Fort Bend, Texas Dems versus Demonstrators - Great Read
Ya'll will dig this. Repost from Texas forum.

I was at the Democratic headquarters about 2:00 in the afternoon when we suddenly got besieged by about 50 or 60 people who want the Catholic church to force all of us follow their beliefs.

They surrounded the headquarters on all sides stretching down both sides of the road for about 200 yards on each side.

Now the way I figure it, my Momma's Baptist Church quit trying to force their rule of never drinking demon rum or even Lone Star Beer (which hardly don't even count as an alcoholic beverage) on everybody, so the Catholics should return the favor and quit trying to make all of us reproduce like squirrels at mating season just because they think it's a good idea.

Also, those of you who know me know that stem cell research is one of my passions because I've personally seen what happens when the anti-good sense crowd would rather throw stem cells down the sink drain than use them to save the lives of the living.

So, I kinda got a grudge going here anyway.

more....

4. This made my day!
What a great story. The golden rule in action-- Texas style!

I calmly tell him that I will bring a group of women to his church parking lot next Sunday with pictures of maimed and dead Iraqi children with text at the bottom saying that their priest supports 100 more years of this.

I will bring pictures of children who are living tortured lives or who have died because of lack of stem cell research with text that says, "Thanks to your priest, your child might be next."

I will tell them that their priest supports privatizing their social security. I reminded him that he's only been here 2 years, but I've been here 35 years and know most of his parishioners by name.

I told him that if he wanted a political fight, he just bought one. He was fidgeting now.

7. It's not a blog, so THERE!
:rofl:

Here is her sidebar info:

Welcome to the website formerly known as The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.

My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston.
I live in Richmond, Texas, in heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's crazy here. No, seriously, it's triple z crazzzy.

I used to be an independent voter, but that all changed when I got to know a few local Republicans. They are meaner than 10 acres of snakes and have the ethical compass of a bank robber.

So, I decided that they could just Kiss My Big Blue 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. I've been doing this since 1992, so I'm used to it even if you ain't.

Email me and I'll find a place to put it if I like it.

8. Drove past a bunch of Catholics doing the same thing here in Plano last Sunday.
At least they stayed on the street right in front of their church. I wanted to make a sign that said "Use Birth Control" and drive back around, but hubby didn't want to.

9. Let me guess...
15th and Alma??? I've seen the ones there do that before...the whole frigging area of sidewalk at the intersection. Guess they figure the red light gives them a captive audience, if even only for 3 or 4 minutes.

10. Yep, that's the spot.
First time I'd ever seen it, but I guess we don't hit that part of town very often.
