Frost My Butt

February 13, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Talk about Frosting my butt.

I know I should quit reading Martin Frost. It just makes me think that maybe Tom DeLay did do something nice for the Democratic Party – he helped us get rid of Martin Frost. Having even one single nice thought about Tom DeLay would make my hair fall out. I am sure of it. So, I have to quit reading Martin Frost.

For those of you from foreign states, Martin Frost was a congressman from Dallas who got slaughtered during the DeLay redistricting in Texas by Pete Sessions. Frost decided he could win by running away from the Democratic Party. He tried, like other Blue Dogs, to be Republican Lite. They got beat so bad they had to unzip their pants to see out.

The only two who survive to this day from DeLay’s sucker punch to white, male Democrats are Gene Green and Lloyd Doggett – the two who had the courage to stand for something other than just election. They are both unapologetic progressives.

But, back to Martin Frost.

In Politico, Frost wrote something called “Obama’s Religion Problem.”

I need to start with a disclaimer: I want President Barack Obama to be reelected, no matter whom the GOP nominates.

Having said that, I find disquieting parallels between the way Obama handled the recent dust-up with the Catholic Church and contraception and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process a year ago, when he talked about returning to pre-1967 borders.

Both these self-inflicted wounds involved important voting blocs crucial to his reelection Consider, the difference between carrying the Catholic vote — as he did with 52 percent in 2008 — and losing it would be significant in swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.

His opening statement tells us that he most certainly wants to reelect President Obama, but from reading the rest of the article, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why. Frost reminds me of the so-called Christians who have to remind you every five minutes that they are Christians because you sure can’t tell it by the way they act. If Martin Frost is for a president who puts politics before policy, then he needs to scamper on over to the GOP where he has been tottering for decades instead of trying to pull Democrats into the waiting arms of conservatism.

President Obama’s genius in solving the Catholic contraception issue is what happens when a leader has an open mind and is willing to lead. I heard a rabid feminist and a Catholic Nun praise President Obama on the same day with the solution. What women and Catholics see as government working to solve issues, Martin Frost sees as a self-inflicted religious wound.

My friend, Texas Gulf Coast Democratic media mogul and emailer, Carl Whitmarsh, keeps 10,000 area Democrats informed every day. He dutifully sends Frost’s weekly column from Politico to us. I want him to continue to do that so that I can have the exquisite pleasure of hitting the delete button when I see Frost’s name.

Go to Google.  Enter Romney.

Look at about the third or fourth entry, until you come to spreadingromney.com. Click it.

Thank you for your help in insuring that Mitt Romney never makes his dog ride on the roof of the car again.

Thanks to Ralph and Wonkette for the heads-up.

Girlfriend, Turn In Your Ta-Tas

I am woman, hear me yap like a little puppy dog.

Kansas State Senator Kay O’Connor (R, Dark Ages) has a unique theory about what is wrong with the world.

O’Connor was invited to speak at the Johnson County League of Women Voters luncheon dedicated to “Celebrate the Right to Vote”. O’Connor declined the invitation and added that, “You probably wouldn’t want me there because of what I would have to say.”

No shoot, Sherlock.

We have a society that does tear families apart. I think the 19th amendment, while it’s not an evil in and of itself, is a symptom of something I don’t approve of.

The 19th Amendment is around because men weren’t doing their jobs, and I think that’s sad. I believe the man should be the head of the family. The woman should be the heart of the family.

Now, I do not know anything about the “head” part that Mrs. O’Conner’s husband is failing to provide, but I definitely think she’s a woman who could use some.

Girlfriend, go home, put on an apron and leave this public office stuff up to us girls who can have a head and a heart at the same time.  And a booty train.

Thanks to Elsie for the heads-up.

“Severely” Serious

February 13, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I think Mitt Romney finally got it right when he called himself “severely conservative.”

Conservatives are truly severe.  Mostly about you.  They make severe cuts to the social safety net while waging severely expensive wars.  They severely want in your bedroom and severely hate your children after they are born. They severely hate the middle class and think education is severely unimportant.

Honey, they are as severe as forty miles of rough road.

He finally got it right.

Don’t miss the liberal woman’s hunka hunka burnin’ love, Paul Krugman this morning saying, “tinfoil hats have become a common, if not mandatory, G.O.P. fashion accessory.”

Newt Gingrich, they say, has a new strategy.

Newt Gingrich says he’s deploying a “Conservative Dream Team” to promote his presidential effort — including two Texans, Gov. Rick Perry and Chuck Norris.

Newt, Honey, I don’t know how to tell you this.  That’s not a dream, that’s a bad acid trip.

That Whole French Revolution Thing. I Get It Now.

February 12, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Y’all probably remember that Rick Santorum gave a wildeyed crazybutt speech that went like this:

They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution. What’s left is the government that gives you rights. What’s left are no unalienable rights, what’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that. But if we do and follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.

It was one of those wha……? moments.  French Revolution?  Huh?  What the dickens is that all about?

As a woman of faith and having been raised in the Baptist church (twice on Sunday and once in the middle of the week), I usually catch the right’s code words.  And having been born with a name like DuQuesnay, I was born genetically predisposed and encoded to knowing about the French Revolution.

But, this one went right over my head.

Thankfully, someone else caught it.

Take a lookie right here at Revelation 20:4 (KJV) talking about the end times.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Y’all, Rick Santorum just called Barack Obama the beast, the anti-Christ, the devil on earth, the Democrat.

Well, I have a little scripture for Rick’s supporters. Genesis 22:5 (KJV)

Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship.

Don’t roll your eyes at me.  That was no sillier than the guillotine thing.

By the way, the guillotine thing has become part of Rick’s repertoire.  He did it again on Friday.  Onward Christian Soldiers.

Thanks to Scott for the heads-up.
