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.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... ...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag,....the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

High Court Allows Cross on Mojave Federal Land
In a recent 5 to 4 decision the Supreme Court reversed a lower court in California that had ordered the removal of a 8 foot tall Cross that had stood in the Mojave National Preserve since 1934 as a memorial to the soldiers of World War I.
Five Justices to four Justices,.....can you believe it? If one voted the other way you would probably soon see cases to remove cross in National Military Cemetarys.
When is this crap going to stop? Correct thinking Americans understand that the First Amendment, which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances", means that the Federal Government cannot make a National Religion. Correct thinking Americans also know that this country was founded on Christian-Judeo beliefs and concepts, and despite Obama trying hard to change it, we are still a Christian Nation.
By the Way, the Supreme Court reversed the lower court's ruling, sending the case back to California (oh great) so the lower court can re-look it's decision "in light of a policy of accomodation".
Are you feling like me that the only Americans not be "accomodated" are conservative, tax paying Christians wanting a small Federal government?
