Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
She seems nice.
1New Waverly, TX? Hey, she’s one of our own. And a leftie, to boot. As for the thing on her head, I don’t think it’s a Bumpit. I think it’s a spare gopher, ’cause you never know when you’re going to need one.
2Any bets that someone trying to meet the American Challenge shoots themselves by accident while trying to pose for a photo?
3Sigh.
4Face plant.
At least she hasn’t her bloody finger on the trigger. And by the way, John Browning wishes desperately from the grave she would put his greatest invention down. Gently. She does not deserve to own it.
What is that fuzzy stuff? Pit hair? Custom cat skin gun cover?
5sigh….I got nothin’
6It’s her cat.
7Dear Sweet Renee: I’m a Marine veteran, a Christian, an American citizen, and a gun owner. In none of those roles would I take a picture of myself or anyone else with that sour hateful expression and the pictorial fallacy that those a flag, a Bible and a gun belong together.
I prefer to advertise my country with less repellent images and honor it by voting, by serving it in both military and civilian life, by protecting the Constitutional rights–all of them–of other citizens.
I prefer to honor my religion by trying to live as Jesus said to do (try the Gospel of Matthew.) I don’t thump or brandish a Bible or any other text: I actually read the thing and pay attention to what the words mean.
I prefer to exercise my 2nd amendment rights by owning my firearms without bragging about it, using them for typical country chores like shooting sick animals or the sheep we’re going to butcher and eat, and not alarming others by brandishing my guns or carelessly damaging their property or their bodies.
Although: if you show up at my house looking like that, I will be glad to alarm you very firmly with a variety of weaponry that includes among other things a large cast-iron skillet capable of making your head ring, a broom with an old-fashioned heavy wooden handle, a lunge whip, an unabridged dictionary, a worn-out heavy computer keyboard, or a coffee-can full of bacon grease: you deserve to be repelled firmly with embarrassing weapons you haven’t a clue how to use. But the guns are in the mix should I choose. Just in case you’re inclined to think “liberals” are wimps.
For the rest of you: And if you think that willingness to smack this lady in the face with a glob of bacon grease, or belabor her with a broom casts doubt on my claim to be a Christian, I never said I was a GOOD Christian. I’m just better than I would be as something else. You’ll have to trust me on that; I remember my earlier self well. As for her being scary…no. Disgusting, yes. Contemptible, yes. Mean, no doubt about it. Scary…well, SHE thinks she is, which means I think she would wilt like a souffle in a norther.
8Bravo, Elizabeth. You said it perfectly! I hope you put it on her Facebook page. Or maybe I will. : )
9When Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. Sinclair Lewis, 1935. True then as it is today.
10Elizabeth–
*That* goes on her Facebook page…although she’d never understand…
11What would Jesus shoot?
12What I like is the commenter who said he guessed he could “brower” a gun if it weren’t too heavy. Geez Louise.
13The trifecta of a proud ‘Murican patriot: gun, bible, flag. Though I swear I don’t understand what god’s love and shooting the bejebus out of every living thing have to do with each other.
14I don’ t think you should talk about the way someone looks. But seriously, who still uses wallpaper borders as a chair rail anymore. Put down the gun and turn on HGTV.
15This will make Fun With Guns a lot more interesting.
16I think the lady lacks understanding. It isn’t “My country right or wrong!” Carl Schurz actually said “My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right; if wrong, to be set right.” Being an American patriot isn’t about supporting every damn stupid thing America does, it’s about fixing the things we do wrong.
17Oto Cantu, you beat me to it.
Surprise, lady– plenty of people can be good Americans without holding a Bible or a gun. And I’m with Peter Ustinov: “I can pledge no allegiance to a flag until I know who is holding it.”
18I don’t do Facebook, folks. I spend too much time online as it is (including, yes, Twitter). Sorry. And I need to clean the cast-iron skillet from the lovely mess of eggs and fried potatoes (done in bacon grease) last cooked in it. The eggs-and-potatoes thing is so much better cooked in an iron skillet, but it does stick. (It’s not a “frittata.” That’s a fancy-dan version that–in recipes I’ve seen–involves other stuff as well. This is plain old leftover cold boiled potatoes in some hot bacon grease with eggs broken on top of them, and then messed back and forth with a spatula until they’re as done as the family likes. Add salt & pepper–and if you want, picante sauce.)
19Lynne:
20I don’t think it would be her cat. Cats have better sense to associate with RWNJs holding a Bible and a gun at the same time. I’ll bet it’s one of those little yippy dogs. They’re do anything as long as you feed them from an expensive little can.

21snipped from The American Spectator for your reading pleasure…
“Jesus in the Gospels did not bear arms. But the whole message of scripture and Christian tradition carefully allows that some of His followers may be called to bear and deploy weaponry in certain circumstances where justice requires. The ultimate question is not so much What Would Jesus Do but rather What Does Jesus Tell Us to Do?”
Elizabeth said “I never said I was a GOOD Christian. I’m just better than I would be as something else. You’ll have to trust me on that; I remember my earlier self well.” Thanks for defining my life so well. Great post. Can I roster with attribution to you?

23If you feel the need to show the world you are a patriotic ‘murrican,you prolly aren’t. Matter of fact,you look like a typical,rightwing,arrogant freakin’ maroon.
24I wonder whether she knows how much she’s helping Islamic extremists in their recruiting efforts? I’ve always thought Ronald (the Great Con Artist) Reagan and the Ayatollah Khomeini had an agreement to make inflammatory statements about each other to get their respective unpopular domestic agendas passed on a wave of jingoism.
25Seriously???!!!? As a long time Colorado boy who moved to Texas…..I may just have to become a long time Colorado Boy once again. You are beginning to frighten me with this stuff, Juanita…..
26Renee seems a bit angry. “Just walk away Renee” and maybe put down that stuff and help your fellow Americans who may need food, clothing and shelter. THAT is the true American Challenge (and the message of the Lord)
27Skippy’s “She seems nice” just hits me so doggone funny that I can’t stop chuckling about it.
And, Elizabeth … I love your comment … it is so right on the target for these yahoos who think all it takes is the flag, their Bible and whatever firearm they have handy!! It is just so scary and it’s getting worse!! These folks honestly think that is what it takes to win elections and to run this country and we simply cannot let them even get close to trying it “their way!”
28Renee, girl, you done been played. Somebody had the desire to make a fool of you! Now put down all that stuff and do something useful like help out at the local soup kitchen.
29Dang!
30Nothing like a flag, a gun and a Bible as fashion accessories to hit on disrespect, st00pid and blaspheme in one shot.
31Seiously, Renee? Your middle name is Benghazi? And when you’re not clutching the Holy Trinity of Wingnuttia (flag gun bible) how do you occupy your time? Watching Fox News? Listening to Rush Limbaugh? Ransacking the refrigerator for another snack?
32“There’s no place that I’d rather be than right here
33With my red necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer”
Why can’t crazy ladies in New Waverly just raise cats, like crazy ladies everywhere else?
34What a frikin’ moran.
35@Micr #21:
Matthew 26:52: Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish by the sword.
36In her defense, I think that’s a camo baseball cap on her head. But that’s as much defense as I can muster.
37Y’all done said it all. What connection the flag, the Bible and a gun have with one another I haVe no idea.
38I do not accept her American Challenge because I am not a right-wing fool with tapioca for brains.
So that would be why.
39The things that I notice are, dirty T-shirt, appears to be inside a trailer, no wedding ring and the Bible looks like it has not been used.
40Did anyone go to her website?

41I guess an Australian flag wouldn’t be the same.
Looks like they’re keeping it all in the fambly. There’s only one flag, one Bible, and one gun, but you can brower whichever you need.
