Dear FReepers,

We need your help to keep this FReepathon moving. Now into the second month of the fundraiser and we're catching up, but still lagging behind the pace. Hopefully it'll keep going strong so we can complete it in the next few weeks.

Free Republic stands for God and Country!! We defend Life, Family, Constitution, Liberty!! And we defend our God-given, constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms!! TO THE HILT!!

FR is funded solely by contributions made by like-minded liberty loving people who enjoy and use it.

We are beholden to no political party. No outsiders, no sugar daddies, no advertisers, no corporate string pullers. No government grants and no tax subsidies. Just you and me, baby and we need each other.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the defense of liberty.

But we cannot do it without your support.

If you have not yet made your donation this quarter, today would be an excellent day to do so.

Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the leading INDEPENDENT, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-gun, grassroots conservative forum on the Net!!

And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists, fascists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given Liberty!!

Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. --Ronald Reagan

NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Never surrender!! Never retreat!! Never give up your guns!!

And Gene Eric sends in $100 and will match another $100 if some one answers his challenge before the end of day Wednesday!! Thank you very much, Gene Eric!!

Thank you all very much!!

Your loyal support is greatly appreciated!!

God bless you and God bless America!!

"The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission.

We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die."

Cajun would know better than any of us. I just hope it’s not expensive. Lord, have mercy.

[RedMDer]

I hope its that simple. We’ll see tomorrow. I did hear a slight spinning type of sound when I last tried to start it and it died. Then, nothing, not a thing at all. Really most sincerely dead.

If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it. "

As much electrical power as the new stuff draws, the battery won't last long with the alternator out or a broken belt going to it, especially if using headlights.
The little red warning light doesn't always warn you to boot, hate the little red warning lights, like gauges.

"When I went home to my family in May, 1770, from the town meeting in Boston, which was the first I had ever attended, and where I had been chosen in my absence, without any solicitation, one of their representatives, I said to my wife, "I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning, that you may prepare your mind for your fate."

She burst into tears, but instantly cried out in a transport of magnanimity, "Well, I am willing in this cause to run all risks with you, and be ruined with you, if you are ruined."

These were times, my friend, in Boston, which tried women's souls as well as men's. "

"The origin of all civil government, justly established, must be a voluntary compact, between the rulers and the ruled; and must be liable to such limitations, as are necessary for the security of the absolute rights of the latter; for what original title can any man or set of men have, to govern others, except their own consent?

To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at a more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man a right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience. "

Dang!!
That's a new truck compared to what I drive, LOL.
Only had the starter go out on the old 1998 Dodge Ram, desperately looking for wood to knock on now.

"Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men.

A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States."

"As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do we mean by the Revolution? The war?

That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it.

The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760–1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington. "

"It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."

~Alexander Hamilton
