A) Mother Teresa
B) Adolf Hitler
Most would agree the answer is B. Then again, I could post your picture, since you claim to have been called a Nazi 1000 times in the last two weeks most would understand the point. :)
They predicted the morass we have today and saw throughout the Schiavo case.
George Washington - "..And let us indulge with caution the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion... Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail to the exclusion of religious principle."
John Adams - "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
James Madison - "We've staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future ...upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded."
Noah Webster - "No truth is more evident to any mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."
Sign me up - I just read this and agree with everything you've said!
Hey, here's a wacky idea - how about if you don't post any comparative picture, and just go find evidence of that person doing bad things? That way, you can prove the point you're trying to make, that the person in question is a bad person, and you can do it with some modicum of intellectual integrity. I know, I know - you have to, like, work to make your case if you do it that way, and it's certainly harder than just making some sort of goofy off-the-wall smear by comparing that person to Hitler, but it really does the job, and it doesn't make you look like a nut in the process. Whaddaya say? Could be it's just crazy enough to work...
I agree. I also think my post #4426 and the answers in posts #4427 and #4428 answered alot of questions too.
You may be right but I don't want to speculate. We can never truly know what peoples' motivations are unless we know them personally. And sometimes not even then. We can, of course, project our own feelings onto them and hope that's how they feel. I hope that what you believe about them is true. I can tell that is how you would feel. But I just can't discuss this any more. I'm not being rude. I guess I'm just very tired and weary. Good night and God bless.
Wanting to dehydrate a person unto death without a rehearing is extremism in action.
Me too! It would have done a lot of good. I was hoping ole Jesse Jackson would try it....would they have tazered him?
This would have been so satisfying on many levels, eh?!
From one old timer(lurked since LD Brown spoke at the March for Justice on CSPAN) to another - FR will survive. There may be some changes in the posters, but it'll survive. It survived Elian. It survived 2000(And I was a 3rd party leaner until I got my absentee ballot and voted with the NRA). It even survived losing its top enemy in Bill Clinton. It's even survived cases of "office politics", which is the meanest type of politics I've ever been a part of(with a different org). It'll certainly survive the departure and posts of a few drama queens with the Nazi BS smears from many on one side and religious bigotry by some on the other.
A month, two months from now, this story will die down, and things will get back to normal slowly, until salvos fired off with the next big issue arrives, as these things happen until it's election season when FR peaks.
Some will stay, and some will leave, but FR will still be there.
Did they ever!
I tell you what. I'll meet you in heaven and we'll go ask God. What is worse Lord? Killing a woman in a persistent vegetative state when you know no human being would want to live that way .... year after year after year after year OR ... Keeping her in that state for political purposes?
Too many incorrect assumptions in your post to unpack tonight.
Yeah right. Spare me.
The evidence is all of the rulings against Terri Shiavo's family and interests.
You attempt at being witty bombed big time!
Did you just come out of a coma? You just realized that? WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND IN THIS STATEMENT?
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America.
And what if God's response is this:
"She wasn't in a persistent vegetative state. She did want to be healed someday. She did hope she would be. You judged wrongly. You should have erred on the side of life so you would not be in the position you are now. Bye, bye! ZAP!
The ultimate ZAP!
IMO it was a conscious effort to find and post Hitler with the labrador retriever.
LOL
