Maxine Explains California

Do you know what happened 159 years ago this fall ... back in 1850?


California became a state.
The people had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically nothing has changed since then ...
except then the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands.

The T.E.A. Party In St. Simons Island, GA

Who knew that Patriotism had so much sex appeal?
My husband and I attended our 2nd T.E.A. Party in St. Simons Island yesterday. It was nice being surrounded by other right-minded, brave people.

I'm glad we made the one hour trip to attend the event and sign petitions being presented to our politians. It is so comforting knowing that many are trying to stem the tide of higher taxes and more government intrusion.

Too bad it was so hot yesterday or we would have stayed longer. There was games for the kiddies, good music and lots of grilled food. YUM! But between husband getting over a bad bout of kidney stones (he was hospitalized last week) and me with my wacky internal temperature gauge, we couldn't stay long. But all-in-all it was a good day.

I hope y'all had a good day too! What did you do yesterday? :o)

This is so clever. Y'all gotta see this. Enjoy!



Happy 4th of July Everyone. :o)

4th Of July TEA Parties

This 4th of July, as many prepare to celebrate the birth of our Nation, the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Parties are taking place all across our wonderful country. These are our non-violent way of protesting the gangster government. If you're tired of them constantly finding ways of raising taxes and infringing on our God given freedoms, join in the protests.

I fear that we're heading for such a major civil unrest in our country. I keep praying for sanity to prevail. If ObamaCare passes and the Cap and Trade bill passes there will be higher taxes, less freedom, massive unemployment and homelessness.

By the way, did you know that the Cap and Trade bill gives the EPA unprecedented power AND THEY WILL BE ARMED NOW!! The EPA can then come in your home any time unannounced with no warrants or due cause. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. (read here) Gosh, these are such dangerous times.

This insanity has to stop.

Our 'local' TEA Party will be in Saint Simon's Island (Brunswick) at the Gascoigne Park from 11am - 3pm. The Gascoigne Park party is hosted by The Golden Isles TEA Party Patriots. Y'all can find your TEA Party here.

Well, I really hate being hot and I do not seek out crowds. I usually hide all summer until about September or so in the A/C or in water somewhere but I'll suffer for a bit for my country.

I keep reminding myself that our forefathers suffered even worse while fighting the British and in other wars. I can take a little 100 degree heat [sigh] and the press of human flesh for a few hours.

So, hope to see you 'there'! Have a wonderful weekend fellow Patriots!

Operator, Please Connect Me To 1982

Today, they bury the former Charlies Angel star Farrah Fawcett. She died last Thursday in Los Angeles of anal cancer. Farrah was only 62 years old. There is a very lovely obituary for her at Legacy.Com.

I don't keep up with what celebrities do much. Unless they're on Fox Business News I have no idea what they're up to most of the time. I didn't know that she and Ryan O'Neal were an 'item' for many years. They even had a son together. Didn't know that.

I remember watching her on TV and enjoyed almost all her performances. To me she was especially good in the made for TV movie The Burning Bed. I thought her star really shined in that one.

Farrah Fawcett
Remember how so many of us young girls wanted to look like her too? Yeah, that's me below.

April 1977
I also sewed this dress.
Well, I tried to copy her anyway. :o)

So, this is my humble goodbye to you Ms. Fawcett. We will miss your shining smile and pretty face.

God bless to her family and friends. We grieve for your loss too.

You're Scaring Me Too Mr. Obama

Apparently, I'm not the only one scared right now.

I know the subject of Mr. Pritchett's letter has been discussed many times on other blogs and e-mails but this is relevant for the true nature of my post which is below. I'm not sure that everyone is familiar with his work and writings.

Foremost Leader in Change Management

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Lou Pritchett

<----the 2010="" census-----="" federal="">


Link To List Of Questions
Recently, I heard of the approaching questions on the *28 page* 2010 Federal Census on the news. They are outraged at these intrusive, scary questions, as I now feel about them. If the questions the Fed's are DEMANDING of us aren't scary, I don't know what is. If they're not ILLEGAL they're certainly IMMORAL. This is more infringing on our freedoms and rights so that taxes may escalate.

The news media also stated that with the new laws, the Federal government now DEMANDS that all citizens, legal or illegal, fill out the Census. Failure to comply results in jail time and/or a $5,000 fine. Also, if a person does not comply with Herr Government, the Obama Brown Shirts can talk to your neighbors about you and glean information (real or imagined)! The Fed's are hiring ... get this ... ACORN members to take the Census!!! They will be sending these law-breakers around in the cities to ask y'all these questions.

Guess what? Next Census husband and I desided that we're gonna 'disappear' as much as possible off the radar. No surprise there from those who know me, I'm sure. The mistrust of the government runs deep in my Scotch-Irish blood anyway. This makes me so sad though. I'm an avid genealogist who loves family research, one of which is using the Federal Census' to locate kin. And I personally always enjoyed filling out the Census and taking pride in being part of the American dream. But this go around we're not filling out nor mailing in nor talking to anyone about this Census. Period. If an ACORN member walks up my fenced in heavily gated country acres driveway there's gonna be Trouble.

"Yer trespassin' there Bubba." [click]

I didn't know until recently that President Franklin D. Roosevelt (also a Despot Wannabe) used the 1940 Federal Census to round up law-abiding Japanese-Americans and confiscate their legally bought lands with no due process. The Jap-Americans never got those lands or any monies back, as far as I know. They were imprisoned simply because they were of an 'unpopular' race.

Well, that puts a new spin on those questions, don't it?!

I guarantee that if things suddenly didn't keep going the Magic Negro's way, he will blame the Jew's and eventually Christians and/or Conservatives. The Federal Census will help them with imprisoning and/or levying more unfair taxes on any 'undesirables'.

Unless something unforeseen happens, I will be posting this warning again as we get close to April 2010. I hope this helps save some people from what's coming.

Ohhhh, and if nothing changes, it's coming.

Gosh. I hope I'm wrong. But for now, I'm scared too Mr. Pritchett.


"In Germany, they came first for the Communists,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then ... they came for me ...
And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Another Tax Productive Americans And Give To Foreign Countries

In the middle of a global financial crisis, our government is debating about signing into law a heinous Cap and Trade bill. The very same type of legislation that countries like New Zealand, France, and others are repealing BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SAVE THE PLANET (as the bill is toting for all the 'greenies') but instead caused a financial collapse of their economies. This new bill is the hell-spawned brain child of Mr. Obama and others. IT'S A TAX ON ENERGY and guess who pays it? Yep, you and me. EVERYTHING WILL DOUBLE IN PRICE FROM TAXES. EVERYTHING: fuel, food, energy, internet, TV, products, clothing, and on and on and on. There will be nothing left unsullied. The higher taxes will be especially devasting on the poor, deeply in debt and the middle-class.

One provision is the USA will be paying other countries to NOT cut down trees!

Also, the Cap and Trade Bill is a gateway bill for the government to control everything you buy and every decision you make. What little freedom we have left will disappear in the stroke of a pen. Yet another Obamanisum.

This bill has already passed the House on Friday by a narrow margin. The link leads to a web site of the individuals who voted on this Tax and Grab bill. For me, these individuals who caved and voted "Aye" are now in my cross-hairs.

Next it goes to the Senate.

House Vote On Passage: H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 LINK

I can't emphasize enough how dangerous this all is but I guess very few who are listening. Many of these taxes and freedom stealers are going after non-Union employees! How unfair is THAT!? They'd do well to better remember that many of us have the guns, the resources and the ability to survive.

Sorry to be so harsh but I am very concerned and want y'all to Be Prepared financially, spiritually and emotionally. We are headed for some really tough times in America.
