Only in Texas

Here in Texas we have no shortage of Nut Jobs and Wackos dotting our political landscape.  Well it seems a bunch of them have gotten together in the latest backlash against the SCOTUS ruling.  The Arch Conservative Coalition of Wackos and Nut Jobs of TX (ACCWNT or Arch Conservatives Crying With No Tolerance, my own terminology invention and interpretation of course) has planned a 8 city circle jerk tour to tout their brand of religious intolerance.  Only in Texas could this many Nut Jobs gather in one place at the same time and still be considered a legitimate interest group or even reasonable.  Of course we know they are neither legitimately interested in political progress or reasonable in their beliefs.  They are just a bunch if bigots parading in public only without the hoods, robes and burning crosses.  The article below reposted from Towleroad.com will tell you all about it:  

"Last week, we mentioned how Texas anti-LGBT leaders are planning an anti-gay hatefest at a church whose pastor is also a state representative.

That announcement came on the heels of the launch of a new anti-LGBT coalition in Dallas.

Now, if you’re still keeping track, many of the same bigots are planning an eight-city “Faith Family Freedom” tour in August, September and October:



“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” states an email announcing the tour from Houston anti-LGBT activist Jared Woodfill. “It’s time for us to stand up and fight to take back our government from the godless Secular Humanists, Pro-Abortionists and Political Homosexual Movement. We will trust God! We will take action! We will fight to restore our Constitutional liberties based upon Biblical truth!”

The rallies will be held in Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio, Tyler, Lubbock, Corpus Christi and Waco.

 

The tour is sponsored by 17 people, including:

• Former Congressman Tom Delay (above right), who recently suggested the U.S. Department of Justice wants to legalize sex with animals and little boys.

• Pastor Rick Scarborough, who pledged to set himself on fire if the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, then changed his mind, saying he only planned to do so because he loves gay people.

• Dr. Steve Hotze of the Conservative Republicans of Texas, who said at the anti-LGBT coalition’s recent Dallas launch that the SCOTUS ruling will mean teachers encouraging kindergarteners to try anal sex.

 

• Cathie Adams (above right with Sen. Ted Cruz) of the Texas Eagle Forum, who recently said same-sex marriage would lead to the end of America if the state Legislature didn’t act to undermine SCOTUS’ ruling.

• David Barton of WallBuilders, who said the SCOTUS ruling will force churches to hire pedophiles to run day care centers.

All in all, this tour — which seems more like a last-gasp fundraising scheme — promises plenty of great entertainment.

More from the announcement:

“Enough is Enough!” One need only look around and see that our country is being radically changed by the left. It is time to stand-up, speak-up, and refuse to give up when it comes to our principles, value and beliefs! We must stand on our faith and boldly defend our religious liberties, our Constitutional freedoms, and our Judeo Christian heritage. We have a duty to protect our children and our grandchildren from a political movement that stands for abortion, redefines marriage and removes God from the public arena.

Leaders of the conservative organizations listed above will be speaking in the cities listed on key issues threatening Christian values and on the nuts and bolts of politics, so that we can take back our government. These events will give you the knowledge and tools you need to have in order to make your voice heard and to make a difference for your children and grandchildren. You will be receiving emails as locations are confirmed in each city. Save the date and make a plan to attend in the city nearest to you. I look forward to seeing you at one of the locations identified above."

This would all be laughable if these people were not so dead serious in their bigoted delusions of grandeur.  We will definitely have to keep an wary eye on all these folks lest we fall victim to their bigotry.  And so we shall.  Now on to more pleasant things.

Your Monday With Mozart has two marvelous live performances posted down below for your listening pleasure.  First up is my favorite of all of Mozart's Symphonies, Number 40 in G Minor with an spirited performance by the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Ilya Stupel, recorded at S. Ljudkievich Philharmonic Hall (2013-02-15).  Rounding out the play list is the wonderfully intimate Sunday Morning Concert from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam from May 2014 of Mozart's Sinfornia Concertante for Violin and Viola, K364.  This performance is by the Basel Chamber Orchestra with Vilda Frang as the Violin Soloist and Nils Mönkemeyer on Solo Viola.

Your Monday with Mozart continues over on my tumblr with Piano Concerto Number 20 in D Minor, K466 featuring a marvelous performance filmed live  May 20, 2012, at Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.  The Cadenzas are by Mozart’s favorite student - and billiards pal, Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Michael Erren Conducts the Freiburger Mozart-Orchester with Valentina Lisitsa as your Piano Soloist.

Then of course it being Monday it is time for us to indulge in our weekly underwear fetish with a large lot of lithesome lads clad in variations on a skimpy theme in this edition of Monday's Undies posted down below.  Oh and please allow your Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr offer you a little "Canadian Comfort".  Thanks for the visit, see you again soon.  Until next time as always Enjoy!
