Merry Christmas to FReeQs and FReepers Everwhere!
I'm happy to celebrate Christmas with you again this year. Your kindness, patriotism and thoughtfulness are gifts I treasure. I can't imagine how I would have faced what we have seen these past 5 years without a Free Republic Q thread to call home.
May God bless Jim Robinson and family for keeping the website online while the FBI/CIA/Homeland Security/Clintons/Obamas etc. all tried to destroy the means by which Americans share information.
Most Lavish/Undeserved Gift I Ever Received: The Birth/Death/Resurrection of Christ. Oh how I love Him!
Favorite Christmas Ornament: From the first time I held it in my hand I was sent into a reverie wherein I imagined a breeze carrying the scent of desert sand and spices, the mystery of the star and the kind of bold men who would follow it. Even writing that gives me the same sense of wonderment - it never grows old.
Worst Christmas Gift Ever Received: It's a tie between either white adult-sized nurse shoes (I was 11 yrs old) or a dirt brown polyester dress-length (sleeves to knees) men's jacket (I was 12 yrs old). A relative found these on sale for such a great price that I and all my parents/siblings/cousins received these items. We were asked to display them every time he visited, and tell him how much we enjoyed them, again. So we had to KEEP them. He was impressed by how well we 'took care of them' because they always looked new.
Most (Quietly) Coveted Christmas Gift: An Easy Bake Oven. I was not the least bit domestic when young and would rather climb trees and play with animals. But the Easy Bake seemed so high-tech at the time.....and I like technology. So you can understand how happy I was when a FReeQ posted a picture of one to me!
Most Unanticipated Gifts (2017):
A) The news that for some long, undefined period of time, patriots in the military have been 'keeping the flame' of freedom alive. They weathered treasonous presidencies and planned the battle for Good to triumph over Evil. Many did so in addition to their dedication in serving on the battlefield. How many sacrificed, and are now sacrificing, to win the days we're in? How many never lived to see their movement deploy the strategy of red-pilling the public? I am humbled by their faith, loyalty, sacrifice and service.
Without them, many of us would not realize that we're on a battlefield of a worldwide information war crafted to tame us into dociley trudging into slavery. We outnumber our enemies; they depend upon the trust/will of the people to empower them.
For those who cannot perceive the strategic importance of the information war we fight, all seems lost as they await slaughter.
It's so much more invigorating to FIGHT the information war with prayer, memes, digs and faith. Now on the nightly news, the flailing of the deep state becomes more desperate and increasingly bizarre, which is directly red-pilling many of the hard-to-reach.
Nothing patriots could ever say to Americans can match the impact of directly witnessing and/or experiencing the abuses of the evil we face. It had to be this way.
B) I am humbled by Donald J. Trump's faith, loyalty and service.
In 2016, the treasonous MSM convinced me we had elected another selfish, evil buffoon as President. Yet he has poured out his loyal service to our country, and sacrificed his life on pleasure for one of constant threats (assassination, sabotage, betrayal). He gives of himself faithfully while encouraging us, restoring us after we've been subjected to decades of psychological warfare.I look forward to starting the New Year to the sound of the crazed shrieking of our enemies, on both sides of the aisle, as the 'sleeping giant' stirs awake, demands answers, and continues to force them from their pedestals.
May God bless all patriots and continue to fight for us, and lead us to serve to the best of our ability in the battle of Good against Evil. Watch over us, Lord, and grant healing and hope to all who need it. Father in Heaven, shield our military and their CinC from the weapons fashioned against them and grant us crushing victory over those who seek to enslave and kill us.
ThankQ, Dear FReeQs and FReepers!
