CARS KILL

With the ascendency of terrorists using motor vehicles to run over pedestrians, it is probably only a matter of time before someone adopts the perverted logic of the kooky anti-gun, anti-second amendment, far left freaks and applies that logic to automobiles. The application of the anti-gun logic to automobiles provides some interesting possibilities. Possible details of the analogy follow:

The anti-auto protesters could take to the streets in wild demonstrations to make their views known.
They could insist that to prevent the new mayhem, we will need much more thorough background checks of anyone seeking to buy a car or obtain or renew a driver’s license. People with mental problems, including the above mentioned lefties, must not be allowed to possess an automobile. There can be no loopholes in the background check regulations for purchases at auto shows or from private individuals.

If the Federal Government fails to act promptly and decisively, a state might decide to take the matter into its own hands. A likely state would be California, a trendsetter for the nation with the most stringent automobile regulations and the most car-loving population. California could pass legislation to confiscate all automobiles. Of course, while their population is relegated to bicycles, the Hollywood celebrities, politicians and wealthy Californians would have their own private limousines to take them where they wanted to go.

The citizens who have always thought it their right to drive an automobile could begin to push for a constitutional amendment to codify that right. That amendment might read: “A mobile Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and operate motor vehicles shall not be infringed.”

The anti-auto protesters might direct their wrath at the auto manufacturers and dealers with protests at their facilities and boycotts of them and their products claiming they are responsible for the terrorist carnage. One can imagine a “National Automobile Association” attempting to reverse the sales decline from the protests by adopting a slogan such as “The only thing that can stop a bad guy with an automobile is a good guy with an automobile”

The identification of additional analogies is left as an exercise for the reader.

A Pleasant Afternoon at Celebrate America

A beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Wellington amphitheater brought together a great lineup of speakers, organizations and tea party enthusiasts to celebrate how far we’ve come since the dark days of 2009. The celebration of the good things that makes us Americans, our support for the President, and an admonishment to “hold accountable” those politicians that go to Washington and become part of the swamp, was a theme that was well received.

Moderated by WFTL radio host Joyce Kaufman, the speakers included elected officials and candidates, and national leaders of activist organizations, all members in good standing of the tea party ethos.

Mark Meckler (Convention of States) told us that we are a self-governing people with a Washington that does not trust us to do so. He reported that 12 of the 34 states needed have now ratified the Article 5 Convention of states proposal.

Joe Budd, GOP Committeeman to the RPOF for Palm Beach County, reported that PBC delivered the fourth highest vote total in Florida for President Trump, who he compared to Sampson (who really got the last laugh on draining the swamp).

Mike McCalister, candidate for Agriculture Commissioner, gave us one of his stemwinder speeches on America.

Billie and Karen Vaughn, Gold Star parents, said that politicians should be changed regularly, just like diapers. They are looking forward to going to Jerusalem for the ribbon cutting on the new embassy.

Reverend CL Bryant, a Freedomworks senior fellow who tells us the tea party is alive and well has this message to the Washington Republicans – “Support this President or GO HOME!”

Conservative commentator Gina Louden told us how important Florida is in national elections and how we need to be Trump’s “home-town advantage” in the midterms.

Driena Sixto, regional director for Turning Point USA spoke of the great success they have had organizing college students for conservative principles.

And finally, CD18 Congressman Brian Mast spoke of the wide benefits of tax reform and how President Trump will return America to its greatness.

Us at Wellington on May 2

Our guest speakers for May 2nd’s Wellington Chapter of the Palm Beach County Tea Party will be all of us! It has been quite a while since everyone has had a chance to voice their opinion, tell their story or just speak off the cuff. The meeting will start off with our Chapter leader, Marion Frank, followed by Mercedes Garcia and Delia Menocal relaying their important stories of how communism came right through their front doors in Cuba, how they escaped and what has become of Cuba. Their story is so important, especially today when our youth are being miseducated about socialism and communism. The floor will then be open for everyone to speak. Come and get it off your chest!
