Stepping Up

Ted Cruz did it.  It was easy.  The stage was set.  His fellow GOP'ers all pussified - unable to even think about speaking out of turn.  Cruz spent 21 hours on the Senate floor recording all his sound bites for his 2016 campaign commercials.  He got the spotlight.  Little senators Paul and Rubio ran to the cameras (or to Sean Hannity) to grab some spotlight, but they didn't add one person to either of their corners.

Hat Owner and Comrade, Diann, posted this Photoshop at All The Right Snark.  Did you know she is new to Photoshop?  She downloaded the 30 day trial, taught herself, and is now turning out pictures as fast as our hat factory is filling hat orders.

Some William Wallace quotes that capture the moment:

There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it.

It's well beyond rage. Help me. In the name of Christ, help yourselves. Now is our chance. Now. If we join, we can win. If we win, well then we'll have what none of us has ever had before: a country of our own.

Give me the strength to die well.
