Both of us type A personalities, my wife Mary and I forced ourselves to take a break from emails, computers, faxes and writing. We spent a leisurely Wednesday at our favorite New Smyrna Beach here in Florida. While chillin' in our beach chairs, a seagull landed about ten feet away. I tossed a piece of fried chicken about five feet from him.
The timid seagull took a few hesitant steps toward the food and stopped. Suddenly, another seagull swooped down and consumed the free meal. I threw more pieces of chicken progressively closer to my chair which drew about a dozen seagulls. The original gull squawked and watched. I thought, You wimp, everyone around you is feasting on chicken and you don't have the guts to take a reasonable risk. Too bad he doesn't have Obama to spread the chicken around.
It is interesting how God has designed life that every achievement requires a little faith, courage and risk. Beginning August 28th in Sacramento, CA, I will be traveling and performing my American Tea Party Anthem across our great land on the national TeaPartyExpress.org tour. Our tour will finale at the Taxpayer March on DC and rally Sept. 12th.
SEIU thugs put black conservative Kenneth Gladney in the emergency room for simply selling Don't Tread on Me flags outside of a town hall meeting. I too, as a black conservative, risk the same fate or worse because of my outspoken and visible opposition to Obama's far left agenda. I guess those who voted for Obama purely because of his race, think we black conservatives deserve extreme punishment for not supporting the first black president regardless of his policies.
Nevertheless, preserving America as we know it, is worth any risk. Our brave young U.S. Military troops put everything on the line for our great country every day. Throughout our history many brave have suffered and died to preserve our freedom, liberty and culture. My risk pales in comparison.
I am proud and honored to be chosen by God to stand up for America. We on the Tea Party Express Tour covet your prayers and support as we travel to restore and preserve our great country.
Quoting a courageous American, Todd Beamer, Let's roll!
Thank you Lloyd and I will along with all patriotic Americans be by your side.
We are still free and we are all connected! Let them not divide us.
Keep up the great work, Lloyd. Your courage inspires.
From such men as you will the new American Republic rise. Everytything that made this country great is still with us, with enough of us to make a difference.
As our esteemed friend Jeff Head has said, “There’s a storm coming. Stand strong, lean into it, push it back.”
I’ll be pushing there with you.
God be wit hyou and yours, Lloyd. You’re welcome at my table any time.
God’s speed, Lloyd.
We need to keep him and his family in our prayers - it must be driving the dems/administration wild figuring out how to call HIM “Racist”
Thank you! God bless you! And God Bless the Tea Party Express! America needs you so much right now - thank you for standing up and being on the frontline!
Keep up the great work! You are truly courageous!
My thoughts and prayers are with you brother! (I don’t mean race here. I mean as a FREE American!)
You’re a conservative hero, Lloyd Marcus! God bless you!!!
You da man, Lloyd!
Every time I hear you singing in the background of that teapartyexpress.org commercial on FOX I wanna jump out of my chair and yell YES!!!!
Have a great trip. When it is all over, I am sure you will be nothing short of thrilled that you did it.
How can we lose? We just plain have better people on our side.
God bless and keep you, Lloyd.
I will be in Hartford to see you at the Tea Party Express Friday morning on 9/11. I hope to shake your hand and wish you success. God bless you.
