Our Father, Which Art Armed in Heaven …

January 20, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

The post below gives you a visual of the I-Will-Kill-You Rally in Austin yesterday.

But there’s sound, too.

You will remember State Rep Steve Toth from East Texas who wants to make it illegal to enforce federal law in Texas.  Well, of damn course, he was a speaker at this I-Clip-Coupons-For-Ammo event.

More than 600 people gathered on the Texas Capitol grounds Saturday for a rally against President Barack Obama’s proposals to curb gun violence.

“I do hope you will call your politicians,” said state Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, adding that the crowd should also reach out to their church pastors to get the pro-gun message out. “We don’t need more laws.”

Oh yeah, nothing says I love Sweet Jesus like something coming out of the barrel of a gun.

And 600 people came, which means that 25,674,081 people did not.

Hey, amendment does have a whole lot of letters

And in other glorious gun news, only 5 people got shot at Gun Appreciation Day rallies yesterday.   And Dick Cheney wasn’t even there.

And by the way, on Friday there was a guy in Georgetown, Texas,  who apparently was walking to the Gun Appreciation Rally in Austin.

Georgetown police arrested a man today after receiving a call that he was dressed in camouflage and carrying a rifle while walking around a neighborhood, police said.

Jerrid Wilha was arrested on an outstanding warrant out of Travis County, police said. The 28-year-old Georgetown resident was not arrested in connection with carrying the rifle

He was carrying the weapon in the 700 block of FM 1460 about half a mile from Purl Elementary School at 1700 Laurel St. at 10:58 a.m., police said.

The school was locked down as a precautionary measure.

So, if sumdamnfool is walking around your neighborhood in cammo carrying a rifle, it’s okay.  Just try not to act like a deer.  Or maybe even a person.  Maybe we can limit that to an alive person.

And if the Gun Irony Fairy hasn’t sprinkled enough glitter on you yet, at the Raleigh, North Carolina, Dixie Gun Show two people were shot and a firearms instructor, hired as a security guard, left his security firearm in the bathroom.

So, today there’s a new message on the door of the Dixie Gun Show:

“The Show WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW 1/20/2013 at 10am

NO PERSONAL FIREARMS ARE TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE SHOW.”

We’re not about Second Ammenment Amenent Admenmant Whatever Rights.  We are about taking your money.

Thanks to Sam and Carl for the heads up.

My Friend, Huey, Who Can Spell

I think I’ve introduced y’all to my friend Huey Fischer, who writes a dandy blog when he’s not busy being a legislative aide in Austin for the good guys.

Huey was in Austin today and took these actual pictures with his actual cellphone of actual pro-gun demonstrators in front of the actual Capitol building.

Click the little ones to get the big ones.

And neither shall the first or third amedmet.


Ammendment?  Close, real close.

Hey, third try is the charm.  Too bad about that un.

Thanks again to Huey, who is my favorite Stubb’s Mac and Cheese partner. Hook ’em, Hon.

Right after Attorney General Greg Abbott sent a welcome to Yankees to come on down to Texas, the owner of a bank in Chappell Hill took in the welcome mat.

Ed Says, "Damn Yankees!"

A bank in the small Texas town of Chappell Hill is inviting customers to bring in concealed handguns because it has been robbed five times, “all of them by Yankees.”

“You never know who’s sitting in this bank,” Chappell Hill Bank President Ed Smith told KHOU. “If you’re coming in to rob it, I think you’re going to be in a world of hurt.”

Maybe Ole Banker Ed needs needs to stock up on confederate currency.

And Banker Ed is a bit of a political problem solver, too.

The bank president also suggested that new gun control laws were not the way to prevent mass shootings like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

“Everybody wants the government to do something,” Smith opined. “People need to do things for themselves.”

Yeah, come to think of it, those kids in Sandy Hook did a pretty poor job of taking care of themselves.

Thanks to Irene for the heads up.

They Have a Cure But You Can’t Have It

Keller, Texas, produces some very weird people.  Remember when they tried to charge parents of children on free or reduced lunches $100 a semester to ride the school bus?  And that if you don’t own a gun, you can’t be a Christian?  And their State Rep who wants to give the states power to override the federal government?

Well, they found the cure for diabetes there.

But you can’t have it.

They are going to use it to save the souls of Communist Chinese.  The plan, you see, is that they are going to send some Christians to the heads of communist governments and start by curing their families.  And then, these heads of communist countries will allow Christians to come in and convert everyone in exchange for the cure.  That’s why you can’t have it.  And I’m sure you think it’s worth it.

Here’s the plan.

You’ll also love the comments under the You Tube.

Keller, Texas, where Christians hide things – including the love of Sweet Jesus.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

And They’re Off … No, Seriously, There’s No Races. They’re Just Off.

Bless their hearts.

You know there is a God and you know she has a great sense of humor when the poor Republicans keep having things like this happen.

The Republicans are having a retreat in Williamsburg, Virginia this week.

Reporters quickly noted that a session for lawmakers called “Discussion on Successful Communication with Minorities and Women” will actually take place in the “Burwell Plantation” room at the resort where the retreat is being held.

It turns out, according to NBC News, the room “is named after the Burwell Family, a wealthy family that owned many slaves in 18th century Southern Virginia.”

And when one reporter tried to ask the GOP leaders about the irony of that, they didn’t get it.  Which made God giggle more.

And then there’s women.

The New York Times reports the panel discussion on how to communicate with minorities and women included three white lawmakers. Walden had to note that the panel would include several women, whom he identified as “a woman from CNN” and “Sean Duffy’s wife.”

Sean Duffy’s wife?  That there is some feminist credentials, Honey.  (They won’t get that either.)
