Yes! Virginia, There is a Santa Claus. Yes! Virginia, There is a God.

I was feeling low on the Holidays because my husband had passed on many years ago, and the 24th of December would have been our 70th Wedding Anniversary. Also, on New Year’s night, our first-born son took his own life years ago.

Then Santa Claus left a very precious gift on my porch – a little log cabin made of cracker sticks with a tiny angel in the window, a tiny lady in an evening gown and a tiny Xmas tree all decorated up inside the house. Also, Santa brought me jars of homemade jelly and my son and grandson took me out to eat a grand meal.

My spirits were lifted up from the gift of their giving.

A great big thanks goes out to them, to Santa, and last but not least, to God, who never lets me down.

County Politics

County politics are different from State and Federal because quite often we personally know some or all of the candidates. I have heard so often, “I have known him/her all their life — they are really a good person. I don’t argue with that EXCEPT!!

Did that person choose to support the Democrat party for the good of the county residents — OR — did they choose that party because it had always been the ruling party and was their best chance to win the election? Is that self-interest? Did they even care what that party platform vowed to make into law? Legalization of drugs – tax-payer supported abortion – gay marriage – removal of all traces of God in our everyday lives?

Each candidate pays money to run on the ticket of his choice and swears allegiance to that party. Choosing which party you support is as easy as going to that County Chairman and filing an application.

Who do you support? The candidate who chose family values or the candidate who chose on the basis of self-interest. Remember the local Democrat party has openly accepted many violations and still support their party faithful.

Come and Get It

I would like to say to whomever you are that took my Star Shower Laser Light from my front yard, that you can come back and get the original box to store it in. I have put it out on the front lawn where you removed the light. I will not give you the location because you know it already.

Hope your conscience will let you enjoy it. If not, you could return it – you would be blessed.

I want to say a “Big Thank You” to Connie Hunt for her letter on “County Politics”.
It is time, and way past time to hold the local and State Party people responsible for the actions of their National Party Leadership.
I still consider myself to be a Jeffersonian-Jacksonian ‘Democrat’, was raised a ‘Democrat’ (except for support for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower), and still at 72 must grit my teeth a bit to vote for the ‘Republican Party’. However Thomas Jefferson called the original Anti-Federalist Party the Democrat-Republicans and that makes it better.
The Problem is the “Democrat Party” does not exist anymore. It is long gone like the Carrier Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, and the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker! The party started morphing into the socialist Democrat Party with the FDR administration, took a strong left swing under LBJ, and became permanently Socialist-Democrat under Jimmy Carter and the Clintons.
Now under the Obama Administration there is a farther shift. No longer satisfied with a Democrat Party with socialist leanings, the current leadership have shifted to being the ‘Democrat-Socialist Party’. The ‘Inner-Circle’ are all Marxist/Alinskyites, neo-Federalists in their usurpation of powers belonging to the States and the People, and more interested in International-Socialism, the UN, international Reparations for “Global Warming”, and becoming the World’s Refugee Camp, than “supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America”. The Party is unabashedly Socialist (Marxist) using only the façade of “Democracy” and the promises of “Free Stuff” to get votes from greedy parasites, the unwary, and hard-core communists that want to be part of the New Regime.
In the past I have tried to separate the person from the Party, but that is no longer possible. If you march under the Marxist Banner of Socialism, you are a SOCIALIST, even if you try to fool yourself into believing you are a “Democrat” that still supports the Constitution.
We need a “Constitution Party”, a “Texas First State Party” and an “America First National Party” all rolled into one, but we don’t have that, so we are forced to make do with the Republican Party. There is a small ‘revolution’ brewing there as the last of the Constitutional Patriots are trying to wrest control from the RINOs of the Washington Cartel.
Be careful how you vote, if you want America and Texas to remain free. Any vote for a Democrat-Socialist is a vote for neo-Federalist tyranny. Their direction is locked-in, the only variable is the speed. Help stop it now.
