Personally, I want to start a collection of jackboots... taken from JBTs who make the mistake of coming after someone who knows what they are doing... Remember the comments made regarding the Waco Barbecue in Unintended Consequences?
"FR" IS the "Liberty Tree;" WE are the "1/3" who "Made a Difference" when "Revolution" was the ONLY OPTION for AMERICA!!
WE, (& others of "Like Mind"), ARE the "Intellectual Core" of ANY future American Revolution!
We are NOT, "Divided in Thirds;" WE are the "Intellectual & Moral Basis" for the Future Evolution of our Nation!!
{I say this HUMBLY Aware of my own Prejudices}; Yet I have Come to Believe that HERE is where our Forefathers would be debating our Future--& HERE speak the Patriots who will Direct the Future course of our Blessed Nation!
In Recorded Human History, NO NATION such as Ours has EVER Existed!
The Good People on FR seem to grasp the Principles & Worth of our Nation better than ANYONE ELSE!
HERE ARE the "Precious 1/3" who understand & are willing to sacrifice their "Lives & Precious Honor" for the sake of the "Concept" of a Nation!
We should NOT "Lightly Dismiss" the POWERFUL BELIEF of the FReepers in the Principles of our Constitution!
The FReepers ARE NOT "Divided into Thirds" about our Freedoms; WE ARE the 1/3 who BELIEVE!!
WE are the "Ones" the Tyrants FEAR!!
WE are the "Ones" who fought--& WILL FIGHT--the "Revolution!!"
We are the "Ones" who write--& read--the "Notes" on the "Liberty Tree!!"
WE are the "Ones" the Tyrants FEAR!

The "No True Scotsman..." Fallacy
Suppose I assert that no Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge. You counter this by pointing out that your friend Angus likes sugar with his porridge. I then say "Ah, yes, but no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.This is an example of an Ad Hoc change being used to shore up an assertion, combined with an attempt to shift the meaning of the words used in the original assertion; you might call it a combination of fallacies.
and Damned proud of it Sir
Or, have we failed Free Republic?
What do you know about true conservatism? You are nothing more than a big government liberal with a slightly modified agenda. They want to outlaw the Second Amendment, you want to outlaw the First. They force multiculturalism and diversity down our throats, you want to force your thin definition of "morality" based on your personal interpretation of the Bible. They believe in throwing away the fourth amendment to combat hate crimes and insensitivty, you would toss the constitution to protect people from themselves under the scourge of drugs. You both believe in compulsory social conformity by force of government mandate.
I, a constitutional conservative, have no more tolerance for your "Praise Jeesus Or Burn In Hell!" sanctimonious ilk than I do for a tree-hugging, homo-loving lefty. You are all cut from the same "Let The Government Control Our Lives" statist cloth.
This forum is called Free Republic. You seem to be unable to grasp what that word means.
Slavery was also ok then. Oh...maybe you liked the way life was back then, eh?
Michael: Are you saying that no one in New York will work with me?
George: No, no, that's too limited. No one in Hollywood wants to work with you either. I can't even send you up for a commercial. You played a tomato and they still went a half day over schedule because you wouldn't sit down!
Michael: Of course not, it wasn't logical.
George: YOU WERE A TOMATO! A tomato doesn't have logic! A tomato can't move!
Michael: That's what I said, George! If he can't move, how's he gonna sit down? I was a stand-up tomato, George; a juicy, sexy, beefsteak tomato! Nobody does vegetables like me! I did a whole evening of vegetables off-Broadway! I did the best tomato, the best cucumber...I did an endive salad that knocked the critics on their ass!
TRUST ME, that's a winning strategy. I'm not telling you what I've heard. I'm telling you what I know. Thanks for pointing this out.
Perhaps I am not on Islam threads daily, but you can be sure I am a "JESUS FREAK" and proud of it.
You can be what ever other kind of "freak" you want to be, but I can assure you, the top slot has already been taken.

Most of us got here by Accident, more than by Intent; those of us who stay harbor a GREAT LOVE for our Nation (often, we learn the "Whys & Wherefores" of this Love HERE--at "FR!")!
No Single Act in MY life has been as Important as Learning WHY the Nation I was so Fortunate to have been "Raised In" is SO special; & FR is where I Learned that!
I NOW know the true value of the Debt I owe our Forefathers!
We owe our Future Generations the Freedom we enjoy, & the Understanding of our Freedoms' origins & the Cost & Value of our Freedoms!
