I’m getting ready to set up my bird feeders. I planted a crabapple just for the birds...and I suspect to do some other planting for my wild friends...
“What’s the difference between doing it at home and doing it in public, except that everyone can see what a fool you’re making of yourself?”
How about... the purpose behind it? Ever seen “Some Like It Hot,” or is that too perverted for you?
Sheesh.
“I googled that phrase and found 169 references but they seemed to assume I already knew what it meant. Would you mind enlightening me and anybody else who was too young for Vietnam?”
I was too young for Vietnam too, I served 82nd ABN 2/508 PIR, 80-84. It’s just a generic payback type statement. Sometimes more serious than others. The eighty-deuce was and is a rough unit of guys willing to jump out of airplanes. Some were pretty crazy. But good crazy. I pray for my old unit and everybody else serving now every night.
Wouldn’t minding your own business suffice? No, I guess not. Glad to know that you are so familiar with what I do, or don’t do, with my time. Feel free to waste more "verbiage" on me if it makes you feel better--that's what I'm here for. Have a lovely day now.
“So, Mo1, where’s the evidence? I’ve never seen any thread on that.”
I’m guessing by all the pings that include Jim .. I am next on your target list??
but if you insist ... here is one thread that mentions 3 former directors with concerns about Gilchrist and the money raised
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1804668/posts
(snip)
Three Minuteman directors voted in January to oust Gilchrist and two other directors, citing concerns over accounting and possible fundraising improprieties.
But Gilchrist says he is the sole member of the board of directors – he has a corporate filing from September that says so – and that the others are part of an advisory board with no decision-making power and no authority to remove him.
The three directors being sued by Gilchrist said they tried unsuccessfully to get him to address concerns in December, and after his removal still tried to make the peace with him.
EV, nobody on FR deserves that pic.....shudder....
“For the record, the original troll attacker was, unsurprisingly, fact-challenged.”
I figured that, but I was amused by the idea that he thought that was some big time attack.
As such a solid defender of FR and it’s founder you are under some serious attack, and the subject of a lot of conversation on the anti-freeper sites.
I love this time of year, except that I either have to do my deck (powerwash,stain, seal) or pay to have it done, and I need a new grill ........I really have to get busy, I love this time of year...
>>For the record, the original troll attacker was, unsurprisingly, fact-challenged.<<
Since that chatter has been going on for a couple of years and its annoying chatter that mainly has the effect of reducing discussion about Ambassador Keyes, I’m glad you adressed the facts.
My point was that you shouldn’t have to. Its good for Freep to have members who are active in conservative politics and they are entitled to the same privacy as the rest of us.
Disclaimer: I do not support Keyes for President - I see him more as a Bolton style troubleshooter for a future President.
I put in a raised bed garden, now I’m getting ready to attack the dandelions...
Thanks for the explanation.
I feel for the guys over there. DD Hunter made the point that it was his mom who have the hardest time with him going back for a third tour - its really the families too, not just the troops who need to feel the country supports them in the difficult, dangerous job of protecting a fledging democracy.
Then take it off open forum.
I've fought bullies most of my life and I recognize them when I see them. You and a handful of others have become what you claim to despise...bullies, only you wear a different coat than the liberals.
FR has replaced one set of bullies for another.
The king is dead, long live the king!
Don’t sound so guilty. Just because the hat fits, doesn’t mean you have to put it on.
freepmail...more about winograd...
>>EV, nobody on FR deserves that pic.....shudder....<<
Oh great... I’m catching up reading the latest posts back and now I’m afraid to scroll up... :)
Mo1 supports Duncan Hunter for President. NautiNurse was a big Katherine Harris booster.
Hardly liberal or RINO-istic tendencies.
I for one am not mourning the loss of posters who made a habit of belittling and insulting the Christian conservative values this site is supposed to represent.
But I'd hate to make this place uncomfortable for good, solid folks ... just because their pragmatic streak is a little wider than mine or we disagree on an issue or two.
And so far, I have no reason to think that management here desires to cross that line either.
LOL....At least it wasn’t Helen Thomas...
I’ve been asking LL and getting no response. I cc’d you out of courtesy.
“its really the families too, not just the troops who need to feel the country supports them in the difficult, dangerous job of protecting a fledging democracy.”
Absolutely. If a military person gets killed or wounded seriously - that family lives with that for a lifetime. We have to make sure that these wounded guys aren’t forgotten about and that our government attends to them carefully. They give so much during this WOT.
