Most of the people that stayed in New York, stayed because they like the liberal policies of that state. Me, I couldn’t stomach the place NO MO.

My best internet buddies from former lives are a cousin who dropped out of the Marine Corps after about 10 tours in the Nam and a couple more decades wandering about from camp to camp to embassy to whatever. There are a couple of other cousins ~ out of 35 cousins ~ we keep in touch.

The one who went to Nam is interesting.

Oh, and his wife from one of Europe's smallest minority groups.

My Christmas card list includes an old friend who did 3 or 4 tours in the Nam, and ended up in prison for his art work. We've never missed cards even when he's in a different prison. Hard to keep up with his usernames.

You just have to keep in touch with these guys ~ when they're gone real history is gone ~ the warp and woof part that keeps the rest of it together.

Somebody here the other day was teasing me about trying to sound like a scholar ~ and maybe so ~ I think by now half the guys I went to grade school with are dead, or on life terms. That was Indiana's worst ZIP Code area then, and it is now. The other half are grandfathers living a long way away from that part of town. Every now and then though I call up the memories on the four guys who died in Nam. They're not around for the internet and probably wouldn't have had that much fun here, or Facebook, or whatever. I haven't forgotten them though.

Thanks for the title correction. This thread has been a real hit. Apparently this is something a lot of us are experiencing.

I cannot be friends with my absolute, mortal, hated enemy.

What meaning does friendship have if it is detached from the concept of values? If values of others are the opposite of yours, then they might be acquaintances, but true deep friendship is impossible with them.When one evaluates the moral character of others, one responds emotionally, feeling esteem and affection for those individuals whose values one shares. The result is the phenomena of affection, admiration, and friendship.

Just for you, Laz...the best “see ya” song ever...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUHPFgwn9d0&feature=related

“You know, none of us is gonna cry,
It wasn’t even worth a try.
So long, baby, goodbye!”

Play it loud as you drive away and they get smaller and smaller in your rear-view mirror...

It’s simple:

1. Political commentary for me is read and posted here.

2. Personal events are read and posted on Facebook.

I usually don’t mix the two. My 60 or so FB friends usually don’t either.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now why didn’t I think of that———before I had to re-reload? . . . . . . . LOL

You choose who your friends are and what they post is what you see. I have 99% conservative friends on mine... The libs that are there, all 3 of them, are actually very well spoken and manageable if they engage in debates on my page. you can delete or add any info you want. I have some liberal stuff show up on my newsfeed there but that’s because I added them do I can go on their pages and stir the crap when they straight up lie. The conservative movement is a HUGE force on Facebook.

I too appreciate your posts, Laz... And this is a highly enlightening thread. It’s one in which Freepers talk about the price we’ve paid to defend liberty.

Sort of cool to remember that when our founding fathers pledged their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” their lives really were at stake, their fortunes vast...

And their honor like steel.

Not perfect men, nor are we, but I like to think we emulate them.

Thank You for the info, and answer. Was praying your answer was the case. Good to know things about a media outlet and source. Powerful sources and opinions do sometimes make powerful enemies, yet by our enemies one is known as either a straddler, and/or left or right when viewed at the fence or on the fence.

Most happy you enjoyed that one Laz. Welcome to the South (seven years late). Despite the humidity in the summertime, the South has much to offer. It will remain such, as long as the transplants continue to be of your caliber.

“Friends” are one thing. Family members are another, which I’m sure we’re all aware of.

Right on, golux. I'm not worthy to carry my ancestors' powder horns, but I still want to walk in their steps, and do my part to defend liberty, the rule of law, and the moral civil society.
