Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Governor Christie of New Jersey - Courage to Act
Chris Christie, who won the Governor's race in New Jersey on a wave of tax payer revulsion with Spend and Tax Democrats, puts the Democratic Legislature on notice in the below video. Governor Swarzenegger of California needs to pull a page from Governor Christie's book, as he demonstrates the Cowboy Ethics of Doing What Needs to Be Done, Keeping Promises he made on the campaign trail and, above all, Knowing Where to Draw the Line on out of control spending and taxation.

Florida Judge with Common Sense
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,"Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do.. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fool's Day. Psalm 14:1 in The Bible states, "The fool says in his heart, there is no God." Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, he already has a day.. April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."

Conversation with RNC Fund Raiser
Just had a phone conversation with a Republican National Convention fundraiser asking me if I would support, meaning making a monetary contribution for, Republican efforts to regain control of Congress and oust Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
I told the young man on the other end of the phone that I supported getting rid of each and every law maker in Congress, and that I wasn't prejudiced about it,....."I want them all out of there,..Democrats, Republicans,...all of them.
He gave me a song and dance about "sharing my frustration, etc." Blah, Blah. I told the young man to call me back once the Republicans start showing some leadership,......once they start showing some fiscal responsibility,.....and that the Republicans better start paying attention to the Tea Party movement rather than bashing it in the press as the "radical right".
