WELCOME TO THE SHRINE OF FLAMING CAPITALISM!!!!!
I opened the Temple of Mut in 2008, wishing to focus on stories related to ancient Egyptian history, culture, and archeology. When the financial crisis in September of that year arose, I began getting politically active. I wrote my California representatives and warned them: Legislate in haste, repent at leisure. Sure enough, they ignored me. Also, I was involved with the PUMA (Party Unity My A$$) movement, as I am a Democrat who could see what a narcissistic race-baiter Barak Obama was. In fact, I am and remain a:
Therefore, the Shrine went silent in deepest grief when he was elected, and all that I had foreseen has come to pass (in terms of Obama’s inept leadership style and toxic policy goals). Then there was the Stimulus Package, followed by the 2009 California budget with history-making tax increases, followed by a mortgage-relief program that punished the responsible and rewarded the irresponsible. I was home with a cold, surfing the net, one February afternoon. I began to follow the developments after viewing Rick Santelli’s historic rant:
I just had to go to a Tea Party. And, I did. Subsequently, I became the Media Coordinator for the San Diego Tea Party group – Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition. I also reopened the Temple of Mut as the “Shrine of Flaming Capitalism”. Now, to paraphrase the luminous Ann Althouse: I am an amateur Egyptologist who occasionally writes about ancient Egypt.
My other SoCal Tax Revolt Coalition co-founders are Sarah Bond and Dawn Wildman. They say that George Washington was the sword of the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson its Pen, and Patrick Henry its voice. I would like you to meet the Voice, Sword and Pen of the Tea Party Revolution (from left to right): Sarah Bond, Dawn Wildman, and yours truly — Leslie Eastman.
Over the past few years, it has been my pleasure to work with a few like-minded bloggers. We have assembled the San-Diego Local Order of Bloggers (SLOBs). It has been referred to as the “PJ Media of San Diego”.
Citizen activism is a hobby, as well as ancient Egypt. My profit-center activity utilizes by scientific background: I have degrees in geology, chemistry and biochemistry. I am an environmental health and safety specialist who works with companies to ensure compliance with the complex regulations related to chemical and biological materials handling. I know what a good-faith effort my clients put into their programs, so I am both offended and motivated by eco-activists who smear all business enterprises as polluters. You will find a lot of my activism centers around rescinding regulations that were developed based on poor science and crony connections.
I also have a media background. I am a recovering journalist and sometimes freelance science-writer. I also have had the opportunity to opine on several television and radio news shows.
My son, the Young Prince, inspires a lot of my efforts. I want to ensure he has the best opportunity to utilize his many talents, be rewarded for his efforts, and give back to the community. He is thrilled that my Tea Party efforts have pushed-back against SOPA and PIPPA (yes, he knew what those were and why they are bad). He and his friends now question openly the concepts of man-made Global Warming. His biggest hero, after his dad, is George Washington:
You will find me often mentioning my husband, who I named Horemheb for the purposes of this blog. His hard work and patience supports the efforts of the Shrine.
- If you would like to email me, here is the address to use: mutnodjmetlpe at gmail.com.
- I am a Catholic who opines about religion at Flight into Egypt.
- For more about my site’s concept: Welcome to the Temple of Mut.
- About the 18th Dynasty Egyptian Queen, from whom I take my iconic internet identity. Who was Mutnodjmet?
- Please read my “Comment Policy”: I delete trolls, oafs, and grammar-nazis. If you think you can do better than me — great! Get your own blog.
Thanks for entering the Shrine. I hope you will return.
Hi, I just found the site here and love everything. I plan on usind your Tax and Trade Senator hit-list. Also, could you take a peek and support my blog too? I am a San Diegan as well.
I would be delighted to do so!
Just a line to let you know our new website is online. I also have a digital photo of you with a raised fist taken on Saturday after I took the photos with your camera.

Hello, my name is Mack Hayes.
I have been very inspired by the courage of everyone in the current movement to stand up for America. Firm, bold, aggressive, and peaceful dissent has always been the hallmark of this country. I would like to offer my video on YouTube as a salute to them and to all of our Military Veterans for whom we owe a debt that can never be fully paid.
If you enjoy the video, please watch the credits at the end for a tribute to two special people and pass it on to as many people as possible.
Thank you,
Mack Hayes

Favorited. (is that a word?)
Love Ancient Egyptian history – glad you can keep my overview knowledge on a higher plane; love the fierce individuals that are Tea Party people and love this website.
PS – All the time the gum-chewing Prez was inside the great pyramid at Giza, I was worried he would leave his gum in the middle of some hieroglyph!
LOL! Welcome samhenry! I am glad you enjoy my second hobby (as the Tea Party seems to have turned into my first!)
You Guy are AWESOME
Mut – tell me – can you give me the who, what, where, when of how this racism tag got pinned to the Tea Party movement?

Hi, nice to meet you !

[…] About […]
Conservative Network News (CNNews) will be launched within the next two months. The goal of CNNews is to provide a bottom-up organization of committed conservatives wishing to provide a solid response to the top-down liberal Huffington Post and other elite media forums. This initial invitation is going out to political activists who wish to be volunteer journalists for CNNews. This invitation to become a founding member is limited, roughly, to the number of 2012 electoral college votes from each state; for example, Florida has 29 electoral votes and will have 29 memberships alloted in this invitation. To join, simply send an email to CNNews.US@gmail.com with your name and the name of the State in which you reside. You will then be automatically registered as a journalist at CNNews; and, you will be allowed to post articles.
If you know of any other committed conservatives who may be interested in joining CNNews, please forward this email to them.
There is no financial obligation. We simply ask that you become and remain involved on a part time basis. One purpose of CNNews will be to evaluate and rate politicians based upon criteria established by members like you. In time, 90% ownership in CNNews will be allocated to committed members. Provisions will be made for press credentials. Decisions will be made based upon member consensus.
The 2012 election cycle has begun and many of the tea party sites created during the 2010 election cycle are no longer active. To help facilitate Tea Party organization, without the need for the cost and time of separate web sites, you can link to a separate blog for each tea party organization.
If you have any questions, please send an email to CNNews.US@gmail.com. Once again, if you wish to take advantage of this invitation, please send an email with your name, email address, and the State of your residence. Also, please forward this email to any politically aware friend who may be interested in joining.
