I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Drunk on Amnesty Juice: Hangover Remedy is a House Special

Written by Christi and crossposted from CommonSenseAmerica:

It's not really a good idea to ignore the clear public will of the American voter but it seems that our Senate is out of control and under the influence of a foreign substance.

From The Washington Times

The Senate yesterday easily approved an immigration bill that allows 10 million illegal aliens to become citizens, doubles the flow of legal immigration each year and will cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $54 billion over the next 10 years.

In the moments before the vote, Mr. Frist and about a dozen senators, from both parties, tearfully congratulated one another for all their hard work in producing the legislation.

After the vote, more than a dozen giddy lawmakers from both sides of the aisle gathered before television cameras to again commend one another.
Yes, like a group of drunken, rowdy teenagers, the Senate has decided they are no longer under the control of the American voter and we watched as they celebrated their bad behavior. Drunk with their perceived newfound freedom our Senators, like all children, have made some very immature and unwise decisions. And just like the teenager who decides to ignore the rules of his parents, the outcome is always self-destructive.

Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, said yesterday he has been amazed by the Senate's inability to do what voters clearly want.

"There seems to me to be a sense of surreality here, where people in the Senate just are not listening to what the American people are telling us," he said. "We've tried, through the course of the amendments that have been offered that people standing here have offered, to highlight some of the problems that we have identified and which I believe are responsive to the concerns that we've heard from our constituents."
Don't worry, Mr. Cornyn. The American people are not only amazed, we are infuriated. And amnesty for these Senators will not be an option at the voting booths across America.
