A picture is worth a thousand words

Just a quick post tonight since my high schooler is doing her homework on our shared iMac so I'm on my iPhone....
I decided to post a photo of Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz on Instagram and hashtagged heroes, saveourcountry, USA, Teaparty & freedom. I kind of have my social media in groupings: my twitter is only political (conservative), my Facebook is sort of positive affirmation & self "marketing?" and Instagram is artsy, silly with children photos and lots of random photos of whatever strikes my fancy for the day. I love to capture sunsets, USA & Texas flags flying, anything funny that I see and, well, for lack of a better phrase, a mobile photo journal. It's my creative outlet, only visual. I put up quotes & inspirational things but mainly I just amuse myself. I have a lot of alone time in sales and it helps in the down time.
Anyway.
When I posted this photo below, I realized my followers are almost all of DD's friends along with my family, but I hashtagged for other viewers. So I was surprised when almost all who liked the photos were from other countries around the world. And they are freedom lovers!! It's why Instagram is my favorite social media. I follow people around the world - in Paris, Israel, Italy, Australia, Germany, Norway, Mexico, and many NYC Photographers to see what their lives are like. We may not all speak the same language, but we unite through photos. It's fascinating.
And hopeful...

"We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right." - Ronald Reagan

I'm feeling more hope for this country than I have in a long time... Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has been filibustering since 11:45 this morning, as promised, after receiving a letter earlier this month from Attorney General Eric Holder that refused to rule out the use of drone strikes within the United States.
Good for him!!! Bravo!!! Woohoooo!! Finally a man with some guts (and eloquence and intelligence) who will stand up for the Constitution!!! I've been on Twitter a lot this evening, and it was SO encouraging to see fellow patriots who believe the same way as I do, sending out words of extreme encouragement. There are some politicians that are standing with him who are Tea Party favorites like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, but not many, which is the sad part of the story. It's men like Cruz and Rubio who have Cuban heritage and know how communism wreaks havoc on a country, that support this wonderful display of freedom of speech and love of the law this country was built upon. It is these kind of people we need to hang our hat on.
And fire ALL of the rest...

You can't fool all of the people all of the time

Just read that the White House has cancelled all public tours due to the SEQUESTER's spending cuts.... Ahem... excuse me while I bust out laughing... It seems a little too convenient for the president to cherry pick what is cut out due to this "sequester." I mean, WHO is actually deciding what is cut?? I've been saying all week, and now Sean Hannity is too, why don't we cut out the millions of dollars heading to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt instead of to the "disabled children?" Ooooooooh, I get it. This is all just the biggest scam of the year for all the stupid people. Let me get this straight... the sequester was Obama's idea, then he blames all the ills on the Republicans, and the lap-dog media reports those lies. Yeah, that's how it works. The stupid state-run media has been saying all week that "airports would be busier than they had been due to TSA budget cuts" along with other really important budget cuts in the government. Do they really think we're THAT STUPID????
Don't answer that....
