Yes, she is often on top.
I’m 74, and we all need to remember that:
Age and Treachery will beat
Youth and Exuberance every time!
Have a good weekend.
Thank you.
Haha. Now you're the boss of what this thread needs. I finally get it. You don't like the Q threads cause you don't get the respect you deserve.
Hey, how bout this. What if I appointed you official Q hall monitor. You could totally have a maroon blazer with a big Q on the lapel, a flashlight, a whistle, and a clipboard.
I will give instructions that people are to "respect your authoratai."
How does that grab ya?
I will propose it to the board. Please have a seat in the hall pending our decision.
Red October is a movie about Russian’s defecting to USA, but initially, the USA and Russians disguised that so that it looked like they were firing on each other.
Iron Eagle is a movie about a Son rescuing his father from enemy, because government wouldn’t do it, IIRC.
[] I thought this was Kill Box maybe, but it works for killing the money supply too.
There’s a lot of truth in what you said. Otoh, people do get older without getting wiser. Look at Bill and Hillary, for an example. (Though when people *do* live and learn, a powerful dynamic is at work. I wouldn’t want to try to put anything over on you any more than I’d want to try the same with Trump. I’m just not that fond of exploding cigars.)
On the other end of this equation are the smart, well educated, tech savvy younger types. I read their comments every day on The_Donald. Q doesn’t even have a handful of believers over there. They’ve seen through all his gimmicks and they have no time for John Edward style cold reading-mumbo jumbo. They kicked Q to the curb with extreme prejudice back in the second week of Nov.
There’s hope for this Republic yet.
I agree with much of what you say, but might argue that Bill and Hillary ARE reasonably wise.
America’s problem is, they are reasonably wide totally immoral crooks.
Spell checker problem
They are both Wise.... and Wide
Keep in mind, there’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye.You and I are just two Freepers having a conversation.
But the there are posters here whose real purpose is a deliberate assault on FreeRepublic. They often work in teams of three or so. Some are paid by political organisations, and are fairly bright. But you can possibly hinder their agenda by knowing some of their many weaknesses.
They are only bright enough to provide an opportunity for their overseers to exploit them.
They’re not bright enough to understand that the measure of true intelligence is categorically distinct from traits like ability to deceive or manipulate.
And they’re not bright enough to see that their supervisors’ authority is only the result of dumb luck, not from any special ability. In fact, this vein of dumb luck goes all the way up the organisation to the top of the pyramid.
One last thing. It’s not only dumb luck, it’s bad.
From Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Definition of savior1 : one that saves from danger or destruction
2 : one who brings salvation; specifically, capitalized : Jesus
Your definition is not even the FIRST definition. . . It’s the first definition in numerous dictionaries, and I checked, Fantasywriter.
From the Bible Dictionary
Saviourone who saves from any form or degree of evil (Emphasis mine— Swordmaker). In its highest sense the word indicates the relation sustained by our Lord to his redeemed ones, he is their Saviour. The great message of the gospel is about salvation and the Saviour. It is the "gospel of salvation." Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ secures to the sinner a personal interest in the work of redemption. Salvation is redemption made effectual to the individual by the power of the Holy Spirit.
So your position is not supportable.
You have apoint. The Clinton duo is very canny. Somehow, by some strange suspension of the law of averages, just about everyone who could hurt them legally commits suicide or suffers a timely accident or health crisis. If ever a pair of felons evaded justice more deftly, I don’t know about it.
But wisdom goes deeper than mere canniness. Wisdom takes into account both this life and the next. The time will come when street smarts and ill gotten gains won’t be sufficient for Bill and Hillary. It’s then that the lack of deep, genuine wisdom will be felt most keenly.
I posted so many comments on this. I don’t believe any Qer read even a fraction of them. Certainly no one ever addressed my central/most important point. A, neither does your post, and B, I’m unwilling to attempt the discussion all over again. Why would anyone want to read and understand my POV now, when no one wanted to do so the first go round?

One CAN understand VERY well and still DISAGREE.
Then state my main point, please, fully and accurately.
No. Done playing your games.
You have no earthly idea what my main point was.
I proved otherwise in repeated posts. I even noted I mostly agreed with you. Evidently YOU paid no attention.
Oh no you di-unt!!!!!
Hahaha.
Keep this up, stracy and I might start liking you. :)
‘I proved otherwise in repeated posts.’
You absolutely did not. Neither you nor any of the other Q-believers ever came close to proving that you understood my point. If you had, you could restate it now at a negligible cost of time and effort.
