Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) is one of the lesser-known, more hardcore members of the Republican conference, which means that when he shows up to a Heritage Foundation luncheon like the one I’m at, he can really get rolling. Culberson had an aide get him three glasses of water, which he used to demonstrate the ebb and flow of “state sovereignty” by pouring liquid from glass to glass.
He didn’t so much take questions as ask the audience of mostly conservative bloggers and movement staffers for new media ideas. He came up with one on the spot: everyone should call Congress on noon on April 15 and “light up the phone lines until sparks shoot out.” Someone watching the luncheon online suggested that the message be “No new taxes, no new borrowing.” Culberson signed on right away.
“We really are enslaving future generations with all of this debt,” said Culberson. “We have a president who wants to turn us into … I used to say France, but I think you’re going to jump right beyond that into the vestiges of the Soviet Union.”
The MSM won’t report this, but Barney Frank responded by saying “Is that bad?”
I must not only get my butt, but my sister’s butt to TX.
We are worse than the USSR, they at least make their own energy thru oil.
Lucky Houstonites!
We should take the numbers of congress to the 15 April rallies and read them to the crowd, tell them to put the numbers in their cell phones and call! Right then! Probably wouldn’t all get through, but gosh wouldn’t it be fun? Do you think a cell phone tower would melt?
Got a source?
When you come bring your guns. We may need them to defend it.
I read it in an old sea catalogue! Sarc/
he is probably right.
John Culberson is my representative. His voice is always very conservative. I do count myself lucky to have him serving in the House for me.
I’ll have to follow his lead and call Congress on the 15th.
Barney and Dodd were looking at each other “I don’t get it.... why is that bad?”
“beats me Comrade”
“Is that a request?”
As a native Californio, I highly advise it.
We moved to Texas from Cali in 2006 and never looked back. Come to where you're actually needed and wanted.
I’m planning my USSR flagpole and flag (to make a statement, of course)
The Russians would not let Islam take over.
Why did no Republicans speak up as they were confirming him about NBC/BC? Sen. Shelby has pals in the NSA and probably knows he was born in Kenya.
Hey , he forgot no new gun laws.
Yes. For all the gulags, the secret police, the constant waste and failure of central planning, the communists put Russia first. Putin still does.
The only place Hussein puts America first is that America is the first country that should be torn down.
I’m thinking of renaming my road obuma gulag No. 4. And my home a Dacha. My dog is now Boris. The cat is Felixakov.
I got the AK so that’s cool. Got a fat welfare momma down the road I can call babushka. I need to buy a Yugo.
Just bought 8 rolls of TP so don’t need to stand in line for that. Bought some Russian rye bread. Where can I buy a MIG 21? Oh, I need Lenin’s corpse to decorate the den. Who do I call? Does he still work? Now I need to practice humming a loud Russian funeral dirge while working. Any suggestions?
