RE 104:
Probably not a bad idea.
On the Howie CARR show Thursday(?) Mr. Pasquale related as to how he had already recieved several lucrative offers for the sign when he is done with it, as it seems to have become a "collectable" of some potential historical significance.
So not only is it "offensive" to the libs, but it might be worth a fair amount of money to someone.
That would make it's survival of this Convention, especially given it's location, somewhat questionable if not heavily guarded 24/7. And I rather doubt that the Mayor or the Chief of Police would mind very much if "something happened to it" some night.
Soon.
By the way, is all this angst about the Uncle Sam birdie really a legitimate moral debate, or a stink-bomb/smoke screen being put up by a few DU trolls who would rather this thread devolve into a flame-a-thon and degenerate to the point where admins have to take it down, as it is embarrassing to said troll's true cause?
Have we seen this strategy employed before? I think we have.
Don't take it personal now, kids; just wondering.
You've been around since '99 and call Tallhappy a DU troll? Get a life.
The problem with this forum is that over the years it has degenerated into one big Chat room. These hausfraus are more concerned about Uncle Sam's graphic, than the actual issue at hand; they would lose a war while arguing over whether helmets or berets go better with combat uniforms.
I particularly love the one crying that we should "stand up" to people who post such graphics, but has yet to make one single comment on the serious topic at hand.
I was on the streets in South Florida during the recount wars, and I can tell you that I saw more than one FReeper flip a bird at the lefties across the barricades.
I am proud to be considered their friend.
Seeing as I have been here as long, or longer than you have, I am no newbie nor am I a troll. I am just a monthly supporter who would prefer we kept the forum reasonably clean.
I am in total agreement with Mr. Pasquale and am sorry to see the thread go off on the hand gesture. However, those of us with certain moral standards feel compelled to defend them, even as we feel compelled to defend conservatism, Bush, mom and apple pie.
