while leaving us, our families and our future families destitute and straining under the weight of oppressive debt, unrighteous regulation and dominion and our country in shambles.

 I am DONE sitting quietly by "letting" it happen, as I wring hands and bemoan what "they" do to "us". I am DONE with those of my countrymen who do the same.

WE/They do it by MY/OUR inaction, and by MY/OUR FAILURE to stand for "truth, justice and the American way"!! (How many of you have read this far and remember that slogan - Who said it? )

Gandalf in regal majesty withstood the Balrog face to face in sacrificial challenge declaring "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!"

Like the 115 brave and valiant patriots in the Alamo who did the same. Bowie. Crockett. Allen. Cain. Carey. "Wash" Cottle. Cummins. Darst. Dennison. Despallier. Dickinson [one of the Old Eighteen]. Esparza. Goodrich. Grimes. Harrison. Holland. Travis and so many more. (Many who also rode as the "Immortal 32" in Gonzales Mounted Rangers, or were part of the artillery company "The Immortals")

We must have the courage to stand as he did, to plant our staff, HERE, NOW and DECLARE ENOUGH!!

To be worthy of the legacy of the Founding Fathers, WE, I first, and WE COLLECTIVELY must be willing to AND THEN STAND in the breech and declare our part with the Freemen against oppression and corruption in high places.

We must, I MUST, each of YOU MUST as WE band together as they did, those  Signers of The Declaration of Independence, and countless many have since declared with a united voice ...

"And for the support of this Declaration (and by extension the Constitution which it preceded), with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

To reach the unreachable star, to have given all the effort of which I am capable, this is a fight for our very lives if we see the end that is attached to the actions of today.

May we each wake up! And then warn our neighbor, inviting them to stand with us and join the fray.

First step is repentance and getting ones personal house in order, and getting right with ones Creator. Then join the battle against those that would attempt to deprive you and all of us of that which HE gave us - our rights, our country, our families, wives, husbands, children, our religion, our freedom and our lives. 

Political labels lost luster and legitimacy.

Labels have lost luster and legitimacy, especially in the political arena. Representative? Patriot? Defender of Freedom? Democrat/Republican? Conservative? Liberal?

I am DONE with political labels as a determinant or identification of and individuals support or defense of the Constitution and this republic upon which it stands.

Maybe it is just social labels or political labels, yet even value labels have been distorted, corrupted and changed to the point that what was bad is now called good, and good called bad. Likely the nature has not changed, just the label or more likely the standard or definition on which the label is based.

It seems to apply to politicians, elected or appointed public office holders, even govt employees - just about everyone -  yes, including me. What one call oneself and what others call one seems not to matter anymore, if "matter" means "is accurate in describing character, values or traits".

Easy test - one is what one does!!! With apologies to Forrest Gump who had it right all along - " 'X' is as 'X' does", or my version " What X does, is!"

Fruit is the deciding factor. Fruit, in the form of action and/or result from one's action is always produced. The question is - what KIND of fruit is produced? Does one produce good fruit or bad? fwiw, talk and promises, grandstanding, signs, speeches and photo ops are NOT fruit, either singular OR plural!!!

Labels do not assign or grant to anyone character, personal traits, capabilities, honor or virtue, good or evil. "A rose by any other name is still a rose."

Actions reveal character. Personal and private actions reveal personal and private character. External facades, labels, and temporary status symbols such as position or office held, houses, cars or clothes, even for an Emperor, do not "make the man" or woman. Not their attainment, but what is done with them is most revealing.

Labels are tied to definition - measurement and comparison or reference to a standard. It is the often the difference in standards that limit the usefulness of labels, especially between those whose beliefs, standards and roots are different.

Here in America, that standard is the Constitution of the United States.

As to anyone elected and/or appointed, or in advisory or other capacity of influence, be it the legislative, executive or judicial branches of federal, state or local government, I do look critically to see if they act by and in defense of our Constitutional Republic or if/when they trample the principles and values upon which it stands and which are embodied in it's standards - it's founding and controlling documents, principally the Constitution.

It is when actions result from adherence or deference to some other standard that labels such as Representative, Politician or Partisan become corrupted and useless.

If one uses some other basis for action especially in opposition or subversion of or treason against those principles, then political labels especially become not only meaningless, but worse - they become deceptively MIS-leading!!  It then becomes the coat worn before the camera to "appear" to be one thing while inwardly being something different, possibly opposite of what one appears.

I am done with political labels!!  Dem, Rep, RINO, Liberal, Conservative, TeaParty, Progressive, etc.  They are all meaningless now ...

I am DONE with political wolves in sheepdog's clothing barking "woof, woof" while they eviscerate and feed on the very sheep they exist to protect!!! Wolves in sheep's clothing are fairly easy to detect. Not so easy when they masquerade as sheepdogs!!! But the true sheepdog KNOWS!!

Let it be the one who walks the walk, not just talks the talk in support of constitutional principles that earns my vote, my support, my appreciation and my hand of friendship. That is the label I understand.

Let all others earn my identification and disclosure of and resistance to their attempts at treason, subversion and corruption of those principles and the foundations of this country and it's culture.

Some labels, mostly personal ones, still work - trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. Others unfortunately also apply - greed, graft, corruption, dishonesty, pride, lust for power, while unrepentant liars still lie and thieves still steal.

I am not perfect. Never claimed to be and see the need to and do repent daily when I sin or make mistakes. I strive to withhold personal judgment of people using labels good or bad, saved or damned - that's God's job.

I do confess to being occasionally weary at the hypocrisy, deception and treason of the very foundation of this great nation by so many in positions of authority, power and influence, here and abroad.

When collectively 'We, the People" recognize the risks and return to our reason, and support, encourage and elect representatives truly dedicated to those principles, and then hold them accountable to us for their actions and their votes, we can hope that our national life based on them is yet ahead, possibly for us, but mostly for our children and our children's children's children. 

May God bless America, as we return to trust and obedience in honor and of His sovereignty and benevolence as the grantor of our inalienable rights. May we together "'praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation". What a singular blessing to live in this "heav'n rescued land", a "land of the free and home of the brave". May each of us be the" freemen (and women) who stand between our loved home and the war's desolation", and sing with one voice and in our daily walk in life the strong refrain of our national anthem - including the 4th verse!!

The other verses remind us of many of those founding principles so clearly and eloquently expressed in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in our form of government outlined in the and the Constitution. Lyrics for all four verses are shown in this clip:

Mr. President, is it really that hard to follow the law? Really?

Mr. President, is it really that hard to follow the law? Really? 


And you were a lawyer admitted to the Bar at one time? 


Now you openly defy a judicial ruling on merit based on specific reference to the Constitution, that which you are sworn by oath to uphold and defend, AND FOLLOW? 


REALLY? 


Why don't you just admit the job is above your skill grade, and quitely tender your resignation? 


I would settle for no admission, and a pass out the back door. 


You, sir, are not a leader. You are not even a good role model or honest. Yes, I am that disgusted. 


YEAH REALLY!!! 

BE the Goodness and Excellence that you want to give to others

‎”Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway.”
~ Mother Teresa

BE the GOODNESS (your BEST self - Be Excellent) that you would have others receive, so that you have that goodness to give. That effort to be good, to be excellent, helps you and them. It blesses double!!! 


That’s what makes goodness matter!
