Show your support for the Blue Star Deli

July 13th, 2007 . by TexasFred

EDIT: Original post has been removed, this is the latest, and LAST post I will ever make concerning that ingrate Dave Mooney at the former Blue Star Deli.

Well, we got kicked in the teeth on this one.

Dave lost his business and then sent out a really NASTY email to all of us saying it was OUR fault for not supporting him MORE.

Well Dave, that’s the way the ball bounces, we can’t ALL come and eat there 3 meals a day.

Life goes on.

And Dave, you’re welcome.

    I wish I could show up and help support this man and his business, but I’m in Tennessee. Sorry. I will mention the situation at Right Truth and I will send out an email to the Coalition Against Illegal Immigration, I think we have some members in Texas.

    If TexasFred says this guy needs help, then he needs help.

    I will put a check in the mail tomorrow.

    Sure glad to know you’re on my side, Fred.

    Well done.

    Update: My wife says we’ll put a check in the mail tonight, well excuse me.

    Thanks so much, Fred, for helping spread the word about Blue Star Deli…it’s refreshing to see folks step up to help. That’s damn sure the American way!

    I’d happily stop in for a meal, but that’s a long drive from Okinawa. Hope it goes well!

    If ya can’t be there, send Dave a donation, and let him know where you heard of his problems… :)

    A $10 donation from all the bloggers we know would be 3 or 4 grand, and that would help the guy tremendously…

    You got a spot on my blog. This is a battle on the home front that needs support. Take a peak at my spin on the issue and start supporting more people who have taken a hit on the front lines of illegal immigration.
    I would be honored to recognize any business who has been wounded in this battle. Leave me a comment and a link.

    Crap! This is one of the few Mondays when I have to work. I may have to figure something out.

  19. comment number 19 by: RTaylor

    Wish we could be there personally – but will be there in spirit! I’ll make the post on my site and any updates!

  20. comment number 20 by: Bloviating Zeppelin

    Tejas Fred: I already wrote my check for $100 specifically to Dave Mooney, putting my CASH where my MOUTH has been for these three years. If I can’t support this one guy from Texas then I can’t do anything.

    First: running a business is TOUGH in ANY state because of state and federal TAXES and RESTRICTIONS. He has my RESPECT simply because of that.

    Second: because of his jackpot, he deserves my support from afar. If I can’t attend and patronize his business, then I guess I need to make up for my lack of presence.

  24. comment number 24 by: J.D. Long

    Okay Fred — I’ve posted this on my own blog, and done a companion post at a message board that has some folks who live in the Dallas/Sherman/North Texas area. Plus my son and I are driving to Chicago the 2nd week in August. We will be stopping at the Blue Star Deli for luch (and taking out for dinner) from Blue Star Deli — both on the away trip and the return trip.

    And leaving a big honkin’ Tip, too.

    Drop by my website — I’ve linked to a map. The Deli is just off I-35E, not much of a side-trip at all.

    The word is spreading. It’s great you are going to be on the radio show Monday morning, Fred.

    I’ve gotta do some routine business tommorrow, pay some bills and stuff. I’ll be dropping a check in the mail tommorrow when I go to the post office bro.

    My humble submission.

    No more Sundays? Well, that messed my idea of taking the short person over there for lunch before we head north. :(

  30. comment number 30 by: Jenn

    I’ve got a client in Farmers Branch, says the place is over run with Illegals. They’ll win. And that makes me sick. One more American “killed” by illegals.

  32. comment number 32 by: Peg

    What a great demonstration of bloggers kicking some Texas sized butt! I hope the message got through to a few of the locals that the Blue Star Deli won’t be going down without a fight and a little help from their friends! This is exactly the kind of stuff that makes my brain sizzle!!

  33. comment number 33 by: Gary

    I just had lunch at the BSD. The turkey club was excellent. I know the owner Dave from his previous job and we had a chance to catch up on things. He’s incredible, as he can smile through the worst of times – he always has and always will. It’s a pleasure to know some one like him, who’s as nice as they come. He told me that he is so very thankful for all the help he’s received since last Thursday and hopes it will continue. He’s very grateful for all of your support.

    Stop in, sit down for a spell and get filled up. You’ll be glad you did.

    We can buy “Deli Certificates” and cash in by stoping in later.

    I could buy $100.00 worth .
    $20.00 each,,,,and be good to my “Rebel” ” Redneck” “Johnny Paycheck Country loving Friends” ,,,,,,,and give them away.

    Now “Lets Get er Done” Fun Songs on cd $10.00 in usa
