What has influenced you? Thanks
To: fortunate sun
Nothing more profoundly than The Holy Bible.
To: anniegetyourgun
Yes, the Holy Bible, and I also read Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost For His Highest” every day as well (essays on various scriptures dealing with Christian living).

Liberals will use lists like this against us - guess that’s the price of being honest and open.

To: fortunate sun
You raise an interesting point. Perhaps there should be a suggested reading list. In my case:
The Holy Bible
“The Prince” and “The Republic”, both by Machiavelli
“Flatland” by Edwin Abbott Abbott
“The Second World War” in 6 Volumes by Churchill
“The Art of War” by Sun Tsu
as well several Freemasonic books of no interest to non-Masons.

“Unconditional Life” by Deepak Chopra.
Walt Whitman
“AA” otherwise known as the “Big Book”.
The Gospels.
Dashiell Hammett’s books, Raymond Chandler’s books. Fiction, yes but the main character has all of the traits of independence, rational thinking and morals that a conservative strives for.

Thanks ... dyed-in-the-wool ...
That is continuity of error. I believe I picked that phrase up from some outdoor writer and never bothered to spell check it.
