What's sad is that you're trying to justify saying "basically all" when you mean "a sizeable minority."
And what's downright pathetic is that you think that bad-mouthing and name-calling serves as a defense of your character.
Whatever connection the 20th-century freemasons have to the heroes of the 18th century is looking miserably frayed.
Just keep saying "We used to be good! We used to be good!" as much as you like. In the 20th century, the freemasons dominated the ranks of the social arsonists; in the 21st century...
Well, nevermind... I'll be charitable and presume the FR contingent is just a poor example.
"Whatever connection the 20th-century freemasons"
I think Audie Murphy, Jimmy Doolittle, Edie Rickenbacker, Chesty Fuller, Winston Churchill, John Wayne, Gus Grissom, and many other 20th-century freemasons stand pretty much on their own, actually, just to name a few 20th Century heroes.
You posted this vile thread, which served no purpose, except to give you another venue to trash good men and true, alive and dead, and by extension, all of their family members.
Please tell me HOW, all 20th century Masons, including the likes of Harry Houdini, all of the Ringling brothers, Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, Robert E. Peary, Andrew Mellon, Dr. Charles H. Mayo ( as well as his father and son ), Irving Berlin, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Ty Cobb, John J. Pershing, George Cohan, Ernest Borgnine, Louis Armstrong, James C. Penny, Oliver Hardy, John Wayne, W. D. Griffth, Louis B. Mayer, Florenz Zigfield, Clark Gable, Booker T. Washington, Lowell Thomas, my grandfather and his brothers, my father, and my father-in-law, to mention but a few, deserve your irrational, paranoid, vile, spurious, libelous rants. Here's a hint..... THE DON'T!
If one were to judge FR, by you, they would decide that this site is composed of uneducated, paranoid, delusional, conspiracy theorists, who make things up out of whole clothe, and need to be institutionalized.
