Dateline Marshall’s Law Townhall – Outline for interview for AM 650 Cheyenne, Wyoming; 9AM Central on Third Monday of Month – December 21, 2009. Listen in KGAB.com

Interview theme keeping illegal immigration amnesty issue daily headline.

1. Follow up last interview – Progresso Incident
2. Old News – collateral retail profits criminal activities on porous border – fence working good in Hidalgo and Starr counties – smuggling traffic moved to Cameron Country where fence construction delayed due to political leaders being greedy “blanks” to preserve collateral retail profits of criminal activities for local economy – Feds doing best to react to increasing crimes in places like along Arroyo Colorado (about 100’ from where author is sitting preparing this report for KGAB listeners)
3. Most citizens here take attitude “I am making money does not affect me” – brutal reality, crime from porous border saturates American communities U.S. Side of border – real world examples:
 1. innocent citizens caught in cross fires bad guys Vs. bad guys, or law enforcement Vs. bad guys;
 2. home invasions wrong addresses;
 3. car jacking of wrong cars when target was cartel money courier;
 4. son killed father involved;
 5. son killed father not involved;
 6. young man killed dating cartel “property”;
 7. young girl raped for dating cartel competitor;
 8. recent report eleven bodies found apparently thrown out of plane;
 9. man kidnapped for ransom taken from U.S. into Mexico held ten days one of torturers ten year old boy;
10. $150.00 monthly operating fee paid to cartel by small curio shop owned by old woman who did not make $150.00 month; her daughters and granddaughters will probably end up cartel slaves
 
Note: above blamed on cartel – who knows as Mexico's bad guys, cartel members, law enforcement and military all dress alike wearing ski masks

Americas need to get used to being these types of victims as many of those committing above atrocities will be candidates for Democrat Party “comprehensive” illegal immigration policies including amnesty by South Texas Democrats like U.S. Representatives Solomon Oritiz and his supporters.

Enough about violent realities in 2009 and future 2010, some positive thoughts for 2010:
1. Writing exercises like: Liberties Unknown Disciples; Rebuilding America’s Domestic Manufacturing Base; and Public Civil Liability Insurance for Public Employees.
2. Non-fiction short stories like: Takes More Than A Village; Price of Blues – Twenty Past Eleven; more Your Neighbors Nightmares Files; and more adventures of Texas Drifter and Dog.
3. Reports on Texas Concealed Carry Permit bureaucrats, who is watching regulators; along with other reports affecting America’s domestic tranquility and international security.
4. Continuing border security interview updates with Mr. Dave every third Monday of Month on KGAB AM 650 Cheyenne Wyoming.

 If you do not have the courage to confront truth about what is happening to your beloved America; well there are other ways to spend your time.

Refresher Notes: Short Story News Break: "Last Letter"; posted by Marshall's Law on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 2:31:12 PM as Entry # 068

Dateline Marshall’s Law Townhall – America’s major news networks and Hollywood leftists pass off Obama’s propaganda as truth. It seems only “fair” for Marshall’s Law Townhall to present America’s future history as contemporary non-fiction.

Explaining not complaining, Marshall’s Law Townhall writing exercises are intended to portray current events in America. As contemporary government policies are evolving into scenarios stranger than fiction, conclusion might be that fictitious short stories are non-fiction writing exercises. Example, non-fiction short story screen play concept entitled “Last Letter.”

"Last Letter"

Players:

 Ranch Owner

 Texas Drifter

 Dog

 Letter Author

Act I

Ranch Owner: Drifter, postmaster gave me a letter he said might be for one of my workers. Envelope is addressed to Marshall Texas Drifter (hands letter to Drifter).

Drifter: (takes letter and quips) Thanks.

Rancher Owner: Did not know your name was Marshall.

Drifter: Did not say it was. (Dog growls at Ranch Owner as Drifter turns to walk away.)

Ranch Owner: Never did like that dog; Hey Drifter know why I keep you around?

Drifter (stops and turns half way around): Then things are even, Dog never liked you either. Why you keep me around, good work for ten dollars a day; plus food, shelter, and expenses.

Ranch Owner: That too, mostly cause trespassing, vandalism to, stealing from, and poaching on this ranch has completely stopped since you signed on as security scout.

Texas Drifter: If I told you how I do my job, you would cut my meager wages, or run me and Dog off. I half way like working here; so do not change that by bringing me any more mail.

Ranch Owner: Go read your mail; that is last letter I will ever bring you.

Texas Drifter: Sounds fair enough, here is a list of some supplies Dog and I need.

Sundown next day: Drifter sets pot of coffee and metal bowl full of beer on small camp fire, and opens letter.

My Dearest Marshall,

Just a few words to dispel your anxieties about Obama’s FEMA man made natural disaster camps; there are probably forty thousand to fifty thousand citizens here. Camp is fenced in to protect us from outsiders wanting in, to escape worsening conditions in this part of America. We are truly lucky ones despite less than perfect conditions; we at least have security, and solace knowing Obama’s Administration and Democrats especially Blue Dog Democrats are doing everything they can to provide for us.

Sanitary conditions are an open ditch. Food is served once a day and consists of liquid powdered milk over uncooked rice. Medical care is limited to barbiturates. Healthy camp residents are engaged in constructing red brick buildings to be used as showers. Rumors abound that Obama will visit to dedicate new showers we are all looking forward to enjoying.

I bribed one of guards with my wedding rings to mail you this letter to let you know even though times may be hard, FEMA and Obama, as well as Democrats including Blue Dog Democrats are doing everything they can to help us rebuild ours and America’s future.

(Texas Drifter crumbles letter and envelope and gently drops into camp fire.)

Texas Drifter whispers: You know Dog, tears still never change anything.

(Picks up coffee pot and asks Dog): Want some coffee in your beer?

Dog (smiles by bearing teeth with soft growl):

Drifter: Just asking, I finish my coffee; you finish your beer; be time to go earn our meager wages. Tomorrow maybe I will try a writing exercise for Marshall's Law Townhall entitled "Your Neighbors Nightmares" based on contemporary biographical stories about Judeo-Christian conservative Americans' friends and neighbors during rise and fall of Leninist-Obama's empire.

Insert Texas Drifter’s Second Monologue: will finish and insert later; moving on to new policies Leninist-Obama is in process of enacting.

Existing or upcoming Presidential Executive Orders by Leninist-Obama and his political zombie Administration.

1.         Parents placing their children in private schools or practicing home schooling will reimburse public schools for funds public schools lose by children attending private schools or being home schooled. These fees to public schools must be paid in advance to public teachers unions before children can be removed from public schools. Children who are removed before fees are paid will be administratively placed in foster care by child protective service bureaucrats and offending parent’s home will be forfeited to federal government to provide housing for illegal immigrants receiving amnesty.

2.         Offending parents will also by administrative mandate be subject to following public safety standards: not be allowed to use firearms for personal, family, or home defense; not be allowed to possess, own, carry any firearm or ammunition; not be allowed to own, possess, or carry any weapon including hunting knives; not be allowed to enter any store or private residence where firearms are sold or stored; other regulations will be added when deemed necessary by public employees.

3.         Any citizen who supports offending parents in policy number one or who publicly or privately complains about policy number one will be administratively subjected to policy number two.

4.         Verbal reports by America Corpse Vista neighborhood snitches will be sufficient information to identify citizens in policy number three.    

What Judeo-Christian conservative patriot would doubt based on Obama, Pelosi, Reed and Democrat Party with help from moderate Republicans’ actions during year 2009; that sooner than you think President Obama issues Executive Orders enacting public safety policies listed below?

1.         Abolish free speech anyone criticizing government will face sedition charges and administratively be placed in FEMA disaster camps.

2.         As illegal immigrants and illegal immigrants granted amnesty, drug cartel members, Islamic fascists are not born in America citizens, Constitutional rights do not apply to them so they can manage their communities by laws in country they migrated from.

3.         EPA will issue carbon credits for aborted fetuses.

4.         EPA will mandate that all family pets be killed to reduce carbon dioxide levels threatening public health. The order does not apply to government bureaucrats as they are messiah Obama’s zombie disciples.

5.         EPA will mandate that all wildlife, birds, endangered species, and animals in zoos be killed to reduce carbon dioxide levels threatening public health.

6.         Other predicted Executive Orders can be listed in future writing exercise.

 Questions:

1.         Which of your family members, relatives, friends, or neighbors will be affected by Obama’s Executive Orders?

2.         How is Sermundo non-flamboyant non-gay barber and where is he? Still no word on the streets about where he is or how he is doing.

3.         Will Texas Drifter achieve his writing exercise goal of making Your Neighbor’s Nightmare Final Part “Prequel Through Their Eyes” comparable to two Shakespearean tragedies without endings in one play?   

Texas Drifter needs to engage in some warm up exercises before starting writing exercise Your Neighbors Nightmares File 402 Final Part “Prequel Through Their Eyes”.

Let the warm up exercise begin.

"It's All True"

No matter how it's written

no matter how it's read

what matters, it's all true           

"Dead Rat Cantina"

Almost glad you're gone            

no virtual reality

after your departure

Like sand castles after tides

futures without memories

blues without music

Tomorrow's predictions now

can't keep your word

what good are you,

can't depend on you

Never know what you've done

what's in your head

who you'll do next

Almost glad you're going

no virtual reality

after your departure

Like sand castles after tides

futures without memories

blues without music

Tomorrow's prediction now                   

say you'll change not me

love not worth having,

don't forget your shadow

There's a right to forget

its worth looking for

maybe even working for

Almost glad I'm gone

no virtual reality

after my departure

Like sand castles after tides

futures without memories

blues without music

Tomorrow's predictions now

sometimes enough is enough

it's true when they say,

put up wet and never fed

Can't afford your loyalty

returning to sweet freedom

be at the Dead Rat Cantina

"It's All True"

No matter how it's written

no matter how it's read

what matters, it's all true                       

"Chimera"

For always leaving in the dark

twin memories you've become ...

One memory wishes you had stayed

the other is glad you're gone

Twin memories you've become ...

for always leaving in the dark

Thanks for thinking of me

you left just what I needed

One more going away present

wrapped in sunrise blues

You fooled me good

wish I had known sooner

About bribes for selfish dreams

from just another chimera lover

For always leaving in the dark

twin memories you've become ...

One memory wishes you had stayed

the other is glad you're gone

Twin memories you've become ...

for always leaving in the dark

Placed you above me

thought you weren't staying

Could have done better

still there's been worse

Another sidewalk romance

to sustain morale

Sweet breath touching my cheek

another luxury gone by

For always leaving in the dark

twin memories you've become ...

One memory wishes you had stayed

the other is glad you're gone

Twin memories you've become ...

for always leaving in the dark

Alone on long weekends

with memories and dreams

Despair grows with sleepless nights

watered by missing appetite

Same rooms seem smaller

might paint the curtains

Feel like an ember

following the fire

For always leaving in the dark

twin memories you've become ...

One memory wishes you had stayed

the other is glad you're gone

Twin memories you've become ...

for always leaving in the dark

Twin memories you've become ...

"It's All True"

No matter how it's written

no matter how it's read

what matters, it's all true

“71 Blues Waltz”

Blank always something

Some say I paint with words

Like artists paint with colors

More like re-arranging words

Know you can do the math

Increasing downside average

Something not to forget

Thing called 71 blues waltz

Something always follows

Still have my health

Finances staying a bust

No family speak of

No love to flatter

Friends losing faith

No home to return to

No past to return to

Blank in always something

Some say I paint with words

Like artists paint with colors

More like re-arranging words

Know you can do the math

Increasing downside average

Something not to forget

Thing called 71 blues waltz

Something always follows

Friends, family, home, love

More like graveyards

Drifting to the unknown

Roadside parks no cruise

Seeking the terrible beauty

Relief from the blues

Keeps the drifting free

Blanking always something

Some say I paint with words

Like artists paint with colors

More like re-arranging words

Know you can do the math

Increasing downside average

Something not to forget  

Thing called 71 blues waltz     

"It's All True"

No matter how it's written

no matter how it's read

what matters, it's all true

That lyrical visual prose exercise had its intended results, now I am blue enough to finish Your Neighbors Nightmares File 402 Final Part “Prequel Through Their Eyes”.

Marshall’s Law Townhall Dateline – Future historians will hold America’s “mainstream media” (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Associated Press and other news services) most responsible for future domestic violence in America for not broadcasting or printing news that reflects poorly on Obama their messiah. Consider following unreported news woven into a non-fiction story generated by Obama’s Leninist fascist policies.

Let Your Neighbor’s Nightmares File 402 Unreported News Obama's Ripptides begin:
 
Sleeping neighbors never noticed the unmarked military vehicle ease to a stop near the retired investigator's back door. Even while a covert digital surveillance system, costing more than the investigator's fishing shack, documented four people entering the home. One of the team leader's followers stayed inside the back door and monitored their government vehicle.

The team leader later learned to be some kind of general, along with two others entered their target's bedroom; quickly grabbed their target and placed him in a standing position before their leader.
 
The general started waving a sheet of paper in the prisoner's face, while screaming what is this, what is this? The half sleepy though discreetly alert response was “Your report, sir”.

The general countered, I paid you ten thousand dollars to find out why my career's best soldier. killed one of America's most powerful politician and four of his security agents; and all I get is a one line report that says "America being destroyed by Leninist-Obama internationalist rip tides".

The unsurprised prisoner paused and responded: Order your men to turn me loose, leave the room, and I will finish your report.
 
Sit down this may take a while. Motives for actions of your career's best soldier, goes back to his freshmen year and the building of America's greatest rural school basketball team.
 
If you are going to interrupt, I will go back to sleep. Your career's best soldier and his four life long friends lost every game their freshman year. Friends that evolved into five seniors who never came close to losing a single basketball game while winning their community’s only state championship.

You already know your career's best soldier's employment history. As for the other four: one became a carpenter and construction foreman, second produced computer software, one became a native plant farmer, while the fourth opened a garage and served in the Army reserves.

Skipping a little ahead, all four of these men committed suicide before your career's best soldier did what he did.

Let's start with the carpenter. His death was ruled homicide-suicide caused by work place rage after he shot and killed the project contractor he worked for thirty years. The incident was in fact result of greed based “in sourcing”. Your career's best soldier's friend was fired for failing to terminate American workers and replace them with illegal Mexican colonists for less than ten percent of going wage rates.

Why fire American workers, so the contractor could boost construction project profits. The contractor not only fired your career's best soldier's friend, he also had the man arrested for trespassing and theft of company property.

One of the contractor's special interest prostitutes was a special interest lobbyist who enacted federal internationalist policies which created open borders and “in sourcing” American citizens out of their jobs. The same lobbyist targeted by your career's best soldier.
 
Moving on to the computer software designer, he was fired after working twenty-nine plus years for the same company. His job was out sourced to India after the CEO bankrupted the company while squandering employee pension funds for untraceable investments in Democrat politicians.

Adding injury to injustice, the CEO was given a ten million dollar severance package while employees were left with no pension and one day of pay for every year of tenure with the company.
 
This over fifty year old friend of your career's best soldier was left "unemployable" due to out sourcing, and in poverty without medical care; while the CEO accepted an appointment as ambassador to the country benefiting from out sourcing by the now politician your career's best soldier neutralized.

What happened to the software designer, he chose an unpleasant death after getting drunk and driving his car off an overpass before becoming homeless.

I need a beverage break, before I continue. You or your people need anything?

Back to the report so I can get back to sleep.

Your career's best soldier's third friend devoted his life to growing and selling Texas native plants and trees. Over the years his small isolated farm had survived numerous droughts, floods, blizzards, plagues, economic hard times, and Mexican economic terrorism. The one thing his farm could not survive was bureaucratic fascism.

It seems that his home community had followed the lead of Harlingen, Texas and Cameron County, Texas in learning how to steal property rights and extort money from property owners.
Both of these local governing entities never learned that annexing or regulating property without providing follow up services is stealing, and a sin included in the Ten Commandments.
 
The native plant farmer reached a point where he could not sell his land, or build on his land without first paying extortion fees exceeding thirty thousand dollars to both county and city.

This farmer, one of the closer friends to your career's best soldier, could not even use his land as collateral for a loan to pay ever increasing property taxes after a discretionary ruling by the Texas Department of Agriculture prevented him from selling his plants off premises. You might remember the Texas Department of Agriculture as the public agency most responsible for causing the "X" in Texas to be replaced with a swastika.
 
After the man learned that he could no longer sell his property, build on his property, use his property as collateral, or sell products produced on his property; he took off his hat and shirt, threw his watch on the ground, then walked out in the field and worked till he fell over dead from excessive summer heat.

The coroner told me that the man's death was not pleasant, easy, or quick. A reaction conveyed by the eyes of your career's best soldier as he read the autopsy.

As for your career's best soldier fourth friend, he had saved just enough cash for his family owned vehicle repair shop to survive twelve months "recalled" tour of duty in his Defense Department contract.

When America’s military arbitrarily broke their contract with the reservist by indefinitely extending his tour of duty; he knew consequences would be forcing his beloved wife of over thirty years, to suffer alone while losing their business, home, and death of their only surviving child. A preschooler who would lose necessary health care medication that kept her alive.

What loving parent would not sacrifice their life for their child? The only alternative seemed to be combat suicide for insurance proceeds to give his sickly child any hope for survival.
 
General, let me interrupt your disapproval; the man believed that taking charity from tyrants is the first step to slavery, and made a decision based on principle not principal. In the beginning Heaven created two kinds of Republicans and Democrats. The first are patriots who live and govern by principle. This case is about the second, internationalist moneylenders living and governing only for principal.
 
Report Summary: It seems your career's best soldier lost patience with internationalist Republicans and Leninist-Obama Democrats and their “me first America last policies” of privileges for special interest aristocrats along with destruction of America’s domestic manufacturing base and private sector middle class.
 
Don't look surprised moderate Republican moneylender personalities have been around since the beginning of time. Who do you think built the golden calf that offended Moses? Who do you think opposed Nehemiah’s wall? Who do you think never learned to “Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions”.

Who do you think murdered Socrates, murdered Jesus, burned Joan of Arc, tried to kill Luther, supported the British during America's Revolution, helped the British burn Washington D.C. during Americas second war with England. Who do you think opposed President Jackson's equal opportunity without privilege policies, benefited from Lincoln's assassination by not having to impeach Lincoln; sent carpetbaggers into the south which led to the creation of the Klan.
 
Who do you think tried to assassinate T.R. Roosevelt after he left the Republican Party, helped put Hitler in power, sold scrap iron to Japan which came back to Pearl Harbor in the form of bombs, plus engaged in recent America last policies by not making serious efforts to defeat Obama in Presidential election.

History gives Americans options to mange moneylenders: Nehemiah out smarted them, Aristotle denounced them, Jesus cast them from the Temple, and the French Revolution executed them. Truth be known, history’s moneylenders are due 2500 years of payback. The only question that remains is when and how Americans control their moneylenders.

Moderate Republican money lenders by not trying to seriously win last Presidential election created the environment which caused your career's best soldier and four friends to commit suicide. General, future history will not define tragedy by those who were assassinated or committed suicide. Future historians will only grieve for one casualty America’s Bill of Rights.
 
As for compassion, I save my empathy for innocent victims not fools, volunteer victims or moneylenders. Why should God bless America?

General you saw yourself in, why don’t you see yourself out so I can go back to sleep.

The General used to having the last word quipped: You don’t proffer much of a future for our beloved country.

The retired intelligence officer’s response, “What future, I was describing the present. General before you are tempted to accuse me of sounding Un-American; it is not Judeo-Christians, our country or its Constitution that represents wickedness beyond redemption. The guilty are moneylenders, internationalists, unaccountable uncivil servants, public subsidy addicts, moderate Republicans, and especially Leninist-Obama his administration and zombie followers. Americans have one last chance to save their constitutional republic. First, the Republican Party must be separated into conservative patriotic Republicans and moneylender Republicans.

Continuing Democratic Party should be divided into individualist Democrats and internationalist collectivist Democrats; followed by patriotic individualists forming an alliance that excludes and retires all moneylenders and collectivists from public office.

Report completed. Thanks for the assignment. I learned more than I ever wanted too about Leninist-Obama internationalist riptides. If you need a lesson, the lesson is that apathy is the most powerful of all political weapons. No political institution no matter how corrupt or evil can survive when the majority does not care one-way or the other what happens to thieving sadistic politicians and incompetent bureaucrats.

You saw yourself in, see yourself out so I can go back to sleep.

Questions:
1. What Leninist-Obama policies that intentionally by-passed Constitutional legislative processes implemented through Executive Orders could lead up to your Neighbors Nightmares File 402 Final Part – “Prequel Through Their Eyes”? Answers can be found next time in File 402 Part II “Midnight to Midnight”.
2. How is Sermundo the non flamboyant non gay barber managing threats from flamboyant gay hair stylists?
3. Enough questions for now.

Entry # 095

Marshall’s Law Townhall Dateline- Differences between Judeo-Christian Conservatives and Leninist Liberal Democrats, Obamas, Obama zombies, Chamberlain McCain, Texas Governor, Moderate Republicans, and anti conservative aristocrats is Judeo-Christian conservative patriots consider serving America’s political system an honored blessing; while America’s “me first America last crowd” are driven by their vanities which make them feel they are entitled to be self appointed royalty. Some datelines are self explanatory and do not need a follow up story.

Moving on, I could provide you with more names for “me first America last list”. Growing up as a child, I would ask my parents or teachers how to spell a word, or what a word meant. There almost synonymous response: think about it, look it up, you will remember it longer. Texas Drifter is now old enough to suggest: think about it, add your own names, you will remember them longer.

Fans of Your Neighbors Nightmares, relax File 402 “Best Predators Win” outline is looking good: Part I - Midnight To Midnight; Part II - Setting American Rip Tides; Part III - Prequel Through Their Eyes. Theme for non-fiction File 402 will be last paragraph of Article 1 Section 3 United States Constitution. Look it up you will remember it longer.

Still moving on, want to save on Christmas gift expenses? Go to Marshall’s Law Townhall and e-mail or print any or all entries you agree with; copy them to “pretty” paper and share them with someone special.

Now to close with a question that has been bothering this retired farmer’s son turned private hired gun turned Texas Drifter, orphan, with some money; that is Mr. Texas Drifter, orphan, with some money to soiled liberals. Why is it that more birthday cakes are not part of our Lord’s December birthday celebrations?

May you all have a spiritual happy Christ the Lord’s birthday celebration.

Texas Drifter

Personal note originally titled “A Christmas Story”; Texas Drifter’s Before Christmas Story was written first Christmas after my father went home in November 2001. A friend suggested that I write something to make his going home seem less lonely that first Christmas eight years ago. It is the only writing exercise I have ever written when first draft was final draft without a single correction or change.

Still seems like not much of an effort on my part, for a man who left me his last name, a reputation to try and follow, an American flag on his coffin, and his walking cane. May sound like the sometimes dementia part of my life, but this farmer’s son,  turned private hired gun turned Texas drifter, sometimes like to imagine while walking with his father’s cane that his father is still holding a child’s hand while on one of their decades and decades ago afternoon walks.

Notice for fans of “Your Neighbors Nightmares”. Being editor of Marshall’s Law Townhall allowed Texas Drifter’s to approve three writing exercises with cheerful endings: Your Neighbors Nightmares File 401, Texas Drifter’s Thanksgiving and Before Christmas Story. Keep the faith Your Neighbors Nightmares File 402 will be posted in later December.

Liberals are constantly complaining of being yesterday’s victims, and of being presently victimized by imaginary bad people. Leninist-Obama Democrat Liberals or whatever degree of socialist-fascist objectives they will own up too, do not have any rights to trespass against U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights. Liberals also do not have any rights to steal from or trespass against Judeo-Christians simply because liberals worship (gods with little “g’s”) of lust and revenge.

Perhaps those who could most learn from Judeo-Christian Christmas principles, values, and traditions are moderate Republicans and liberal Democrats. 

Again should I say it, I should, may God bless Conservatives  with a safe, happy, joyful,  holiday season with spiritual blessings during upcoming birthday celebrations; as for soiled Leninist- Oabama Liberals, that is Mr. Texas Drifter, orphan, with some money too you.

Texas Drifter

Time to read to yourself or aloud “Before Christmas Story” 

                         A Play: "Before Christmas Story"
 
Players:
 - Simon
 - Anna a prophetess
 - Quirinius Governor of Syria
 - Census Taker
 - Simon's Helper
 - Two Visitors

Introduction:

(Simon praying in a temple)

Simon: Oh Heavenly Father forgive my selfishness. You have blessed me with the privilege of owning the finest olive gardens, the finest sheep herds, the finest inn, and the most profitable market in all of Judea. Yet my rapacious soul would trade all these earthly blessings for the honor of gazing upon your son the Messiah.

(Suddenly the still wind chimes introduce a saintly intruder)

Anna: You will not die until you have seen God's anointed King.   
 
Act I

(Quirinius on a small throne in his temple with figure kneeling before him)

Quirinius: Rise my fool of a son (person rises). Caesar Augustus has ordered a census to be taken across the empire to make the collection of taxes more efficient. I am commanding you to carry out Caesar's orders in Judea. If you can accomplish this task I shall reward your efforts by making you tax collector for Judea.

New Census Taker: I wish to thank

Quirinius (interrupts): I have no time for fool's babble. Who is the most influential merchant in Judea?

Census Taker: Simon of Jerusalem, he has the finest olive gardens, the largest sheep herds, the finest inn, and the most profitable market.

Quirinius: I have heard of Simon, tell me more.

Census Taker: Simon is a devout man who refuses to engage in money lending or take an interest in politics.     

Quirinius: Destroy this Simon of Jerusalem.

Census Taker: Why he is an honest merchant without enemies?

Quirinius: It is not Simon that could be a threat but the thieves who may use his wealth against us. Be gone, I have grown tired of you.

Act II

(Six months later - Quirinius on a small throne in his temple with Census Taker kneeling before him)

Quirinius: Rise, my fool of a son: Report to me about your progress on the census and Simon of Jerusalem.

Census Taker: The census taking process is on schedule. As for Simon of Jerusalem: I released locust into his olive gardens; I destroyed his sheep herds with plagues; I burned his inn; I had bandits steal his wealth; and I have incited riots at his market so none will shop there. I am ready to return as tax collector.

Quirinius (erupts in to rage): You fool you have signed both our death warrants. I ordered you to destroy Simon not his property. How can taxes be paid to Caesar with barren trees, dead sheep, ashes, empty coffers, or empty market places?
 Guards let it be known that my fool son's inheritance shall be sent to Caesar to reimburse Simon's losses resulting from my fool son's actions. Let it also be known that my son of a fool shall be banished from Syria for the remainder of my life.

Act III 

(Simon and Simon's Helper standing by three sided shelter)

Simon (pointing): Isn't it beautiful?

Simon's Helper: Sir how can a man who never cheated or punished the innocent; a man who has lost everything he earned his entire life; see beauty in THIS?  Sir, every night, I shed tears of confusion not knowing why Heaven is punishing you.

Simon: My dearest life long friend, I see beauty in THIS because I see opportunity. As for heaven punishing me, stewards of faith know the difference between punishment and preparation.

Simon's Helper: Where's the opportunity in having a stable without a bucket to bring water, or straw for feed.

Visitor (enters stage): I am looking for Simon of Jerusalem.

Simon: I am Simon of Jerusalem.

Visitor: Many decades ago before I was born, you loaned my father this bucket. His dying words were that I return your bucket with five donkeys loaded with straw.

Simon: I grieve for the loss of an honest man. I greatly accept the return of my bucket. Heaven only asks for tithes of ten percent; it would be a sin for me to accept straw from your donkeys. Now I must go to the temple to pray for your loss.
(Turning to helper) Use the bucket to bring us water.

 Conclusion

(Simon returns to stable to find stable half full of animals and Simon's Helper talking to another visitor)   

Simon's Helper: Great news, a few more customers and you shall have enough profits to buy new sheep.

Simon: I thought I said I could not accept straw from the visitor?

Simon's Helper: The visitor insisted that the straw from five donkeys was a gift, not interest for a debt.

Simon: Who is the new visitor?

Simon's Helper: Some man less fortunate than us, the man can not afford shelter for his wife who about to give birth.

Simon: What were you telling this man who is less fortunate than us?

Simon's Helper: I was telling him that Heaven was preparing him not punishing him.

Simon (interrupts): And?

Simon's Helper: I shall tell Joseph that it would be an honor for you to share your stable; with him, his wife, and their soon to be born child. 

Simon: I must return to the Temple to seek Anna's guidance.

(At the Temple)

Entry # 093

            Marshall's Law Townhall Dateline - There is nothing in the Bill of Rights or Constitution that declares private citizens to be wards of any government. Public sector bureaucrats are not the peoples’ natural guardians. Threats to individual liberties are directly related to increases of any government's powers. Citizens who allow bureaucrats to become custodians of their rights are fools volunteering to be slaves.

            The assignment was a way to make a few extra dollars during the holidays. Texas Drifter was appointed to settle the affairs of a recently deceased derelict.

            Describing the deceased's efficiency apartment is an easy exercise in recalling on scene details. The residence was one room that consisted of half a kitchen, small dinning area, a smaller living area with a couch that folds out into a bed (opened); a small black and white television with a coat hangar for an antenna sitting on a cardboard box next to the door that entered the bathroom.

            The rest room can best be described as a public sector facility at a downtown bus station that had not been cleaned for twenty years. The hide away bed was covered with clothes for sheets, and part of the carpet from the floor which was being used as a blanket.

            There are no words to describe the apartment's smell; possibly because the clothes closet was being used as an in-house dumpster. The left sink was filled with dirty pans, plates, and silverware. The right sink was brimming over with empty bean and dog food cans.

            Next to the moldy generic bean and quality dog food cans set a pancake hot plate which contained one can of half opened beans and one half opened can of dog food. It was later learned that the deceased had been using the hot plate to warm the beans and dog food before mixing them into a bowl known as ghetto chile.

            A handwritten note was found behind the hot plate that said, "Remove paper labels before heating to prevent fire". Your instructor was almost afraid to open the refrigerator. Utter amazement cannot describe how this later surveillance instructor felt when he discovered that the interior of the icebox was cleaner than most hospital operating rooms.

            What I found was a sanitized refrigerator full of prescription drugs arranged by names of those who had been prescribed the medications. It was later learned that the deceased had taken it upon himself to store and administer medications for the area's homeless population.

            The freezer unit of the icebox contained what appeared to be the deceased's private papers, along with some type of diary. At this point, the instructor started looking for a place to sit down and review the new found documents.

            The apartment's curtains had been replaced with the most recent Sunday newspaper comics. These paper curtains provided the only color and access for light to the otherwise dimly lit apartment. While dragging a chair over to the window; there was a knock at the door.

             A surprised vagabond stated that he had come by to read the Sunday Comics and see if there was any ghetto chile left. I said that there was no chile left to which he shrugged his shoulders, and quipped while walking over to read the curtains, "There goes Thanksgiving Dinner".

            Texas Drifter asked isn't there some place else where you can go for Thanksgiving Dinner?

            The response, "Not and be with friends; besides that, being put on display for publicity is advertising not compassion.

            I suggested that the tramp take the curtains with him since I was busy. The response was "If I do that, nobody else will be able to see the funnies."

            He then asked if he could turn on the radio. I responded that I had not seen a radio. The homeless man then walked over to the television and turned it on with the following remarks, "when it don't have a picture, it's a radio."

            Upon finishing the "funnies," the homeless man walked over and turned the "radio off." As he was leaving, he said "this place won't be the same without our ghetto chile."

            By this time, the instructor had reviewed all of the personal papers except the diary. The first twenty or so pages of the diary detailed how the deceased had been a working parent with a spouse who traded partying for the sanctity of marriage.

        The deceased problems started when the adulterous spouse well known in Democrat Party, had retained a divorce attorney also a Democrat, to conduct a high profile bogus child abuse campaign against the deceased. The net result of this government assisted smear campaign was that the deceased losing his reputation, children, and job.

            As the instructor was about to get lost in the diary, there was another knock at the door. This time the instructor was confronted by three homeless people asking if they might reclaim property they had loaned the deceased. Knowing that I had to get rid of the apartment's contents anyway; I said sure come on in and take what's yours.

            Amazingly, no one started gathering up things until after they had finished reading the "funnies." I used this quiet time to continue reading the diary.

            It seemed that the Democrat Party judge had set the deceased's child support payments at a rate based on deceased's salary before he lost his job because of the government's fraudulent child abuse investigation. The judge said that his Democrat Party court would not tolerate lazy child abusers.

            The deceased was unable to find comparable work because employers are not inclined to hire suspected child abusers. This resulted in the deceased not being able to obtain employment and make the full court ordered payments.

            A part time job and partial payments did not satisfy the Democrat Party judge who ordered the deceased to forfeit: their driver's license, vocational license, and all custody and visitation rights with his children. As this was not enough, the liberal lesbian judge also ordered the deceased to spend six months in county jail.

            By now more homeless people were showing up to claim property previously "loaned" to the deceased. The "radio" along with all the small items were long gone by now. I found myself giving permission for the intruders to take the furniture and anything else they could carry off. My primary interest was in finishing the last few pages of the diary.

            It turned out that the one week early court ordered release from jail for the deceased required medication based maintenance therapy from one of the judge's largest re-election financial contributors.

            This led to the deceased being required to take more types of prescription drugs than street dealers ever dream of selling. The court ordered prescription drug abuse achieved the desired results, and eventually led to the deceased being classified as "disabled" by other bureaucrats.

            The final words in deceased diary still haunt me: "They can destroy my career; they can take away my family; and they can even make me a drug addict; but Democrats can not take away my desire to help the less fortunate."

            My reflections were interrupted by somebody asking about the rest of the drugs. I had completely forgotten about the icebox full of prescription drugs. As it turned out, none of the "dregs of society" had taken anybody's drugs but their own. The person asking me about the drugs wanted to know how long the place would be open so the rest of the people could come by and pick up their medications.

            I informed the person asking the question that the electricity would be left on for the rest of the weekend. My response was followed by another question about taking up, the rest of the carpet for blankets since winter was only a few weeks away. Again my response was take what you need.

            Within another couple of hours, the efficiency apartment had been stripped bare except for the icebox and the curtains.

            An older homeless woman approached and said "it would be nice if you told everybody to leave the curtains as kind of a memorial.” After getting everyone's attention, I said that I had been given a suggestion that the curtains should be left as a memorial to a good person who made a difference.

             One of the dirtiest of the homeless people said "thanks." To which I responded what for? The answer was simple, "for respecting what dignity we have left."

            This Texas drifter's plans became closing out the deceased's utility accounts on Friday. Maybe that old man was right exploiting other people's misery for publicity is not charity?

Your Neighbors Nightmares – File 401 Final Part

Guessing reader has read File 401 Parts 1 and 2; will not repeat previous introduction items.

Scene: Meeting with Baby Maria’s Aunt and Uncle

Young Reporter to Aunt and Uncle: I have good news, horrific news, and strangest request anyone ever has or ever will ask of you. First, this medicine should, no guarantees, cure Baby Maria’s infection, and provide her the opportunity for a normal healthy life.

Young reporter Continues: Second, horrific news, Texas Child Protective Services has obtained a State District Court order to take custody of Baby Maria probably this Monday after Thanksgiving to place Baby Maria in foster care to euthanize her by not providing medicine in accordance with President Obama’s new health care system. Please let me finish, I also have three tickets on Underground Railroad to provide transportation for my self, Baby Maria, and a still unknown person out of Texas to safety.

Uncle to Young Reporter: Who would do this for Baby Maria?

Young Reporter: Not really sure, best guess is Baby Maria has covert friends in high places.

Aunt to Young Reporter: Giving Baby Maria to a stranger who shows up at our home unannounced is more than a strange request.

Young Reporter: When I got up this morning all I wanted was a good story for my first journalist assignment; now things have gotten out of control and I am part of the story, not sure what else I can say.

Voice from the Shadows: The third ticket is for me, I will take baby Maria and we will go with you. (Shadow voice steps into room.)

Young Reporter: do not mean to be rude, but you have green hair and an ear ring in your nose.

Aunt: The girl with green hair and an ear ring in her nose as you describe her is blood relative to Baby Maria; and is a deal breaker if my sister does not accompany Baby Maria.

Young Reporter: Say your good-byes; we need to get going to meet our Underground Railroad contact; and to think all I wanted was a good first story.

Author’s Intermission: Received telephone call from an old career associate this morning who informed me he had read Your Neighbors Nightmares File 401 Parts One and Two. Our conversation sanitized for family audiences went something like this: Marshall what is going to happen to Baby Maria? My answer not sure I have not finished writing the ending. His response, “Anything happens to Baby Maria and I will come down there and put the best whipping on you I can.” I responded you do know Baby Maria is a character in a story don’t you? You said “Your Neighbors Nightmares are non-fiction stories and I still remember what non-fiction means. Nothing bad happens to Baby Maria. Understand?” Don’t worry I prefer not meeting you in the shadows. After an old friend's non-causal warning; decided to re-consider ending for Your Neighbors Nightmares File 401 Final Part. 

Back To File 401 Final Part

Scene: At Underground Railroad:
Person from shadows: Good all three of you made it. This envelope is your new identities' package. Inside you will find: three notarized birth certificates, one marriage license, one honeymoon photo, three social security cards, two driver’s licenses, two high school diplomas with transcripts, one four year college degree with transcript and one junior college diploma with transcript, eight thousand dollars in start over cash, one contact in Wyoming.

Person in shadows continues: do not ever return to Texas, it is a small world someone might recognize you; never contact any of your old friends or family members in any way, form or fashion. Break any of these rules and you could easily get Baby Maria, yourselves and other people medically euthanized as Obama’s Administration describes their treatment of conservatives and other “non-supporters”.

Person in shadows speaks to Girl with Green Hair: You will have to return your hair to its natural color, and lose the earring in your nose. Do not worry about your sister and brother-in-law; a Texas Child Protective Services worker has been framed and will be sent to jail for Baby Maria’s disappearance. Do not worry about the Texas Child Protective Services worker she is just being punished for crimes she will never be convicted of.

Shadow Person to Young Reporter: If you notice the wedding photo, you are the one with green hair and an earring in their nose. Texas Drifter said he hoped you found the photo as amusing as he does. Texas Drifter also told me to tell you two things: your new family comes first in your life; second, if you do not take care of Baby Maria and the Girl formerly with green hair; this is fact, Texas Drifter will include a role for your character in a story that will not be pleasant.

Since this is final part of File 401 some answers:
1. Baby Maria regained her health, and grew up to become America’s second woman conservative President, just when American citizens were starting to relapse back into Leninist-Obama fascism. Baby Maria’s eight years as President gave America’s Constitutional Republic decades more ethical capitalism with life, liberty, and pursuit of Judeo-Christian free will choices.
2. Young Reporter and Girl formerly with green hair lived prosperous spiritual lives while never divorcing and raising children that became legendary community leaders and community servants. Only mystery about their lives was why they always wore matching Halloween costumes involving green hair with ear rings in their noses.
3. Baby Maria’s Aunt and Uncle kept their government jobs, though some of Obama’s zombie followers felt their honesty and efficiency set bad examples for other government employees.
4. Sermundo started his own association for non-flamboyant non-gay barbers.
5. Texas Drifter is trying not to interfere in his short stories’ characters lives; not sure how long before Texas Drifter has another weak writing exercise moment.
6. What sick Leninist-Obama policy will his zombie bureaucrats unleash on Judeo-Christian parents who remove their children from public schools to have their children taught in private schools or home schooled?

The answer for question number six will appear after Thanksgiving in “Your Neighbors Nightmares File 402 Part I”. Author has a non-fiction short story entitled “Texas Drifter’s Thanksgiving” which is in line waiting to be posted. Editor’s choice.

Hope you, your family, and friends have safe Thanksgiving Holidays. Should I include the following, I should, may God bless you and yours with the wisdom to return America's Constitutional Republic to pathways intended by those who have, still are, and will fight to preserve America's traditions and values. 

Texas Drifter, AKA Marshall, AKA John, AKA Richard, AKA Bill Jackson and so on.

Entry # 091

Marshall’s Law Townhall Dateline – Could elected officials who do not think like Americans refuse to adopt government policies allowing citizens with small carbon foot prints to auction their carbon credits to private citizens with Godzilla sized individual citizen carbon foot prints?

This Texas drifter works and lives in a part of America where forty percent to fifty percent of residents are illegal immigrants and forty to fifty percent of population are American Hispanic citizens. The varying three to five percent of population are American citizens with Western European heritage.

One of pleasures of getting older is not having new pains in new places when getting up in the morning. After what started out as good day was brightened after over hearing following conversation between two American Hispanic citizens.

While waiting for my coffee to cool, a young American Hispanic citizen was over heard sniping at an older American Hispanic citizen: We are both American citizens so that makes us the same. The older man responded, “Both American citizens, yes, but with one difference. I think like an American and you think like a Mexican.” At which time the younger of the two got up and walked out.

Some examples of not thinking like an American. I had a friend whose daughter was a heroin addict. He used to give her money to buy heroin so she would not have to hook or steal for her drugs. He tried to explain to me that since I have no children I did not know what it was like to have a child you loved addicted to heroin. I agreed that he was right about that, but suggested that giving his daughter money to buy heroin could only lead down a road to bad places.

Also knew an individual who while serving in combat was forced to leave his best soldier behind to provide cover fire; so the rest of the squad could return to predestinated pick up site. The associate told me that he knew giving the order to stay behind was the last order he would ever give one of the best men who had ever served under his command.

American citizens are facing two choices: one, encourage volunteer deportation of illegal immigrants or face due process forced deportation of illegal immigrants. This policy will result in sending many illegal immigrants to return to being robbed, raped, and murdered upon being returned to Mexico and some other third world countries.

Second choice, failure to deport all illegal immigrants will result in the destruction of America’s Constitutional Republic as only reason Leninist-Obama Democrats want to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants is so voting rights that will come with amnesty insure Democrats perpetual control of America’s municipal, county, state, and federal political institutions.

My loyalties are easy to illustrate, I did not create problem: Moderate Republicans like Bush and McCain along with Socialist Democrats created problem. Also I took an oath to uphold protect and defend America’s constitution from all enemies domestic and foreign not serve some corrupt Mexican aristocracy. Undeniable fact: Mexico's aristocracy has been promoting its own citizens to flee to United States as relief valve to delay inevitable class based revolution in Mexico.

Purpose of these examples is to remind conservatives that sometimes choices extend beyond good and bad; sometimes decision choices include unpleasant and worse. Requiring illegal immigrants to leave voluntarily or by due process force is not a pleasant decision; allowing them to stay and be Leninist-Obama Democrat voters which will destroy America’s traditions, values, and Constitution is worse for America than having them go back home and apply to re-enter America legally.

Leninist-Obama Democrats on other side of issue only believe in two choices as defined by political correctness: what makes us happy and you know "what" for America and everyone who disagrees with our enlightened Democrat Party Socialist Fascism.

One good example of people who seem to share Democrat Party government is God syndrome is City Hall for one South Texas town. City Hall’s public drinking fountain does not work, and City Administrator’s refuse to provide water to public citizens regardless of race or age from city employee’s recreation room as the Administrators can only be called burrocrats. Name of town may be released at later date depending on Texas Drifter’s mood.

Other examples include decisions made by Obama’s Administration for Democrat Party’s public subsidy addicts and zombie followers. Readers can develop their own list of not best decisions for America's traditions, values, and Constitutional Republic by Obama Administration.

Time for “Think Like American Case Study”: If environment polluting countries like U.S. should buy carbon credits from non-polluting third world countries, it seems reasonable that the concept be expanded to private American citizens.

Example Texas drifter owns no vehicles, and lives in Free Spirit fifth wheel that operates only on DC not AC power. Since Texas Drifter barely leaves infant’s carbon foot prints; why should Texas Drifter not be allowed to auction off his individual carbon credits to someone like Al Gore who leaves Godzilla carbon foot prints?

The Texas Drifter thinking like an American can then use proceeds he gets from selling his carbon credits to Al Gore to purchase products that cause Texas Drifter to recycle his proceeds by buying carbon credits from other citizens. Seems like a good way to rebuild America’s economy. All that needs to happen is for America’s political officials to require that Hollywood celebrities and other Greenist hypocrites like Pelosi be forced to buy carbon credits from conservatives.

Since there is no “blue book” for individual carbon credits, I will let market place determine value of my carbon credits: number of credits is determined by size of carbon foot prints. The smaller foot prints return larger number of carbon credits.

Since Texas Drifter is leaving really small infant carbon foot prints, number of his carbon credits is huge almost beyond public school students’ ability to comprehend. Will start bidding for my carbon credits from liberals for fifty thousand dollars. Since I do not care for liberals, I will start bidding from conservatives for ten thousand dollars. Payment must be made in American cash, no checks, credit, or debit cards.

Closing note, “Your Neighbors Nightmares File # 401 Final Part” should be posted in a couple of days, still have not decided fates for Baby Maria, Young Reporter, Aunt and Uncle, Girl With Green Hair and Ear Ring In Her Nose, and Sermundo.

Entry # 090

Dateline Marshall’s Law Townhall – Outline for interview on KGAB AM 650 Cheyenne, Wyoming; 9AM Central on Third Monday of Month – November 16, 2009. Listen in KGAB.com

Interview theme keeping illegal immigration amnesty issue daily headline.

1. Great site to review illegal immigrants news and affects on America; Google oneoldvet.com then search “Anti Illegal Immigration Amnesty Petition”; plus lots of other information and contacts. Site displays following by Winston Churchill: Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

2. Another great site for Americans and their veterans and those interested in obtaining best health care services for America’s Veterans: (still working on getting address) - got permission great place to reinspire patriotic feelings - Google - therealitycheck.org

3. Explain formula for additional fifty thousand border agents plus support staff needed on southern border.

4. Daily violence in Mexico is practicably indistinguishable from good guys and bad guys: bandits and cartel enforcers wear police and federal troops uniforms; police and federal troops also wear police and federal troops uniforms; both groups wear ski masks when carrying out their assignments – can not blame police and federal troops for wearing ski masks to keep bad guys from killing their family members – only ones capable of solving Mexico’s problems are Mexican people.

Interference by American government policies will only make things worse for Mexican illegal immigrants forced to return to Mexico, and could destroy America’s Constitutional republic if illegal immigrants do not return to Mexico - either voluntary deportation or with legal due process force – Sad truth is other Americans are going to have to clean up social anarchy mess created by ignorance of Bush Republicans and Liberal Democrats. 

5. Southern Porous Border News you have not seen on FOX and will never see on Obama’s mainstream network news propaganda networks; you have to wait and learn during Mr. Dave’s MORNING ZONE.

6. Discuss recent comments to me that some Americans have right to be racists against Western European Anglos – Round about example for liberals: spouse swapping –as a conservative I may tolerate liberal behavior of adultery which violates one of Ten Commandments as I feel some “free will” conduct is best left judged between offending individual and Heaven’s judgment.

Difference between my conservative conduct and liberals’ behavior is I will not condone, associate with, and certainty never promote or advocate bad behavior; where as Democrat Liberals to be politically correct generally condone and promote all forms of sin and promiscuity. My position is no one has earned right to practice racism even affirmative action; while liberals believe just being relatives of individuals whose ancestors generations ago may have been victims of unfair treatment are entitled to hate people who had noting to do yesteryear abuses.

7. Breaking southern porous border news

8. Conversations with callers

Young Reporter 

Girl With Green Hair and Ear Ring In Her Nose.

Setting: Utopian promises made by Leninist-Obama political leaders to political zombies combined with consequences of fool’s expectations are threatening America's constitutional republic.

Preface: your author Texas Drifter prefers not interfering in characters lives in his non-fiction short stories, though occasional exceptions happen.

Young Reporter to Texas Drifter: Have a few questions about my very first assignment, a traffic accident ruled negligent homicide caused by operator failure to control speed.

Texas Drifter: Initial options are weather / road conditions; product design failure; product production defect; product installation negligence; problem caused by road hazard.

Young Reporter: No pressure on brake pedal and no brake oil in any of brake lines.

Texas Drifter: No brake pressure and no oil could be results of damage from accident.

Young Reporter: Examine these loose connections on major brake lines on my cell phone video camera.

Texas Drifter: Cell phone video cameras I need to get out more. To your original question, answer leaning to human intervention not likely mechanic as maybe one connection left loose, odds are not likely all connections left not tightened; narrows accident possibilities to revenge or suicide.

Young Reporter: young happily married couple with first child Baby Maria, no reports of infidelity, no gambling debts or any thing else suggesting revenge generated murder. As far as suicide, parents had money problems, does not explain why both parents would share a suicide and leave ten month old child Baby Maria an orphan.

Texas Drifter: any other thoughts?

Young Reporter: not sure how accurate the source is, but Servando non-flamboyant non-gay barber told me following about Baby Maria’s medical history and problems with Obama’s health care system.

Texas Drifter: Go out side an see if any of Obama’s America Corpse neighborhood snitches are checking your vehicle; while I check one of my past sources at court house.  

(More or Less Five Minute Break)

Texas Drifter: Check with old court house contact revealed Texas Child Protective Services has filed for and been granted documents to take to take Baby Maria into custody to be placed in foster care to be euthanized to save federal governments medical dollars. The order grants immediate custody, but Texas Child Protective Services will probably wait until Monday after Thanksgiving to enforce court order.

Texas Drifter shows note pad to Young Reporter and continues: Remember this name and this address, neither are to ever be written down; name is a former doctor whose license was stripped by Obama’s Administration for not performing government mandated abortions. Give the man this playing card, he will know who sent you, then explain Baby Maria’s situation. He will probably give you what used to be called “samples” of medicine before Obama ordered all “samples” turned into government. The medicine should solve Baby Maria’s medical problems and return her to good health.

Young Reporter: Why are you helping?

Texas Drifter: Quiet I am not through, the supplier of “samples” will also give you contact information for three Underground Railroad tickets out of Texas. May Heaven bless your trip; never contact me or any other good folks in this story again. Ignore my advice and you will get a lot of people killed or sent to one of Obama’s re-education camps. Go follow fate’s path for you, me I have got to warn a non—flamboyant non-gay barber about not sharing any more secrets about Baby Maria’s case.

Intermission questions until next installment Your Neighbors Nightmares – file # 401.

1)         Will Young Reporter get both illegal “samples” of medicine to save Baby Maria’s life, and three Underground Railroad tickets out of Texas?

2)         Will Texas Child Protective Services takes custody of Baby Maria and put her in foster care to euthanize Baby Maria to save governments’ medical dollars?

3)         Who is the girl with green hair who wears an ear ring in her nose?

4)         Will Obama’s America Corpse neighborhood snitches rat on any of good folks in this story, and what happens to good folks turned in by Obama’s America Corpse neighborhood snitches?

5)         Will Texas drifter quit interfering in characters lives in his non-fiction stories?

6)         Will non-flamboyant non-gay barber Sermundo not repeat what he knows about Baby Maria’s case?

Setting: Utopian promises made by Leninist-Obama political leaders to political zombies combined with consequences of fool’s expectations are threatening America's constitutional republic.

Future history of Obama’s  pure Marxist-fascist policies of setting “free market reasonable” salaries for private sector managers; America’s businesses from small independents to Fortune One Hundred Corporations could not attract competent managers willing to provide their abilities, experiences, skills, and other criteria necessary to produce profitable financial ventures.

Getting people who live to succeed and win in economic markets' calculated risks to act like losers for government regulated pay checks guarantees both failed ethical capitalism, and death of private sector middle class the soul of every constitutional capitalist republic.

Meet one of your neighbors nightmares, most of America’s private sector companies went bankrupt with blue collar and white collar employee jobs being out sourced with company infra structures transferred to places like China, India, Middle East, Mexico, Venezuela, and Cuba. In addition to lost wages all alpha retirement investments were also lost as new foreign owners had no loyalty to American workers.

Your neighbor in Nightmare File #401 lost their wages without even two weeks notice; then lost all family’s savings and retirement assets in one horrible day. Gone with the wages, savings, and retirement assets were private sector health insurance coverage.

No problem until family found out that their only child Baby Maria had a curable fatal infection that Obama’s national health care would not provide treatment for as children twelve months or younger were considered using Obama’s Administration words still “abortionable”; which was more cost effective use of governments' medical dollars.

Family reacting in a state of pure horror and terror tries to arrange for equity loan against their home to provide necessary health care treatment for Baby Maria.

Despite bold faced lies by Obama and all Liberal Democrats; it is a federal crime to try and purchase private health care “on the side” in Obama’s health care system. Family had their “paid for” home confiscated for involving house in crime of trying to buy health care for Baby Maria.

Imagine the pure terror and horror you would feel if you knew Obama’s only health care for your only child was “taking a pill” which was synonymous with post natal abortion.

Parents decided what only a loving parent or parents might understand, to die in “accident looking” car wreck so blood relatives who worked for government could adopt Baby Maria so she could get health care to save her life as government employees and illegal immigrants recently granted amnesty had better health care than private sector middle class citizens.
 
Accident went as planned although results were derailed when blood relatives working for government learned that government benefits were limited to natural born children of public servants. It seems that Obama’s million plus page health care plan had established that children adopted by government employees were not “real” members of government employee families.

One of blood relatives upon learning of regulation cried my brother and your sister-in-law died for nothing. His wife whispered "quiet" one of Obama’s America Corpse neighborhood snitches might hear you, and we both would lose our government jobs. Then we would both get sent to one of Obama’s Muslim re-education camps for Judeo-Christians. Our first priority is getting Baby Maria health care to keep her alive.

Intermission questions until next installment of Your Neighbors Nightmares - File #401:
1) Will Baby Maria’s new adopted parents obtain necessary health care to save Baby Maria’s life?
2) Will Obama’s zombies find Baby Maria and force her to take post natal abortion pill”?
3) Will adopted parents be ratted out and turned in by Obama’s America Corpse nieghborhood snitches?
4) Will adopted parents lose both their government jobs and have to attend Obama Muslim re-education camp for being Judeo-Christians?
5) Will Texas Drifter continue to be ignored by conservatives who believe Obama’s plans for America should be tolerated with respect since Obama is America’s first half white President?

Marshall’s Law Townhall Dateline - November Schedule, usual fiction writing exercise essays, plus two special non-fiction projects for Marshall’s Law Townhall readers. First, results of “inexpensive” social research study showing that Liberal Democrats conduct as a social group compared to Ten Commandments “scorecard” resulted in perfect zero compliance. 

Now conservatives can make reasonable efforts based of same scientific methodology facts as global climate change to support efforts to officially have liberals be listed as evil on census forms. Facts are what facts are and liberals are what liberals are.

Second, will be introduction of perhaps scariest non-fiction series ever written. Project is entitled “Your Neighbors Nightmares” a continuing saga about lives of people you know and the fears and horrors they encounter living during the rise and fall of Obama’s empire. Who knows when one of Obama’s zombie bureaucrats, zombie disciples, or zombie covert closet racist celebrity zombies will be coming for you.

A friend said I was planning way too much truth and entertainment for Marshall’s Law Townhall readers. My response: not for the Texas Drifter, orphan, with some money; that is Mr. Texas Drifter for soiled liberals; enjoy.

Starting with results of “inexpensive” social research study showing that Liberal Democrats conduct as a social group compared to Ten Commandments “scorecard” resulted in perfect zero compliance. 

Liberalism is the most “gods top heavy” of all religions. The only God Liberals do not accept is Judeo-Christian.

Judeo-Christian First commandment is to worship only one God. Liberals worship following gods: governments, political cult leaders like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Franklin Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton, Castro, and now Obama. Liberals also worship as gods: socialist ideology, environmental greenism, Mother Nature, and trees. Maybe being a little disrespectful to one of Liberals many gods, trees; I prefer to worship a god that does not end up as charcoal. Accurate observation about liberals is that there as many liberal gods as liberals.

Judeo-Christian Second Commandment is about not making and worshiping idols. Liberals probably worship as many idols as they worship false gods. One of most known ancient idols is “Golden Calf” of Moses day. Your author has always felt that if some one could find old photos of those making and celebrating Golden Calf, some of those in photos would look like ancestors of modern day liberals and moderate Republicans. Truly an identification process for another writing exercises.

Back to modern liberal idols, most are built on stolen property and born in government public subsidy addict programs; specific idols include: welfare checks, student loans, health care, public schools, and affirmative action programs. Could go on you the reader can add to the list.

Judeo-Christian Third Commandment is about not misusing God’s name. Many mistakenly limit this to using God’s name as a swear phrase. Liberals generally misuse God’s name by taking oaths to God they never intend to keep. Simple example is “telling truth, whole truth, and nothing but truth in court of law”. Most misuse of God’s name is in oaths of marriage which most Liberals violate before honey moon is over. Conservatives often also misuse God’s name in oath by not keeping promise to Heaven to “uphold, protect, and defend” some document from “all enemies domestic and foreign”.

Judeo-Christian Fourth Commandment about keeping Sabbath “Holy”. Problem is Liberals do not treat any Judeo-Christian concept with “Holy respect”. Liberals are people who desecrate Judeo-Christian symbols like “Lord’s Cross” by displaying them in bottles of urine in public displays funded by public bureaucracies.

 Judeo-Christian Fifth Commandment is about honoring one’s parents. The last parents Liberals honor is their birth parents, generally by dropping them off at the first nursing home on way out of town. Liberals have multitudes of parents like multitudes of gods and false idols. Liberals have step parents, parents swapping parents, two daddies, two mommies, seed donor parents, list goes on and on and on. People wonder why children from “broken homes” raised by freaks turn out weirder than their sideshow parents.

Judeo-Christian Sixth Commandment thou shall not murder which is different than killing in self defense. Guess Liberals by murdering unborn children, supporting medical health care restrictions for disabled children, chronically ill adults, and "their time to die" senior citizens are killing all these people in self defense. Not even going to get into Liberals following policies getting American law enforcement and members of armed forces murdered because of Liberals policies. Nor will I mention all the women and children raped and tortured into slavery so Liberals can keep America’s Southern border porous to give illegal immigrants amnesty so they will help re-elect Leninist–Obama Democrats to public office.

Judeo-Christian Seventh Commandment is about committing adultery. There is a totally wasted Commandment on Liberals. Evidence speaks for itself. Liberals have highest divorce ratios of any social group in United States of America. Two Liberal Democrat racial and ethnic minority groups have highest number of children born to never married parents. Further examine Liberal Democrat cult heroes: John Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, and Bill Clinton, many minority religious leaders and athlete “role modes”, and most Hollywood celebrity males who are generally known for treating their women like groupie strumpets. Truth being known having one’s daughter marry a Liberal is only about half a step above marrying some Islamic fascists.

Judeo-Christian Eight Commandment another wasted Commandment on Liberals. Stealing from those who have and giving to those who need is the primary principle of Marxist-Leninist- Stalinist- Hitler-Mao-Castro-Obama Democratic Liberal Socialist ideology worshiped as god by Liberals. Expecting a Liberal not to be a thief is like expecting Liberal to not act like female dog in perpetual heat.

Judeo-Christian Ninth Commandment thou shall not lie. Another Commandment Liberals will never comprehend; starts with lying to wives about not being adulterers; followed by rationalizing how stealing is good for the poor not mentioning liberals financial cut taken by liberals. Lying for Liberals is just part of their genetic makeup.

Judeo-Christian Commandment Ten references not coveting neighbors’ valuables. Another concept Liberals are not capable of understanding. Seems concept of taking from ones' means to give to another’s needs should make obvious point.

Liberals can not be considered immoral as one has to have at least had morals at one time to be identified as immoral. Liberals are amoral as are those described as socio-pathos or psycho-pathos. Relevance of this information is to help distinguish sides in America’s next uncivil civil war. Never did care for phrase civil war as civil wars are never civil. America’s first Civil War was between States, North and South. Combatants in America’s next uncivil civil war will be identified as “good” and “evil”. Information presented in this writing exercise should leave no doubts that conservatives will be standing for good; and Liberal Democrats will be representing, must I say it, I must - representing EVIL.

Still think my friend was wrong, when he said I was planning way too much truth and entertainment for Marshall’s Law Townhall readers. My response: not for the Texas Drifter, orphan, with some money; that is Mr. Texas Drifter for soiled liberals; enjoy.

Entry # 086

Marshall’s Law Townhall Dateline – President Obama’s using press conferences to portray himself as astute decision making Commander of America’s Armed Forces by revealing national security defense strategies to be used in Afghanistan has accomplished two very evil objectives; first contributed to getting American military personnel wounded, maimed, and killed. Second, provided aid and comfort to Taliban who someone should remind Obama are America’s enemies in Obama’s “chosen” Afghanistan war.

Telegraphing future combat strategies to enemies in war goes beyond incompetence, dereliction of duty, and rapidly passes criminal negligent homicide even if done by America’s Commander-In-Chief.

Making matters worse are Obama, his Administration, and zombie disciples’ public addiction to at least weekly in public at White House “Nero style” decadent food and alcohol feasts. Party events made more decadent for being held while troops in Afghanistan are fighting, being wounded, getting maimed, and killed so America’s political leaders can have luxury of conducting themselves like human swine.

If America were a country that used “scarlet letter” type markings to shame participants, those attending these events could certainly qualify for Obama’s “mark of shame”. Following World War II; I believe French patriots shaved heads of French women who were little too friendly with occupying Germans.  

Your author can already hear complaints by Leninist-Obama Liberal Democrats, and anti-conservative Chamberlain McCain and some Bush family ruling class aristocrats that above observations are just “plain mean”. A little challenge, when local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies copy Obama’s tell the enemies or bad guys our plans in press conferences I might, just might tone down my criticisms of Obama’s non-defensible despicable conduct.

Want me to tone down my criticism of Obama; redirect CNN failed news efforts to broadcasting as “live breaking news” coverage of local, state, and federal law enforcement planning sessions for executing all arrest and search warrants.

Have not owned a television set for over five years; might consider getting one to watch the following scenarios: Hey Pa … cops are showing our house on TV again; claim they are coming by about five thirty in the morning … Thanks Ma … we will have to leave about five before they get here … Life sure is better since CNN starting reporting news that serves our community.

If America’s local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies start copying Obama’s use of press conferences to warn bad guys what agency plans are; toning down my comments about Obama’s will be last thing on anyone’s minds.

Personal note: have two special projects for Marshall’s Law Townhall readers in November. First, results of “inexpensive” research study facts showing that Liberal Democrats conduct as a social group compared to Ten Commandments “scorecard” resulted in perfect zero compliance.  Now efforts can be made to officially have liberals be listed as evil on census forms. Facts are what facts are and liberals are what liberals are.

Second will be introduction of perhaps scariest series ever written. Project is entitled “Your Neighbors Nightmares” a continuing saga about lives of people you know and the fears and horrors they encounter living during the rise and fall of Obama’s empire. Who knows one of Obama’s zombie bureaucrats, zombie disciples, or zombie covert closet racist celebrity zombies will be coming for you.

Marshall’s Law Townhall Dateline – Non-fiction Halloween Story “Heart of The Ebony”. Americans who believe that Obama’s actions and policies will destroy America’s capitalist constitutional republic is fiction, will believe my short stories are non-fiction.

Just two out of many examples: number one collective attitudes of “no time to care about America” liberal women. After all they have, “my physical needs, my off springs’ needs, my family’s needs, my social needs, my career needs, my continuing education needs, my being promiscuous for little extra money needs, and my many other needs that come before country.”

Second example, liberal men attitudes: “God never helps me and keeps me from being happy, popular, and wealthy. That is why I live on and invest borrowed money in businesses that I know nothing about; do business with those whose individual character and professional integrity I know nothing about; make one fool’s decision after another never learning from bad decisions; spend more time thinking of scams to cheat customers with get rich scams rather than spend time trying to produce good products and deliver quality services at fair profitable price; then to make things ‘better’ get involved with liberal women which leaves no time to care about America. Not having time to care about America has noting too do with Heaven, other ethnic races and successful people keeping me a failure.” 

Non-fiction Halloween Story “Heart of The Ebony”. Americans who believe that Obama’s actions and policies will destroy America’s capitalist constitutional republic is fiction, will believe my short stories are non-fiction.

“Heart of The Ebony” starts now: 

What out of work investigators dislike more than bad guys are telephones. Phones never seem to bring good news, and always bother you when you don’t need to be bothered. As Heaven is my witness, one of these mornings, afternoons, or nights, I am going to use my phone for target practice.

Texas jerked my eleven year ticket to manage investigations in the Lone Star State for moral turpitude. Not mine, theirs. It seems that private political corruption investigations are immoral in Texas. After repeated warnings from state officials to stop investigating “honest elected officials”; I changed the “x” in Texas on my business cards and invoices to a swastika.

Apparently bureaucrats better suited to being welfare recipients do not have a sense of humor. All that aside, It’s my problem not yours that I am presently financially embarrassed because my ticket to make a living has been “Indefinitely” revoked.

It was sometime after midnight when I had just laid down for a good night’s sleep. My only hopes were that the utility company did not cut my water off; before I got up to fix my usual water and cereal breakfast

As predicted, the phone started ringing shortly after my mind was lost to the world. I barely recognized the frantic voice as that of a friend who always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

After getting him to speak slower and not so loud; I was able to gather that he had hit a pedestrian at dead man’s curve, but could not find the body. He wanted me meet him at dead man’s curve with my night vision equipment and heat detector to try and help him find the body.

Told him that I would be there in about twenty minutes, being honest, I wasn’t thinking about what we would do if I found the body, but how l might be able to get gas money and a real breakfast out of this venture.

First thing I noticed while greeting my friend was that there was no damage to his car. After explaining that this favor was going to cost him gas and a real breakfast; he blurted out there was a woman standing in the middle of the road as he came out of the curve. “She was just there; I tried to swerve but it was too late! I saw her roll over the right side of the hood, and slide off by the passenger door!”

Walking over and pointing to the right headlight, I tried to reassure him with the observation that there was zero damage to his car, and that kind of impact would have had to trash his fiberglass fenders. I was just about to suggest that we go find a truck stop for my gas and breakfast when I noticed what appeared to be a white veil dangling from the passenger’s door side mirror.

He watched while I spent the next two hours scouring the immediate area with my night vision and heat detecting equipment nothing absolutely nothing. Told him after a real breakfast and getting a full tank of gas that he should not say anything to anybody while I made a few inquires.

My first thought was to call Karol about lunch time to see what clues the white veil provided. Karol is the textbook forensic scientist: reserved intellectual doll always in long white lab coat, big glasses, and hair up in a bun.

After she repeated my favorite words, “I’m buying”; I headed over to her favorite vegetarian cafe to see what she might be able to tell me about my only clue. Meal was alright for people who live on rabbit food. She did tell me that the veil was at least a hundred years old, and that she would run some tests to give me a better time frame.

My next contact would be Tanya, a vice cop. I knew that Tanya came on duty about seven that night, you guessed it supper time. Tanya’s “I’m buying” made me look forward to dinner. No more rabbit food. Shrimp marinated in orange sauce is not usually a part of my diet, but seeing Tanya in her undercover costumes was always pleasing to the senses.

Explained to Tanya, that I was helping a friend for gas money; would really owe her if she asked me about any recent missing person reports. After leaving Tanya while heading home, I was thinking that I should draw a circle on the calendar around today’s date: three meals in one day - who need’s bureaucrats when you got friends?

Like an instant replay: It was sometime after midnight when I had just laid down for a good night’s sleep. My only hopes were that the utility company did not cut my water off; before I got up to fix my usual water and cereal breakfast

As predicted, the phone started ringing shortly after my mind was lost to the world. This time the voice was cold and calculated not frantic. It was Tanya asking me to meet her at dead man’s curve.

As I started clearing dead man’s curve I became a witness to one more emergency vehicles light show. Upon exiting my vehicle, Tanya approached and asked me to follow her. She led me over to a black body bag; took the towel off the victim’s face and asked, “Is this your fiend?”

Before I could answer, Tanya quipped “Look at his face. The coroner says fear killed him. Is this your friend?”

My crisp answer: he was.

Tanya seemed to forget that we had been dinner companions just hours before: “I want to know what you are working on.”

Being honest, I told her: I don’t know. As I was walking away, Tanya half way yelled “No more, until you tell me what’s going on.”

What a day, from three good meals to losing two meal tickets. Why do I know tomorrow is not going to be much better. Sure enough, the next day started out with dry cereal for breakfast because the water department started their day by repossessing my water meter.

No time to explain or complain as I still had to figure out whom or what had scared my friend to death. I sure wanted get back on Tanya’s occasional guest for dinner list. Thought I would start by trying to meet Laurel for lunch.

Maybe she would convey my most recent popular phrase; “I’m buying”. Being the county’s most relentless journalist, the lady is best distinguished by her business suits with creases that rival those seen in military reviews. At this point I would have been grateful for fast food.

Knew that if anybody could identify sources of information about dead man’s curve, it had to be her. Just as sure as rainbows follow thunderstorms, she had the answer: an old historian currently suffering from degenerative senile dementia.

After spending a couple of hours with the occasionally lucid nursing home resident, I was able to come up with the following legend. The name of the woman that my friend had supposedly seen in the middle of the road, roughly translates from traditional lore as “the tears lady”. Unconfirmed individual sightings of the woman have been reported for almost 250 years.

The story goes that a young Indian maiden converted and renamed Margarita by Spanish priests became involved with a prominent Spanish land owner in the mid 1700’s. The girl became pregnant and bore the land owners child out of wedlock. The land baron after learning of the unholy birth kidnapped the child and abandoned the infant in South Texas brush country.

Myth has it that Margarita spent the rest of her life crying hysterically while wandering through the thorny thicket looking for her lost child. Later legend has it that she would stand in the middle of the road trying to cause wagons to overturn when horses veered off the road.

It is also said that sometimes she would be seen on the side of the road, and latter appear on the backs of horses or in the backs of wagons of those who passed her by. Myth warns that those who turn to gaze at her will see a face so horrible that they shall be scared to death.

As to what she wants, nobody has ever survived her temptations to look upon her original beauty to know the answer; but her desires probably involve something that only the living can accomplish as spirits have physical limitations.

Upon arriving back at my cluttered "Free Spirit" fifth wheel, I decided to skip supper and just call Karol for an update of test results on the white veil. She seemed surprised when I asker her if the veil dated back to the 1750’s. Her response: If you are going to waste my time asking me things you already know, you can find yourself another meal ticket.

Somewhere somehow, my thought processes had turned from future meal tickets to returning to dead man’s curve. Instincts were warning me that I had to avoid swerving and force myself to drive through Margarita’s apparition. Intentionally running down victims may come easy for some people, but I knew I needed an edge.

Since the plan was to stay alert; drugs were not the answer; maybe technology could make the difference. I set the cruise control at fifty before entering dead man’s curve; now all I had to do was concentrate on running straight and keeping my foot off the brake and accelerator. As I cleared the curve, what had been a clear night turned to the blackest fog I had ever seen. Suddenly there in middle of the road standing and waving; as if welcoming me out of the fog.

My only thoughts were drive straight and keep away from the brakes. I do not remember what came first, her screams, the sounds of her hitting the car, or my outburst of a single profanity. I apologize for not remembering the sequence, but I was distracted by her rolling over the hood into the windshield.

Maybe it was Poe like terror or pure concentration that kept me from turning the wheel, who knows; but somehow I managed to avoid swerving and come to a slow measured stop. As suddenly as Margarita had appeared in the road, I was out of my car screaming verbal challenges, it seems that I had lost control of all my emotions.

The unplanned release of adrenalin suddenly reminded me that I still had to face Margarita’s temptations. In a renewed calmness I turned and stepped back into my car. In what seemed like passing inspiration, I reached up and tore off the rear view mirror before resetting the cruise control. My vehicle had not traveled thirty feet when I heard breathing highlighted by whimpering moans coming right behind me from the back seat.

In another flash of inspiration I reached over and turned on the radio, but the radio failed to generate a single sound. Put yourself in my place; imagine you were me; how would you feel when hot sultry breath punctuated with gurgling growls covered the back of your neck? Would you have turned to look into that face, or swerved out of reflex?

Being honest, I almost crossed the border of losing all self control when Margi, I was too terrified to remember her full name, started howling and running those colder than ice fingernails down the base of my skull. Right before losing all control, I noticed Margi along the side the road walking into the fog and mesquite thicket.

With out thinking I slammed on the brakes and stopped within feet of her exit point; without turning around, her barely audible fleeting words were: “A cross for my child made from the heart of the ebony.”

I spent most of the next morning looking for a suitable piece of ebony, and another ten hours making and polishing a small cross. I never knew that the heart of ebony was such hard wood.
  
The phone rang shortly before the ten o’clock news, Laurel wanted an update on my activities. Told her that I couldn’t explain what I didn’t understand. She is incredibly patient, but told me to find another meal ticket until I had a better answer.

Spent the following hours waiting for the phone to ring; suddenly as if I were possessed, I picked up the silent phone only to hear “It’s Margi, I’m buying”.

Being someone who always keeps their promise, I took my double action forty caliber out from under my pillow and shot that darn phone twice. After tossing the pistol on the bed, I reached over and picked up the cross for a child made from the heart of the ebony. As for this time tomorrow, don’t have a clue.
