You just gotta love the spine of Rush Limbaugh. Truth can be hard. While I would like to give Rush credit for always dealing with topics truthfully regardless of the consequences, I believe Rush’s DNA prevents him from dealing with them otherwise.

From Rush’s cautioning of conservatives not to jump on the Ross Perot bandwagon to commenting on the media’s unrealistic portrayal of Donovan McNabb, telling the truth has gotten Rush in trouble.

Rush’s most recent offense of ‘truth telling’ is his analysis of the media’s distorted, bias and fault coverage of various aspects of the Haiti disaster. One of the media’s falsehoods pointed out by Rush is their claim that Obama’s response to the Haiti disaster is far superior to Bush’s response to Katrina. Rush understands that unchallenged mis-truths later become facts.

In typical fashion, the usual suspects in the media distorted Rush’s remarks and accused him of saying things he did not say. They called Rush a racist and mind-spirited; standard names guaranteed to make white conservatives run for cover.

Thus, once again, I find myself thanking God for giving America Rush Limbaugh. I thank Him for creating a man who simply does not know how to go along to get along. There are not many things in life you can count on. But, you can always count on Rush Limbaugh telling it like it is.

In 1968, James Brown released his song, “Say It Loud — I’m Black and I’m Proud.” The cruelest and saddest effect of slavery and racism in America is that it caused us blacks to hate ourselves. When I was a kid, I picked up an unspoken vibe from my fellow blacks that light-skinned blacks were better than us of a darker completion. “Good hair” meant similar to white. One summer afternoon, my mom yelled, “You kids get in the house! You’re gettin’ too black out there in that sun!” I remember thinking, What is wrong with getting darker? This mindset is why Brown’s black pride anthem was so important and empowering.
Thank God that today, black youths would consider Brown’s song absurd and laughable. Despite what civil rights dinosaurs (stuck in the past), race profiteers, and the Obama administration would have us believe, America’s race relations have come a long way, baby.

Blacks are CEOs and multimillionaires. A full-figured, dark-skinned black woman could arguably be the most influential woman in the world, and a black man resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The emergence of blacks from slavery to power confirms the God-inspired greatness of America. While the NAACP continues to sing, “We Shall Overcome,” news flash — the truth is that we have overcome!

As singer/songwriter of the “American Tea Party Anthem,” do I need to pen a silly song titled “Say It Loud – I’m Conservative and I’m Proud”? Liberals use their bully pulpits of the White House and mainstream media to misrepresent and demonize conservatism. This has made many conservatives fearful of coming out of the closet. Even George Bush felt the need to soften conservatism by putting the word “compassionate” in front of it. Such pandering to the left only contributes to the lie that conservatism is heartless and cruel. The truth is quite the opposite. Liberalism is arrogant, demeaning, and harmful. True compassion is expressed through conservatism.

And yet, far too often, we conservatives allow ourselves to be put on the defensive for telling the truth and offering our commonsense solutions. We allow the left to dictate the rules and what we can and cannot say. They even determine what is or is not racist. It was recently reported that liberal democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid described then-Senator Barack Obama as “light-skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

Apparently Democrats Reid and V.P. Joe Biden, who made a similar racial comment, agree with L.A. Times reporter David Ehrenstein. Ehrenstein, a black man, called Obama “a Magic Negro” in an article. Conservative Rush Limbaugh was called a racist for simply mentioning the L.A. Times story.

Here is the blatant double-standard. Jackson, Sharpton, the NAACP, Democrats, and the mainstream media would have a cow had a conservative made the same comments as Reid. After they publicly flogged the racist conservative Republican SOB, they would demand his resignation. Reid apologized, and his liberal buddies ask us to forgive him. I mean after all, isn’t that what Jesus would do? Don’t you just love it when libs, whose mission is to ban God from the public square, refer to Jesus?

Taking back America requires that we stop being intimidated. We must boldly stand up for what is right, commonsense, and truly compassionate. For example, speaking English is unquestionably crucial to moving forward economically in America. Frustratingly, conservatives who encourage all Americans to speak English are attacked by the left as racist. Shake it off and keep telling and standing up for the truth.

The Tea Party Movement has been a coming-out party for conservatives, a kind of Proclamation of Liberation. We are standing up and saying “no” to political correctness and liberal tyranny. Still, like battered wives, some conservatives are shy about espousing the virtues of conservatism. They cannot bear the pain of being branded with the “R” for racist on their forehead for opposing any Obama agenda item. Nor can they handle being called heartless and cruel for opposing Obama’s redistribution of wealth via government-run health care.

On March 27, I will be on the road again with national Tea Party Express Tour III (TeaPartyExpress.org). I performed as a singer and speaker on tours I and II. Perhaps I should take a cue from James Brown and write a song to perform — one that will empower my timid conservative brothers and sisters who have been beaten down by liberal abuse and tyranny. “Say It Loud — I’m Conservative and I’m Proud!”

Now if I can just master a few of those dazzling James Brown dance moves. I can imagine the live report of my spectacular tea party performance: “Reminiscent of the late godfather of soul, amazingly, Lloyd does a spin and a split; the crowd goes wild! Oh my gosh, somebody call 9-1-1!” On second thought, I think I’ll stick to just singing and speaking.

This topic may infuriate many of my fellow blacks. I am talking about black monolithic thinking and black racism.
Black actor Michael Clarke Duncan is probably best known for his brilliant performance in the movie “The Green Mile”. I watched a Steve Harvey special on BET (Black Entertainment Television). Harvey was on stage in a hall filled with a mostly black audience. He criticized Duncan for playing an ape in the 2001 “Planet of the Apes” movie. Harvey said that Duncan playing an ape would set blacks back many years. He said he asked Duncan, “How much are they paying you to play an ape?” The black audience enthusiastically agreed with Harvey. Harvey even said that when Duncan appeared on his radio show, several black callers pressured him to chastise Duncan for accepting the role.

Am I crazy, or is Harvey’s and his audience’s problem with Duncan playing an ape absurd? White and black actors played apes in the movie. Once in full ape makeup, it is impossible to distinguish who is black or white. How is Duncan harming or betraying his race?

In typical “groupthink” fashion instilled in the black community by their black liberal plantation overseers and Democrats over the years, the independent-minded black actor was expected to turn down a role in a major motion picture to appease an erroneous perception.

Of course, I realize that whites have called us monkeys and apes in the past. But what does that have to do with Duncan playing a role? Will whites say, “Duncan played the role so well, perhaps blacks really are monkeys”? The black criticism of Duncan is based on paranoia and a bit of racism — kind of a “we know how those white folks think” attitude. “How much are they paying you to play an ape?” asked Harvey. Isn’t it fair to assume that Harvey is really asking Duncan, “How much are they paying you to betray your people?”

Black presidential candidate Barack Obama receiving 96% of the black vote can be described only as an example of groupthink and racism. I caught heck for not sheepishly following the lead of my fellow blacks in voting for and worshiping at the feet of their Great Black Hope. How dare I ignore Obama’s skin color and scrutinize this man seeking to be elected leader of the free world?

Blacks expected me to ignore Obama’s associations with radial America-haters, his voting three times against protecting babies who survive abortions, and his socialist agenda of redistribution of wealth. Black America decided that Obama’s skin color trumped everything, and I had better get in step. As Rev. Wright said, “I am tired of Negroes who just don’t get it!”

Such attacks against black individuality and attempts of control by an indoctrinated black community and liberals truly offend me. I am an individual who happens to be black. My race is the human race. And yet, do I enjoy seeing blacks succeed outside of the box set for them by liberals? Absolutely, because I am sick of liberals and black overseers dictating what is considered acceptable black behavior. Black overseers (Sharpton and company) were not outraged because Tiger Woods cheated on his wife, but they were offended by his choice to have affairs with white women.

In urban communities where black male school dropout rates have reached epidemic levels, studious and articulate blacks are accused of trying to be white.

I never dreamed that we blacks would need to be liberated from ourselves. Like all humans, blacks are extremely diverse in their talents, tastes, and desires. We must stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated and intimidated into collectively voting for Democrats in order to keep Sharpton, Jackson, and the NAACP employed.

Though our ancestors came to America on slave ships, we blacks are extremely blessed to be born in the greatest nation on the planet. It is time we let go of the past. Yes, I know this will infuriate and shock some of you (race profiteers), but it is true. Black overseers and liberals must stop exploiting America’s past sins and viewing America from a 1950 point of view. For the sake of our children, blacks must see America for what it truly is today: a wonderful country where if the Obama administration would simply get out of the way, anyone with an idea, a dream, and a willingness to work can succeed. It is time to end “groupthink” and black racism and celebrate individuality and independence.

For this cause, I say to Al Sharpton, Jeanine Garafolo, and all you other libs, “Let my people go!”

During the presidential campaign, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Barack Obama would be a good candidate because he was “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one”. Since the exposure of his racist comment, Reid has been running around apologizing to every black in America.

The elephant in the living room of the controversy that everyone seems to be ignoring is Reid’s horrific slap in the face of white America. In essence Reid believes, “most white American voters are racists who will not elect a dark-skinned black man”. Reid owes white America an apology and his resignation. This will never happen because democrats and the mainstream media believe it is OK to trash white America. Liberals have been portraying white America, mainly white males, as racist villains who victimize everyone from Christopher Columbus to the current Tea Party patriots.

As a black patriot, I am more offended by Reid’s dis of my white fellow Americans than I am of him insulting me as a black man. White liberals have been insulting and demeaning us blacks for years. It is what they do. Liberals believe blacks cannot be successful in America without lowered standards and their intervention.

Years ago, a white friend’s son came home from middle school in tears over the cruelty of our founding fathers against Native Americans. Today, that kid is a 23 year old America-hating Marxist. Thank you public schools for your liberal America-sucks curriculum.

Liberal actress Jeannine Garafolo called the Tea Party Patriots “tea bagging redneck racists” for their opposition of Obama’s far left radical agenda. I have yet to hear one Democrat or liberal media member rebuke Garafolo’s outrageous comment. The liberal Democrat House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the tea party attendees an angry mob, Astroturf and even threw in the term Nazi for good measure. Again, trashing, insulting and demeaning white America is fair game.

Without hesitation the Democrats trash white America whenever it serves their purpose. When Obama said the white police officer acted stupidly for arresting black professor Gates, for which Obama had to later apologize, the liberal Democrat machine went into action to defend Obama. They launched a media campaign to prove that America’s white cops do profile and abuse blacks.

In the 30 minutes I was on the Stair-Master at the gym, I witnessed two black Democrats on TV saying that Reid simply spoke the truth. Both blacks said they do receive more respect from whites because of their light skin. This is absurd. Oprah Winfrey, a dark skinned black woman is one of the most influential people in the world. America is the home of countless highly influential, powerful and wealthy dark-complected blacks. Rushing light skinned blacks on TV to defend Reid’s false accusation against whites is yet another example of how democrats have no problem trashing white America to save one of their own.

A part of me hates the touchiness of our society. The slightest infraction and everyone is screaming, “Off with their head!” But in the case of Harry Reid, demanding his resignation is truly in order. Every poll confirms the majority of Americans are against Reid’s horrific massive government takeover of our lives disguised as a health care bill. Still, this arrogant evil man has chosen to undermine the will of the people. Reid and company desire to ignore the Constitution and hijack as much of our freedoms, liberty and culture as they can get away with. The passage of government run health care would be a major victory in their quest to transform America.

I would relish a scenario similar to what happened to Al Capone happening to Harry Reid. The government knew Capone was guilty of numerous serious crimes. However, they could not gather enough evidence to convict him. Finally, they were able to send Capone to prison on the lesser crime of income tax evasion.

Reid is guilty of betraying the American people. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party, with help from a sycophant liberal mainstream media, have built a protective wall around Reid. But the exposure of Reid’s racism and contempt for the American people could punch a huge hole in the protective wall which surrounds him. And just like the city of Jericho, hopefully, Reid’s protective wall will come tumbling down.

My wife Mary’s eyes glaze over whenever I mention football. “But honey this is about life not football” I promise her. She graciously listens. Three years ago with only a few minutes left in the game, all Tony Romo, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys had to do was hold the football so his kicker could kick a game tying field goal. Romo fumbled the ball.

After his horrible unbelievable mistake, the young quarterback sat on the bench dejected with his head hung low. John Madden, former pro football coach was one of the announcers on the TV broadcast team. Madden said, “Somebody needs to tell Romo to get his head up. This game is not over and he still has to lead his team”. Wow, I don’t know why, but I found the wise old coach instructing (mentoring) the young man quite moving.

Madden was saying leadership is understanding it is not about you. As the Bible says, “To whom much is given, much is required”. Madden is also saying, OK, Tony Romo, you said you wanted to be the leader of this team; you must do just that, Lead! You do not have the luxury of sulking over your mistakes. True leadership is putting the needs of your team before your needs.

The Obama administration and the media puts his needs before the best interest of the American people. They believe since Obama is the first black president, he is simply too big to fail. Consequently, every event, policy and etc is judged from a “how will this affect Obama’s presidency” point of view rather than what is best for America.

They protect him at all cost against all offenders. Rush Limbaugh was verbally gang flogged for daring to say he hoped Obama’s wacko agenda failed?

Think about this folks. We have a president that everything is about him. Despite it being the best facility to house enemy combatants, Obama has vowed to close Guantanamo Bay prison to appease far left voters. It’s all about what is best for Obama.

Months ago, Obama called the Cambridge cops stupid for arresting Gates. Black professor Gates was wrong. The white decorated arresting officer was right. Still, the Obama administration and liberal media immediately went into “defend Obama mode”. They launched a national champaign on talk shows, print and etc attempting to prove Obama correct; all police are racist profilers who abuse blacks. Can you imagine the lengths Obama and his minions will go to make him look good. Throw national relations between blacks and the police under the bus, no problem. It’s all about Obama.

Most outrageously, along with 9-11 terrorists, the failed underwear bomber will be given the same legal rights as an American citizen, free lawyer and etc. Why? To pander to Obama’s far left America hating radical voters. Trying terrorists in civilian court will give them access to our intelligence and a worldwide platform to spew their anti-American rhetoric, thus putting American lives at risk. No problem because it is not about us, it’s all about Obama. He has to throw his voters who think we deserved 9-11 a big bone.

After three terrorists attacks in the last six months, many predict another attack will put our president in deep trouble with the American people. That might be the truth regarding a normal presidency. But, you just don’t get it. The media will simply circle the wagons around their golden child. Obama’s black skin is the ultimate trump card exempting him of any criticism and objective critique.

Obama-ites in the media and democrats call the millions of Tea Party Patriots who are against Obama’s, “Fundamental restructuring of America” an angry mob of rednecks and racists. Ignoring the presence of highly visible blacks such as myself and others (I wrote the national Tea Party Anthem for crying out loud) lib commentator Chris Matthews boldly proclaimed, “There are no blacks at the tea parties. They’re all white!” Again, trashing whites and straining race relations in America to further Obama’s agenda, no problem. It’s all about Obama.

Obama was caught on video eight times during his campaign promising health care negotiations would be broadcast on C-span. Now in the White House, Obama has rejected C-span’s request to broadcast the health care negotiations. Obama’s lie will only be reported on a few cable networks and the web. The majority of the mainstream media will protect Obama.

Remember, when the story broke about elementary school kids being taught songs praising Obama? The real message in the songs is, “It’s all about Obama…Mm…Mm..Mm!”

I could go on and on giving examples of how the media judges every political event as how it will affect the presidency of their sacred black president with no regard for America’s best interest.

Here is another quick example. After his heart attack scare, Rush Limbaugh said the health care he received was excellent. Rush said the American health care system is the best in the world. The media was outraged and called Rush’s proclamation an attack against Obama. Apparently, praising our health care system is unacceptable and bordering on “hate speech” when it does not line up with Obama’s agenda. Everything is about Obama.

Mr. Obama is the man who occupies the Oval office, but he is not our leader. He has yet to grasp the concept that it is not about him.

By the way, quarterback Tony Romo did get his head up. He has lead his team to numerous victories. Today, Tony Romo is a pro football superstar.

A recent article predicted the Tea Party Movement will fail and fade away because it does not have an official leader promoting a single agenda. I disagree.

After attending a Florida tea party, Rhonda Lochiatto, an elementary school teacher decided to run for school board. In her own words, “I am tired of the mismanagement of funds that goes on in the school district and of the current policies and procedures that are taking place when it comes to grading, etc”.

Rhonda epitomizes what the Tea Party Movement is all about; concerned citizens, true patriots, stepping up to the plate and doing whatever their passions and gifts lead them to do. In my travels across America on Tea Party Express tours one and two, I met many patriots young and old who were running for office for the first time. Seeds planted by the tea parties have harvested a cornucopia of new organizations. Their common goal: Take Back America!

No, we do not have a single person as our grand puba. We are blessed with several great leaders; Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Dick Armey to name only a few.

Any attempt to rein in all Tea Party Patriots under one leader and strategy would be a mistake, not to mention impossible. Unquestionably, the power and force of the tea party phenomena grows daily as more and more Americans awaken from their Obama (he sure is pretty, black and speaks well) trance. They rub their eyes, see the craziness of his agenda and shutter, “Oh my gosh, what have we done!”

The Tea Party Movement is bigger than any one person. Patriots driven by their individual passion and talent are needed on all fronts local and national.

The only thing I would advise against is the formation of a national third party. It would split the conservative/libertarian vote thus insuring democrat victory. Remember the phrase, “Not your dad’s Chevrolet”? Obama, Reid, Pelosi and company have an agenda far different than our parent’s perception of the democrat party. The party has become a haven for far left radicals, socialists, secular progressives and plain old America haters.

While I admit the republicans are guilty of embracing a “liberal lite” agenda to win votes, (which did not work, John McCain case in point) they lean the closest to our values. Not one republican voted for Harry Reid’s Health Care Horror. Frustrated, many of you yell, “There is no freaking difference between either party”. That simply is not true. Thus, our efforts are best served getting the Republican party back on track rather than forming a third party.

I realize the idea of “We The People” starting a third party is romantic, seductive and feels empowering. But it is living on Fantasy Island rather than the real world. Running third party candidate Ross Perot against George Bush Sr. is how Bill Clinton, the long shot, won the election. Perot took votes from Bush, not Clinton. Attempting to form a third party again would be like a movie sequel, “Ross Perot Two: This Time its Devastating”.

Now, while I am against forming a national third party, running third party candidate Doug Hoffman in New York was a good thing. The republicans betrayed us by selecting and heavily funding ($900,000) far left candidate, Dede Scozzafava for New York’s 23rd congressional district. We Tea Party Patriots around the country just said, “No!” We rallied around Hoffman sending national support and funds for the local race. Despite both parties ganging up on Hoffman, (outrageously Scozzafava, the republican, dropped out and endorsed the democrat) our Conservative third party candidate nearly won. Hoffman’s near victory sent a powerful message to both parties. They now realize we are a force with which to be reckoned. There’s a new sheriff in town whose name is the Tea Party Movement.

I would be extremely leery of any self appointed leader of the Tea Party Movement. If we are to have a leader, his or her emergence will happen spontaneously via the people.

With great optimism and anticipation, I enter 2010. This is the year politicians who have ignored our voices and betrayed their duty to uphold the Constitution will experience the shock and awe of our wrath at the polls in November.

As to the theory the Tea Party Movement needs a leader; like the line in the Mel Brooks movie, Blazing Saddles, “Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges”, I say, “Leader? We don’t need no stinking leader!” We the people are doing just fine.

In defense of Bill Clinton, their democrat president, the liberal media campaigned to convince Americans that character does not matter. In the midst of the Clinton scandals, I was shocked to hear even a minister say Clinton’s affairs were a personal matter and did not affect his presidency. The media spin worked.

An extraordinary man was featured on the Glenn Beck TV program, Jon Huntsman, founder of the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Asked by Beck to share, Huntsman told a tale of amazing integrity. In the 80s, Huntsman sold his business for 54 million dollars. The buyer’s lawyers were slow. In the 6 months it took them to finalize the contract, Huntsman’s business grew in value 5 times their original deal. The buyer was willing to pay more. Huntsman said he would stick to their original deal because he had given his word and shook the buyer’s hand. Huntsman’s character and integrity is a striking contrast to the caliber of men and women we have running our country.

Huntsman shared a quote from Winston Churchill, “With integrity, nothing else counts. Without integrity, nothing else counts.” I could not agree more. The kind of people we put in office is extremely important.

With Harry Reid and the democrats circumventing the will of the American people to pass their unprecedented massive government takeover of our lives disguised as a Health Care bill, Churchill’s words could not ring more true. Integrity equals Character. And these evil people have none.

How did these scoundrels get elected? It has been said, “the people get the government they deserve”. Do we deserve these socialists who are committed to changing America into an abomination of our Constitution, hijacking our freedom, liberty and culture; bankrupting the futures of our children and grandchildren? Is this the change many voted for? Did we bring Harry Reid’s Horror on ourselves? I think not.

Sadly, socialism is what some voters wanted. These pathetic entitlement minded knucklehead losers are still waiting for Obama to pay their rent, buy them a car and provide the gas. But the majority of Obama voters were conned, sold a lie, a moderate candidate. Funny how that “C” word (Character) always comes back to haunt. If a president is a narcissistic liar, it does not matter what he says.

Despite catastrophically high unemployment numbers, our character deficient president looks into the TV camera and boldly proclaims all is well. His blatant lies include the health care bill is deficit neutral, no government funded abortions and no health care for illegals. Obama’s character is so flawed you can almost always assume the truth is the opposite of whatever comes out of him mouth. It is horrific to have such a man as leader of the free world. A devastating experience taught me years ago character always matters.

The Old Man and The Lincoln.

My wife and I sold our home in Maryland to pursue a career opportunity in Florida. One of our two vehicles was an old Lincoln with a nightmarish oil leak. After hiring and firing numerous mechanics and spending $1500, the leak continued. We decided to dump the car before leaving for Florida.

An old white gentleman, probably in his 80s, answered our ad. Time grew short and we were desperate to sell the car. I did not want anything to blow the deal. Being an interracial couple, I thought it best Mary, my beautiful blonde wife, show the car to the gentleman alone. I read men like women wearing bright colors. So, I suggested Mary wear her red dress.

Mary met the old man in a restaurant while I waited in our second car. The Lincoln and Mary were a hit. The old man asked Mary to follow him home to finalize the deal. I followed.

As we approach his home, this was before cell phones, I attempted to telepathically tell Mary do not park in his driveway for he would surely notice the oil leak. She parked in his driveway.

Mary stayed in the old man’s home for what felt like forever. Because of his frail frame and slow deliberate movements, I had no fear for her safety.

Finally, Mary came out and hopped in the car. “I got it”, she exclaimed! “$3000, cash!” Elated, we gave each other a high five. At last the thorn in our side was gone.

As we drove home, Mary explain why it took so long to finalize the deal. The old man was obviously lonely. He liked Mary and shared family albums and stories with her. His wife of many years was in a nursing home. He visited the love of his life every day. Shamefully, I tried to justify our sin. “He is old. He won’t drive much. The oil leak is no big deal for him.”

Upon entering our front door, the phone was ringing. It was the old man. “Mr. Marcus, can I get my money back? That car is leaking oil something fierce.”

Suddenly, I was overcome with shame, sadness and embarrassment. Mary felt the same conviction. When the pressures of life squeezes you, what comes out reveals who you really are. I was devastated by what came out of me. I was so consumed with my needs I sacrificed my integrity. Just as Judas betrayal Christ and sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver, I sold my character for a measly $3000.

My replied to the old man was, “Yes sir, of course we will return your money.” Circumstances prevented us from returning his money until after the weekend. Meanwhile, I could not look at that money without weeping.

When we returned his money, the old gentleman thanked and praised us for being good honorable people. However, I knew we should have been honest and upfront with him from the beginning.

As Churchill said, “With integrity, nothing else counts. Without integrity, nothing else counts.”

Our country is under siege by evil characterless politicians. Yes, I boldly use the “e” word because I believe it to be accurate. Their power grabbing socialistic agenda is an anathema to our Constitution and everything which has made America great.

As Reid and company celebrate their under the cloche of darkness 1am victory vote, they under estimate the power of right and the will of we the people. Our integrity and love for our country will not allow this evil to prevail. 2010 is coming and there will be heck to pay!

It is New Years Day. I just returned home from a great workout at the gym. Squats, leg press and 30 minutes on the Stair Master. Last year at this time, I was losing weight despite eating like a horse. Diagnosis, Diabetes.

I have learned my blood sugar numbers are better when I reduce calories and exercise. Despite this knowledge, I have been lazy and not exercising. I had a revelation today. “You can exercise for an hour 3 or 4 times a week or you could probably have to attend kidney dialysis 4 or 5 times a week for 4 hours.”

Tea Party Express III tour begins March 27^th. I MUST be in good shape and ready to go for my country. Happy New Year!
