Can't fix stupid ... or can you?

My TG is a very even-tempered man. It takes a lot to rile him.

We are not alike in that way. I may be a trifle more temperamental.

Although in my own defense I will say, I do not holler at the flatscreen when Phil Mickelson is attempting a squeaker of a putt or when whoever plays for the Chicago Bulls these days, does whatever they do in the vicinity of a basketball goal.

I save my rants for other situations. Like, I might have yelled at the screen of my MacBook Pro when I read a certain tweet on Twitter late Saturday night.

Said tweet emanated disgustingly from the account of Atlanta Falcons Wide Receiver Sharod Lamor "Roddy" White:

All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid

And I might have let him know, in a few tweets of my own, what I thought about his opinion that six women should commit suicide just because he -- who was present neither at the altercation between the late Trayvon Martin and presumed-guilty George Zimmerman, nor at a single minute of the trial -- didn't agree with their verdict.

In a case, no less, where justice was served (if you can forget the fact that there never should have been a trial in the first place) and of which, had the individual whose death precipitated said trial not been black, Mr. White would have taken no notice whatsoever.

I don't know for a fact but I think we can extrapolate that if Roddy White bothers himself to vote, he votes Democrat. That's the party of tolerance and compassion. The party that regularly lectures the rest of us about bullying.

Mr. White, I suggest you don't look too closely at Demoncrats' demonically tireless advocacy of brutal genocide when it comes to millions of unborn black children.

Roddy White has since "apologized" for suggesting that six innocent Americans deserve to die. Wait. Make that seven.

Don't forget George Zimmerman -- neither white nor a Republican -- himself, whose death is fervently and publicly wished by untold numbers of blacks. And by many whites, too.

But I digress.

If you want to get TG hot and loud in a hurry, call him. Identify yourself as a representative of the Republican Party. Ask for money.

Then, like pranksters who ring a doorbell repeatedly and run away, you'd best hold your own phone a few yards from your ear.

Because if the words "Republican" and "your donation" come out of someone's mouth over TG's phone, the next barrage of words will be directed toward the speaker of those words.

And they won't be spoken in a hush.

We're registered Republicans who would rather die than vote Democrat, but TG will waste no time informing a fundraising caller that before he contributes a cent to the GOP, with their shameful performance in Washington DC on conservative issues, he'll send money straight to Republican politicians who actually stand up for what conservative patriotic Americans believe.

I think he usually cites Michele Bachmann and Joe "You Lie" Wilson as likely recipients of Weber donations. And it is sad that not many more names come to mind.

But I have a new name for TG. Actually, he already knows about this fellow. TG's politically astute like that.

It was in the wake of George Zimmerman's acquittal late this past Saturday that Louisiana Senator Elbert Lee Guillory (R-Opelousas) got my full attention.

Erica told me about a lady on Twitter named Alice Nelson -- @AL_Nelson -- a black woman whose bio includes this statement: I am not an African-American, I am simply an American.

And she is a conservative American. So I forgave Alice the comma splice, and I followed her, and I tweeted to my followers a recommendation that they follow her too.

Then I began perusing her media gallery.

That's when I came across a video Alice had posted on her Twitter timeline.

It is Elbert "Free At Last" Guillory's Why I Am A Republican.

Notable not so much because he's a black Republican -- there are wonderful examples of those, although not as many as I would wish -- but because Elbert Guillory changed horses mid-stream.

Or, got off a donkey and got astride an elephant. Until very recently, Guillory was a Democrat.

In fact, his switch in late May of 2013 makes Guillory the first black Republican state senator in Louisiana since Reconstruction.

As you might imagine, he has received a fair amount of harsh pushback from Democrats.

The constituents of Louisiana's 24th District who elected him, however, have shown overwhelming support for Senator Guillory's new true colors.

The explanation for that lies in the fact that Elbert Guillory was an exceedingly right-leaning Democrat. Atypical, as it were. I don't know why he ever wore their filthy mantle at all.

Despicable Them.

His record on pro-life issues, for example, is nothing short of stellar. During his tenure in the senate he has earned a 100% Life Advocate Award from the Louisiana Right to Life Federation.

His record on abortion is better, in fact, than that of some of his now-fellow Republicans.

Position on Americans' Second Amendment rights? Immaculate.

It's all there in black and white.

I thought I'd let Senator Guillory tell you himself why he is now urging members of the black community to join him in "abandoning the Government plantation and the party of disappointment."

Amen to that.

What can I say - you've covered it all just perfectly.
The response to this trial has me fuming, although I anticipated this reaction. I can not for the life of me figure out what is the matter with people - it makes me so mad! If he had been a white kid, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Kudos to Alice and Elbert! I've been following him and am very impressed. I'd vote for him in a second.

On the Republican Party phone calls begging for money ...

I have no patience, but my hubby will talk to these people , let them go through a portion of their scripted comments, then let them have it. He tells them every sorry thing the Republican Party has done and failed to do over the years. He lists the people that they should support (not RINOs), and eventually tells them that they will not get one cent from us again until they start doing what they are supposed to do and standing up for the things we believe in.

He concludes by demanding that they put us on a NO CALL list and remove our number from their computer.

I suppose they do this, but they change numbers and call from another number.

The final straw was an envelope we got in the mail this week.

In big red letters on the envelope it had

"PAYMENT PAST DUE"

"PAST DUE STATEMENT"

I was the one who got the envelope out of the mail and I had to smile when I saw it was from the RNC.

I told hubby "you will love this..." He smiled, he had to laugh.

We have never committed any money to them and this new ploy did not go over very well.

Of course he sent the enclosed form back in the enclosed postage paid envelope, with a few choice comments about his opinion of this new tactic.

Wow! Guillory 2016!

I got something in the mail on Saturday from the RNC as well with red letters on the front stating: "PAST DUE". The nerve of these people. The only thing past due is some Rublicans who will actually for once take a stand for a conservative principle. I almost spit up.

Bravo! I do not understand all of the hysteria about the Zimmerman case being about race. But I think it is because I am a conservative and can't wrap my brain around stupid thinking. And I agree with you on the GOP. The leadership has been woefully inadequate and lean decidedly to the left of center. True patriots in public office are getting to be a rarity.

It's interesting that Guillory was a Republican until 2007. It would seem his switch to Dem was politically necessary and perhaps not inspired so much by liberal dogma. Very curious.
We no longer contribute to the Republican Party, although we will give to candidates we trust.

I vote Republican because I cannot stand what passes for the 21st Century version of the democrap party. It is a shadow of what it might have once been, not that I've ever been a member of it. But nor do I send donations to the National GOP. They have failed us repeatedly in the past 20 years. And they diminish promising talents like Ted Cruz.

I am registered unaffiliated. But it'll be a blizzard in Hell before a democrap gets my vote.

As for state Senator Guillory, it's good to see common sense and a rational view of reality take him from the party of darkness and provide his voters with a wiser option. True racism is where it has pretty much always been: on the Left.
